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 Supreme Judicial Court (SJC) for the period October 1, 2019 through September 30, 2021.
In this performance audit, we determined whether SJC (1) established a five-year strategic plan, (2) established a statewide multidisciplinary task force, and (3) met the cost-sharing1 requirement of the federal Children’s Bureau’s “Program Instruction” guidance for the State Court Improvement Program grant.
Our audit revealed no significant instances of noncompliance by SJC that must be reported under generally accepted government auditing standards.
1. Cost-sharing means that the program’s cost is not fully paid with federal funds but instead the federal government reimburses the state for funds expended on a pro-rata basis.
