July 1, 2024 – Federal Election Commission Office of Inspector General: Transmittal of the Audit Report of the Federal Election Commission’s Equal Employment Opportunity and Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Accessibility Programs for Fiscal Year 2023
This memorandum transmits the Independent Public Accountants (IPA) Audit Report of the FEC’s Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) and Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Accessibility (DEIA) Programs dated June 28, 2024. The audit was performed by Brown & Company under a blanket purchase agreement with, and monitored by, the OIG in accordance with generally accepted government auditing standards. Based on audit work performed, Brown & Company concluded that the FEC has complied with applicable statutory requirements, EEOC laws and regulations and OPM guidance, as well as applicable agency policies and procedures. While no significant deficiencies were identified, we do believe there is an opportunity to improve the representation of underserved communities (specifically Latinos, Native Americans, and minority men) which is covered in a separate management letter of comment. The FEC OIG would also like to recognize the initiatives implemented by the DEIA Council which are helping to improve the diversity and inclusion of the FEC’s workforce and environment. The OIG reviewed Brown & Company’s report and related documentation and provided the appropriate oversight throughout the course of the audit. Our review ensures the accuracy of the audit conclusions but may not express an opinion of the results. The OIG’s review determined that Brown & Company complied with applicable required Government Auditing Standards. We appreciate the collaboration and support from FEC staff and the professionalism that Brown & Company exercised throughout the course of the audit. If you have any questions concerning the enclosed report, please contact Ms. Shellie Purnell-Brown at (202) 694-1019.
