Report Number
2017-FIN-032-A

During an audit of the costs claimed by the State of Connecticut’s Department of Economic and Community Development (DECD) on Grant No. P13AF00113 with the National Park Service (NPS), we found several issues with NPS oversight over the DECD’s performance. Specifically, the NPS did not: • Clearly define administrative costs when monitoring expenses • Properly review the Federal Financial Reports (SF-425s) • Document or communicate major funding changes to Congress In this management advisory, we make three recommendations to the NPS to resolve these issues.
