Internal Controls

EPA Needs To Improve Controls Over Change Orders and Claims Gao ID: RCED-88-16 November 17, 1987

GAO provided information on the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) internal controls over its Construction Grants Program and the actions taken to correct three grants management weaknesses that GAO identified.

GAO found that, while EPA has alleviated three identified grants management weaknesses: (1) many of the change orders and claims that GAO reviewed had missing or incomplete documentation; (2) reviewing agencies misinterpreted and inconsistently applied EPA guidance; and (3) EPA was not monitoring the reviewing agencies.
