What We Looked AtWe performed a quality control review (QCR) on the single audit that CliftonLarsonAllen LLP (CLA) performed for the Valley Metro Regional Public Transportation Authority's (Authority) fiscal year that ended June 30, 2018. During this period, the Authority expended approximately $51 million from the U.S. Department of Transportation's (DOT) grant programs. CLA determined that DOT's major program was the Federal Transit Cluster.Our QCR objectives were to determine (1) whether the audit work complied with the Single Audit Act of 1984, as amended, and the Office of Management and Budget's Uniform Guidance, and the extent to which we could rely on the auditors' work on DOT's major program; and (2) whether the Authority's reporting package complied with the reporting requirements of the Uniform Guidance.What We FoundCLA's audit work complied with the requirements of the Single Audit Act, the Uniform Guidance, and DOT's major program. We found nothing to indicate that CLA's opinion on DOT's major program was inappropriate or unreliable. We did not identify any deficiencies in the Authority's reporting package that required correction and resubmission.
NIH awards more than 70 percent of its $37 billion budget to universities and other extramural grantee institutions (institutions). Identifying and managing investigators' financial conflicts of interest (financial conflicts) is critical to safeguarding the integrity of NIH-funded research. In 2008, OIG identified serious gaps in NIH's oversight of investigators' financial conflicts. More recently, failures by some investigators to disclose substantial contributions of resources from other organizations-including foreign governments-have raised new concerns about threats to research integrity. This report focuses on the need for robust oversight, follows up on OIG's prior work, and seeks to determine whether NIH has addressed the gaps that OIG previously identified in the oversight of investigators' financial conflicts. It also provides-for the first time-information about the total number and types of financial conflicts that institutions are reporting to NIH.
