More than half of international grants distributed by the Labor Department are missing documentation, according to the Government Accountability Office (GAO).
The Department of Labor’s Bureau of International Labor Affairs (ILAB) distributed roughly $70 million in awards to improve working conditions overseas and fight child labor last year. However, 62 percent of these grants lacked proper documentation.
Sens. Orrin Hatch (R., Utah) and Lamar Alexander (R., Tenn.) warned that funds are being misused in light of the GAO report, requested by the senators and released on Thursday.
“Today’s report shows that the lack of internal controls at the Department of Labor means these grants, meant to improve labor standards and to combat child labor, could instead be funding organizations that have actually been banned from partnering with the federal government,” said Hatch, ranking member on the Senate Finance Committee, in a statement.
