Audit raises questions about nonprofit
Submitted by bkrueger on 2008-03-13 15:41A defunct Hoke County nonprofit did a poor job keeping track of state grants and may have used some of the money on personal expenses, according to a state audit released today.
Hoke County Youth and Family Services closed in June 2006 after five years operating. It served domestic violence victims in Hoke and surrounding counties.
State Auditor Les Merritt said a review of the nonprofit's books showed that it did not keep adequate records, that its executive director made cash withdrawals shortly before the organization closed and that it owed the state back taxes, reports Dan Kane.
"After spending over $135,000 of the taxpayers' money, the organization is no longer in existence and cannot supply adequate documentation on how those funds were spent," Merritt said in a news release.
