SBA's Corrective Actions to Improve Oversight of the SCORE Association

We inspected the U.S. Small Business Administration’s (SBA) corrective action(s) for 8 of our 11 recommendations from the Office of Inspector General (OIG) audit report Audit of SBA’s Oversight of the SCORE Association to determine whether SBA continues to practice corrective actions. A verification inspection is a limited scope that focuses on closed recommendations from prior OIG reports.

We determined OIG Report 19-12 recommendations 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 11 to be fully implemented; however, SBA program officials did not fully implement recommendation 10. We will track management’s implementation by reopening the recommendation and will work with SBA to establish a target date for implementing corrective actions through the audit follow-up process.
