Department of State Implemented Approximately Half of the Recommendations from SIGAR Audits and Inspections but Did Not Meet All Audit Follow- Up Requirements

Abstract

SIGARs oversight mission, as defined by Section 1229 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008, includes providing independent, objective recommendations to promote economy, efficiency, and effectiveness. This evaluation is a follow-up to SIGARs July 2014 report that examined the status of recommendations SIGAR made to the Department of State (State) in performance audits, financial audits, and inspections issued between January 2008 and March 2014. This evaluation provides information on the status of SIGAR recommendations made to State from April 2014 through April 2020. The objectives of this evaluation were to (1) analyze the number and status of recommendations, categorize each recommendation by intended outcome, and identify any program improvements or actions to recover questioned costs; and (2) assess States system for tracking SIGARs recommendations and the extent to which State took action to resolve open recommendations within the required period.
