Management allowed the questioned amount. The Legal Division has concluded that no sufficient basis exists to disallow the questioned costs. The OIG was unable to apply auditing procedures to satisfy itself as to the reasonableness of these charges since the supporting documentation was not available. Further, the law firm acknowledged a violation of its contract terms by not properly maintaining the documentation for the required period. Therefore, the OIG will continue to question the missing invoices as unsupported.
Actual costs are generally limited to the phone line charge.
Management allowed the full amount.
