Audit of the EPA’s Telework and Remote Work Programs

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Office of Inspector General plans to begin an audit of the EPA’s telework and remote work programs. This audit is in response to a congressional request. The audit will examine locality pay for employees working in a telework and remote work status.


Our objective is to determine whether the EPA ensures employees are paid the correct locality pay in accordance with regulations and policy. We plan to conduct work in the Office of Mission Support, Office of the Chief Financial Officer, and in selected regional offices and program offices. We will use applicable generally accepted government auditing standards to conduct our audit. The anticipated benefits of this audit include improved operational efficiency for the Agency.
