The Honorable, The Legislature:
S675
In follow-up to previous audit work, we reviewed the use of funds the Wisconsin Department of Justice (DOJ) is awarded in negotiated settlement agreements and court judgments related to its successful prosecution of consumer protection and antitrust cases. From fiscal year (FY) 2004-05 through FY 2008-09, DOJ's receipts from such cases totaled nearly $11.8 million and included $3.6 million for distribution to injured parties or as otherwise specified by the settlement or judgment, and $8.1 million that may be used at the discretion of the Attorney General.
Over the past five years, DOJ has expended $5.1 million of the discretionary receipts, which are deposited to its gifts, grants, and proceeds appropriation. Expenditures from that appropriation include approximately $3.4 million to supplement DOJ's own operations or help it meet lapse requirements enacted through legislation. As of June 30, 2009, DOJ's gifts, grants, and proceeds appropriation had a balance of nearly $4.2 million.
