IT inspections enhance results produced from the annual FISMA and FISCAM audits through additional review of system security controls in areas not covered by other audits. Financial inspections assess the oversight and stewardship of funds in identified areas that draw on considerable VA financial resources. These inspections result in recommendations to promote the responsible use of VA’s appropriated funds.
