I am pleased to submit our Semiannual Report to the U.S. Congress, summarizing the work and
accomplishments of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), Office of Inspector
General (OIG) from October 1, 2022, to March 31, 2023.
The Office of Inspector General contracted with the certified public accounting firm of Harper, Rains, Knight & Company, P.A. (HRK) to conduct an independent evaluation of EEOC's compliance with PIIA for FY2022. HRK determined EEOC was not compliant with PIIA annual reporting consistent with Appendix C of OMB Circulars A-123 and A-136. The Evaluation Report includes three recommendations.
To ensure that corrective action on our findings and recommendations proceed as rapidly as possible, the Office of Management and Budget issued Circular Number A-50, Audit Follow-up. EEOC Order 192.002, Audit Follow-Up Program, implements Circular Number A-50 and requires that for resolved recommendations, a corrective action work plan should be submitted within 30 days of the final audit report date describing specific tasks and completion dates necessary to implement audit recommendations. Circular Number A-50 requires prompt resolution and corrective action on audit recommendations within six months of final report issuance.
Please reach out to your agency's Office of Inspector General to report fraud, waste, abuse, and mismanagement. If you need your OIG's contact information, please visit https://ignet.gov.
In 2022, the EEOC Office of Inspector General (OIG) procured the services of KAI Partners, Inc. (KAIP) to perform an evaluation of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission’s (EEOC) Digital Process Transformation and Automation (DPTA) progress, with an emphasis on evaluating EEOC’s DPTA plans, capabilities, and requirements. DPTA is the digitization and automation of business processes to improve effectiveness and efficiency to continually enhance the customer experience.
Oversight.gov now has an updated feature for assigning priority recommendation status which is separate from significant recommendations. The Council of Inspectors General for Integrity and Efficiency asked OIGs to identify 3 recommendations as their priority recommendations.
This document explains the operations of the Office of Inspector General.
We determined EEO established and maintained a consistently implemented information security program and practices, consistent with applicable FISMA requirements, OMB policy and guidance, DHS guidance, and NIST standards and guidance.
This semiannual report summarizes the OIG's activities and accomplishments for April 1, 2022,
through September 30, 2022. The OIG issued one inspection and one information security metrics
review. The Office of Inspector General received 1,256 investigative contacts between April 1,
2022, and September 30, 2022.
In accordance with the Accountability of Tax Dollars Act (ATDA), we have audited the financial statements of the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). EEOC's financial statements comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2022, and 2021, and the related consolidated statements of net cost and changes in net position, and combined statements of budgetary resources for the fiscal years then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements.
In our opinion, EEOC's financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, EEOC's financial position as of September 30, 2022, and 2021, and its net cost of operations, changes in net position, and budgetary resources for the fiscal years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
