About This Audit
In March 2025, the fiscal reports for Lehigh County’s Children and Youth Agency were amended and submitted for review to the Lehigh County Executive, Phillips Armstrong, following a certification of commonwealth expenditures incurred during fiscal years 2021-2022 and 2022-2023. This engagement, based on the Act 148 Invoice Packages, aimed to ensure compliance with state provisions for children residing within the county. Adjustments from the fiscal review reported a $200 amount due to the county for 2021-2022 and no amount due for 2022-2023, as expenditures exceeded allocations. The results were discussed with agency management and forwarded to the DHS Bureau of Financial Operations for further review, with an opportunity for appeal provided by DHS if necessary. The cooperation of Lehigh County’s officials and agency staff is appreciated.
