OMB Circular A-50, "Audit Follow Up", requires each Federal agency to establish policies and procedures for resolution of and follow up on audit recommendations contained in reports issued by the Office of the Inspector General (OIG). As a result, NSF resolves reports resulting from audits, inspections, evaluations, and other OIG reviews.

In an effort to promote transparency and accessibility, NSF has established this web page to disseminate the results of the resolution process specifically for NSF OIG audit reports. Therefore, this page contains official management decisions issued by the agency as a result of its resolution efforts for both internal and external OIG reviews.
