Agency Deemed "Clean" By The DOT IG
For the seventh consecutive year the National Transportation
Safety Board's financial statements received an unqualified, or
"clean," opinion from the Department of Transportation Inspector
General.
The results are from an audit conducted on the Safety Board's
financial statements for Fiscal Year 2009. The opinion comes
at a time when the Board has realized improvement in several
management measurements.
"As proud as I am of the continuing professionalism of the
NTSB's accident investigations," NTSB Chairman Deborah A.P. Hersman
said, "I am gratified that the agency has demonstrated achievement
in its stewardship of taxpayer resources."
Recently, the Government Accountability Office issued a report
finding that the NTSB "has fully implemented or made significant
progress in adopting leading management practices in all areas in
which GAO made prior recommendations." The GAO also praised
the Board's continuing improvement of information security.
GAO found that the Safety Board was in substantial compliance with
the Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA).
"As we work to serve the American people, we must administer our
programs as efficiently and economically as possible," Chairman
Hersman said. "To do this, we rely on our system of
management controls to assure that our financial activities comply
with applicable laws, that our items of value are safeguarded, and
that our operations are accounted for properly."
