CLOSEOUT MEMORANDUM
We requested and received the grant's general ledgers fiom the institution. We selected 236
general ledger entries for which we requested and received supporting documentation. Analysis of
the provided records revealed certain unsupported and otherwise potentially questionable costs, but
no evidence of wrongdoing. In the meantime, the institution's A-133 audit revealed significant
internal control issues and questioned costs. Since the Office of Audit (OoA) was assessing whether
to conduct additional audit work as a result of the A-133 audit, we referred the information we had
gleaned to OoA and recommended that an audit be performed.
Because we could find no evidence of wrongdoing, and the anonymous complainant provided
none, this case is closed.
