State Audit Finds Stimulus 'Fraud, Waste, Abuse' - News Story - WSB Atlanta
State auditors went through emails and financial records from the DHS from 2009 and 2010. The same information was requested by Channel 2 Action News for an investigation in November, but Channel 2 producers were told a copy of the documents would cost $174,000.
The documents revealed DHS mismanaged millions of federal stimulus dollars meant to create jobs in Georgia, according to auditors.
“Apparent fraud, waste and abuse in low-income jobs program likely resulted from mismanagement and weak controls at the central office,” the report said in its opening paragraph.
