Management Controls over the Bonneville Power Administration's Personal Property Accountability

Bonneville Power Administration (Bonneville) did not have effective controls over its personal property tracked through the Sunflower system. Specifically, we found that (1) equipment susceptible to loss or theft was not always entered into accountability; (2) inventory location information was not always accurate; (3) the existence of personal property items was not always validated when being transferred from one custodian to another; and, (4) inconsistencies in records regarding lost or stolen property were not reconciled.
