Desk Review of the State of Connecticut’s Use of Coronavirus Relief Fund Proceeds

Treasury OIG follow-up with Connecticut's management to confirm if the $167,633,232 noted as unsupported expenditures within the Contracts greater than or equal to $50,000, Grants greater than or equal to $50,000, Transfers greater than or equal to $50,000, Direct Payments greater than or equal to $50,000, Aggregate Reporting less than $50,000, and Aggregate Payments to Individuals payment types can be supported. If support is not provided, Treasury OIG should recoup the funds or request that Connecticut's management provide support for other eligible replacement expenses, not previously charged to CRF, that were incurred during the period of performance. Further, based on Connecticut's responsiveness to Treasury OIG's requests and management's ability to provide sufficient documentation and/or replace unsupported transactions charged to CRF with valid expenditures, Castro recommends Treasury OIG determine the feasibility of conducting an audit for the Contracts greater than or equal to $50,000, Grants greater than or equal to $50,000, Transfers greater than or equal to $50,000, Direct Payments greater than or equal to $50,000, Aggregate Reporting less than $50,000, and Aggregate Payments to Individuals payment types.

Treasury's Office of Capital Access follow-up on any CRF specific questioned costs reported in the fiscal year 2023 Single Audit Act report that was published on March 27, 2024, after Castro's desk review planning and fieldwork procedures were completed.
