Implementation and Reporting of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009: Government Controls Over Selected Near Term Energy-Efficient Technologies Projects Were Generally Effective
Abstract
The primary objective of this audit was to determine whether DoD and its Components were implementing the Recovery Act. Specifically, for the six selected NTEET projects, we evaluated the effectiveness of Government controls over contractor performance, recipient reporting, and contracts awarded to qualified small businesses. The Attachment includes a description of the six NTEET projects reviewed and a summary of our review of applicable controls for each project. Government controls for the NTEET projects for contractor performance, recipient reporting, and contracts awarded to small businesses were generally effective. Generally, contracting officials for the six selected NTEET projects monitored contractor performance and recipient reporting in accordance with the Recovery Act and Office of Management and Budget (OMB) guidance. Contracting officials identified some deficiencies in the contractor's recipient reporting and took corrective action to improve transparency by publishing information on the 2 appropriate public Government Web sites. Army and Air Force contracting officials ensured that small businesses self-certified in accordance with the appropriate laws and regulations.
