Information Technology Management Letter for the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center Component of the FY 2014 Department of Homeland Security Financial Statement Audit

We contracted with the independent public accounting firm KPMG LLP to perform the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for the year ended September 30, 2014. KPMG LLP evaluated selected general information technology controls and business process application controls at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center (FLETC), the Office of Intelligence & Analysis (I&A), and the Office of Operations Coordination and Planning (OPS). FLETC provides financial system hosting and support to I&A and OPS. KPMG LLP determined that FLETC, I&A, and OPS had made improvements in designing and consistently implementing controls related to reviewing audit logs and enforcing account security requirements.
