U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Wildlife and Sport Fish Restoration Program Grants Awarded to the Government of the Virgin Islands, Department of Planning and Natural Resources, From October 1, 2012, Through September 30, 2014

We audited costs claimed by the Government of the Virgin Islands, Department of Planning and Natural Resources, under grants awarded by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The audit included claims totaling approximately $3.9 million on 37 grants that were open during the State fiscal years that ended September 30, 2013, and September 30, 2014. 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 revenue and the reporting of program income.

 

We determined that the Department's financial management system does not provide for accurate recording and reporting of program revenues and expenditures.
