Exhibit 355 · Inspector general evaluation

Section 847 Ethics Requirements for Senior Defense Officials Seeking Employment with Defense Contractors (DODIG-2014-050)

As a result, we concluded that AGEAR was of marginal value as a management control system, and that DoD may not have fully complied with the intent of the law.
