Grant Audit Reports

EAC OIG audited $184.1 million in funds received by the Texas Secretary of State under the Help America Vote Act. The objectives of the audit were to determine whether Texas (1) expended HAVA payments in accordance with the Act and related administrative requirements and (2) complied with the HAVA requirements for replacing punch card or lever voting machines, for establishing an election fund, for appropriating a 5 percent match for requirements payments, and for maintaining state expenditures for elections at a level not less than expended in fiscal year 2000.

EAC OIG, through a contract with Department of Interior OIG, audited $8.7 million in funds received by the California Office of the Secretary of State under the Help America Vote Act. The objectives of the audit were to (1) identify those transactions in which funding was used for an unallowable purpose or without required documentation or support; and (2) estimate the total amount of money, if any, that the Office spent on unallowable purposes or that was not supported by required documentation.
