From August 2014 to June 2017, the North Carolina Commission on Volunteerism and Community Service (Commission) and two of its larger subgrantees claimed $16,132,771 in federal and match expenditures under the AmeriCorps State and National program.

The agreed-upon procedures (AUP) review of AmeriCorps grant funds to Serve Indiana and two subgrantees, the Boys and Girls Club of Wayne County Indiana (BGCWCI) and the American Red Cross of Indiana (ARCI), identified questioned Federal costs totaling $127,090, questioned matching costs of $82,157, questioned Education Awards of $20,055 and compliance findings. Most of the questioned costs identified were caused by inadequate financial management by BGCWCI and deficiencies with the National Service Criminal History Checks (NSCHC) by ARCI.

We have determined that the Corporation for National and Community Service’s (CNCS’s) information security program is NOT EFFECTIVE. CNCS has in place the basic information technology policies, procedures and system security documentation needed for effective cybersecurity. To progress beyond the current maturity level, the Corporation must consistently implement and monitor security controls. We continued to find severe vulnerabilities on the network.

For the second year in a row, an independent audit of CNCS’s consolidated Fiscal Year 2018 financial statements resulted in a disclaimer of opinion, the worst possible outcome for a financial statement audit. CNCS did not cure the four material weaknesses and one significant deficiency identified in the FY 2017 audit. This year, the auditors reported six additional material weaknesses and another significant deficiency.In layman’s terms, the financial statements were unauditable and likely subject to pervasive material errors.
