Volunteer Services Performed by TVA Retirees

We audited $324,000 of costs billed to TVA by a contractor for providing volunteer services using TVA retirees to determine if the contractor had billed TVA in accordance with the contract terms and conditions. In summary, we found the contractor had overbilled TVA $63,755 including (1) $44,855 of unsupported costs and (2) an estimated $18,900 of ineligible travel expenses. The contractor agreed it had overbilled TVA $30,022 but stated (1) it disagreed with $25,000 of unsupported costs because a TVA employee had authorized the expenses and (2) the ineligible travel expenses would be reduced to $10,167 if TVA retroactively changes a contract reimbursement rate for mileage expenses.
