Title: AR AR 1-3b APPENDIX A - AUDIT, INSPECTION AND SPECIAL
ASSESSMENT REPORT HANDLING PROCEDURES
APPENDIX A
(11) AUDIT, INSPECTION AND SPECIAL ASSESSMENT
REPORT HANDLING PROCEDURES
(a) (U) SCOPE. OIG audit, inspection, and special assessment reports will be processed as
provided in procedures promulgated by the IG. OIG investigative reports will be
handled as appropriate for each case, but appropriate Agency components will be
provided an opportunity to comment on any major systemic recommendations and the
factual findings that are included in investigative reports.
(b) (U) DRAFT REPORT REVIEW AND COMMENT. Upon completion of an OIG
audit, inspection, or special assessment, OIG will transmit a draft report to Agency
components that would be responsible for implementing recommendations, and request
their written comments within a period of up to 30 days, with extensions as OIG deems
appropriate. Copies of draft reports will also be sent to the Associate Deputy Director
of the Central Intelligence Agency (ADD/CIA) and cognizant Directors, and to the
Director of the Central Intelligence Agency (D/CIA) and other senior Agency
managers as the IG deems appropriate, for information and comment. OIG will
consider all comments and make revisions to the report that OIG considers valid.
(c) (U) TRANSMITTAL OF FINAL REPORT. OIG will transmit the final report to
cognizant Agency managers, the ADD/CIA and appropriate Directors.
(d) (U) TEN AND SIXTY DAYS RESPONSES TO FINAL REPORT
RECOMMENDATIONS. Cognizant Agency managers will advise the IG in writing
within ten working days whether they concur in whole or in part with the
recommendations in the final report. If the managers concur with the recommendations,
they must forward to the IG within 60 days, through the appropriate Director, a report
explaining actions taken to implement the recommendations and providing a timetable
for recommendations that will require longer than 60 days to implement. If feasible, this

description of actions taken or planned to respond to the recommendations can be
included in the initial response that is done within ten days.
(e) (U) D/CIA DECISIONS. The IG reserves the right to seek D/CIA concurrence for any
recommendations with which a cognizant manager does not concur. In the event the IG
elects to exercise this option, the cognizant Agency manager, the responsible Director
and the ADD/CIA will be advised by the IG in writing 10 working days prior to
elevating the issue to the D/CIA.
(U) D/CIA NOTIFICATION. The IG will ensure that the D/CIA is apprised of
noteworthy findings and recommendations in OIG reports.
(g) (U) MONITORING OF RECOMMENDATIONS. The OIG and the ADD/CIA shall
monitor the implementation of OIG recommendations until the OIG and the ADD/CIA
agree that appropriate corrective action has been taken. Agency managers will be
responsible for keeping OIG informed of actions taken in response to OIG
recommendations. If the IG and the ADD/CIA cannot agree that substantial
implementation has been achieved, the IG shall so notify the ADD/CIA and the D/CIA,
and note such disagreement in the next semiannual report to the D/CIA.
(h) (U) REPORTING UNSATISFIED RECOMMENDATIONS. Significant
recommendations from OIG reports that remain unsatisfied will be reported by the IG in the
semiannual report to the D/CIA, as required by law, and forwarded by the D/CIA to Congress.
If a recommendation remains unsatisfied for a lengthy period, the IG may conclude that the
Agency does not intend to implement it. In such a case, the IG will include a statement in the
semiannual report setting forth the reasons the recommendation remains unsatisfied as well as
the IG's view of the impact of the failure to implement the recommendation. Thereafter, the
OIG will cease to track its implementation.
