Federal Bureau of Investigation Legal Attaché Program*

Report No. 04-18
March 2004
Office of the Inspector General


REDACTED AND UNCLASSIFIED

Statement on Compliance with Laws and Regulations

We have audited the FBI’s management of the Legal Attaché Program.  In connection with the audit, as required by the standards, we reviewed management processes and records to obtain reasonable assurance about the FBI’s compliance with laws and regulations that, if not complied with, in our judgment, could have a material effect on FBI operations.  Compliance with laws and regulations applicable to the FBI’s management of the Legal Attaché Program is the responsibility of the FBI’s management.

Our audit included examining, on a test basis, evidence about laws and regulations.  The specific laws and regulations against which we conducted our tests are contained in the relevant portions of:

  • Title 21, United States Code, Section 871;
  • Title 28, United States Code, Section 533;
  • National Security Determination Directive 38; and
  • Executive Order 12333.

Our audit did not identify areas where the FBI was not in compliance with the laws and regulations referred to above.  With respect to areas that were not tested, nothing came to our attention that caused us to believe that the FBI management was not in compliance with the laws and regulations cited above.

* BECAUSE THIS REPORT CONTAINED INFORMATION CLASSIFIED AS "SECRET" BY THE FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION, WE REDACTED (WHITED OUT) THAT INFORMATION FROM THE VERSION OF THE REPORT THAT IS BEING PUBLICLY RELEASED. WHERE SUCH INFORMATION WAS REDACTED IS NOTED IN THE REPORT.
