Audit of the Office on Violence Against Women Grants to Indian Tribal Governments Program Awarded to the Yankton Sioux Tribe, Wagner, South Dakota.

摘要

The OVWs mission is to provide federal leadership in developing the nations capacity to reduce violence against women and administer justice for and strengthen services to victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking. To support this mission, the OVW administers financial and technical assistance to communities across the country that are developing programs, policies, and practices aimed at ending domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking. The purpose of the audit was to determine whether costs claimed under the grant were allowable, supported, and in accordance with applicable laws, regulations, guidelines, and terms and conditions of the grant. The objective of the audit was to review performance in the following areas: (1) internal control environment, (2) drawdowns, (3) grant expenditures, (4) budget management and control, (5) financial status and progress reports, (6) program performance and accomplishments, (7) grant closeout activities, (8) property management, (9) matching costs, (10) program income, (11) monitoring of sub-grantees and contractors, and (12) special grant requirements. We found that grant closeout, property management, matching costs, program income, and monitoring of sub-grantees and contractors were not applicable to this grant audit. We tested compliance with what we consider to be the most important conditions of the grant award. Unless otherwise stated in this report, the criteria we audit against are contained in the OJP Financial Guide and the award documents.
