The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Office of Inspector General conducted this audit to determine whether the EPA has sufficient controls over its grants management processes to monitor post-award performance of grants awarded with Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act funding in accordance with federal grant requirements and other related EPA policies.
Summary of Findings
The EPA did not have controls in place to ensure that its regional offices are monitoring post-award performance of grants through required post-award monitoring plans and regular monitoring reviews. In addition, the regional offices did not always complete their baseline monitoring reports. Finally, of the 40 grant files we reviewed, 39 were not maintained in accordance with regional policy.
