151125 - Mitchell 3 - ImageWhile investigating claims of waste and mismanagement in the Energy Information Administration's (EIA) IT programs, the Energy Department inspector general discovered millions in under reported costs and significant cybersecurity weaknesses.

"The complaints alleged that EIA's Transformation Project — a major system development effort designed to enhance efficiencies within the agency — produced no significant results or benefits and resulted in wasted funds and resources," the report states. "In particular, we identified weaknesses related to IT project management, capital planning and investment control, cybersecurity and records management."
