ROCHESTER, N.Y. (WROC) — The results of the Community Resource Collaborative's audit have been released by the Monroe County Office of Public Integrity. The audit began after ARPA funding was suspended for CRC. County Executive Bello said there was "fiscal mismanagement" and CRC dismissed an employee. This led to the contract between Monroe County and CRC being terminated in May. The purpose of the audit was to decide if the county followed policy and procedure, expenditures were authorized, reports were timely, and deliverables were defined and met. According to the Office of Public Integrity, they found multiple issues — including the potential for conflict of interest, opportunities for double dipping, vague deliverables, expense review roles and allowable costs not being defined, and more. One point was they discovered that Monroe County paid over $200,000 for costs that were considered questionable or unallowable. The reimbursement-based system was not enforced and expenses were not documented properly. The Office of Public Integrity shared some recommendations for CRC and the county, including enhancing a database, improving budgetary controls, adhering to conflict of interest policies, and having monitoring performed by Monroe County.
