摘要

The Department of Justice (DOJ) Office of the Inspector General (OIG) completed an audit of grant number 2007-JL-FX-0051 in the amount of $1,124,000 awarded to the Best Friends Foundation (Best Friends). Best Friends operates school-based character educational programs targeted toward middle and high school students. The primary goal of Best Friends is to assist adolescents in rejecting risk behaviors that lead to crime, violence, academic failure, and underachievement. We conducted this audit to determine whether costs claimed under the grant were allowable, reasonable, and in accordance with applicable laws, regulations, guidelines, and the terms and conditions of the award.
