This operational audit of the Florida Commission on Community Service (Volunteer Florida) covered the period July 2006 through August 2008 and selected actions through May 2009. Our audit disclosed the following:
Finding No. 1: Volunteer Florida's fiscal monitoring of subgrantees needed improvement.
Finding No. 2: Subgrantees did not always complete the AmeriCorps member evaluations required by Federal law.
Finding No. 3: Volunteer Florida reimbursed subgrantees for undocumented and unallowable costs.
Finding No. 4: Subgrantees did not always obtain documentation required to support salary costs charged to the AmeriCorps Program.
Finding No. 5: Commission meetings were held in various Florida cities during the audit period at hotels selected by Volunteer Florida. The hotels provided rooms, meeting rooms, meals, and various other services. We found that Volunteer Florida did not maintain documentation of quotes to demonstrate the economy of the total costs associated with the venues selected. In addition, some meeting expenditures were not authorized by law and rules.
Management's response is included as Exhibit A.
