Audit Reports

The Office of Inspector General contracts with independent accounting firms to conduct performance audits of grants issued by the Appalachian Regional Commission. Our office works with the Appalachian Regional Commission’s grant management team to work to identify potential issues and risks where an early audit could help keep the grantee on track. Other risk factors for assignment of grant audits include increases in grant amounts, experience the grantee, new grantees, and determining if the grantee has the capacity to manage the dollar amount of financial resources provided.
