Bureau of Engraving and Printing
Leonard Olijar - Associate Director and Chief Financial Officer

As part of the effort to make sure the agency that prints the money is getting taxpayers the most bang for their buck, Olijar says the Bureau recently undertook a reorganization to streamline operations and that the effort has now led to a focus on internal controls. Olijar says while the current controls do work, watching the current process is like watching Frankenstein dance.
