Performance Audit Over the Adequacy of the Disclosure Statement (Original) for Nathan Associates Inc.
In its fiscal year (FY) 2010 Facilities and Administrative (F&A) cost proposal, the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) included $8.6 million in chilled water costs that were not in accordance with Federal requirements that costs must be reduced by applicable credits. As a result, UAB’s negotiated F&A rate was inflated by 1 percent per year for FYs 2012 through 2015, and it potentially received as much as $5.9 million in overpayments from the Federal Government.
The Social Security Administration’s Compliance with the Improper Payments Elimination and Recovery Improvement Act of 2012 in the Fiscal Year 2017 Agency Financial Report
The Postal Service is experiencing increased parcel volumes because of the trend toward online shopping and e-commerce. The number of Sunday hubs nationwide has increased from 459 in March 2014 to 2,349 at the end of fiscal year (FY) 2017. The San Francisco District had no hubs in March 2014, but had 39 Sunday hubs as of June 30, 2017. Sunday parcel volume in the San Francisco District increased 19 percent between FYs 2016 and 2017. We selected the San Francisco District for this audit based on the usage of regular full-time city carriers working on Sundays in FY 2017.
During this semiannual reporting period, we completed congressionally mandated audits of the NEA’s information systems security, financial data reported to the Treasury and the Office of Management and Budget, and NEA’s financial statements. These audits resulted in recommendations that will help NEA continuously improve information systems security and financial reporting accuracy and transparency. In addition, we addressed 23 hotline complaints, enabling us to help citizens avoid scams by individuals fraudulently representing themselves as NEA employees. Furthermore, we issued two audit reports with $205,093 in questioned cost and 24 recommendations to improve awards management. Finally, through our audit follow-up process, we collaborated with NEA managers to clear 23 recommendations, which will help improve stewardship of NEA funds by awardees.
