Company Improperly Billed Hours to National Fish and Wildlife Foundation Grant Overseen by the DOI

Report Number
20-0431

The OIG investigated an allegation that a company improperly billed hours in late 2018 and early 2019 to a grant it received from the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF) to manage Hurricane Sandy coastal resiliency projects. We determined that five employees of the company recorded 561.75 labor hours to the NFWF grant when, in fact, they worked on a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration contract. We learned that the company corrected the improper billing and took administrative action against four employees before we initiated our investigation.
