Despite continuing work to improve its Improper Payments Elimination and Recovery Act (IPERA) compliance program, the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) did not meet three of the six IPERA compliance criteria, unchanged from FY 2018. Specifically, CNCS was unable to reliably estimate the amount or the rate of improper payments in the AmeriCorps State and National Program, the Foster Grandparent Program (FGP), the Senior Companion Program, and the Retired and Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP).

The information security program of the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) has been assessed as not effective with little progress over the past three years. While security training remains an area of strength at CNCS, performance in this area is outweighed by the substantial risks resulting from the continuing control weaknesses in configuration management, identity, and access management, and data protection and privacy.

The Corporation for National and Community Service, Office of Inspector General (CNCS-OIG) presents its Fall 2019 Semiannual Report, covering the six-month period of April 1, 2019 – September 30, 2019.

For the third year in a row, an independent audit of CNCS’s National Service Trust Fund Fiscal Year 2019 financial statements resulted in a disclaimer of opinion, the worst possible outcome for a financial statement audit. CNCS cured none of the three material weaknesses and one significant deficiency, which were first identified in the FY 2017 audit. In short, CNCS’s financial statements were unauditable and CNCS was unable to support some of its largest transactions and liabilities.
