Three principal audit agencies (AA) conduct reviews of DCNO (N1)/CHNAVPERS, COMNAVPERSCOM, COMNAVCRUITCOM, and NAVMAC policies, programs and activities. They are the Government Accountability Office (GAO), the Department of Defense Assistant Inspector General for Auditing [DoDAIG(A)], and the Naval Audit Service (NAVAUDSVC).
Each agency performs similar functions, but each is responsible to a different level of government. The term audit encompasses surveys, reviews, and studies of all aspects of organizational operations, not just accounting and finance. All personnel will cooperate with AAs in the conduct of audit work and meet report response due dates. A timely reply is critical on issues which affect the management and funding of policies, programs, functions, or activities. BUPERS-00IG3 will request the name of an action officer (AO) for each audit. Enclosure (2) of BUPERSINST 7500.2B addresses the responsibilities of AOs
