The Corporation for National and Community Service, Office of Inspector General (CNCS-OIG) presents its Spring 2019 Semiannual Report, covering the six-month period of October 1, 2018 – March 31, 2019.

Despite a continuous focus on improving its Improper Payments Elimination and Recovery Act of 2010 (IPERA) compliance program, the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) remains unable to reliably estimate the amount or the rate of improper payments in the AmeriCorps State and National Program (AmeriCorps), Foster Grandparent Program (FGP), Retired and Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP), and Senior Companion Program (SCP).

The agreed-upon procedures review of AmeriCorps grant funds awarded to the Delaware Governor’s Commission on Community and Volunteer Service (DGCCVS), and two subgrantees, Division of Parks and Recreation and Reading Assist Institute, identified questioned Federal costs of $11,463, questioned match costs of $46,380, questioned education awards and interest forbearance of $8,721 and compliance findings. The costs tested were incurred between April 1, 2016, and March 31, 2018.
