Division of Veterans' Affairs

Administration and Coordination of Veterans' Services (Follow-Up Review)

The Division of Veterans’ Affairs was created to coordinate programs and activities that aid members of the armed forces, veterans, and their families. In our prior audit report 98-S-56, we examined the effectiveness of this coordination and found that, because of significant weaknesses in the Division’s internal controls, systems had not been established for ensuring coordination between the Division and other agencies providing veterans’ services. We recommended improvements in the Division’s coordination of services, and recommended that the Division consider establishing a multi-agency task force to address the needs of veterans who are served by more than one organization. In our follow-up review, we found that all of the recommendations contained in our prior report had been implemented.
