About This Audit
The Blair County Children and Youth Agency has completed amended fiscal reports for the fiscal years 2020-2021 and 2021-2022, as mandated by Act 148 of 1976. This engagement aimed to verify actual commonwealth expenditures for children residing in Blair County. Adjustments made during the review resulted in financial gains for the county, increasing agency expenditures by $454,038 in 2020-2021 and $91,131 in 2021-2022, with corresponding revenues increasing by $2,250. Three main findings include inadequate monitoring of invoices, failure in quarterly reconciliations, and not adhering to legal service contracts. These findings were discussed with the agency and reported to the DHS for review. The Department of Human Services will decide on any adjustments and settlements during their process. You will be notified of any financial impact or adjustments related to future Act 148 payments.
