AUDITS & EVALUATIONS

Under the Inspector General Act of 1978, as amended, OIG is authorized to carry out various reviews to "promote economy, efficiency, and effectiveness in the administration of, and ... prevent and detect fraud and abuse in ... [TVA's] programs and operations." 

As part of our mission, we conduct reviews that rely on input from employees, management officials, and affected departmental programs and operations. The findings from our audits, investigations, and evaluations help TVA improve its programs and operations as well as prevent or detect fraud, waste, or abuse.

Key Focus Areas

The Contract Audits department performs contract compliance audits, contract preaward attestation examinations, contracting process (performance) reviews, and provides assistance to our Investigations unit.

The Audit / Evaluation Process

The entrance conference is a meeting between the audit / evaluation team and the responsible TVA personnel (and when applicable, contractor personnel) after the scheduling memorandum (letter) has been sent. The review team explains the purpose of the audit / evaluation (objectives), the areas to be reviewed during the review (scope), and the estimated date the review will be complete (timing).
