Summary of Review
The Office of Inspector General (OIG) recently completed investigative work on allegations it received regarding a senior employee in the Bureau of Comptroller and Global Financial Services (CGFS) who has been serving as a reemployed annuitant (REA) in travel status for more than 14 years. While investigating these complaints, OIG identified a lack of appropriate controls and a misunderstanding of rules surrounding the employment of annuitants within CGFS. Specifically, multiple officials disregarded the established rules and regulations governing REAs. Despite concerns from both the associated embassy and OIG, CGFS failed to take any action to correct these deficiencies.
