EAC OIG, through the independent public accounting firm of Clifton Gunderson LLP, audited $26.8 million in funds received by the Utah Office of Lieutenant Governor under the Help America Vote Act. The objectives of the audit were to determine whether the Office of Lieutenant Governor (1) used payments authorized by Sections 101, 102, and 251 of HAVA in accordance with HAVA and applicable requirements; (2) accurately and properly accounted for property purchased with HAVA payments and for program income; and (3) met HAVA requirements for Section 251 funds for an election fund and for a matching contribution.

As part of our annual inspection plan, we initiated a review of the fire protection systems at the Raccoon Mountain Pumped-Storage Plant. In meeting with plant personnel, we were informed that in July 2010, Marsh Risk Consulting issued a report which included a number of recommendations for the plant to improve fire protection at the site. Based upon this, we decided to perform a walkdown of the site and a limited review of testing/inspection documentation for a sample of the fixed fire protection systems at the site.We noted no issues during our walkdown of the facility. However, we did note one deficiency with the testing/inspection of one of the fixed fire protection systems at the site, which was communicated to plant management. Despite the one identified deficiency, we determined that no further work in this area is warranted by our office at this time.
