The audit found that the North Carolina Department of Public Safety (DPS) did not design and implement procedures to ensure that Hurricane Florence Disaster Recovery Funds were spent in accordance with Hurricane Florence Recovery legislation or that programs funded with Hurricane Florence Disaster Recovery Funds were achieving their legislatively intended results.

As a result, there was an increased risk that recipients could have misused funds without the misuse being detected and corrected timely. Additionally, DPS was limited in its ability to know whether funds were achieving legislatively intended results and to take timely corrective action, if necessary.

Details about each item are provided in the Findings and Recommendations section of the report. DPS did not agree with the findings and recommendations in the report. As a result, the report includes a State Auditor’s Response to ensure readers have complete and accurate information and are not misled.
