Abstract
|
In fiscal year (FY) 2012, the Department of Commerce received an appropriations provision requiring it to submit to the Office of Inspector General (OIG) quarterly reports on the costs and contracting procedures related to FY 2012 Departmental conferences for which the government's costs exceeded $20,000. The Department's Office of Financial Management (OFM) was the lead office responsible for gathering the bureaus' data and submitting the first quarterly report. Accordingly, OFM developed and issued standardized conference policies and procedures to ensure bureaus' compliance with the Federal Travel Regulation (FTR), 41 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) parts 300-V304, which governs federal conferences and meetings. FTR requires agencies to (a) plan conferences using a cost.
