We audited the costs claimed by the Commonwealth of Virginia, Marine Resources Commission, under grants awarded by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) through the Wildlife and Sport Fish Restoration Program. We conducted this audit to determine whether the Commission used grant funds and State fishing license revenue for allowable fish activities and complied with applicable laws and regulations, FWS guidelines, and grant agreements. The audit period included claims totaling $7.6 million on 22 grants that were open during the State fiscal years that ended June 30, 2018, and June 30, 2019.
We found that the Commission ensured that grant funds and license revenue were used for allowable activities and complied with applicable laws and regulations, FWS guidelines, and grant agreements. We did not identify any reportable conditions.
