Why We Did This Review
We performed this audit pursuant to
the Hazardous Waste Electronic
Manifest Establishment Act. The act
requires the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) to prepare,
and the Office of Inspector General
(OIG) to audit, the Hazardous
Waste Electronic Manifest System
Fund financial statements each
year. Our primary objectives were to
determine whether:
•	The financial statements were
fairly stated in all material
respects.
•	The EPA's internal controls over
financial reporting were in place.
•	EPA management complied with
applicable laws and regulations.
The e-Manifest system is being
designed to create a means to track
off-site shipments of hazardous
waste from a generator's site to the
site of the receipt, and disposition of
the hazardous waste.
This report addresses the
following EPA goal or
cross-agency strategy:
•	Embracing EPA as a high-
performing organization.
