Audit of nonprofit institute found misappropriated funds | Louisiana
SUMMARY: The Institute of Women and Ethnic Studies faces potential fraud of $334,930, revealed in an audit by the Louisiana Legislative Auditor’s Office. The institute, which received nearly $1.8 million in government grants, had a significant material weakness in internal controls due to misappropriations by its former chief operating officer (COO). Fraudulent activities included unauthorized personal expenses charged to institute credit cards, inflated payroll, and payments for personal events. Despite findings, the COO has not been formally charged, and no restitution claims were made, though she is no longer with the institute. Management has since updated policies to enhance oversight and security.
