DOJ OIG Releases Report on Grant to the Committee Against Domestic Abuse, Incorporated, in Mankato, Minnesota

Audit of the Office of Justice Programs Victim Assistance Funds Subawarded by the Minnesota Department of Public Safety Office of Justice Programs to the Committee Against Domestic Abuse, Incorporated, Mankato, Minnesota Read Report Department of Justice (DOJ) Acting Inspector General William M. Blier announced today the release of a report on one grant totaling $1,049,410 awarded by the Minnesota Department of Public Safety Office of Justice Programs (Minnesota OJP) to the Committee Against Domestic Abuse, Incorporated (CADA), in Mankato, Minnesota. The DOJ Office of Justice Programs (OJP) provided this funding to the Minnesota OJP, as the state administering agency, to make subawards to direct victim service providers across the state of Minnesota. As of June 2025, Minnesota OJP had reimbursed CADA a total of $742,423.   The DOJ Office of the Inspector General (OIG) found that CADA used the grant funds to provide education, advocacy, and shelter to victims of domestic and sexual violence. However, the OIG found that CADA could enhance its internal controls with written policies and procedures to help ensure adequate performance reporting and to account for funding sources separately.   The DOJ OIG made two recommendations to DOJ OJP to improve CADA's internal controls. DOJ OJP and CADA agreed with the recommendations. The Minnesota OJP did not state whether it agreed or disagreed with our recommendations; however, the Minnesota OJP's response stated it will take actions to help CADA in addressing the recommendations.
