This report summarizes work we initiated and completed during this semiannual period on a number of critical departmental activities. Over the past 6 months, our office issued 11 audit and evaluation reports addressing programs overseen by the Economics and Statistics Administration, International Trade Administration, National Institute of Standards and Technology, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, National Telecommunications and Information Administration, United States Patent and Trademark Office, and the Department itself.
During the recent semiannual period, the OIG issued six reports which contained twenty four recommendations based on audits and evaluations performed by OIG personnel. Ten recommendationsrelated to NEA grantees were cleared during this reporting period. We also issued four memoranda to the agency related to NEA grantees which contained four recommendations, all of which the agency implemented. The annual financial statement and FISMA audits are in process and will be completed by their November, 2012 deadlines.
