Audit

We audited the costs claimed by the Wyoming Game and Fish Department under grants awarded by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) through the Wildlife and Sport Fish Restoration Program. The audit included claims totaling approximately $50.2 million on five grants that were open during the State fiscal years that ended June 30, 2016, and June 30, 2017. The audit also covered the Department’s compliance with applicable laws, regulations, and FWS guidelines, including those related to the collection and use of hunting and fishing license revenues and the reporting of program income. We found that the Department complied with applicable grant accounting and regulatory requirements. We did not identify any reportable conditions. We also followed up on all recommendations from our 2013 audit (Report No. R-GR-FWS-0010-2013) and found that the U.S. Department of the Interior, Office of the Assistant Secretary for Policy, Management and Budget considered one recommendation, related to real property reconciliation, resolved but not implemented. We did not require a response to this audit report.
