Abstract:
What OIG Found. We found that the Louisiana Unit generally adhered to the performance standards and complied with applicable laws, regulations, and policy transmittals during Federal fiscal years (FYs) 2018-2020, with one exception: (1) One case in our review of case files was ineligible for Federal matching funds during the review period. We also identified two beneficial practices that may be useful as a model to other Units. (2) The Unit hired an outreach coordinator to promote the Unit’s mission among its stakeholders. (3) The Unit and a neighboring Unit sponsored combined training events for employees of both Units. What OIG Recommends and How the Unit Responded. To address the one finding, we recommend that the Louisiana Unit repay Federal matching funds spent on the case that was ineligible for Federal funding. The Unit concurred with our recommendation.
