Results of Limited Scope Review at Adams County Community Development

We reviewed the financial condition of Adams County Community Development (ACCD) as part of a nationwide series of reviews of Community Action Agencies that have received funding under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.

Based on our assessment, we believe that ACCD is financially viable and has the capacity to manage and account for Federal funds and to operate its Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) program in accordance with Federal regulations. However, we noted weaknesses related to the allowability of costs, data quality and reporting, policies and procedures, and the whistleblower process.

We recommended that the Administration for Children and Families consider the information presented in this report in assessing ACCD's ability to operate the CSBG program in accordance with Federal regulations. In written comments on our draft report, ACCD provided information as to corrective actions it has taken since our review, as well as additional information related to some of our findings.
