Conclusion:
-
The Bureau of Mediation Services’ internal controls provided reasonable
assurance that its operating expenditures were accurately reported in the
accounting records and in compliance with applicable legal provisions and
management’s authorization. However, we identified a concern with
the Bureau’s administration of its Labor-Management Cooperative grants.
Finding:
- The Bureau did not administer its Labor-Management Cooperative grants in
compliance with applicable rules and grant agreement requirements.
| The audit report contained one audit finding
relating to legal compliance. The prior audit report did not
contain any audit findings. |
