Financial Audit of the Exports, Job, And Market Linkages in Carpet and Jewelry Value-Chains Project in Afghanistan, Managed by the Turquoise Mountain Trust, Agreement 72030619CA00001, January 1 to December 31, 2022
EAC OIG performed this review to determine whether EAC complied with the Payment Integrity Information Act of 2019 reporting requirements for fiscal year 2023.
Our objective was to assess the company’s efforts to support New Jersey Transit (NJ Transit) and oversee company interests as construction advances.We found that the project is both on budget and on schedule, as of January 2024, but we also found that the company has opportunities to improve its support to NJ Transit, the lead sponsor of the project, and better oversee its own interests. Specifically, it did not anticipate the demand for track outages and company labor, it had differing expectations with NJ Transit related to information sharing, and it did not initially staff its project team to effectively manage its work on the project.We recommend improvements to the company’s process for identifying outage, labor, and information needs at the outset of future projects. Further, for the Portal North Bridge project, we recommend that the company assess and address where information-sharing expectations may continue to vary with NJ Transit.

A Review of Pandemic Relief Funding and How It Was Used In Six U.S. Communities: Springfield, Massachusetts
To learn how communities across the nation responded to the pandemic, we initiated a multi-part review of six communities—two cities, two rural counties, and two Tribal reservations. This report is the first community-specific report and focuses on our work in Springfield, Massachusetts, where we previously identified that recipients, including city government, small businesses, and individuals, received almost $1.88 billion from 52 pandemic relief programs and subprograms. This report provides a closer look at nine pandemic programs and subprograms provided to Springfield by eight federal departments.
