State Board Member Per Diem Compensation and Expense Reimbursements / Fiscal Year 2019 / Annual Review

As required by law, we completed a review of per diem compensation and expense reimbursement payments to members of State boards, commissions, councils, and advisory committees (collectively referred to as boards) for fiscal year 2019. We also followed up on the recommendations from our prior reports for fiscal years 2016 through 2018. We found that some boards still need to develop written policies and procedures for paying per diem compensation. Further, we found that some boards were not paying members in accordance with State laws and State or board policy, putting public monies at risk.
