Compendium of Unimplemented Recommendations as of September 30, 2012 (e-book) (used book) | bookbook.eu

Description

Recommendations are issued by EPA's OIG to improve the economy, efficiency, effectiveness, or integrity of EPA programs and operations. Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-50, Audit Followup, dated September 29, 1982, affirms that corrective action taken by management on resolved findings and recommendations is essential for improving the effectiveness and efficiency of government operations, and that audit follow-up is a shared responsibility of agency management officials and auditors. OMB Circular A-50 requires each agency to ensure that systems are in place for the prompt and proper resolution and implementation of audit recommendations. EPA Manual 2750, based in part on OMB Circular A-50, details EPA's audit management procedures. The Chief Financial Officer is the Agency Audit Follow-Up Official and has responsibility for Agency-wide audit resolution and ensuring action officials implement corrective actions. EPA uses the Management Audit Tracking System (MATS) to track information on Agency implementation of OIG recommendations. The Office of the Chief Financial Officer maintains and operates MATS. Report data, such as the title, issue date, and recommendations, are downloaded into MATS from the Inspector General Enterprise Management System.
