Legislative Audit Bureau
April 4, 2003
The Honorable, The Legislature:
We have completed a review of the Office of Justice Assistance's (OJA's) administration of the Juvenile Accountability Incentive Block Grants program at the request of several legislators, including Representative David Cullen, who first requested it. The purpose of the program is to assist states and localities in making delinquent juveniles accountable for the crimes they commit. From the program's inception in 1998 through September 2001, the State received $17.3 million in federal grant funds, and an additional $1.1 million in interest earnings from these funds.
We found serious deficiencies in OJA's management of the program, which resulted from a noncompetitive grant award process, inadequate oversight by the 27-member Juvenile Justice Commission, and the significant discretion allowed OJA's former Executive Director. We question a total of $279,033 in expenditures that were funded primarily by the program and are either inconsistent with its purpose or excessive for a state agency. This amount includes $149,784 in expenditures incurred during fiscal year 2001-02, which are reported in our 2001-02 single audit report (report 03-5).
From federal fiscal year 1997-98 through federal fiscal year 2001-02, the Department of Corrections was awarded $3.7 million in Juvenile Accountability Incentive Block Grant funds without consideration of statewide priorities, which had not been developed. We include a recommendation for OJA to establish a competitive process for distributing all program funds to local government and state agencies.
We appreciate the courtesy and cooperation extended to us by OJA staff during our review.
Sincerely,
Janice Mueller
State Auditor
State of Wisconsin
