In addition, our investigations of fraudulent or questionable workers' compensation claims identified potential long-term savings to TVA of over $2.3 million.As are our counterparts in other agencies, we find ourselves increasingly challenged to produce excellent results in the face of a diminished workforce and decreasing resources.

As always, the men and women of the OIG will work together to meet new challenges as they continue to serve as an effective and objective factfinder.Sincerely, George T. Prosser
