Results of Limited Scope Review at Raleigh County Community Action Association, Inc.

We reviewed the financial condition of Raleigh County Community Action Association, Inc. (Raleigh), 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 (Recovery Act).

Based on our assessment, Raleigh is financially viable, has the ability to manage and account for Federal funds, and is capable of operating its Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) programs in accordance with Federal regulations. However, we noted weaknesses related to a lack of written policies and procedures for use of consultants and for determining CSBG-specific program eligibility.

In determining whether Raleigh is appropriately managing and accounting for the Recovery Act and regular CSBG grant funding, we recommended that ACF consider the information presented in this report in assessing Raleigh's ability to operate the CSBG programs in accordance with Federal regulations.
