INTRODUCTION

 

      The Violence Prevention Authority was established to address the prevention of all forms of interpersonal violence, including family violence (child abuse, domestic violence, elder abuse), youth and gang violence, sexual assault, and hate violence.

 

FINDING, CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION

 

FAILURE TO FILE REQUIRED INFORMATION

 

The Illinois Violence Prevention Authority (Authority) did not file required information with the Secretary of State regarding the agency’s organization, information requests, and rulemaking.  (Finding 1, page 11)

 

      We recommended the Authority file with the Secretary of State a current description of the agency’s organization, current procedures for information requests, and a current description of the agency’s rulemaking procedures. 

 

      Authority officials concurred and responded that the required information will be filed. 

 

 

AUDITORS’ OPINION

 

      We conducted a compliance examination of the Authority as required by the Illinois State Auditing Act.  We have not audited any financial statements of the Authority for the purpose of expressing an opinion because the agency does not, nor is it required to, prepare financial statements.
