Book Description
This report summarizes the results of our recently completed review of the title XX social services grant program. The objective of the review was to assess the quality and effectiveness of the States' financial management control systems in providing adequate accountability over Federal funds. Although specific findings deal with title XX as a categorical grant program, the weaknesses identified--particularly those related to audit coverage--have a direct bearing on the issues being raised by the Subcommittee in its efforts to improve accountability and audit oversight on block grant funds for which the States have stewardship. It was found that the States' financial management and internal controls have been largely ineffective in protecting against fraud, waste, and abuse and providing proper accountability over Federal funds. For example, about $13.2 million of improper and unjustified costs were claimed under 60 of the 98 contracts reviewed. This represented about 12 percent of the total value of the contracts sampled.
