We audited the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD) fiscal year 2018 compliance with the Improper Payments Elimination and Recovery Act of 2010 (IPERA). Our audit objective was to determine whether HUD complied with IPERA reporting and improper payment reduction requirements according to guidance from Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-123, appendix C.Fiscal year 2018 marked the sixth consecutive year in which HUD did not comply with IPERA. In 2018, HUD complied with three of the six IPERA requirements, did not comply with two requirements, and one requirement was not applicable. Specifically, HUD did not always (1) publish improper payment estimates for all required programs and (2) report an improper payment rate of less than 10 percent. These conditions occurred because HUD was continuing to revamp its program to address many of the prior-year IPERA compliance issues.New recommendations were not made because prior-year audit recommendations that remain open will help HUD remediate repeat findings identified in this year’s report if implemented.
We were engaged by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission ("EEOC"), Office of Inspector General ("OIG"), to conduct a performance audit of the EEOC charge card program, which includes both purchase and travel cards. EEOC uses purchase cards to reduce the administrative cost of processing small dollar purchases and travel cards to reduce the cost of official travel and for the convenience of the traveler.
This report summarizes findings on our latest round of unannounced inspections at four detention facilities housing ICE detainees. Because we observed immediate risks or egregious violations of detention standards at the Adelanto and Essex facilities, we issued individual reports to ICE after our visits to these two facilities and recommended ICE conduct a full review of the facilities to ensure compliance with ICE’s 2011 PBNDS. Overall, our inspections of the four detention facilities revealed violations of ICE’s detention standards and raised concerns about the environment in which detainees are held.
