Desk Review of the Government of Guam’s Use of Coronavirus Relief Fund Proceeds

Castro recommends Treasury OIG follow-up with Guam's management to confirm the transactions noted as unsupported expenditures within the Direct Payments greater than or equal to $50,000, Aggregate Reporting less than $50,000, and Aggregate Payments to Individuals can be supported. If support is not provided, Treasury OIG should recoup the funds or request that Guam management provide support for replacement expenses, not previously charged, that were eligible during the CRF period of performance. Further, based on the Government of Guam's responsiveness to Treasury OIG's requests and its ability to provide to provide sufficient documentation and/or replace unsupported and ineligible transactions charged to the CRF with valid expenditures, Castro recommends Treasury OIG determine the feasibility of conducting an audit for the Direct Payments greater than or equal to $50,000, Aggregate Reporting less than $50,000, and Aggregate Payments to Individuals payment types.
