Statement By CIA Regarding the Findings of the Agency Accountability Board

Jan 14, 2015

"CIA today announced that it has accepted the recommendations of an Agency Accountability Board convened last year to review CIA Office of Inspector General (OIG) findings regarding five individuals at CIA and to issue recommendations on possible accountability and any systemic issues identified.

"The Board was chaired by former Senator and Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI) member Evan Bayh and was comprised of former White House Counsel Bob Bauer and three senior career CIA officials. Last month, the Board completed its review and issued its recommendations to CIA leadership.

"In summary, the Board found that the five individuals previously cited by the OIG for improper access to the SSCI side of a CIA computer network had acted reasonably in an effort to investigate a potential security breach in that highly classified computer network, and determined that no disciplinary actions for the individuals were warranted. CIA leadership, in consultation with the Director of National Intelligence, has accepted the recommendations on accountability. The Board also made a handful of recommendations regarding systemic issues, which CIA leadership has accepted."
