Federal law requires Executive and Federal Branch agencies to institute programs designed to respond to and follow up on audits issued by the Agency's Office of Inspector General (OIG) and the General Accounting Office (GAO), the two main bodies which audit EPA programs and activities. The audit management process is comprised of three main activities; cooperating with auditors to provide information, responding to audits, and implementing audit recommendations to correct deficiencies found during the investigation. The reference guide is designed to introduce the audit management process tool available to the Office of Emergency and Remedial Response (OERR) managers and staff, Superfund Report Information System (SRIS): a description of SRIS and its operation is provided. |
