Audit Report AUDIT OF DNFSBS IMPLEMENTATION OF ITS GOVERNING LEGISLATION DNFSB-18-A-05 Status of Recommendations Recommendation 1: Develop and implement agency guidance for issuing reporting requirements.

Agency Response Dated June 27, 2018: Agree. The Acting Chairman will direct the Technical Director to conduct an evaluation of current internal guidance to technical staff on proposing reporting requirements and formally requesting documents from DOE by January 2019, and as necessary, develop or revise the guidance by April 2019.

OIG Analysis: OIG did not recommend conducting an evaluation. The proposed action meets the intent of the recommendation as long as the agency develops guidance or revises current guidance. This recommendation will be closed when OIG receives the agency guidance and determines that it contains reporting requirements and includes how to formally request documents from DOE.

Status: Resolved.
