New GAO Reports: Statutory Authorities to Prohibit IG Activities, Financial Management Systems, SEC Enforcement Division

  • Statutory Authorities to Prohibit Inspector General Activities, GAO-09-660R, May 08, 2009: “The IG Act provides specific protections intended to help ensure the independence of IG audits and investigations. For example, the IG Act prohibits an agency head from preventing an IG from initiating, carrying out, or completing any audit or investigation, or from issuing any subpoena during the course of any audit or investigation. However, the IG Act authorizes
    the heads of six agencies to prohibit their respective IGs from carrying out or completing an audit or investigation, or from issuing any subpoena if the head determines that such prohibition is necessary to prevent either the disclosure of certain sensitive information or significant harm to certain national interests.”
