Pursuit's Take
SBA did not always ensure local, domestic, and international travel authorizations and vouchers complied with Federal and SBA travel regulations. For 10 out of 40 TDY trips (25 percent), we found that critical elements were not approved before travel began, as required. We found that another subset of authorizations or vouchers were not approved by the appropriate officials for 9 out of 40 of trips reviewed (23 percent).
