Independent Auditors’ Report on SBA’s Compliance with DATA Act Reporting
The Digital Accountability and Transparency Act of 2014 (DATA Act) requires OIG to annually audit SBA’s financial data and adherence to government financial data standards. We contracted with the independent certified public accounting firm KPMG LLP to conduct the annual audit. KPMG found the agency’s reporting required under the DATA Act. SBA met the government-wide financial data standards, and the data submission was of higher quality than in previous years. The agency has made progress since the 2019 audit increasing the availability, accuracy, and usefulness of federal spending information.However, SBA did not submit certain data completely, accurately, or on time. In addition, SBA needs to improve the completeness and accuracy of DATA Act reporting.
The objectives of this performance audit were to assess the completeness, timeliness, quality, and accuracy of Fiscal Year 2021, First Quarter financial and award data submitted for publication on USAspending.gov in accordance with the DATA Act and to assess the Peace Corps’ compliance with use of the Government-wide financial data standards established by the Office of Management and Budget and the Department of the Treasury. While the majority of the data submitted was of high quality, the agency failed to include required information in their submission, submitted inappropriate data, and misrepresented the level of budgetary resources used. These errors occurred because the agency continues to lack a comprehensive quality control program over the DATA Act submissions, including source systems and data.
