As the operator of the Department's Savannah River Site, Westinghouse Savannah River Company (Westinghouse) receives three types of fees: (1) award fees commensurate with the overall performance rating, (2) Performance Based Incentive (PBI) fees for achieving measurable goals or defined tasks as specified in annual operating plans, and (3) Cost Reduction Incentive Program (CRIP) fees for making improvements in site operations that reduce total contract costs. The Department's Contracting Officer notifies Westinghouse when fees are earned, and Westinghouse withdraws the authorized amounts from the Department's letter-of-credit account. The audit objective was to determine whether Westinghouse withdrew the appropriate amount of fees from the letter-of-credit account in Fiscal Years (FY) 1997 and 1998.

The Government Management Reform Act of 1994 requires that the Department of Energy (DOE) annually submit audited financial statements to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). A DOE-wide audit was conducted to determine whether there was reasonable assurance that DOE's consolidated Fiscal Year (FY) 1998 financial statements were free of material misstatements. We conducted a portion of the DOE-wide audit at the Albuquerque Operations Office (Albuquerque) and its management and operating contractors. The audit at Albuquerque and its contractors disclosed deficiencies, as of September 30, 1998, in the property, liability, and receivable accounts. In addition, the audit disclosed unconfirmed unpaid obligations and differences with the amount of funds on hand reported by the Department of Treasury (Treasury). Finally, Albuquerque had not completed corrective actions on prior findings related to nuclear materials, reimbursable work, delinquent receivables, and grant reconciliations.
