What the Office of Inspector General Evaluated
We performed evaluation procedures to determine whether the Nairobi overseas field office complied with Library policies and procedures in select areas: financial management and reporting, IT security, physical and preservation controls, payroll, and collection acquisition and processing.
What the Office of Inspector General Found
We found the Library did not timely deobligate funds and provide adequate monitoring of open obligations.
What the Office of Inspector General Recommends
We recommended the Library develop a reporting tool to generate and deliver periodic (e.g., monthly or quarterly) Legislative Branch Financial Management System generated open obligation reports directly to current Field Directors for review and to the extent feasible, enhance Legislative Branch Financial Management System functionality to create automated controls that ensure current employees are designated as Contracting Officer’s Representatives on transactions associated with open obligations.
