The FBI failed to fully comply with court-ordered rules for searching digital communications involving U.S. citizens 4 percent of the time in a sample of queries examined by the FBI Office of Internal Auditing (OIA).

The audit was intended to examine the agency’s compliance with rules for querying data the government routinely collects on U.S. citizens under Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 (FISA).
