The System Review Report states that the review covered the system of quality control for the DIA OIG’s audit organization for the three-year period ending 30 April 2017. The report concludes that the system of quality control was suitably designed and implemented to provide reasonable assurance of compliance with applicable professional standards. The DIA OIG received an External Peer Review rating of “pass.”

The report also mentions that certain limited procedures were applied to DIA OIG’s monitoring of audits performed by Independent Public Accountants (IPAs) under contract. However, it clarifies that these procedures were not subject to Government Auditing Standards and do not result in an opinion on DIA OIG’s monitoring of IPAs’ work.
