Functional and Physical Configuration Audits of Defense Systems

The audit objective was to evaluate the adequacy of the functional and physical configuration audit process for the acquisition of Defense systems. Specifically, we determined whether functional and physical configuration audits verified and documented that configuration items agreed with their configuration identifications, were complete and accurate, and satisfied program requirements. We also evaluated the management control program as it related to our audit objective. In Enclosure 1, we discuss the scope and methodology used to accomplish the objective as well as management controls and prior audit coverage.
