Audit Of The Drug Enforcement Administration’S Confidential Source Policies And Oversight Of Higher-Risk Confidential Sources

The Department of Justice (DOJ) Office of the Inspector General (OIG) is conducting an audit of the Drug Enforcement Administration's (DEA) Confidential Source Program. The OIG initiated the audit as a result of the OIG's receipt and review of numerous allegations regarding the DEA's handling and use of confidential sources. In addition, in 2005, the OIG issued a report on the DEA's payments to confidential sources. The OIG's 2005 report identified needed improvements in the DEA's risk management over the use of and payments to confidential sources. This audit report specifically focuses on our examination to date of the DEA's confidential source policies and their consistency with Department-level standards for law enforcement components, review of the DEA's oversight of certain high-level confidential sources and high-risk activities involving confidential sources, and evaluation of the DEA's administration of death and disability benefits to confidential sources.
