EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The objective of our review was to determine whether adoption assistance costs claimed for Federal reimbursement were adequately supported and reported in accordance with Federal requirements. For the three Fiscal Years ended June 30, 2003, the State claimed $143,162 ($89,797 Federal share) in adoption assistance costs that were the result of unsupported variances, clerical errors, and incorrectly allocated costs. The State concurred with our findings and recommendations and has agreed to implement additional procedures to ensure accurate reporting of costs claimed for Federal reimbursement.
