Summary Report on Significant Single Audit Findings Impacting DOT Programs for the 3-Month Period Ending August 31, 2019
Project ID:
SA2020001
What We Looked At
We queried and downloaded 81 single audit reports prepared by non-Federal auditors and submitted to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse between June 1, 2019 and August 31, 2019, to identify significant findings related to programs directly funded by the Department of Transportation (DOT).
What We Found
We found that reports contained a range of findings that affected DOT programs. The auditors reported significant noncompliance with Federal guidelines related to 11 grantees that require prompt action from DOT’s Operating Administrations (OA). The auditors also identified questioned costs totaling $1,005,222 for three grantees.
Recommendations
We recommend that DOT coordinate with the impacted OAs to develop a corrective action plan to resolve and close the findings identified in this report. We also recommend that DOT determine the allowability of the questioned transactions and recover $1,005,222, if applicable.
