State Auditor, R. Thomas Wagner, Jr., has released the Developmental Disabilities Council Special Investigation Report.

In October 2017, the Office of Auditor of Accounts (AOA) received complaints alleging that the Director of the Developmental Disabilities Council (the Council) was violating State procurement and travel policies and procedures.  As a result of these concerns, AOA opened an investigation to review procurement and travel conducted by the Council during Fiscal Years ended June 30, 2015, 2016, and 2017.  Through this investigation, AOA was able to substantiate or partially substantiate nine of ten allegations and conclude that the Council failed to consistently follow State, federal, and internal procurement and travel rules.
