Federal Reports

As required by the Federal Information Security Modernization Act, OIG reviewed USDA's ongoing efforts to improve its information technology security program and practices during Fiscal Year 2023.

Our work included reviewing and reporting information about the Bioproduct Pilot Program (BPP), from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) through a review of publicly available information, discussions with National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) officials, and a review of relevant documentation obtained from NIFA.

Implementing corrective actions on the open and unresolved recommendations contained in this Compendium could have potential monetary benefits of $74.6 million.

Our objective was to evaluate the internal controls over travel expenses within the PRC to determine if they were properly supported and in compliance with travel practices, policies, and procedures. Our audit tested for the existence of issues similar to those identified in previous audits to determine whether the implemented controls were effective. The scope of our audit was October 1, 2013, through September 30, 2022, and included international, domestic, and local travel vouchers. Our scope period covers all travel paid since the most recent audit of PRC travel.
