We consider the most serious management and performance challenges facing DHS to be: performing fully and effectively during COVID-19, countering terrorism and homeland security threats, ensuring proper financial management, ensuring information technology (IT) supports essential mission operations, improving Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) contracts and grants management, disaster assistance, and fraud prevention, and strengthening oversight and management of major systems acquisition. Meeting these challenges requires unity of effort, a commitment to mastering management fundamentals, and the identification and allocation of appropriate resources. As we have noted in previous Major Management and Performance Challenges reports, many of the Department’s senior leadership positions still do not have permanent, Presidentially appointed and Senate confirmed officials.
KPMG issued an unmodified (clean) opinion on the financial statements, reporting that they present fairly, in all material respects, DHS’ financial position as of September 30, 2020. However, KPMG identified material weaknesses in internal control in two areas and other significant deficiencies in three areas. Consequently, KPMG issued an adverse opinion on DHS’ internal control over financial reporting. KPMG also reported three instances of noncompliance with laws and regulations. DHS concurred with all of the recommendations.
