Executive Summary
In accordance with Section 12 of Chapter 11 of the Massachusetts General Laws, the Office of the State Auditor has conducted a performance audit of the Massachusetts District Attorney Association (MDAA) for the period July 1, 2014 through June 30, 2017.
In this performance audit, we examined MDAA’s administration of funding that was appropriated to the association to improve the retention rate of Assistant District Attorneys (ADAs) with three or more years of experience and to increase the minimum starting salaries of entry-level ADAs statewide. In addition, we sought to determine what impact, if any, this funding had on improving the retention rates of ADAs with at least three years of experience.
Below is a summary of our finding and our recommendations, with links to each page listed.
MDAA did not ensure that all the funding that was appropriated to improve the retention rates of certain ADAs was used for this purpose. |
