CLOSEOUT MEMORANDUM
Case Number: 1-15-04-0014 Page 1of1
We initiated this investigation based on a referral from our Office of Audits, which learned that a
university's 1 annual A-133 audit identified several instances of falsified payroll records, resulting
in improper payments to employees whose time was being charged to federal awards.
We contacted the university and reviewed financial records for three NSF awards to determine
whether similar improprieties affected these awards. 2 We found no improper documentation for
salary charges made to the three awards.
Accordingly, this investigation is closed.
