Description

Every year, federal law enforcement agencies seize millions of dollars in assets in the course of investigations. The Assets Forefeiture Fund (AFF) was established to receive the proceeds of forefeiture and holds more than $1 billion in assets. The Dept. of Justice (DOJ) uses the proceeds from forfeitures primarily to cover the costs of forfeiture activities. DOJ also shares forfeiture proceeds with state and local agencies that participate in joint investigations through its equitable sharing program. This report reviews (1) AFFäó»s revenues and expenditures from FY 2003 through 2011 and DOJäó»s processes for carrying over funds for the next fiscal year; and (2) the extent to which DOJ has established controls to help ensure that the equitable sharing program is implemented in accordance with established guidance. Tables and figures. This is a print on demand report.
