Review of the Activities of the Office of the Government Comptroller of the Virgin Islands, Fiscal Years 1963, 1964, and 1965

During our reviews of the audit activities of the Office of the Government Comptroller for fiscal years 1963 and 1964, we proposed the establishment of several procedures to improve the value of the services rendered by the Government Comptroller to the Government of the Virgin Islands. Our fiscal year 1965 review disclosed that the Government Comptroller had adopted our proposals. On the basis of our reviews of the audit activities of the Office of the Government Comptroller, we believe that, at the conclusion of our review in October 1965, the Government Comptroller was carrying out his audit responsibilities under section 17 of the Revised Organic Act of the Virgin Islands in a manner which substantially fulfills the requirements of the act. Our report also contains comments on the method of financing the activities of the Office of the Government Comptroller. Since 1959, the activities of the Office of the Government Comptroller have been financed by appropriations made by the Federal Government.
