Performance Audit of Incurred Costs – University of New Hampshire
Audit of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission's Implementation of the Federal Information Security Modernization Act of 2014 for Fiscal Year 2023 Region I: King of Prussia, Pennsylvania
This Office of Inspector General (OIG) Comprehensive Healthcare Inspection Program report describes the results of a focused evaluation of the quality of care delivered in the inpatient and outpatient settings of the VA Caribbean Healthcare System, which includes the San Juan VA Medical Center and multiple outpatient clinics in Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands. This evaluation focused on five key operational areas:• Leadership and organizational risks• Quality, safety, and value• Medical staff privileging• Environment of care• Mental health (focusing on suicide prevention initiatives)The OIG did not issue recommendations for improvement related to the areas reviewed for this report.
The objective of the audit was to determine whether the Puerto Rico Department of Education (Puerto Rico DOE) used Immediate Aid to Restart School Operations (Restart) program funds for allowable and intended purposes. We determined that the Puerto Rico DOE did not always use Restart program funds for allowable and intended purposes. Specifically, of the approximately $8.6 million in indirect costs that the Puerto Rico DOE charged to its Restart program grant during our audit period, $2.5 million of it was not allowable. The $2.5 million in unallowable costs that the Puerto Rico DOE charged to the Restart program could have been used for allowable activities that would have assisted the Puerto Rico DOE in restarting school operations, reenrolling students, and reopening public and nonpublic elementary and secondary schools affected by the covered disaster. We also found that the Puerto Rico DOE needs to improve its management of technology devices it purchased for students and teachers using Restart program funds, and that it made several unallowable payroll payments (using Restart funds) to 3 teachers included in our statistical random sample. We made 8 recommendations to address the issues identified, including that it reallocate unallowable indirect costs it charged to the grant and ensure capitalization policies and procedures are followed.
