Federal Personnel Should Be Better Informed of How Undesigned Contributions to the Combined Federal Campaign Will Be Distributed.

Abstract

Under current Office of Personnel Management (OPM) regulations, one group of charities in each campaign is selected by local federal officials to administer the fund raising activities and severe as fiscal agent. OPM has given this group the sole authority to distribute to itself and other competing charities all contributes not designated. A major drawback of this method is that it creates the appearance of, if not an actual, conflict of interest. Devising a process for distributing undesignated funds that would be satisfactory to all parties involved may not be possible. However, GAO believes federal personnel need sufficient information to make informed decisions on whether to designate or not designate their contributions. Therefore, GAO recommends actions OPM should take to fully disclose to contributors how undesignated contributions will be distributed.
