EPA OIG: CSB Needs to Continue to Improve Agency Governance and Operations

May 1, 2016

Pursuit's Take

CSB is not following federal or agency internal control guidance or required federal regulations. CSB did not:

  •   Prepare quorum session summaries on time (written summaries of briefings or informal discussions with three or fewer board members).
  •   Post four of nine public meeting transcripts in a timely fashion on the CSB website.
  • Create internal guidance over its annual operating budget process.
  •   Have documentation supporting its decisions to award contracts (written agreements enforceable by law) for legal services after making micro- purchases (purchases with a government credit card), and to lease public building space.

The lack of internal guidance and implementation of controls puts CSB’s $11 million budget at risk.
