Dear Chairwoman:

     Subject: i . SAO Follcwup to Problems at the Nicholas County
               Community Action Association, West Virginiaji
               (AFMD-81-48)

     In response to your June 5, 1980, letter, we have reviewed
the effectiveness of the Community Services Administration's
(CSA's) efforts to correct management and financial problems at
the Nicholas County Community Action Association, West Virginia.
A CSA investigation completed in January 1978 reported that,
among other things, the Association

     --was maintaining and using an unaudited, income-producing
       account (which by October 1978 had a fund balance of
       about $139,500) without the complete knowledge, approval,
       or control of its board of directors;

     --employed an Executive Director and another staff member
       who were receiving salaries from multiple sources in viola-
       tion of CSA regulations:

     --used questionable bidding and procurement practices for
       large capital expenditures;

     -was making loans of funds and property that were contrary
       to CSA regulations;

     --had a board of directors that was not viable and served
        only as a rubber stamp for the executive director's will;
        and

     --had its Decart-ment of Labor employment program terminated
       because of a lack of fiscal controls, falsified documents
       and the use of ineligible enrollees.

OBJECTIVES, SCOPE, AND METHODOLOGY

     We directed our work toward answering the questions contained
