(GJEO). We agreed to provide information regarding the actions taken by GJEO to respond to questions raised in two Department of Labor (DOL) audit reports. We have reviewed GJEO's responses to these audit reports and the final actions taken by DOL to settle the questions raised in the audits. The audit reports covered two grants totalling $5.3 million in Federal funds made to GJEO for Neighborhood Youth Corps projects. DOL questioned $1,034,000 of program expenditures paid from Federal funds and $172,000 in ex- penditures paid from non-Federal funds. The questions were raised in the audits generally because of inadequate documentation and support for program expenditures. The purpose of GJEO's response was to provide the necessary additional support and clarification. However, GJEO was unable to locate all records related to t Ce grants. GJEO had utilized an outside processing cent r to prepare payroli checks and handle the bank account for the program funds. At the time of the DOL audits, the processing firm was bankrupt and no longer in business. As a result, documents, including cancelled checks necessary for support, were not readily available. In addition, activities performed under the two grants were conducted at several locations physically apart from the operations of GJEO itself. The physical separation of the programs apparently hampered control of the grants and fragmented the maintenance of records pertinent to the grants. Because of these and other difficulties, DOL granted GJEO several extensions for responding to the audit reports. HRD-76-177
