Suppression of Audit Reports

An investigation of an allegation by a former auditor of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) that Headquarters had been suppressing audit reports prepared by the Southwest Region audit staff located at Johnson Space Center was undertaken. Accordingly, the audit procedures and workpapers supporting two audit reports were reviewed. Concern about an issue in one of the reports involving unauthorized expenditures on Building 37, and the claim that a substantial quantity of lunar material was missing or otherwise unaccounted for were also examined.
