Louisiana Child Welfare Agency Sloppy Records Cost $2 Million

This is one of those audits you do not know how to receive.

In one breath you are stunned at the absolute boldness regarding the dismissive culture of the Child  Development Council of Acadiana, Inc, (CDCAI) for not maintaining basic communication regarding the use of federal funds.  In the next breath you are taken aback with the coldness of the OIG response and decision.

CDCAI claimed $1,155,646 to build a new central office after Hurricane Katrina then used the new building as collateral to take out loans without consulting or even reporting to the feds for more than two years.

These funds were never allocated for buildings.  It was for child welfare.

There were other funding sources in existence.  All CDCAI had to do was ask but they chose to do what they do, keep sloppy records.
