Background The 1030th USAF Auditor General Group was organized on 1 July 1948 at
the Pentagon to provide auditing services for the Air Force. It moved to
Norton Air Force Base on 1 August 1965. After transitioning its functions to the
Air Force Audit Agency, it was inactivated on 1 May 1972.
Formation of the agency The
Air Force Audit Agency was designated as separate operating agency under the
Comptroller of the Air Force on 31 December 1971. On 24 July 1978, it was transferred under the
Secretary of the Air Force with oversight from the Assistant Secretary of the Air Force. In 1986, the
Department of Defense reorganization resulted in significant changes within the Secretariat of the Air Force. The Auditor General of the Air Force then reported directly to the Secretary of the Air Force, with no oversight or supervision from other Secretariat offices. ==Lineage==
