Decisions About the Use of Supplemental Federal Funds (Department of Administration)
As requested by the Joint Legislative Audit Committee, we have completed a limited-scope review of how the Department of Administration (DOA) used supplemental federal funds provided in response to the public health emergency. DOA paid $2.2 billion to other state agencies and spent $1.5 billion on its own programs. As of June 30, 2022, $1.8 billion in discretionary funds were remaining. In December 2022, DOA indicated it had plans for using most of these funds.

Review of Broward County’s Expenditure of CARES Act Funds
The OIG’s review found that the county spent its $340,744,702.30 of CRF proceeds on Broward Sheriff’s Office public safety payroll expenditures in accordance with the law and guidance from Treasury. Although we found that the county was in compliance, we did identify an inadvertent misspending of $72,632.42 that the county subsequently corrected. Additionally, we discovered that CRF proceeds may have been used for personnel benefits that Department of Treasury may not consider eligible.
