The Office of Special Counsel (OSC) completed an investigation based on a referral from the Federal Election Commission (FEC) Office of Inspector General (OIG). On January 31, 2019, the FEC OIG received an anonymous hotline complaint that alleged prohibited personnel practices (i.e., nepotism) on the part of a senior FEC employee.
The objective of this review was to identify specific gaps in transparency in award data for federal assistance spending in response to COVID-19. We looked at 51,000 awards worth $347 billion that supported the pandemic response (as of June 15, 2021). The report includes three findings, including we found more than 15,400 awards worth $33 billion with meaningless descriptions that make it difficult to know how COVID-19 relief money was used. The report includes five recommendations to help improve the transparency into COVID-19 relief spending.
