Questioned Costs are expenditures that do not comply with legal, regulatory, or contractual requirements, or are not supported by adequate documentation at the time of the audit, or are unnecessary or unreasonable. Questioned costs may be remedied by offset, waiver, recovery of funds, or the provision of supporting documentation.
Funds Put to Better Use are funds not yet expended that could be used more efficiently if management took action to implement and complete audit recommendations.
$8,321,570 in funds to be put to better use for closed grants is the amount identified during our initial review. As stated on page 47 of this report, subsequent to our review COPS deobligated $1,767,859 in funds remaining for 56 grants reported as closed and allowed grantees to draw down $ 147,862 on grants reported as closed, which we are questioning as unallowable.
