This Office of Inspector General Semiannual Report to the Congress covers the period from April 1 through September 30, 1993. The report summarizes significant audit, inspection and investigative accomplishments for the reporting period, a large portion of which evaluated management controls that the Department of Energy uses to ensure efficient and effective operation of its programs. During this reporting period, the Office of Inspector General issued 67 audit and 6 inspection reports. As a result of reviews of contract costs, the Office of Inspector General determined that $3.7 million in costs were either questionable or unsupported. Management committed to taking corrective actions which the Office of Inspector General estimates will result in a more efficient use of funds totaling $32.6 million. For reports issued during the period, the Office of Inspector General made recommendations that, when implemented by management, could result in $38.6 million being put to better use. The Office of Inspector General`s investigations led to 8 criminal convictions, 39 case referrals to management for corrective action, and 17 administrative disciplinary actions. The investigations resulted in fines and recoveries of $2,572,627.
