Audit flags documentation gaps in a redevelopment subsidy program
An independent audit found incomplete records supporting certain payments. The agency says it is implementing the auditor's recommendations.
An independent audit of a redevelopment subsidy program found documentation gaps supporting certain payments, according to the report released this week. The agency administering the program said it is implementing the auditor's recommendations.
The audit identified instances where supporting paperwork for payments was incomplete or missing from the file. Auditors characterized the findings as control weaknesses rather than evidence of misuse, and recommended specific documentation and approval changes.
In a written response included in the report, the agency accepted the findings and outlined corrective steps. Audit findings of this kind are common and do not, by themselves, indicate that funds were misdirected.
