Federal Reports

A contractor agreed to reimburse Amtrak $771,813 for overbilling base labor and overhead rates on contracts that required the use of actual labor and indirect cost rates. The contractor voluntarily self-reported the overbilling to our office on July 26, 2022, after conducting internal audits related to two prior OIG investigations. On January 30, 2024, the contractor resolved these billing issues with Amtrak, covering overbilling on 22 contracts during the period from 2016 to 2022.

Review of the FLRA's Compliance with the Payment Intregity Information Act of 2019 for Fiscal Year 2023

What We Looked At This report presents the results of our quality control review of Allmond & Company LLC’s (Allmond) management letter for its audit, conducted under contract with us, of the Great Lakes St. Lawrence Seaway Development Corporation’s (GLS) financial statements for fiscal year 2023. The management letter discusses two internal control matters that Allmond was not required to include in its audit report. What We Found Our quality control review of the management letter disclosed no instances in which Allmond did not comply, in all material respects, with U.S. generally accepted Government auditing standards. Our Recommendations Allmond made two recommendations in its management letter. GLS concurred with both recommendations. 

The objective of the audit was to assess the reliability, validity, and relevance of the quality control process employed by the Central Nonprofit Agencies (CNAs) and Nonprofit Agencies (NPAs) to correct product deficiencies prior to delivery.
