Issue Description The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has weaknesses in its fund control and financial reporting processes. DEA also needs to improve its information system security and identify costs charged for Controlled Substance Act Registration Fees. |
||||||
What We Will Do About It DEA will revise procedures on fund control and selected processing operations and publish a Final Rule in the Federal Register which identifies costs charged by Controlled Substance Act Registration fees. To improve systems security, DEA will implement a certification and accreditation plan, and strengthen systems access, input, and processing codes. |
