Report Description

The Office of the Inspector General (OIG) conducted an inspection of GPO’s Electronic Waste (e-waste) Processes and Procedures to evaluate and e-waste accounting, sanitization, and disposal. We found that GPO has sufficient e-waste accounting policies. However, GPO can improve its oversight of e-waste disposal and accounting once assets are transferred to the contractor. In addition GPO can clarify e-waste related directives and procedures to alleviate confusion over sanitization procedures. Management provided comments and concurred with the finding and recommendations.
