The objective of our review was to consolidate our follow-up activities related to OFORS system development issues.
What Office of Inspector General Found
With regard specifically to policies and procedures, we noted that Library Services had not developed policies and procedures that established stakeholder accountability and defined program and cost management activities in the following areas:
Development and tracking of a Project Management Plan
Project budget approval processes
Regularly scheduled project budget reporting
Cost variance analysis
Accountability for project contractor oversight
Tracking of corrective actions
What Office of Inspector General Recommend
The Library, in coordination with the Office of the Chief Information Officer and Financial Services Directorate develop and implement policies and procedures that clearly establish service Unit stakeholder accountability and define program/project and cost management responsibilities for the development and implementation of IT systems based on relevant best practices.
Library Services perform a gap analysis to assess whether OFORS business requirements and baselined cost estimates are being met and, if not, what corrective action steps should be taken based on a cost-benefit analysis. If corrective action steps are needed, a comprehensive project plan should be developed to manage and eliminate identified gaps.

Investigative Summary: Findings of Misconduct by a then Federal Bureau of Investigation Assistant Director for Seeking an Improper Intimate Relationship with a Subordinate, Sexual Harassment, and Related Misconduct
The Office of the Inspector General audited TVA’s backup verification of mission essential data to determine if TVA’s backups were being performed in accordance with business requirements and industry best practice. In summary, we determined that TVA’s backups of mission essential data included industry best practice in their business requirements. However, we found three business requirements were not being met. Specifically, we found (1) TVA was not using the enterprise authentication solution as required by their common control catalog, (2) test restores were not performed for essential backup and infrastructure components, and (3) backup data in transit was not encrypted. TVA management agreed with our findings and recommendations.
