Management Integrity
The Agency's managers and staff are responsible for the proper stewardship of federal resources. This includes assuring that programs are managed with integrity and in compliance with applicable laws. The Federal Managers' Financial Integrity Act (FMFIA) requires agency heads to submit annually, an Integrity Act Report providing reasonable assurance that the Agency's policies, procedures, and guidance are adequate to support the achievement of the Agency's intended mission, goals, and objectives.
The Agency's audit management process is an integral part of the management integrity program. Agency Managers and the Inspector General's staff rely on the audit management process to assist in the identification of management control weaknesses and major management challenges. Agency managers must carry out corrective actions to address these identified program problems. The Inspector General's Act Amendments of 1998 require that Agency management report to Congress twice a year and that the Office of Inspector General report annually on the status of audits and related corrective actions.
EPA's consolidated Performance and Accountability Reports cover several topics related to management integrity and meet the requirements of the Federal Managers Financial Integrity Act and the Inspector General Act Amendments.
