T; - KC .N 2 Decputy7 Assistan-L Secre-iary for muslOBesB Administration and Management Department of Labor Dear Mr. Knuzes: The General Accounting Office has made a survey of Department of Labor's audit activities carried out by the Office of Contract and Grant Audit. Our work was performed during 1972 primarily at Region III - Philadelphia with limited work being performed at Departmental Headquarters in Washington, D.C. Because of other higher priority work we had to discontinue our- survey and do not plan further work in this area at this time. However, we would like to bring your attention to certain observa- tions noted during our survey which we believe affect the audit activity. -Apparently due to limited staff, the Regional Audit Office did not generally examine into such areas as, the equity of charges for overhead costs, the validity and reason- ableness of in-kind contributions, program effective- ness, or contract monitoring activity. In addition, these areas were generally not being covered by public accoun- tants performing audits for the Department. --Reports prepared by the public accountants had remained in the Regional Audit Office from 5 to 14 months before being reviewed and forwarded to the Man~power Administra- tion for appropriate action. --The Regional Audit'Office did not have sufficient data for selecting representative contracts or grants for audit. Also, even if this data was available, there was no defini- tive criteria for making a random sampling to ensure that representative contracts and grants received adequate coverage. L 111110
