Care Food Program.
We found four departures from finance-related legal provisions:

State Grants and Handicapped Preschool Incentives Programs.

employee payroll expenses charged to Special Education Programs.
- The department does not properly record budgeted expenditures on the statewide
accounting system for Handicapped Preschool Incentives.
- The department did not resolve subrecipient audit issues timely.
