National Endowment for the Arts Office of Inspector General Semiannual Report to Congress

During the recent semiannual period, the OIG issued two evaluation reports and the 2011 financial statement audit report. The evaluation reports contained twelve recommendations; eleven related to systems deficiencies at the NEA, and one related to an NEA grantee. Corrective actions for the eleven recommendations to the NEA are in process, and the grantee recommendation was cleared during this reporting period. The 2011 Financial Statement Audit Report was issued with an unqualified (clean) opinion, and the 2011 FISMA evaluation report found that although NEA made progress in complying with FISMA, some additional improvements were needed.
