PREFACE The Comptroller General's Office compiled this report on travel expenditures for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011, to the extent possible, from data recorded in the Statewide Accounting and Reporting System (STARS) and South Carolina Enterprise Information Systems (SCEIS). Agencies and institutions (both referred to hereafter as “agencies”) that receive state appropriations but have the authority to issue their own checks and maintain their own accounting systems, such as the state's technical colleges, state-supported universities, and certain autonomously-organized component units of the state that receive state appropriated funds, submitted their travel data to us. That data also is included in this report. Employee job titles were obtained from the Budget and Control Board’s Office of Human Resources (OHR), except for legislative and judicial agencies. Each legislative and judicial agency submitted the job titles for their employees listed in this report. This report includes travel related expenditures paid from state, federal, and other sources by all agencies that received appropriations in the 2010-2011 Appropriations Act. Expenditures for travel costs incurred in the issuance of bonds, state-owned leased cars, and employee moving expenses are not included. Persons employed by one agency may incur travel expenditures that are appropriately charged to another agency. In these instances, the employee and the related travel is listed under the agency that paid for the travel. This report is divided into four sections. Section One contains a summary of in-state, out-of-state, and non-state employee travel and registration expenditures by agency. Out-of-state travel includes domestic travel outside the state as well as travel outside the borders of the United States. Non-state employee travel represents expenditures made by agencies on behalf of non-state employees for transportation, mileage, lodging, meals, and other legal charges necessary in the performance of their services while under contract with the State. This category includes registration fees and travel paid to volunteer workers. Section One list agencies in descending order beginning with the agency that spent the most on travel. Section Two ranks each agency by the total amount spent on in-state and out-of-state travel. This category also includes in-state and out-of-state registration fees. Section Three ranks each agency by the combined total amount spent on in-state and out-of-state travel. For each agency, the top twenty-five employee travelers are listed in descending order according to the amount expended. For agencies with more than twenty-five employee travelers, a line-item is included to show the total travel expenditures of all other employees not listed in the top twenty-five. In instances where more than one employee incurred the same amount of travel expenditures as one of the top twenty-five, each employee is listed. Therefore, it is possible that some agencies will have more than twenty-five employees listed. Expenditures for non-state employee travel are not included in this section. Accordingly, an agency's rank in Section Two may differ from its rank in Section One. Section Four contains narratives provided by each agency summarizing the type of travel incurred. Agencies are listed alphabetically.
