Audit Report 05-22
May 2005
Office of the Inspector General

In planning and performing our audit of the Department's deployment of JABS, we considered internal controls for the purpose of determining our auditing procedures. This evaluation was not made for the purpose of providing assurance on the Program Management Office's internal controls as a whole. We noted, however, a matter that we consider to be a reportable condition under the Government Auditing Standards. Reportable conditions involve matters coming to our attention relating to significant deficiencies in the design or operation of the internal controls that, in our judgment, could adversely affect the Program Management Office's ability to effectively manage the implementation of JABS. Reportable conditions we identified pertaining to accomplishing goals and deploying JABS are contained in Findings 1 and 2 of this report. Because we are not expressing an opinion of the Program Management Office's internal controls as a whole, this statement is intended solely for the information and use of the Program Management Office in managing the implementation of JABS. This restriction is not intended to limit the distribution of this report, which is a matter of public record.
