Park Superintendent Deposited Donated Funds into a Personal Bank Account

The OIG investigated allegations that a National Park Service (NPS) superintendent mismanaged donated funds by depositing them into his personal checking account.We found that the superintendent violated Federal law and NPS policy when he deposited $500 donated yearly to the park into his personal checking account as a means to manage the funds. At the time of the deposits, the superintendent was not aware that he was prohibited from doing so. We did not find any evidence that the superintendent misused any of the donated funds.
