Unauthorized Use of the Solar-Energy Funds
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:6270741
The more than $6 million provided to the Department of Energy by Congress for the installation of solar devices in federal buildings, but used instead for a number of other projects is discussed. The changes were not reported to the Controller, OMB, or the appropriate congressional committees, as required by DOE reprogramming instructions and applicable congressional guidelines. Two programs are affected by the Solar Energy Office's general practice of taxing its various program-approved budgets and using the funds for other purposes. From a continuing review of the practice, IG procedures are established to ensure that reprogramming plans are reported to the Controller, and that the Controller review his controls to ensure that funds are expended for the intended purpose. Issuance in final form of the existing DOE draft order on this subject was also recommended. (PSB)
