In accordance with the Reports Consolidation Act of 2000, the Federal Election Commission (i.e., the “FEC” or “Commission”) Office of Inspector General (OIG) identifies the most serious management and performance challenges facing the Commission and provides a brief assessment of the Commission’s progress in addressing those challenges. By statute this report is required to be included in the FEC’s Agency Financial Report.

Following the 2008 ash spill at Kingston Fossil Plant, TVA’s Office of Inspector General, in conjunction with Marshall Miller & Associates (engineering consultant), performed an inspection that determined there was poor maintenance of coal combustion residual storage facilities, such as not addressing erosion, standing water, and piping issues. Additionally, the inspection found there was no formalized training for personnel who inspected the dikes. Due to past issues identified related to maintenance of coal combustion residual (CCR) storage facilities, we performed an evaluation of required maintenance at TVA’s CCR storage facilities. The objective of the evaluation was to determine if TVA performed required maintenance of CCR storage facilities. The scope of the evaluation was maintenance needs identified during required inspections in fiscal years 2018 and 2019 at Bull Run, John Sevier, and Paradise Fossil Plants. We determined, in general, TVA performed required inspections and completed maintenance to address issues identified during the inspections. However, we determined some inspection reports had incorrect or missing information. We also identified opportunities for improvement related to policies for maintenance and inspection of coal CCR storage facilities, inspection plan requirements, and training requirements.

EAC OIG, through the independent public accounting firm of Brown & Company CPAs, PLLC, audited EAC’s financial statements for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2020, and September 30, 2019.

This audit report is the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) Office of the Inspector General’s (OIG) independent evaluation of the effectiveness of the NCUA's information security program and practices for fiscal year 2020. The OIG engaged CliftonLarsonAllen LLP (CLA) to perform this evaluation. The contract required that this evaluation be performed in conformance with generally accepted government auditing standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. The OIG monitored CLA’s performance under this contract. This report summarizes the results of CLA’s independent evaluation and contains two recommendations that will assist the agency in improving the effectiveness of its information security and its privacy programs and practices. NCUA management concurred with and has planned corrective actions to address the recommendations.

Our objective was to report internal control weaknesses, noncompliance issues, and unallowable costs identified in the single audit to the Social Security Administration (SSA) for resolution action.
