...Logistics Management Division’s VSV Program Strengthens Internal Controls Launched in September 2013, the Office of Administration, Logistics Management Division’s Virtual Site Visit (VSV) program is a comprehensive review of an office’s compliance with policies and procedures in the Logistics Management areas of operation. It is intended to reduce the number of findings from audits, Inspectors General reports and other internal and external reviews of compliance. It replaces the traditional physical site assistance visit in a time of dwindling travel budgets, while enabling Office of Administration to continue one-on-one engagement with agency offices. To date, we have conducted 18 VSV’s, with a slate of eight underway for FY 2016. To develop the program, we reviewed every Logistics Management policy, procedure, handbook, branded form and guidance document to develop measurable performance criteria. The result is a 40-item checklist covering 14 areas of operation, including personal property, physical inventory, fleet, leased copiers and transit subsidy. Each item in the checklist features specific policy references, evaluation criteria, data sampling and/or analysis methodology and objective performance benchmarks. The program is entirely virtual, requiring no physical presence, and is managed using existing agency technologies, including the Enterprise Collaboration Network (ECN), AT&T Connect and Lync. The VSV is not an audit, rather it is a review program intended...

...UNCTAD The United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) was established in 1964 as a permanent intergovernmental body. UNCTAD is the principal organ of the United Nations General Assembly dealing with trade, investment, and development issues. The organization's goals are to: "maximize the trade, investment and development opportunities of developing countries and assist them in their efforts to integrate into the world economy on an equitable basis." The primary objective of UNCTAD is to formulate policies relating to all aspects of development including trade, aid, transport, finance and technology. The conference ordinarily meets once in four years; the permanent secretariat is in Geneva. One of the principal achievements of UNCTAD has been to conceive and implement the Generalised System of Preferences (GSP). It was argued in UNCTAD that to promote exports of manufactured goods from developing countries, it would be necessary to offer special tariff concessions to such exports. Accepting this argument, the developed countries formulated the GSP scheme under which manufacturers' exports and some agricultural goods from the developing countries enter duty-free or at reduced rates in the developed countries. Since imports of such items from other developed countries are subject to the normal rates of duties, imports of the same items from developing countries would enjoy a competitive advantage. The creation of UNCTAD in 1964 was based on concerns of developing...
