12. Finding from DOE’s Office of the Inspector General and GAO Reports Report on the Audit of DOE’s Commercial Laboratory Quality Assurance Evaluation Program (June 1995) Some laboratories were audited numerous times by a DOE entity; others were never audited Evaluation methods varied significantly from one contractor to another Audit results were not shared between contractors IG and GAO identified that reductions in DOE Auditing of Analytical Laboratory Services was needed 12

13. DOECAP Background Purpose of the Program: Eliminate/minimize audit redundancies Standardize audit methodology, policies and procedures Communicate Lessons Learned Reduce overall Department risks/liabilities Involve all DOE line organizations/field operations Auditor participants would be DOE federal employees and contractors 13

14. DOECAP Overview Program Purpose/Scope: DOECAP DOES NOT certify, accredit, nor approve laboratories/TSDF’s Consolidated audits provide information to program line/field managers to determine status of contractual agreements compliance/risks and liabilities Audit findings are based upon non-conformances with DOE contractual requirements, QSAS, SOPs, and/or non-compliance with Federal/State requirements Tracking throughout year of all corrective actions (about 400 findings/observations) Lessons learned initiatives – Weekly conference calls, Annual Workshop, Annual FY Report FY11 -- 37 DOECAP audits (26 laboratories/11 TSDFs) 14

28. FY 2011 Findings DOECAP conducted 37 audits in FY2011 85% of all FY2010 audit findings were closed during FY2011 audits: - 83% of the Lab findings - 89% of the TSDF findings New Findings Identified Lab & TSDF since 2006: FY2006 = 269FY2009 = 277 FY2007 = 374FY2010 = 227 FY2008 = 216FY2011 = 215 28

29. Program Challenges Maintaining Program integrity/strength given reduced budgets throughout the Complex Staffing Audit Teams with Qualified DOECAP Auditors (Labs/TSDFs) - identifying new auditors to enter Program Obtaining accurate information regarding laboratory and TSDF facility usage in order to appropriately prioritize audit schedules - DOE contractual agreements - Use volumes (analytical services/waste disposition) Completing the integration of the DOE and DoD laboratory requirements documents, new laboratory checklists, and auditor training 29
