Fiscal Year 2015 Federal Information Security Modernization Act Report: Status of CSB’s Information Security Program
The effectiveness of the CSB’s information security program is challenged by its lack of personal identity verification cards for logical access, complete system inventory, and documented policies and procedures for specialized security training.
The OIG audited costs billed to the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) by URS Energy and Construction, Inc. (URS), under contract numbers 66777 and 72142. The audit included approximately $113.6 million in costs URS billed to TVA from January 1, 2012, to November 26, 2013.The OIG determined URS may have overbilled TVA $6,885,835 in shared cost savings and $317,852 for a completion bonus, due to potential misrepresentations in estimated material costs included in the Target Cost Estimate for the John Sevier Combined Cycle project. In addition, we determined URS overbilled TVA $1,205,758, including: (1) $378,212 in overbilled temporary assignment costs, (2) $325,876 in other direct costs, (3) $439,189 in labor costs, (4) $55,390 in markup costs, and (5) $7,091 in travel costs. URS issued credits and refunds to TVA during the course of our audit, which reduced the amount to be recovered by $76,745.(Summary Only)
