Management Advisory Review of Credit Hours and Premium Pay

What We Looked AtWe performed a quality control review (QCR) on the single audit that BDO USA, LLP performed for the Interurban Transit Partnership’s (ITP) fiscal year that ended September 30, 2018. During this period, ITP expended approximately $8.1 million from the U.S. Department of Transportation’s (DOT) grant programs. BDO determined that DOT’s major program was the Federal Transit Cluster. Our QCR objectives were to determine (1) whether the audit work complied with the Single Audit Act of 1984, as amended, and the Office of Management and Budget’s Uniform Guidance, and the extent to which we could rely on the auditors’ work on DOT’s major program; and (2) whether ITP’s reporting package complied with the reporting requirements of the Uniform Guidance. What We FoundBDO’s audit work complied with the requirements of the Single Audit Act, the Uniform Guidance, and DOT’s major program. We found nothing to indicate that BDO’s opinion on DOT’s major program was inappropriate or unreliable. However, we identified a deficiency in ITP’s reporting package that required correction and resubmission.  

The Office of Inspector General examined NASA’s management of the major Space Launch System contracts – core stage, upper stage, RS-25 engines, solid rocket boosters – to assess whether the programs are meeting cost, schedule, and performance goals.
