SPECIAL REVIEW 19-01: Use of TRANServe Benefits During the FY 19 Government Shutdown

In efforts to provide FEC management insight into the TRANServe program’s internal controls and operations, the OIG sought answers to the following questions: Did FEC employees misuse their TRANServe benefits during the FY 19 shutdown? Has management established adequate internal controls to monitor compliance with FEC Commission Directive 54, Employee Transit Benefit Program? As a result, we developed three recommendations to improve the operations and monitoring of the FEC TRANServe Program. These recommendations serve to enhance the integrity and effectiveness of the FEC TRANServe Program and the accuracy of the agency transit subsidy allocations.
