Audit of Administrative Functions – Legislature of the Virgin Islands

The Office of the Virgin Islands Inspector General and the Office of Inspector General of the Department of the Interior have  released their joint audit report on the administrative functions of the Legislature of the Virgin Islands. We found that the Legislature is not using sound business practices in its stewardship of public funds and resources, and that there is an absence of transparency, accountability, and documented procedure to prevent fraud, waste, and mismanagement. Specifically, there are a number of weaknesses related to improper use of allotted funds, such as cash advances and employee bonuses, procurement of goods and services, and security of sensitive equipment.
