Summary Report on Significant Single Audit Findings Impacting DOT Programs for the 3-Month Period Ending September 30, 2020

What We Looked AtWe queried and downloaded 35 single audit reports prepared by non-Federal auditors and submitted to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse between July 1, 2020 and September 30, 2020, to identify significant findings related to programs directly funded by the Department of Transportation (DOT). What We FoundWe found that reports contained a range of findings that impacted DOT programs. The auditors reported significant noncompliance with Federal guidelines related to 8 grantees that require prompt action from DOT’s Operating Administrations (OA). The auditors also identified questioned costs totaling $25,838 for one grantee. RecommendationsWe recommend that DOT coordinate with the impacted OAs to develop a corrective action plan to resolve and close the findings identified in this report. We also recommend that DOT determine the allowability of the questioned transactions and recover $25,838, if applicable.
