Finding Text
Criteria: 45 CFR Part 1644 requires that for each case filed in court by its attorneys on behalf of a client
of a recipient, the recipient shall disclose certain information about the case in a report to be filed with
LSC semiannually.
Condition: During our audit we noted one case out of a sample of 60 cases that was not included on either
of the semiannual reports filed with LSC in 2024.
Cause: The one case noted was not captured by the Three Rivers Legal Services, Inc.’s (the Organization)
process for case disclosure until after the second semiannual report for 2024 had been filed.
Effect: The Organization did not comply with the compliance requirement in a timely manner for the one
case noted.
Questioned Costs: None
Recommendation: We recommend that the Organization review its policies and procedures for capturing
cases required to be disclosed with applicable employees to ensure that all cases for a given period are
included on the disclosure report related to the period in which they occurred.
