Audit Results In Move For New Controls At Los Angeles County DCFS Children’s Trust Fund
Poor fiscal controls at a Children’s Trust Fund Unit (CTFU) run by the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) resulted in unaccounted for and misspent donations intended to help youth in foster care. The problems were found in a review of the unit conducted by the county controller. On May 16, 2017, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors approved motions to explore a new, fiscally-sound model through which donations can be accepted and distributed.
The supervisors directed the county’s Chief Executive Office (CEO) to coordinate with County Counsel and DCFS in consultation . . .
