Auditor General DePasquale Commends Pa. Commission on Crime & Delinquency for Following Audit Recommendations
HARRISBURG (March 15, 2018) – Auditor General Eugene DePasquale today said his latest audit shows the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency (PCCD) is continuing to use his audit recommendations to improve its functionality.
“It is encouraging to see that the commission took my recommendations seriously in both 2013 and in 2015 and is continuing to improve its overall effectiveness,” DePasquale said. “The Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency is an example of how the audit results can be used to enhance government processes for the benefit of Pennsylvania residents.”
The prior audit of PCCD, released in 2015, included two recommendations to enhance its Office of Victim Services (OVS) on-site monitoring tools and training processes.
“My team followed up on those previous issues and both prior recommendations were implemented by the commission,” DePasquale said.
DePasquale’s current audit covers July 1, 2016 to June 30, 2017. The 17-page report shows the PCCD accurately stated its financial information and complied with applicable laws and regulations regarding the Education and Training Accounts of the Sheriffs/Deputy Sheriffs and Constables.
DePasquale made one recommendation in the current audit to fix a control weakness related to the processing of invoices paid out of the Constables’ Education and Training Account.
“I commend the commission’s management for jumping into action and immediately implementing changes to improve its invoice review and approval process,” DePasquale said. “Government agencies should always be reviewing and updating processes and procedures. I will continue to work together with the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency to improve its functionality.”
