ANNUAL AUDIT, INSPECTION, AND EVALUATION PLAN, FISCAL YEAR 2013

I am pleased to present the Amtrak Office of Inspector General’s Fiscal Year 2013 Annual Audit, Inspection, and Evaluation Plan. This year promises to be another challenging and demanding one as we work to accomplish our core mission of conducting independent and objective audits, inspections, and evaluations, to promote economy, efficiency, and effectiveness in Amtrak’s programs and operations; and to prevent and detect fraud, waste, abuse, and mismanagement. This plan (1) outlines the areas in which we intend to undertake audit, inspection, and evaluation work during this fiscal year; (2) summarizes our most recent reports; (3) discusses our ongoing work, and (4) identifies future work focus areas.
