USAID has Gaps in Conforming with the Federal Information Technology Acquisition Reform Act

Enclosed is the final audit report on the U.S. Agency for International Development’s (USAID) implementation of the Federal Information Technology Acquisition Reform Act (FITARA). The Office of Inspector General (OIG) contracted with the independent certified public accounting firm Brown & Company CPAs and Management Consultants PLLC (Brown & Company) to conduct the audit. The contract required Brown & Company to perform the audit in accordance with generally accepted government auditing standards.

In carrying out its oversight responsibilities, OIG reviewed Brown & Company’s report and related audit documentation and inquired of its representatives. The audit firm is responsible for the enclosed auditor’s report and the conclusions expressed in it. We found no instances in which Brown & Company did not comply, in all material respects, with applicable standards.
