Report Description

For the time period reviewed, we determined that the Opportunities for Ohioans with Disabilities (Ohio) had adequate internal controls to ensure that the data it reported to the Rehabilitation Services Administration (RSA) were complete; however, it did not have adequate internal controls to ensure that the data it reported in its Case Services Report were accurate and adequately supported. Specifically, we found that Ohio (1) lacked policies and procedures to require verification of the data entered into participants’ case files and (2) lacked an adequate monitoring process to ensure that data were accurate and required documentation was maintained in participant case files. In addition, our testing of the data that Ohio reported to RSA found a significant number of incorrect and unverifiable data entries used to calculate Ohio’s performance indicator results. Consequently, we have no assurance that the performance indicator results that RSA calculated were reliable.
