Physicians receiving these waivers must practice for at least three years in rural Appalachian areas that suffer significant shortages of health care providers

This, our 25th semiannual report, describes the accomplishments of our office for the six-month period ending September 30, 1998.During this reporting period, we completed 27 audits which identified almost $1.8 million in questioned costs and more than $200,000 in funds that could be used more effectively. Our auditors conducted performance reviews of TVA operations and contract preaward and compliance audits. We also conducted 11 special projects, which identified over $14.7 million in potential savings.Our investigations group completed 81 investigations, substantiating allegations in over 34 percent of the cases we investigated. During this reporting period, our investigations resulted in over $3.6 million in savings and recoveries, five subjects indicted, and nine subjects convicted. Further, as a result of our investigations of alleged misconduct, administrative and disciplinary action was taken against 22 individuals, and management took additional corrective action in 8 cases.During this reporting period, I noted with interest the congressional hearings on the Inspector General Act. Those hearings illustrated the continuing needs for Inspectors General, and the significant results we are achieving. Congress’ foresight in creating Inspectors General has provided lasting benefits to the federal government, including TVA. I am proud of the accomplishments of the Inspector General community and look forward to continuing our work as we move into the next century.Sincerely,George T. Prosser

This semiannual report describes the accomplishments of our office for the six-month period ending March 31, 1998.During this reporting period, we completed 30 audits which identified almost $1.2 million in questioned costs and more than $2.3million in funds that could be used more effectively. Our auditors conducted performance reviews of TVA operations and contract preaward and compliance audits. Contract-related audits included audits of a watershed development agency and a regional procurement assistance group. We also conducted 13 special projects, which identified over $840,000 in savings.Our investigations group completed 74 investigations, substantiating allegations in over 39 percent of the cases we investigated. During this reporting period, our investigations resulted in over $1.5 million in savings and recoveries, two subjects indicted, and six subjects convicted. Further, as a result of our investigations of alleged misconduct, administrative action was taken against 12 individuals.When the Inspector General Act was enacted during 1978, Congress stressed the need for independent oversight to reduce fraud, waste, and abuse affecting the federal government. The environment in which the government operates today is vastly different from that of 1978, with diminished resources and increasingly difficult challenges and demands. Yet, 20 years later, a need remains for Inspectors General to maintain their independence while, as appropriate, working collaboratively with entities inside and outside of their agencies. Through cooperative efforts, we are able to stretch our dollars, draw upon the expertise of others while sharing our experience, and help TVA meet its goals while continuing our independent oversight role.Sincerely, George T. Prosser

Semiannual Report to Congress

The Reports Consolidation Act of 2000 requires we provide you with our perspective on the most serious management and performance challenges facing the Commission

This semiannual report describes accomplishments of our office for the six-month period ending September 30, 1997.During this reporting period, we completed 30 audits which identified $552,000 in questioned costs and more than $10.5 million in funds that could be used more effectively. Our auditors emphasized contract issues while also examining topics as diverse as TVA's efforts at eliminating potentially hazardous chemicals from electrical equipment and TVA's protection of sensitive information contained in its Integrated Business System. We also conducted 24 special projects, typically at the request of management, which identified or realized cost savings totaling about $5.7 million.Our investigations group completed 77 investigations, substantiating allegations in almost 25 percent of the cases we investigated. During this reporting period, our investigations resulted in $480,951 in potential or actual recoveries, 7 indictments, and 3 convictions. Further, as a result of our investigations of alleged misconduct, 3 TVA employees resigned and administrative action was taken against 11 others.This, our eleventh year of service to TVA. has been marked by our continuing efforts to find ways TVA can save and spend money more wisely and to identify fraud and abuse affecting the agency. With sadness, we mourn the passing of Fred P. Vichich, an OIG charter member who joined the OIG as a special agent after serving in that capacity with the FBI for 12 years. Fred, who was responsible for many of the OIG's successes prior to his recent retirement, was eulogized as dedicated to his family, work, and friends. Wewill remember Fred as we persevere in supporting TVA's goals and maintain our dedication to hard work, integrity, and getting results.Sincerely, George T. Prosser
