A former ticket agent who was assigned to Los Angeles Union Station pleaded guilty to felony charges for theft of funds in U.S. District Court on February 25, 2019. Our investigation determined that the former ticket agent would wait until train conductors electronically scanned passenger tickets and would then reset the ticket status as if it had not been scanned at all. This process of resetting the ticket status allowed the tickets to be refunded or exchanged. Subsequently, the former ticket agent processed the reset tickets for cash refunds, taking and keeping the money from her cash drawer.As part of her plea agreement, the former ticket agent was selected for the Conviction and Sentence Alternatives program of the Central District of California. She will be required to pay $3,616 in restitution, $700 for a special assessment, and successfully complete the year-long program prior to her sentencing.As the result of our investigation into this scheme, five other ticket agents resigned prior to their administrative hearings.

Although the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Resolved Nearly All Audit Recommendations, It Did Not Always Do So in Accordance With Federal Timeframe Requirements
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), did not always resolve audit recommendations in a timely manner during Federal fiscal years (FYs) 2015 and 2016. Specifically, CDC resolved 855 of the 888 audit recommendations that were outstanding during FYs 2015 and 2016. However, it did not resolve 827 of the 855 recommendations (96.7 percent) within the required 6-month resolution period. In addition, as of September 30, 2016, CDC had not resolved 33 audit recommendations that were past due for resolution. Some of the past-due recommendations had associated dollar amounts that totaled $140,946; others of the past-due recommendations were procedural in nature and involved policies and procedures and internal controls.
