Our objective is to determine, for the 3-year period ended May 31, 2021, whether the quality control system for the Defense Contract Management Agency Office of Internal Audit and Inspector General was designed to provide reasonable assurance that the policies and procedures related to the system of audit quality are suitably designed, operating effectively, and complied with in practice.
