Proposed Justice Management Division Internal Audit of Parole Commission

The document is a memorandum discussing the authority of the Justice Management Division (JMD) to conduct an internal audit of the Parole Commission. The conclusion reached is that the JMD does have the authority to conduct the internal audit, based on the legislative history of the Parole Commission and Reorganization Act. The document presents questions regarding the division of powers between the Chairman of the Commission and the Attorney General, as well as the responsibility of the Attorney General to ensure efficiency and fiscal integrity within the Department. It also raises the issue of whether the Commission's fiscal and related operations should be immune from the Attorney General's scrutiny.
