I managed one economics team and built four successful audit teams (Cost Revenue and Rates, Marketing, Retail Audit, and Revenue Operations). The economics team reported $5.2 billion of “cost burdens,” i.e., costs imposed on the Postal Service that impeded its efficiency, but which it could not avoid. The Revenue Operations Team identified $757 million of underpayments attributable to weaknesses in Postal Service controls over revenue collection.

I was selected as the first Director for Contract Audits under the OIG’s 2001 reorganization. I supervised a nation-wide staff of 24 auditors, and was responsible for planning and directing all contract audits, including performance audits of EPA contract management, and financial audits of EPA contractors.Managed audits of an environmental company that was 10 years behind in finalizing contract costs. Cleaned up the backlog without compromising professional auditing standards and without any additional staff. Completed amulti-year workload and skill gap analysis, for which I received a Bronze Medal in 2003.Managed audits that returned $13,273,482 in contract cost savings due to questioned costs, $2.83 for every dollar spent. Issued reports that recommended improvements in EPA’s counter-terrorism preparedness, contract management, contractor internal controls pertaining to cost accounting standards and computer systems.

As a Team Leader I led financial reviews of EPA contractors, conducted at the contractor's facilities, and advised EPA contracting officers of billing discrepancies.
