GSA tells employees to report questionable expenses

Top officials at the General Services Administration called on employees at the agency to be vigilant and call attention to suspected instances of waste, fraud and abuse, reports Federal News Radio.

In an April 9 letter, GSA acting Administrator Dan Tangherlini and GSA Inspector General Brian Miller told employees that “it is time now to move forward and begin to repair the damage to our agency’s reputation,” and encouraged them to be on the lookout for questionable expenses and to report them to supervisors or to the IG, according to the news report.

The letter comes in the wake of an IG report that detailed questionable expenses at GSA and sparked growing scrutiny of the agency by members of Congress.

It's a little late to repair the damage to GSA, let alone the implications to all other agencies within the Federal government. The agency I am employeed with (USDOT)scrutinizes every expenditure. How could GSA have gotten away with what they did for as long as they did? Where were the checks and balances. Truly disgraceful.

The no fear program to protect employees is a joke. Employees need a witness protection type program or their career is over.

Someone needs to look into the OIC (officer in charge) situation. Managers/postmasters/supervisors are placed into positions for extended periods of time. While OIC many receive the higher salary, PLUS mileage to drive to work and sometimes per diem. Open positions should be filled within 3-6 months; not filled with OIC's on a revolving door system.
