Report Description

We audited the Tennessee Valley Authority’s (TVA) Economic Development (ED) loan program to determine if TVA ED loans were executed and administered in accordance with TVA policies and procedures. Our audit scope included 59 loans with outstanding balances of approximately $47.5 million as of December 31, 2019.We found that TVA ED loans were generally executed and administered in accordance with TVA policies and procedures. However, we found instances where loans were originated subsequent to the expiration date of (1) credit analyses, and/or (2) loan commitment periods. We also found that loan program guidance could be improved by incorporating the ED loan program guidelines into TVA Standard Programs and Processes 24.015, Economic Development Loan Programs. We made two recommendations to TVA management to (1) ensure credit analyses and/or loan commitments are current when new loans are issued and (2) update TVA Standard Programs and Processes 24.015, Economic Development Loan Programs to include ED loan program guidelines.
