This is the first Semiannual Report to Congress by the Secretary of the Department of Energy to be submitted under the Inspector General Act of 1978, as amended. Pursuant to the Inspector General Act Amendments of 1988 (Public Law 100-504), agency heads are to report to Congress on the status of final action taken on audit report recommendations. This report is complemented by a report prepared by the Department's Office of Inspector General (IG), which provides information on audit reports issued during the period and on the status of management decisions made on IG audit reports. During the time period covered by this report, from April 1 to September 30, 1989, the Department took final action on 30 contract and financial assistance audit reports and recovered $9.6 million of the $9.7 million in associated disallowed costs. This represents a 99 percent recovery rate. At the end of the period, there were only six reports pending final action. With regard to operational, financial, and preaward audits, the Department made management decisions on 34 reports and took final action on 37 reports. There were 68 audit reports requiring final action at the end of the reporting period.
