Hearings on the Comprehensive Employment and Training Act's (CETA's) vulnerability to fraud and abuse are reported. |
| Abstract:
|
The House subcommittee holding the 3-day hearings was concerned that the system for managing the CETA program is as good as possible so that the money reaches the ultimate beneficiaries and scandal is minimized. Prepared statements and testimony by representatives of the General Accounting Office and the Department of Labor (DOL) are included, as is the testimony of a local grantee with credentials in training and placing women in nontraditional jobs. Witnesses demonstrate how an effective subgrantee operates, identify weaknesses in the CETA system, and discuss what is being done to correct management weaknesses in the system. The quality of DOL audits of CETA grantees and the adequacy of its system of internal controls are assessed. DOL responses to questions concerning CETA management are appended.
