Social Security Administration Spent $32 Million on Conferences
The inspector general for the agency reported that just over 300 conferences cost taxpayers roughly $100,000 each in travel, meals, and lodging expenses during a three-year period. The audit found that the agency mostly complied with federal reporting requirements to disclose conferences that cost $20,000 or more. The inspector general did find two instances where those conferences were not reported, because initial cost estimates fell below the $20,000 threshold. In all, the inspector general identified 317 conferences that were held between fiscal years 2013 and 2016. Posted by: Besoeker 2017-05-31 |
