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

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.
