This report provides the results of a DOJ Office of the Inspector General audit review of how CAP Services used Victims of Crime Act (VOCA) funds.
This audit by the U.S. Department of Justice Office of the Inspector General reviewed how CAP Services used Victims of Crime Act (VOCA) funds to assist crime victims and assessed whether the company accounted for these funds in compliance with select award requirements, terms, and conditions. The auditors concluded that CAP Services used VOCA funds appropriately to provide services to victims of domestic violence and sexual assault and accounted for the funds in compliance with requirements, terms, and conditions. The auditors found no indications that CAP Services was not providing services and determined that CAP Services implemented adequate financial management controls and properly spent tested VOCA funds on allowable subaward costs. The OJP provided funds to the Wisconsin Department of Justice to make subawards to support victim assistance programs in the state of Wisconsin. The Wisconsin Department of Justice awarded $1,708,145 in crime victim assistance funds to CAP Services under three separate subawards between October 2021 and October 2022. The purposes of two of the subawards were to provide services to victims of crime to include counseling, shelter, medical and court accompaniment, and assistance with crime victim compensation applications. The other subaward was focused solely on providing victim-based services to members of the local minority community. As of December 31, 2022, the Wisconsin Department of Justice had reimbursed CAP Services a total of $1,114,597 for the subawards reviewed.
