Communications Support for Senior DOD Officials

Abstract : The audit objective was to evaluate communications that Support the Secretary and the Chairman. Specific objectives were to determine the validity of the allegations in the complaint made to the Defense Hotline and to evaluate the management control program as it applied to the primary audit objective. Although we announced the objective to evaluate the management control program, we did not complete that objective because the planned communications upgrades to the SLTCC were not being implemented by a single assessable unit or organization. Therefore, we did not review implementation of the management control program applicable to communications that support senior DoD officials.
