EPA Audit

ouch! How much time and money was expended related to EPA's PO#EP07H001074, valued at approximately $5,000?!?

I suppose the four month review, and resulting report had to be done based on the constituant's complaint to their Congressional representative, but if I were the CO or the CO's boss, I could have resolved this internally, and then sent a letter to the vendor, Congressman, and OIG as to the resolution.

#1. unfortunate that vendor did not get PO to know invoice/payment details

#2. incredibly sad all this extra effort had to be focused on this one action

I'm thinking the review and report easily cost the government between $15,000 - $20,000

just really hit me wrong when I read this Audit report on WIFCON

It's good info, though, especially for newbies
