The act also requires agencies to conduct annual independent reviews to determine the effectiveness of their programs and report the reviews’ results to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). We have contracted with CliftonLarsonAllen LLP, an independent public accounting firm, to conduct the review of the Department of Transportation’s (DOT) information security program for fiscal year 2024, subject to our oversight.
