Audit of the Federal Prison Industries, Inc. Annual Financial Statements Fiscal Years 2023 and 2022
The previously-issued audit report containing the Annual Financial Statements of the Federal Prison Industries, Inc. (FPI) for fiscal year (FY) 2022, dated March 2023, was withdrawn and removed from the OIG’s website and Oversight.gov as a result of material misstatements in FPI’s financial statements that were discovered in FY 2023. The report now linked to this page contains the auditor’s report on the FPI’s restated FY 2022 financial statements and completed FY 2023 financial statements.
The independent public accounting firm of McBride, Lock & Associates, LLC, under contract with the Office of Inspector General, audited Help America Vote Act (HAVA) grants administered by the Wyoming Secretary of State, totaling just under $12 million. This included federal funds, state matching funds, and interest income earned on the reissued Section 101 and Election Security grants.
The objective of this Federal Information Security Modernization Act of 2014 (FISMA) review was to determine the effectiveness of the Peace Corps’ information security program and practices based on the fiscal year (FY) 2025 Inspector General (IG) FISMA Reporting Metrics v2.0,1 which are categorized into 6 functional areas and 10 associated domains. The review also evaluated the Peace Corps’ efforts in addressing previously issued exceptions and recommendations.
The audit concluded that the Peace Corps’ financial statements were fairly presented, in all material respects, in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), and noted two significant deficiencies in the agency’s internal control over financial reporting, as well as one instance of reportable noncompliance related to provisions of applicable laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Office of Inspector General conducted this audit to determine whether the EPA has sufficient controls over its grants management processes to monitor post-award performance of grants awarded with Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act funding in accordance with federal grant requirements and other related EPA policies.
Summary of Findings
The EPA did not have controls in place to ensure that its regional offices are monitoring post-award performance of grants through required post-award monitoring plans and regular monitoring reviews. In addition, the regional offices did not always complete their baseline monitoring reports. Finally, of the 40 grant files we reviewed, 39 were not maintained in accordance with regional policy.
