Independent Auditor’s Report on the FY 2022 DoD Detailed Accounting Reports (DODIG-2023-048)

Public Law 105-277, title VII, “Office of National Drug Control Policy Reauthorization Act of 1998,” October 21, 1998, requires National Drug Control Program agencies to submit detailed accounting each year to the Director of the Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP). The detailed accounting reports all funds expended by the agencies for National Drug Control Program activities during the previous fiscal year. The Act also requires each agency Inspector General to authenticate the detailed accounting before it is submitted to the ONDCP Director (section 1704[d], title 21, United States Code). We reviewed the FY 2022 DoD detailed accounting reports and the related assertions within those reports. DoD management is responsible for its assertions. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the DoD detailed accounting reports based on our review.
