OIG-CA-25-029 - Recommendation 6-1

Treasury OIG should follow up with Connecticut to confirm if the $18,082,583 noted as unsupported expenditures within the Direct Payments greater than or equal to $50,000 payment type can be supported. If support is not provided, Treasury OIG should recoup the funds or request Connecticut 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 its ability to provide sufficient documentation and/or replace unsupported transactions charged to CRF with valid expenditures, Treasury OIG should determine the feasibility of conducting an audit for the Direct Payments greater than or equal to $50,000 payment type.
