Project Announcement: Termination of the Audit of the National Background Investigation Services Security and Interoperability (Project No. D2020-D000CU-0072.000)

We announced the subject audit on January 9, 2020 (attached). The audit objective was to determine whether the DoD planned for and implemented effective cybersecurity controls to protect sensitive information in the National Background Investigation Services (NBIS). In addition, we would determine whether the DoD planned for, developed, and implemented controls to achieve interoperability between the NBIS and legacy background investigation systems. We are terminating this audit because the coronavirus disease–2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has impacted the deployment of the NBIS and the audit team’s ability to complete the audit.

Audit of Screening and Quarantine Procedures for Personnel Entering Al Udeid Air Base, Qatar (DODIG-2020-128)

Publicly Released: September 28, 2020

The objective of this audit was to determine whether the Air Force implemented screening and quarantine procedures for personnel entering Al Udeid Air Base (AUAB), Qatar, in accordance with applicable guidance in response to the coronavirus disease–2019 (COVID-19). We were able to determine whether screening and quarantine procedures were developed; however, because no one failed the initial screening during our observations, we could not verify how effectively the quarantine procedures were implemented.

Project Announcement: Audit of the Department of Defense Diversity, Inclusion, and Equal Opportunity Training for Military Personnel (Project No. D2020-D000AV-0184.000)

We plan to begin the subject audit in September 2020. The objective of this audit is to determine whether the Military Departments provide military personnel with diversity, inclusion, and equal opportunity training that aligns with the DoD's diversity, inclusion, and equal opportunity goals, and to determine whether the training is effectively implemented across the Military Departments in accordance with Federal and DoD policies.

Sept. 17, 2020

Project Announcement: Termination of the Audit of the DoD’s Implementation of Software Assurance Countermeasures for DoD Weapon System Programs (Project No. D2020-D000CS-0046.000)

We are terminating this classified audit because the coronavirus disease–2019 pandemic impacted the operational environment and the team’s ability to effectively complete the audit.

Sept. 17, 2020

Project Announcement: Audit of the Defense Logistics Agency Award and Management of Fuel Contracts in Areas of Contingency Operations (Project No. D2020-D000AU-0187.000)

We plan to begin the subject audit in September 2020. This audit will be conducted in response to a congressional request, contained in House Report 116-442, requiring that the Office of Inspector General brief the House Armed Services Committee on fuels contracting in areas of contingency operations. The objective of this audit is to determine whether Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Energy personnel awarded and met requirements for fuel requirements, in areas of contingency operations, as required by federal and DoD guidance. In addition, we will determine whether the DLA has processes in place to ensure contractors are meeting contractual obligations and following anticorruption practices.
