NASA Records Retention Schedules (w/Change 5, 6/26/09)

CHAPTER 9. NRRS 9

Financial Management And Inspector General Records

This records schedule is one of a series of schedules, approved by the Archivist of the United States, which furnishes authoritative instructions for the retention, destruction, or retirement of records held by NASA Centers or other offices.

This schedule grants continuing authority for the disposition of records already accumulated or to be accumulated in the future.

Financial Management

The records described in Schedule 9 pertain to the management and operation of NASA accountable officer's accounts, including records under the cognizance of the General Accounting Office (GAO). These records relate to documentation concerned with accounting for availability and status of public funds. There are several types of accountable officers' returns and related records, such as (a) the collecting officer, who receives monies owed to the Federal Government and ensures that it is credited to the proper account; (b) the disbursing officer who is responsible for providing documentation to GAO since he accomplishes the actual payment of public monies to proper Federal creditors; and, (c) the certifying officer, whose signature on a summary attests to the authenticity of vouchers listed on the schedule.

Disbursements for most civilian Government agencies are made by the Chief Disbursing Officer of the Treasury, who heads the Division of Disbursement of the Bureau of Government Financial Operations within the Department of the Treasury. Since July 1949, disbursements have been made for most Agencies on the basis of certified schedules, with the detailed vouchers transferred to GAO from the Agency or held in Agency space if site audit was involved. This procedure was extended and confirmed by GAO General Regulations, No. 115 issued January 29, 1952, which promulgated a standard form voucher and schedule of payments (Standard Forms 1166 and 1167) for use by all Agencies effective July 1, 1952, and formally eliminated the transfer of vouchers of the Chief Disbursing Officer.

This schedule includes records held for onsite audit by GAO, as described in item 1a below. Under onsite audit, vouchers, contracts, schedules, statements of transactions and accountability and other related supporting documents are retained in Agency space for GAO auditors.

Inspector General

Records in this series monitor agency program and operations to prevent and reduce waste and fraud and to improve Agency Management. The Inspector General Act of 1978, as amended, and other legislation established an Office of Inspector General (OIG) in selected Government Agencies. An OIG conducts and supervises audits and investigations; recommends policies to promote economy, efficiency, and effectiveness and to prevent fraud and abuse; and reports problems, deficiencies and progress to the Agency head. OIGs must submit reports to Congress.

This schedule covers the two major series of disposal investigative, audit and related records created or maintained by an OIG. Indexes to these files are covered by NASA Records Schedule 10 - Records Common to Most Offices. Correspondence or subject files, policy files, publications, reports to Congress, and any other records not specifically described in this schedule must be scheduled through the Center Records Manager. This schedule does not authorize disposal of investigative case files for cases that result in national media attention, Congressional investigation, or substantive changes in Agency policy or procedures. Such files must be scheduled by submission of a NASA Form 1418.

Records described in this schedule are authorized for disposal in both hard copy and electronic forms.
