摘要

The U.S. Department of Justice, Office of the Inspector General, Audit Division, has completed an audit of an Office on Violence Against Women grant awarded to Prairie State Legal Services, Incorporated (PSLS). PSLS was awarded in September 2012 to provide comprehensive civil legal services to low-income victims of sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking. The objective of our audit was to review performance in the following areas: (1) internal control environment; (2) drawdowns; (3) grant expenditures, including personnel costs; (4) budget management and control; (5) matching costs; (6) accountable property; (7) program income; (8) federal financial and progress reports; (9) grant award requirements; (10) program performance and accomplishments; and (11) monitoring of partner organizations. We determined that matching costs, accountable property, indirect costs, program income, and monitoring of contractors were not applicable to this grant.
