Federal Reports

The Department of Homeland Security U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) repatriates thousands of aliens every year. In this review, we sought to identify barriers to the repatriation of detained aliens with final orders of removal. Our case review of 3,053 aliens not removed within the prescribed 90-day timeframe revealed that the most significant factors delaying or preventing repatriation are external and beyond ICE’s control. The two predominant factors delaying repatriation are legal appeals and obtaining travel documents. Internally, ICE’s challenges with staffing and technology also diminish the efficiency of the removal process.

This report presents the results of our independent performance audit of the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission’s (EEOC) information security program and practices in accordance with the Federal Information Security Modernization Act of 2014 (FISMA). FISMA requires Federal agencies, including EEOC, to have an annual independent evaluation performed of their information security programs and practices to determine the effectiveness of such programs and practices, and to report the results of the evaluation to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB).

Williams, Adley & Company – DC, LLP , under contract with the DHS OIG, issued an Independent Accountant’s Report on U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s (CBP) fiscal year 2018 Detailed Accounting Submission for drug control funds. CBP management prepared the Table of FY 2018 Drug Control Obligations and related disclosures in accordance with requirements of the Office of National Drug Control Policy’s Circular, Accounting of Drug Control Funding and Performance Summary, dated May 8, 2018 (the Circular). CBP management was unable to provide supporting documentation for the drug control methodology used to estimate the percentages of obligations allocated between interdiction and intelligence. These percentages are used to derive the dollar-value of obligations reported as Drug Resources by Budget Decision Unit and Drug Control Function in the Table of FY 2018 Drug Control Obligations presented in CBP’s Detailed Accounting Submission. As a result, Williams Adley was unable to complete review procedures needed to assess the reasonableness and accuracy of the methodologies used. Except as noted above, nothing came to William Adley’s attention that caused them to believe that CBP’s FY 2018 Detailed Accounting Submission is not presented in conformity with the criteria set forth in the Circular.
