OIG audited Coal Quality Adjustment Reports (CQARs)
The OIG audited Coal Quality Adjustment Reports (CQARs), that show adjustment payments based upon the quality of coal that TVA receives in comparison to the quality of coal called for in their contract terms. In summary, we found the CQARs were calculated accurately and in accordance with contract terms. A summary of the report has been added to our Reports section.
The OIG audited Meriwether Lewis Electric Cooperative (MLEC), a distributor based in Centerville, TN.
We found MLEC generally complied with TVA’s contract provisions for properly reporting electric sales and nondiscrimination in providing power, but we noted noncompliance related to approved use of electric revenues. We also noted a few other less significant issues regarding MLEC's customer contract documentation and internal controls. Additionally, we identified two areas where TVA’s oversight of distributors could be enhanced. This audit has been added to our Reports section.
Message from the IG
The TVA Office of Inspector General performs a crucial mission by providing independent and objective reporting to the TVA board, the Congress, and other stakeholders. The OIG does this through its audit, inspection and investigative activities. By statute it is charged with promoting economy and efficiency throughout TVA while preventing and detecting fraud, waste, and abuse affecting TVA. TVA employees, contractors, and the public can help the TVA OIG fulfill its mission and make a difference at TVA by reporting any suspicions about fraud, waste and abuse to the OIG hotline system, known as Empowerline.
