Administrative Investigation, Prohibited Personnel Practice and Preferential Treatment, National Cemetery Administration, VA Central Office. Redacted.

摘要

The VA Office of Inspector General Administrative Investigations Division investigated allegations that Mr. Muro engaged in a prohibited personnel practice when he allowed an NCA contractor to review his long-time friends resume and preselected him for a higher paying position. We also investigated an allegation that Mr. Muro had a less-than-arm's length relationship with that contractor. To assess these allegations, we interviewed Mr. Muro; Ms. Noonan; Mr. Glenn Powers, NCA Deputy Under Secretary for Field Programs; Mr. Thomas Muir, NCA Deputy Under Secretary for Management and HCA; Ms. Kimberly Wright, NCA Director of Field Programs; NCA Management Analyst; and other VA employees. We reviewed email, personnel, telephone, and contract records, and other relevant documents. We reviewed Federal laws and regulations, as well as VA policy. We made no recommendations for administration action against Mr. Muro, as he retired from VA effective June 20, 2014.
