Brought to you by the Council of the Inspectors General on Integrity and Efficiency
The Office of Inspector General is required by statute to report annually the most serious management and performance challenges facing the Department of Commerce. Attached is our final report on the Department’s top management and performance challenges for fiscal year 2020.
What We Looked AtWe queried and downloaded 81 single audit reports prepared by non-Federal auditors and submitted to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse between June 1, 2019 and August 31, 2019, 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 affected DOT programs. The auditors reported significant noncompliance with Federal guidelines related to 11 grantees that require prompt action from DOT's Operating Administrations (OA). The auditors also identified questioned costs totaling $1,005,222 for three grantees.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 $1,005,222, if applicable.
