IG scrutinizes management challenges at DOE

The Department of Energy Inspector General released a report last week illustrating the management challenges at DOE.

Inspector General Gregory Friedman wrote that “based on the results of our body of work over the last year, we have concluded that the list of management challenges for Fiscal Year (FY) 2013 should remain largely consistent with that of the previous year. While positive strides have been made in a number of areas, many of the department’s most significant management challenges are not amenable to immediate resolution.

Those management challenges include:
• Operational efficiency and cost savings
• Contract and financial assistance award management
• Cyber security
• Energy supply
• Environmental cleanup
• Human capital management
• Nuclear waste disposal
• Safeguards and security
• Stockpile stewardship

Friedman said the IG’s office has also developed a “watch list,” which came up after the recent events at the Y-12 National Security Complex where three trespassers gained access to a classified area. They defaced the building and they were not interrupted by any of the security measures in place.
