Records Submitted to ONRR Were Not Altered

The OIG investigated an allegation that altered records were submitted to the Office of Natural Resources Revenue (ONRR). The records were submitted to ONRR by a third-party consultant on behalf of their client, a company operating Federal mineral leases, during an audit of royalty refund requests. We found no evidence that records were altered. The information in the client’s official files matched the record the consultant provided to ONRR.
