We conducted a performance audit of the Michigan Arts and Culture Council (Council) for the period of October 1, 2020 through September 30, 2023. Based on our review, we determined the Council met program requirements for each award and generally complied with award criteria. However, we identified opportunities for improvement in the Council’s subawarding and award management procedures and controls, and issues with select subrecipient costs. We provided 12 recommendations to address the report findings – five to the Council and seven to the Arts Endowment. We believe these recommendations, if implemented, will help ensure the Council meets Federal and Arts Endowment requirements and better manages its awards.
