Excerpt
Excerpt: An integral part of GPO's working environment is the Workers' Compensation Program (WCP). This program provides compensation to GPO employees who are injured or who incur illness in performance of, or in connection with, their duties. For Fiscal Year 2000, GPO incurred over $6 million in compensation costs, with an overall workers' compensation liability of over $32.6 million. The primary objective of this audit was to perform a follow-up review on the audit recommendations issued by two previous Office of the Inspector General (OIG) audit reports. A total of 28 prior recommendations were reviewed. We noted significant improvement in many areas of OWC; seven recommendations were considered to be filly implemented. However, another 16 prior recommendations were evaluated as partially implemented, whereas 5 others were considered not implemented. OWC management disagreed with our opinions regarding the not implemented recommendations, but has agreed to take actions to fully implement the partially implemented ones.
