Report Information

Date Issued
Report Number
2020-15762-01
Report Type
Inspection / Evaluation
Description
The Office of the Inspector General conducted a review of the Commercial Energy Solutions Pricing, Structuring, Analysis/Contracts (P&C) organization to identify factors that could impact P&Cs organizational effectiveness. During the course of our evaluation, we identified behaviors that had a positive impact on P&C. These included positive interactions with management and team members. However, we also identified behavioral risks in two groups related to accountability and reporting concerns or offering a differing opinion with management. In addition, we identified risks to operations that could hinder P&C’s effectiveness. These risks were related to effective collaboration with business partners and resource needs in the organization.
