The purpose of this memorandum is to notify you that we are initiating the subject audit. The objective of this audit is to assess whether the Marine Corps effectively managed the maintenance of the Marine Corps Prepositioning Program-Norway (MCPP-N) inventory and conducted proper oversight of logistical support provided through a bilateral agreement with the Government of Norway. We may revise the objective as the audit proceeds, and we will also consider suggestions from management for additional or revised objectives. We plan to perform this audit in accordance with the Government Accountability Office's generally accepted government auditing standards.
We will perform the audit at Headquarters Marine Corps, Blount Island Command, and MCPP-N storage locations in Norway. We may identify additional locations during the audit.
