About This Audit
In May 2025, the amended fiscal reports for Pike County Children and Youth Agency were submitted, covering fiscal years 2021-2022 and 2022-2023. These reports underwent review in compliance with Act 148 to verify and certify commonwealth expenditures on children’s behalf in the county. For fiscal year 2021-2022, a single adjustment increased revenue by $4,908 and resulted in $3,926 due to the state. For the 2022-2023 fiscal year, three adjustments raised expenditures by $1,116,676 and revenue by $3,607, leading to an $817,140 amount owed to the county. The findings were discussed in a conference on April 14, 2025, and sent to the DHS for review and settlement. The agency’s reports fairly presented the expenditures according to accounting principles. Further decisions and potential appeals regarding adjustments are pending from DHS. The cooperation of Pike County officials was appreciated in this matter.
