Employment Authorization Document: An INS document (Form I-688B) issued to aliens who have been granted permission to be employed in the U.S., but are not permanent residents or citizens.

Final Action: (a) The completion of all actions that the management of an establishment has concluded are necessary with respect to the findings and recommendations included in an audit; and (b) in the event that the management of an establishment concludes no action is necessary, final action occurs when a management decision has been made.

Information: Formal accusation of a crime made by a prosecuting attorney as distinguished from an indictment handed down by a grand jury.

Inspection Advisory Notice: Method of bringing exigent issues to management's attention while inspections work is still ongoing or to share information on a subject matter outside the defined scope of a review.

Management Issues: Allegations, generally of an administrative nature, that are sent to managers in the Department, or of other Departments, for their information and such action as they deem appropriate.

Materially Misstated: Facts or statements that may be misstated, distorted, augmented, omitted, or arranged in such a manner as to obscure and conceal material aspects of an item.

A-10

 

OIG Referrals: Matters referred to components within the Department of Justice for investigation or other action when criminal prosecution of the alleged misconduct is not foreseeable, and when the matter raises administrative issues involving lower-ranking employees. When a matter is referred, the component is to provide the OIG with the results of the referral, which may include investigative findings and administrative action taken by the component.

Questioned Cost: Cost that is questioned by the OIG because of (a) an alleged violation of a provision of a law, regulation, contract, grant, cooperative agreement, or other agreement or document governing the expenditure of funds; (b) a finding that, at the time of the audit, such cost is not supported by adequate documentation; or
(c) a finding that the expenditure of funds for the intended purpose is unnecessary or unreasonable.

Recommendation that Funds be Put to Better Use: Recommendation by the OIG that funds could be used more efficiently if management of an establishment took actions to implement and complete the recommendation, including (a) reductions in outlays; (b) deobligation of funds from programs or operations; (c) withdrawal of interest subsidy costs on loans or loan guarantees, insurance, or bonds; (d) costs incurred by implementing recommended improvements related to the operations of the establishment, a contractor, or grantee; (e) avoidance of unnecessary expenditures noted in pre-award reviews of contract or grant agreements; or (f) any other savings that are specifically identified.

Record of Arrival and Departure: An INS document (Form I-94) that is provided to each nonimmigrant visitor to the United States.

Recovered Funds: Government funds returned to the Department or the U.S. Treasury as the result of an investigation.

Restitution Funds: Payments to victims of crimes or civil wrongs ordered by courts as part of a criminal sentence or civil or administrative penalty.

Seizures: Property, including cash, real estate, vehicles, etc., used or acquired through illegal activities, that is confiscated by law enforcement officials. A decision is made by a court or civil authority regarding the disposition of the seized property.

Unqualified Opinion: An auditor's judgment that there are no reservations as to the fairness of presentation of an organization's financial statements and their conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Unsupported Cost: Cost that is questioned by the OIG because the OIG found that, at the time of the audit, such cost is not supported by adequate documentation.
