Red Book
The Red Book is a compendium of significant
Office of Inspector General (OIG) cost-saving
recommendations that have not been fully
implemented. Full implementation of the
recommendations in the Red Book could
produce substantial savings
to the Department.
For each recommendation, we summarize
the current law, the reason that action
is needed,
the estimated savings that would result
from taking the recommended action, and
the status of actions taken. In addition,
the type of action needed (legislative,
regulatory, or procedural) is
indicated.
The savings estimates for these unimplemented
recommendations are updated from time to
time to reflect more current data as it
becomes available. These estimates have
varying levels of precision, and the actual
savings to be achieved depend on the specific
legislative, regulatory, or administrative
action taken. However, the estimates provide
a general indication of the magnitude of
savings possible. |
