The Borough did not contact MLARS prior to utilizing Department of Justice Equitable sharing funds for various minor renovation expenses. Questioned costs: $47,745 Context: During our audit testing, we noted that the Police Department was required to obtain approval from MLARS prior to utilizing Department of Justice equitable sharing funds for all improvement and expansion projects no matter how minor. Correspondence with the Department of Justice confirmed that the questioned costs would not have been approved nor can they retroactively be approved. Effect: By not obtaining prior approval from MLARS for all improvement and expansion projects in accordance with the compliance requirements of the Federal OMB Compliance Supplement for Single Audits of State and Local Governments, the funds were spent on projects which would not have been approved by MLARS.
