           OVERVIEW OF AUDIT MANAGEMENT ACTIVITIES

      This Fall 1994 semiannual report on audits is submitted by EPA management in
response to the requirements of the Inspector General Act Amendments of 1988.  It
highlights significant audit management accomplishments and initiatives undertaken at
EPA and provides an overview of audit activity in the previous six-month period.

ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND INITIATIVES

      EPA has continued to enhance its system, first released in 1990, to track and
report on audit resolution and follow-up. In December 1992, the system was modified to
operate on a local area network.  Report capabilities were broadened and file transfer
was streamlined. The system is easy to use with data quality control edits built-in; and it
is connected to the Office of Inspector General database for data consistency.

                       ENHANCEMENTS TO AUDIT MANAGEMENT TRACKING
         1990          1991           1992          1993           1994           1995

      In January 1995, the Agency plans another release of the operating software.
Many suggestions and recommendations from the network of audit followup
coordinators are incorporated.  New features will include: greater flexibility for user-
defined reporting; first-time archiving capabilities; expanded on-screen help messages;
more efficient file transfer processing; new user-defined data elements; simplified report
selection; on-screen report viewing; and better tracking of performance audit follow-up.

      With this upcoming January release, EPA will sponsor national training for the
audit follow-up  coordinators to demonstrate the capabilities  of the improved system and
provide updated guidance on various audit management concepts.

OVERVIEW OF AUDIT ACTIVITY

>  Audit Reports With Final Action

      During the six-month period, April 1, 1994 through September 30, 1994, EPA
completed final action on 257 audits.  Of these, 180 were financial audits with
$56,301,275 disallowed costs recovered, 56 were preaward contract audits resulting in
$3,991,634 of funds reported as put to better use, and 21 were performance audits with
internal EPA corrective actions completed.

       Financial Audits - For the 180 financial assistance audit reports where EPA took
final action this period, the Office of the Inspector General questioned a total of $111.5
million.  After careful management review and agreement by the OIG, the Agency
disallowed $56.3 million. Of this, EPA recovered $46.9 million and reinstated or wrote
off $9.4 million.

   Reporting Period
Fall 94
      There are several reasons why questioned costs are significantly higher than the
disallowed costs. In many cases, the audited grantees or contractors provide additional
documentation to the Agency after the OIG has completed its audit.  This
documentation supports the allowability of the claimed costs. Second, EPA officials may
allow additional costs claimed by the grantee based on further clarification of the
grantee's activities as  they relate to the grant regulations.

      Prior to issuing the final determination letter to the grantee, Agency officials are
required to reach agreement with the OIG on the amount of disallowed costs associated
with the audit. It is this amount that the Agency then seeks to recover through an offset
against future payments to the grantee, a "cash" collection from the grantee, receipt of
property, or through other means determined appropriate by the Agency.  If efforts to
recover these funds are not successful, the Agency may deem the funds uncollectible and
write-off the amount(s).

      Preaward Audits - The Agency completed final action on 56 preaward contract
audits.  Of these, six audits resulted in $3,991,634 reported as put to better use.
Preaward contract audits evaluate whether the prospective cost or pricing data submitted
were current, accurate and complete.

-------
       Internal Performance Audits - The Agency completed corrective actions on 21
performance audits.  Many of these audits of internal management operations involved
complex issues and required extensive effort by the responsible office to remedy
deficiencies cited by the OIG. In some cases, EPA's corrective action plans are based
on the need for states or other entities to implement their own corrective actions.

»  Audit Reports With No Final Action After One Year

       In this semiannual period, there are 53 audits where an audit report has been
issued, management's response has been accepted by the OIG, but corrective actions are
incomplete after one year.  This represents a decrease of three audits from the last
reporting period.

      As illustrated by the chart below, the majority of audits reported this period with
corrective actions exceeding one year are internal performance audits of Agency
operations and external assistance agreement audits.

-------
         Overall, the reason that internal performance audits remain open one year after
  issuance of the management decision is that the majority have lengthy corrective action
  plans requiring extended time for full implementation and verification.  As for external
  grant audits, in most cases the Agency is awaiting monetary reimbursement from the
  grantee. Once the Agency collects the federal share of costs owed the government, EPA
  closes follow-up action on the audit.  The explanations for each of the audits taking the
  Agency more than one year to complete final action are listed in detail in Table 4 of this
  report.

  >  Audit Reports In Appeal

          During this reporting period, there are 137 management decisions on grant
  audits that are the subject of a formal administrative appeal. This is an increase of nine
  appealed management decisions over the last  reporting period.

        Management decisions for grant audits are often appealed by the grantee,
  requiring EPA to suspend final action.  EPA is expanding the capabilities of its audit
  tracking system to allow the Agency to better monitor the status of appealed
  management decisions and the results of these appeals.

INTERNAL AND MANAGEMENT AUDITS

Internal and management audits are independent reviews of Agency programs and operations to determine whether results
and objectives are achieved effectively, resources are management efficiently, and applicable laws and regulations are being
complied with properly. Final actions for an audit occur when all corrective actions have been implemented. Final action
may take longer than one year when corrective actions are complex and lengthy.
Report #0100206  USER CHARGE SYSTEM
Report Date: 03/28/90
Two of three commitments have been met ~ incorporated user system into the Municipal Wastewater Pollution
Prevention Program and pursued legislative changes.  The last commitment is to increase emphasis on financial
management reviews in NPDES inspections.  A training program is scheduled for early 1995.  The program office
expects to integrate this into inspections by the end of 1995.
Report #0100508  LEAD IN DRINKING WATER
Report Date: 09/28/90

Report #1100378  PESTICIDES INERTS
Report Date: 09/27/91
Corrective actions are underway. The final corrective actions now planned for 1999 are based on realistic projections
and resource availability.  Resolving legal issues relating to confidential business information being released to the
states has also stretched out the corrective action plan.

Report #1100422  DELAWARE BAY & INLAND BAYS Report Date: 09/26/91

The final outstanding corrective action on penalties is dependent upon the State Department of Natural Resources
and Environmental Conservation publishing new regulations. EPA has reviewed and commented on a draft regulation.
The revised completion date is 7/95.

Report #2100295  EPA MGT OF CSC CONTRACT     Report Date: 03/27/92

The close out of this audit is delayed because of a delay in DCAA completing its audit, and the negotiation of other
questioned costs is taking longer than expected because of the large volume of task orders. Completion is expected
on 4/1/95.

Report #2100591  EPA SYS. SOFTWARE INTEGRITY Report Date: 09/22/92

The program office believes that all actions are completed and has asked the OIG to review corrective actions to see
if they meet their expectations.  Final action is expected during the first quarter of FY 1995.

Report #2100641  PCIE TASK 1                      Report Date: 09/28/92

The remaining milestone for the Chapter 4 recommendation has been postponed from 3/30/95 to 10/30/95 with
validation planned for 12/30/95 to better fit with EPA's planning and budgeting cycles.

Report #2100660  SF FY 91 SF TRUST FUND         Report Date: 09/30/92

The last milestone — finishing Resources Management Directive System Chapter 2550 and completion of a Superfund
justification commitment memo — are expected by 12/94.

Report #2100661  REVIEW OF OCM GLP OPER      Report Date: 09/30/92

The timetable for completing all corrective actions has been affected by the Agency-wide reorganization of EPA's
enforcement and compliance program. Completion of final corrective actions is expected by mid-FY 1995.

Report #2400032  GLP AUDIT DC                    Report Date: 03/31/92

All issues have been addressed except for whether an accreditation program for Good Lab Practices (GLP) labs should
be part of the Agency-wide National Environmental Laboratory accreditation program. A decision on this issue is
expected in January 1995.

Report #2400056  WASTE TECH IND (C/I), OH       Report Date: 07/15/92

Delay in corrective actions was necessary because of  a decision to enhance the credibility of the risk assessment by
subjecting it to review by outside, expert scientists.

Report #2400065  PCB FOLLOW-UP DC              Report Date: 08/21/92

The inspection guidance manual is being rewritten to make it more user-friendly.  A workgroup composed of EPA
headquarters, regional and state representatives has been formed to do the rewriting.  This is expected to be completed
in early  1995.

EXTERNAL GRANT AUDITS

External grant audits are independent reviews of the records and performance of individual assistance recipients.  These
