Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book exposes the endemic management issues and contracting irregularities within the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The author, a seasoned EPA Inspector General, meticulously details a litany of misconduct related to outside assistance agreements, such as grants, interagency agreements, and cooperative work. The EPA's increasing reliance on external support has led to cozy relationships with certain contractors, with agency personnel routinely bending and even breaking rules to maintain these connections. These questionable practices include awarding contracts without fair competition, tailoring specifications to favor incumbents, and approving inflated invoices. Moreover, the author uncovers instances of personal service contracts in which contractors essentially perform the duties of government employees and cases where conflicts of interest were overlooked or ignored. This book raises important questions about the agency's commitment to responsible stewardship of taxpayer dollars and serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of weakening oversight in the name of expediency. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
