The agency lacks adequate staffing with the necessary expertise and needs to improve "the overall core competencies of key financial management and personnel," according to the audit.
In response, the agency promised to "review and refine" its internal control procedures and promised to hire additional staff to make up for some of the gaps in expertise.
