Federal Reports

The report summarizes the FTC OIG’s activities and accomplishments during the second half of the FY 2018 reporting period.

The TVA Office of the Inspector General (OIG) meets a legal requirement to report to Congress on the office's results twice a year through its Semiannual Report to Congress (SAR). In this semiannual period, the TVA OIG audit, evaluation and investigative work identified approximately $64 million in funds TVA could put to better use, questioned costs, and recoveries and savings.

During the semiannual reporting period, we continued our efforts to increase the productivity and value of OIG work through strategic planning and partnering efforts with NEA leadership and staff. We received and addressed 18 hotline complaints, primarily enabling us to help citizens avoid scams by individuals fraudulently representing themselves as NEA employees. Furthermore, we issued audit reports with $777,351 in questioned cost and 23 recommendations to improve awards management. Through our audit follow-up process, we continuously collaborate with NEA managers to clear open recommendations to improve stewardship of NEA funds by awardees.Finally, as required by the Consolidated Reports Act of 2000 and Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-136, Financial Reporting Requirements, we worked with NEA officials to prepare a list of management challenges that NEA faces. The challenge areas include financial management, human capital, information technology, administrative services, and awardee accountability. A summary of the challenges and the continuous improvement and plans the NEA has made to address the challenges are included in this report.

EAC OIG, through the independent public accounting firm of Brown & Company CPAs, conducted this audit to assess EAC's compliance with the Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA) and related information security policies, procedures, standards, and guidelines for fiscal year 2018.
