This final report provides the results of the DoD Office of Inspector General’s external peer review of the National Guard Bureau (NGB) Internal Review (IR) Office. We previously provided copies of the draft report and requested written comments on the recommendations. We considered management’s comments on the draft report when preparing the final report. These comments are included in the report.
This report contains three recommendations that we consider unresolved because the NGB IR Director did not fully address the recommendations presented in the report. We will track the recommendations until the NGB IR Director agrees to take action that we determine to be sufficient to meet the intent of the recommendations and provides adequate documentation showing that all agreed-on actions to implement the recommendations are completed. DoD Instruction 7650.03 requires that recommendations be resolved promptly. Therefore, within 30 days, please provide us your response concerning specific actions in process or completed on the recommendations.
