The OIG conducted a limited-scope audit of the automatic data processing and information technology central service costs charged to DOL grants by the Maryland Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation (DLLR) for the period October 1996 through April 2000.

We questioned $1,222,020 in rebates not credited to DOL grants, and $117,675 in unallowable interest costs charged to the grants because these actions violated the applicable Federal cost principles. We recommended ETA recover the questioned costs either as cost reductions or cash refunds, and direct DLLR to implement internal control procedures to ensure that, as required by OMB Circular A-87, (1) costs claimed under Federal grants are "net of all applicable credits," and (2) unallowable interest costs are not claimed for reimbursement. ETA agreed with these recommendations.
