FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT: Management Letter for the Audit of the Office of D.C. Pensions' Fiscal Year 2017 Financial Statements and Fiscal Year 2016 Balance Sheet
We found that FSA established policies and procedures related to the intake and discharge of borrower defense claims in 2015 and refined the claims intake policies and procedures throughout our review period. FSA also established policies and procedures related to reviewing borrower defense claims in April 2016 and introduced new policies and procedures throughout our review period. However, we identified weaknesses with FSA’s procedures for: (1) documenting the review and approval of legal memoranda establishing categories of borrower defense claims that qualified for discharge, (2) reviewing borrower defense claims, (3) processing claims approved for loan discharge and flagged for denial, and (4) establishing timeframes for claims intake, claims review, loan discharge, and claims denial processes and controls to ensure timeframes are met.
RESOURCE MANAGEMENT: Treasury’s Office of Budget and Travel Potentially Violated the Antideficiency Act and Needs to Improve Its Reimbursable Agreement Process
During our August 2017 site visit to the FLETC Artesia Training Center, we identified a potential safety issue at a warehouse, Building 13. The Border Patrol Academy had been using the warehouse to train new hires on search and conveyance. In 2009, a vehicle from an adjacent driving course struck the warehouse. FLETC officials could not provide documentation to support that an engineering evaluation was conducted to determine whether the accident affected the integrity of the warehouse structure. Border Patrol Academy officials also expressed safety concerns about using the warehouse to train new hires.
