Report Summary
Background
The Office of Auditor of Accounts (AOA) presents a performance audit of Dover Interfaith Mission for Housing, Inc. (DIMH), an organization that received a grant from the Delaware Opioid Abatement & Remediation Grant Program. This program is managed by the Prescription Opioid Settlement Distribution Commission (POSDC) (16 Del. C. § 5195).
The grant awards are for evidence-based efforts that treat, prevent, and reduce opioid use disorder and the misuse of opioids. Services provided include treatment interventions, recovery support, and prevention. The grant program has awarded millions of dollars towards these efforts so far.
AOA’s performance audit engagements of opioid settlement grant recipients evaluated compliance with grant agreements entered into with the POSDC. These performance audits were conducted in accordance with the standards applicable to performance audits contained in Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States.
Auditors sampled and tested expenditures of grant funds and evaluated reported results to determine organizational compliance with the expected performance measures, scope of work, and budget presented in the individual grant agreements.
The audit was performed according to AOA’s authority as set forth in 29 Del. C. §2906.
Key Information and Findings
The performance audit conducted on DIMH contained two (2) findings that were identified during the engagement.
- The first finding reports that DIMH did not maintain adequate documentation to perform testing to determine if all expenditures were consistent and in compliance with Phase 1 A of the grant agreement.
- The second finding reports that DIMH does not have a Conflict-of-Interest Policy to provide assurance that actual conflicts, or the appearance of potential conflicts have been addresses by the organization.
