Description
This semiannual report to congress highlights our activities and accomplishments from October 1, 1991 to March 31, 1992.This has been an eventful six months for the Office of the Inspector General (OIG). During this reporting period we completed 226 investigations and issued 38 audit reports identifying over $21.4 million in questioned costs and about $58.2million in funds that could be put to better use. In addition, our investigation of fraudulent workers' compensation claims revealed overpayments of more than $777,000 and avoided an estimated $7.5 million in long--term costs.This is the twelfth Inspector General's letter I have written. It is the most difficult one I have had to write because it marks the end of my tenure in the OIG. As I look back on the history of this office-from its inception in 1986 until today - I am proud of the way the OIG's men and women have professionally gone about their work and contributed to TVA. Their willingness to work long hours and their skill and dedication will continue to make a difference. These men and women are the heart and soul of this office and make possible the results documented in this report.It has been a rare privilege to serve as TVA's first Inspector General. I will never forget the support I received from the TVA Board of Directors, TVA managers and employees, and our many friends in Congress. This support is a critical contributor to the office's success, and I believe the OIG will continue to justify this trust by being a fair and objective fact finder and by following the facts wherever they may lead. This support, coupled with the dedication of our staff, will propel this office to future successes long after my departure.Sincerely,Norman A. Zigrossi
