摘要

The U.S. Department of Justice Office of the Inspector General, Audit Division, has completed an audit of two Office for Victims of Crime grants awarded to the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency (PCCD), located in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. These grant awards were funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Recovery Act). The grants we audited included the Victims of Crime Act Victim Compensation Formula Grant Program (Victim Compensation grant), grant number 2009-SF-B9-0090, which totaled $1,536,233, and the Victims of Crime Act Victim Assistance Formula Grant Program (Victim Assistance grant), grant number 2009-SG-B9-0117, which totaled $1,323,000. The Victim Compensation grant provided funds to enhance victim compensation payments to eligible crime victims. The Victim Assistance grant provided funds to enhance crime victim services in Pennsylvania. The objective of our audit was to determine whether reimbursements claimed for costs under the grants were allowable, supported, and in accordance with applicable laws, regulations, guidelines, and the terms and conditions of the grants. We also evaluated PCCDs program performance in meeting objectives and overall accomplishments for each grant.
