The Department's Audit Resolution Process

At the Department of Energy, as with all government agencies, correcting internal control weaknesses is essential to improving the effectiveness and efficiency of activities. Over the past several years, the Office of Inspector General and the U.S. General Accounting Office have issued a number of findings and recommendations addressing numerous aspects of the Department's programs, operations, and management functions. In many cases, the Department concurred with the findings and took or is in the process of taking corrective actions to resolve problems or improve the efficiency of its operations.
