DOJ OIG: Review of Department of Justice Grants to the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, Inc. (ACORN) and its Affiliated Organizations
“In response to a congressional request, the Office of the Inspector General (OIG) conducted this review to determine whether the Department of Justice (DOJ) had provided grants to the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, Inc. (ACORN). In our review, we examined whether: (1) ACORN applied for federal funds through DOJ-administered grant programs, (2) ACORN received federal funds through DOJ-administered grant programs, (3) controls were placed on the use of DOJ grant funds awarded to ACORN, and (4) DOJ conducted any reviews or audits of the use of DOJ grant funds awarded to ACORN. We also conducted the same analysis for organizations we determined to be ACORN affiliates.”
