Management Advisory – Issues Identified During Our Audit of Grant No. P13AF00113 Between the National Park Service and the Connecticut Department of Economic and Community Development

Report Number
2017-FIN-032-A

During an audit of the costs claimed by the State of Connecticut’s Department of Economic and Community Development (DECD) on Grant No. P13AF00113 with the National Park Service (NPS), we found several issues with NPS oversight over the DECD’s performance. Specifically, the NPS did not: • Clearly define administrative costs when monitoring expenses • Properly review the Federal Financial Reports (SF-425s) • Document or communicate major funding changes to Congress In this management advisory, we make three recommendations to the NPS to resolve these issues.

NPS Employee Violated Purchasing Rules

OIG investigated transaction irregularities on a Department of the Interior purchase card assigned to an employee at Nez Perce National Historic Park, National Park Service (NPS). The questionable purchases included a $17,000 charge at a pawn shop, two tuition payments at a local university, and purchases that appeared to have been structured to circumvent the micro purchase limit. We confirmed that the employee purchased art for the park museum from a pawn shop for $17,000 and, at the direction of a supervisor, made tuition payments for other employees on the DOI purchase card.
