An analysis of disbursements posted to the Cardinal System indicates that there were 316 payments made under the program during the 18/19 fiscal year for a total of $28.5 million dollars. The 15 largest localities (also 15 largest payments) received 15 million (Fairfax County received $3.6 million). There were 144 payments of $10,000, which appears to be the smallest grant award received by any locality. Generally, auditing this program in larger localities seems appropriate, but the additional cost to audit the program in smaller localities is probably not terribly cost effective. I am wondering if a threshold should be established similar to the federal single audit thresholds. Perhaps require audits of this program if a locality received over $300k. This would cover about 16.5 million of program disbursements. Over $100k would cover approx 21.5 million. Thanks.
