Farm Credit Administration Office of Inspector General Strategic and Operating Performance Plan and Budgets, Fiscal Years 2010-2011

摘要

The Farm Credit Administration (FCA or Agency) Office of Inspector General (OIG) was established on January 29, 1989, as a result of 1988 amendments to the Inspector General Act of 1978 (IG Act). The IG Act established specific responsibilities and authorities for all Federal Inspectors General. The FCA Inspector General (IG) has a dual reporting responsibility to both the FCA Chairman and the oversight committees of the Congress. The OIG analyzes Agency performance through audits, inspections, and evaluations and provides conclusions and recommendations designed to strengthen Agency effectiveness and efficiency. The OIG also reviews existing and proposed legislation and regulations relating to Agency programs and operations to assess the impact on Agency economy and efficiency. The OIG contracts with an outside accounting firm for the annual audit of FCAs financial statements, internal control over financial reporting, and compliance with laws and regulations relating to the determination of financial statement amounts. The accounting firms opinion letters and accompanying Agency financial statements and notes are included in the Agencys annual Performance and Accountability Report. The OIG conducts the annual evaluation of the Agencys compliance with the Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA) and issues a report that is submitted to the Agency for further submission to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB).
