Section 1 – Purpose

1A – Description of Bureau Vision and Priorities 

The Treasury Office of Inspector General (OIG) provides independent oversight of the 

Department of Treasury and eight bureaus. The OIG has two primary offices, the Office 

of Audit (OA) and the Office of Investigations (OI). 

The OIG’s requested funding will be used to provide critical audit and investigative 

services, ensuring the effectiveness and integrity of Treasury’s programs and operations. 

We will continue, as our first audit priority, to address mandated requirements related to 

financial statements, information security, Treasury procurements on behalf of the 

Department of Defense, and as necessary, failed financial institutions resulting in 

material losses (more than $25 million) to the deposit insurance funds. While there are a 

number of critical areas where the OIG will also provide audit oversight, highlights of

three of the Department’s most serious management challenges and where we plan to 

focus our work include: 

Programs to Combat Terrorist Financing and Money Laundering -- Treasury faces 

unique challenges in carrying out its responsibilities under the Bank Secrecy Act 

(BSA) and USA Patriot Act to prevent and detect money laundering and terrorist 

financing. To effectively prevent and detect financial crimes and terrorist financing it is 

necessary to have: (1) strong control environments at financial institutions that ensure 

that business is conducted with reputable parties, and large currency transactions and 

suspicious activities are properly and timely reported to Treasury, (2) strong federal 

and state regulatory agencies that examine and enforce BSA and USA Patriot Act 

requirements at financial institutions, and (3) strong analytical capacity to identify and 

refer to law enforcement leads provided through reports filed by financial institutions. 

While FinCEN is the Treasury bureau responsible for administering BSA, it relies on 

other Treasury and non-Treasury agencies to enforce compliance with the Act’s 

requirements. The Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), the Treasury office 

responsible for administering U.S. foreign sanction programs, also relies on other 

Treasury and non-Treasury agencies to ensure compliance with OFAC requirements. 

Past audits and Congressional hearings have surfaced serious regulatory gaps in the 

detection of and/or timely enforcement action against financial institutions for BSA 

and related violations. This management challenge will continue to be a major focus of

our audit program. 

Efforts to Ensure the Security of Treasury ’s Information Systems -- The Department 

faces serious challenges in bringing its systems into compliance with information 

technology security policies, procedures, standards, and guidelines. In its fiscal year 2006 

Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA) independent evaluation, the 

OIG continued to report significant deficiencies in the Department’s information security 

programs and practices, constituting substantial non-compliance with the FISMA 

requirements. Although the Department recently established a reliable systems inventory 

(a significant problem in the past) improvements are still needed in the areas of: 

OIG - 2 
certification and accreditation, security awareness, training employees with significant 

security responsibilities, tracking corrective actions, identifying and documenting system

interfaces, security self-assessments, configuration management, and incident response. 

During 2006, OMB required agencies to perform specific actions to protect certain 

personally identifiable information. The OIG reported that the Department faces 

significant challenges to meet these requirements. 

Treasury’s Management of Capital Investments -- Treasury needs to better manage large 

acquisitions of systems and other capital investments. OIG reported significant cost 

escalations in the Department’s HR Connect system and the Treasury and Annex Repair 

and Restoration (TBARR) project. OIG also reported that the Department’s Treasury 

Communication Enterprise (TCE) system, estimated to cost $1 billion, was poorly 

planned, executed, and documented. Among other things, the transition to TCE was 

delayed due in part to a successful protest of the bid award, and the Department changing 

course on how it addressed the bid protest decision. More recently, after nearly 2 years 

in development and $15 million spent, FinCEN terminated its contract for the storage 

and retrieval component of BSA Direct after significant concerns were raised about 

schedule delays and project management. 

Investigative priorities for FY 2008 are: 

• Investigating complaints of alleged criminal and serious misconduct, 

• Investigating allegations of fraud and other crimes involving Treasury 

contracts, grants, guarantees (fictitious instruments), and federal funds, 

• Investigating instances of misdirected and stolen payments usually accompanied 

by identity theft enterprises, 

• Investigating a variety of financial programs (OTS, OCC, & TTB), like those 

where fraud and other crimes are involved in the issuance of licenses or benefits 

provided to citizens, 

• Performing oversight or quality assurance reviews of the Treasury's 

police operations at BEP and the U.S., and 

• Proactive efforts in detecting, investigating, and deterring electronic crimes 

and other threats to the Department’s physical and cyber critical 

infrastructure. 

Resources required to support OIG operations for FY 2008 are $18,450,000 from direct 

appropriations, and $1,300,000 from reimbursable agreements for contract audits of other 

Treasury bureaus. 

1B – Program History and Future Outlook 

In FY 2005, the OIG completed 54 audits and evaluations, and opened 168 new cases and 

referred 85 investigations for criminal prosecution, civil litigation, or corrective 

administrative action. OIG audits identified potential monetary benefits (cost savings 

OIG - 3 
and/or funds put to better use) totaling nearly $52 million, and our investigative efforts 

led to more than $6 million collected in fines, restitution, recoveries and settlements paid 

to the government or aggrieved parties. 

In FY 2006, OIG efforts resulted in 57 audits completed, 488 complaints reviewed for

potential investigation or inquiry, 129 new cases opened, 144 investigations referred, 

potential monetary benefits of $35 million identified, and nearly $600 thousand 

collected in fines, restitution, recoveries, and settlements. 

In FY 2007, the Office of Audit expects to perform or supervise contractors to meet 

mandated audit requirements and focus its self-initiated audit resources to address the 

major management and performance challenges identified by the Inspector General. 

Those challenges are (1) Corporate Management, (2) Management of Capital 

Investments, (3) Information Security, (4) Linking Resources to Results and (5) AntiMoney Laundering and Terrorist Financing/Bank Secrecy Act Enforcement. In FY 

2007, the Office of Investigations plans to continue investigating all reports of fraud, 

waste and abuse, and other criminal activity. FY 2007 resources will enable OI to 

maintain the improvements made to aggressively investigate, close, and refer cases in a 

timely manner. OI will also continue to conduct a limited number of proactive integrity 

projects such as the fraudulent improper payments project initiated in FY 2006. 

The requested FY 2008 resource level will allow OIG to maintain performance at a 

level consistent with FY 2006 and FY 2007. OIG has continued to direct a significant

portion of its limited resources to auditing Treasury programs that combat terrorist 

financing and money laundering, including a number of important audits at FinCEN, 

OFAC, OCC, and OTS. 

OIG expects to complete 56 audits and evaluations and refer 105 investigations in FY 

2008, however OIG continues to lack sufficient resources to comprehensively audit the

Department’s programs and operations.

firsthand, unbiased perspectives and recommendations for improving the economy, 

efficiency, and effectiveness of Treasury programs and operations. The Office of Audit 

often identifies significant cost savings to the government, principally through selfinitiated audits. 

The Office of Audit also responds to requests by Treasury officials and the Congress for 

specific work. While statute requires certain audits be conducted every year, the number 

of additional congressionally-required audits and requests has increased in recent years.

Description of Performance: In FY 2005, the OIG completed 54 audits and evaluations, 

completed all statutory audits by the required dates and identified potential monetary

benefits (cost savings and/or funds put to better use) totaling nearly $52 million. In FY

2006, OIG efforts resulted in 57 audits completed, all statutory audits completed on time 

and $35 million in potential monetary benefits identified.

In FY 2007, the Office of Audit will continue to perform or supervise contractors in 

meeting mandated audit requirements. The Office of Audit will focus its limited selfinitiated audit resources to address the major management and performance challenges 

identified by the Inspector General. Those challenges are (1) Corporate Management, 

(2) Management of Capital Investments, (3) Information Security, (4) Linking 

Resources to Results and (5) Anti-Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing/Bank 

Secrecy Act Enforcement. 

Similarly for FY 2008, the Office of Audit will continue, as its first audit priority, to 

address mandated requirements related to financial statements, information security, and

as necessary, failed financial institutions resulting in material losses (more than $25 

million) to the deposit insurance funds. While there are a number of critical areas where 

the OIG will also provide audit oversight, our focus will be on the Department’s serious 

management challenges related to programs to combat terrorist financing and money 

laundering, the security of Treasury’s information systems, and Treasury’s management 

of capital investments.

prevention or deterrence of employee misconduct and fraud, or related financial crimes 

within or directed against Treasury. The Office of Investigations refers its cases to the 

Department of Justice and state or local prosecutors for criminal prosecution or civil 

litigation, or to agency officials for corrective administrative action.

Description of Performance: In FY 2005, the OIG opened 168 new cases and referred 85

investigations for criminal prosecution, civil litigation, or corrective administrative 

action, and OIG investigative efforts led to more than $6 million collected in fines, 

restitution, recoveries and settlements paid to the government or aggrieved parties 

collected. 

In FY 2006, the OIG reviewed 488 complaints for potential investigation or inquiry, 

opened 129 new investigations, and referred 149 investigations, leading to nearly $600 

thousand in fines, restitution, recoveries, and settlements. 

In FY 2007, the Office of Investigations (OI) plans to continue investigating all 

reports of fraud, waste and abuse and other criminal activity. FY 2007 resources will 

enable the Office of Investigations to maintain the improvements made in an effort to 

aggressively investigate, close, and refer cases in a timely manner. 

Given the current investigative resource level, the Office of Investigations continues to 

prioritize its workload by directing investigators to work on the most significant cases 

first. This, coupled with the realignment of OI in 2006, to include increasing 

OIG - 10 
supervision, should better position the OIG to reduce most delays associated with 

processing our criminal and serious employee misconduct investigations. 

In FY 2008 the Office of Investigations will continue investigating all reports of fraud, 

waste and abuse, and other criminal activity, and will maintain current efforts to 

aggressively investigate, close and refer cases for criminal prosecution, civil litigation or 

administrative action in a timely manner.

4B – Information Technology Strategy 

IT funding has been critical in enabling OIG to make significant progress in providing 

technology refreshment that allows our auditors, investigators, and support personnel to 

use hardware and software actively maintained by the manufacturers. IT funding also 

strengthens OIG’s entity-wide IT security program, with equipment designed for antivirus detection/protection, anti-spam detection, anti-spy detection, intrusion 

detection/prevention, monitoring and patch management, and disaster recovery. This 

ensures that the OIG IT infrastructure operates in a secure manner and that the 

information collected during audits and investigations of the Department’s operations and 

resources are not susceptible to computer attacks and terrorist activities. Maintaining the
