Attention to U.S. Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board (CSB) management challenges could result in stronger results and protection for the public, and increased confidence in management integrity and accountability.
The Chemical Safety Board has lowered to low risk its purchase card program, for which it spent $302,556 in fiscal year 2015.
CSB has one system that contains sensitive PII. Safeguarding such information in the possession of the government and preventing its breach is essential to ensuring CSB retains the trust of the American public.
More work is needed by CSB to achieve an overall managed and measurable information security program that can effectively manage cybersecurity risks.
The CSB received an unmodified opinion on its fiscal year 2016 financial statements.
OIG reports issued in FY 2016 demonstrated high levels of compliance with OIG quality assurance procedures and received average compliance scores of 93 percent. Most of the issues identified during the FY 2015 review have improved. The FY 2016 review noted a few additional areas for improvement.
The Chemical Safety Board's purchase card program, for which it spent $238,390 in FY 2016, is at low risk for unauthorized purchases.
Continued CSB management attention on human resources should help CSB maximize its limited funding.
