Verification Review of Recommendations for the Report Titled “Controls over Check Writing” (C-EV-MOA-0009-2011)

We completed a verification review of Recommendations 1 and 2 presented in our October 2012 evaluation report titled “Controls over Check Writing” (C-EV-MOA-0009-2011). Our objective was to determine whether the U.S. Department of the Interior and its bureaus had taken sufficient action to implement the recommendations as reported to the Office of Financial Management (PFM), Office of Policy, Management and Budget. The PFM reported to us that it closed the recommendations, and we agree that Recommendation 1 is resolved and implemented; based on our review, however, we conclude that Recommendation 2 should be reopened for implementation and tracking.
