Our audit of the Victim of Crime Act federal program, administered by the Department of Criminal Justice Services (Criminal Justice Services), for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023, found:

 

• proper recording and reporting of all transactions, in all material respects, in the Commonwealth’s accounting and reporting system; and

 

• two matters involving internal control and its operation necessary to bring to management’s attention that also represent instances of noncompliance with applicable laws and regulations or other matters that are required to be reported.

 

In the section titled “Internal Control and Compliance Findings and Recommendations” we have included our assessment of the conditions and causes resulting in the internal control and compliance findings identified through our audit as well as recommendations for addressing those findings. Our assessment does not remove management’s responsibility to perform a thorough assessment of the conditions and causes of the findings and developing and appropriately implementing adequate corrective actions to resolve the findings as required by the Department of Accounts in Section 10205 – Agency Response to APA Audit of the Commonwealth Accounting Policies and Procedures
