Last paragraph should read:
“These officials believe that OTIA is not exercising an effective oversight
role due in part to an inability to enforce compliance by the territories with
audit recommendations. This oversight responsibility conflicts with OTIA's
statutory responsibility to support greater autonomy for the territorial
governments."
It should be noted also that when OTIA disagrees with recommendations made by
the I.G., or when the I.G. attempts to make policy decisions outside its area
of responsibility, OTIA often sided with the territorial governments, as is
appropriate in its role as an advocate for the territories.

On the last line, the term “retains” would be preferable to “maintains".
The
latter implies an active role, and as a factual matter, that is inaccurate
