Subj:
PROCUREMENT MANAGEMENT INTERNAL CONTROL PROGRAMS
1. PURPOSE. This Instruction outlines the Coast Guard's internal control programs for the
procurement function.
2. ACTION. Area and district commanders, commanders of maintenance and logistics commands,
Sector commanders, assistant commandants for directorates, commanding officers of headquarters
units, Judge Advocate General, and offices at Headquarters shall ensure compliance with the
provisions of this Instruction. Internet release is authorized.
3. DIRECTIVES AFFECTED. Procurement Management Review Program, COMDTINST 4200.30B,
is cancelled.
4. DISCUSSION. Internal control programs provide agency management with reasonable assurance
that the following internal control objectives are met: obligations and costs are in compliance with
applicable laws; procedures are in place to prevent and detect fraud, waste, and abuse; revenues and
expenditures applicable to agency operations are recorded and accounted for properly so that
accounts and reliable financial and statistical reports may be prepared and accountability of the
assets may be maintained; and programs are efficiently and effectively carried out according to
applicable laws and management policy. Internal control reviews of the procurement function are
part of the Coast Guard's effort to improve its procurement process, ensure sound business decisions
and comply with all applicable statutes and regulations through the implementation of internal
controls. In addition to helping individual Coast Guard procurement activities, the internal control
programs contribute toward an improved procurement process that implements improved
procurement oversight; provide policy guidance that is more centralized and formulated to
accurately reflect the realities of procurement operations; and serve as a tool for resolution of
procurement problems on a Coast Guard-wide level.
