The purpose of this memorandum is to notify you that we are initiating the subject audit. The objective of this audit is to determine whether DoD Components had controls in place to effectively manage their lines of service for unclassified mobile devices under the DoD Wireless Services Spiral 4 contract. 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 the Office of the DoD Chief Information Officer and the Naval Supply Systems Command. We will visit select DoD Components with unclassified mobile services and devices procured through the DoD Wireless Services Spiral 4 contract. We may identify additional offices during the audit.
We request that you designate two points of contact for this audit within 5 days of this memorandum. One point of contact should be a Government employee—a GS-15, pay band equivalent, or military equivalent—who is knowledgeable of how the Component manages and monitors usage of it’s lines of service for unclassified mobile devices. The second point of contact should be a member of the Senior Executive Service or a General/Flag Officer who is familiar with the Component’s unclassified mobile device program, and could serve as a point of engagement with DoD Office of Inspector General senior leaders, if necessary.
The Inspector General Act of 1978, 5 U.S.C. §§ 401-424, as amended, authorizes us to have access to personnel and materials as we determine necessary to perform our oversight in a timely manner.
