Why It Matters


To best serve the children in our care, we must utilize the tools available to uphold program integrity and increase program participation and effectiveness. By utilizing the audit funds available, State Agencies can best accomplish their fiscal year requirements and serve those in their programs. We must work together at all levels to provide the best care and nutrition to those we serve.
