1 United Sttes Government Accountbility Office Wshington, DC My 28, 2010 Congressionl Requesters Subject: Federl Funds: Fiscl Yers Obligtions, Disbursements, nd Expenditures for Selected Orgniztions Involved in Helth-Relted Activities This report responds to your request for informtion on federl funds provided for fiscl yers 2002 through 2009 to selected orgniztions involved in helth-relted ctivities nd their ffilites: 1 Advoctes for Youth, the Guttmcher Institute, 2 the Interntionl Plnned Prenthood Federtion, the Plnned Prenthood Federtion of Americ, the Popultion Council, nd the Sexulity Informtion nd Eduction Council of the United Sttes. Specificlly, you requested tht we identify the mount of federl funds provided to the selected orgniztions nd their ffilites for ech of fiscl yers 2002 through 2009 nd the sources of these federl funds (for exmple, fmily plnning grnts uthorized under Title X of the Public Helth Service Act). 3 You lso sked us to provide informtion on expenditures of federl funds reported by these orgniztions nd their ffilites. For this report, we identified (1) reported obligtions nd disbursements 4 of federl funds tht the Deprtment of Helth nd Humn Services (HHS) nd the United Sttes Agency for Interntionl Development (USAID) provided directly to the selected orgniztions nd their ffilites, 5 nd (2) expenditures 6 of federl funds reported by orgniztions nd their ffilites in instnces in which n orgniztion or n ffilite met the Office of Mngement nd Budget udit threshold nd submitted n udit report. 7 Expenditures included both funds provided directly by HHS, USAID, nd other federl entities such s the U.S. Deprtment of Housing 1 In this report, we refer to n ffilite s n orgniztion tht is ssocited with nother s subordinte, subsidiry, or member. Affilites of the selected orgniztions we reviewed operte seprtely, my be seprte legl entities from the prent orgniztion, nd my be funded directly s well s indirectly from federl gencies. 2 Formerly the Aln Guttmcher Institute U.S.C. 300 et seq. 4 The term obligtion refers to definite commitment by federl gency tht cretes legl libility to mke pyments immeditely or in the future. Agencies incur obligtions, for exmple, when they wrd grnts or contrcts to privte entities. The term disbursement refers to mounts pid by federl gencies, in csh or csh equivlents, to stisfy government obligtions. 5 GAO identified HHS nd USAID s the source of more thn 90 percent of expenditures of federl funds reported by the orgniztions nd their ffilites in fiscl yer See GAO, Federl Funds: Fiscl Yer 2001 Expenditures by Selected Orgniztions Involved in Helth-Relted Activities, GAO R (Wshington, D.C.: My 16, 2003). 6 The term expenditure refers to the ctul spending of money, lso known s n outly. 7 Orgniztions bsed in the United Sttes with expenditures of federl funds of $500,000 or more ($300,000 or more prior to 2004) nnully re required to hve either single udit or progrm-specific udit in ccordnce with the Single Audit Act, s mended, 31 U.S.C , nd implementing guidnce of the Office of Mngement nd Budget, Circulr A-133.

2 nd Urbn Development, nd funds provided indirectly to the orgniztions or their ffilites, such s funds through the Medicid progrm. 8 This informtion updtes our My 16, 2003, report tht provided informtion on fiscl yer 2001 expenditures of federl funds by the orgniztions nd their ffilites. 9 To obtin informtion on federl funds obligted for nd disbursed to the selected orgniztions nd their ffilites, the federl gencies tht provided the funds, nd the source of the funding, we interviewed officils from the federl gencies nd from the orgniztions included in our prior work bout federl funding dt. We determined tht HHS nd USAID could provide dt on obligtions nd disbursements of federl funds they provided directly to the selected orgniztions nd their ffilites from their udited finncil ccounting systems: the Pyment Mngement System nd the Phoenix System, respectively. 10 We sked HHS nd USAID to provide obligtion nd disbursement dt for ech of federl fiscl yers 2002 through These dt did not include federl funds provided indirectly to the orgniztions, such s from HHS grnts to sttes tht in turn provided the funds to these orgniztions nd USAID funding provided to other entities tht in turn provided the funds to the orgniztions in our review. Additionlly, for federl fiscl yers 2002 through 2005, complete obligtion nd disbursement dt for wrds mde through USAID s oversesbsed missions were not vilble. As result, obligtions nd disbursements in this report my understte the ctul mount of federl funds provided to the selected orgniztions nd their ffilites. For HHS, the deprtment provided dt by the gency or office tht wrded the funds s well s by HHS progrm. 11 For USAID, the gency provided generl ctegories of helth ctivities ssocited with bout 90 percent of their obligtions. We reviewed current udit opinions on the Pyment Mngement System nd the Phoenix System nd determined tht dt from these systems were sufficiently relible for our purposes. To obtin informtion on reported expenditures of federl funds by the selected orgniztions nd their ffilites for fiscl yers 2002 through 2009, we reviewed the expenditure informtion contined in publicly vilble udit reports submitted in ccordnce with the Single Audit Act, s mended, nd implementing guidnce of the Office of Mngement nd Budget, Circulr A These udit reports include expenditures of federl funds tht HHS gencies nd offices nd USAID provided both directly nd indirectly to the selected orgniztions nd their ffilites, s well s expenditures of funds provided directly nd indirectly by federl gencies other thn HHS nd USAID, such s the Deprtment of Housing nd Urbn Development, which provided grnts totling bout $4.1 million to Plnned Prenthood ffilites who reported such expenditures during the period of our review. The udit reports lso included informtion on the HHS progrm through which funding ws provided; they did not include comprble informtion for USAID. We did not obtin dt on expenditures of federl funds by orgniztions or their 8 Medicid is joint federl-stte progrm uthorized under Title XIX of the Socil Security Act tht finnces helth cre for certin ctegories of low-income individuls, including children, persons with disbilities, nd persons who re elderly. 9 GAO R. 10 We lso determined tht USAID could report vlues of contrceptive commodities shipments, including condoms, tht were provided to the orgniztions. This informtion ws not vilble through USAID s Phoenix System but could be provided seprtely. 11 HHS progrms correspond to the title of the progrm listed in the Ctlog of Federl Domestic Assistnce (CFDA): (2009). 12 Orgniztions report expenditures over vrying 12-month fiscl yers. We obtined publicly vilble udit reports from the Federl Audit Cleringhouse Web site ( tht were vilble s of the end of federl fiscl yer

3 ffilites tht did not submit such udit reports, for exmple, orgniztions tht did not meet the udit threshold. As result, expenditures in this report my understte the ctul mount of federl funds the selected orgniztions nd their ffilites spent. The expenditure informtion in these udit reports ws independently udited nd we determined tht the dt were sufficiently relible for our purposes. In ddition to the limittions described previously, gencies reported obligtions nd disbursements by federl fiscl yer while the orgniztions nd their ffilites reported expenditures by their vrying fiscl yers, so these mounts re not comprble nd cnnot be totled. Further, disbursement nd expenditure mounts cnnot be combined together becuse funds disbursed by n gency re then spent by n orgniztion; combining the two would result in counting the funds twice. We conducted our work from June 2009 through My 2010 in ccordnce with ll sections of GAO s Qulity Assurnce Frmework tht were relevnt to our objective. The frmework requires tht we pln nd perform the enggement to obtin sufficient nd pproprite evidence to meet our stted objectives nd to discuss ny limittions in our work. In summry, for the period of fiscl yers 2002 through 2009, HHS nd USAID reported obligting bout $217 million nd $347 million, respectively, to the selected orgniztions nd their ffilites we reviewed, nd disbursing bout $188 million nd $319 million, respectively, in ccordnce with these obligtions. The selected orgniztions nd their ffilites we reviewed reported spending totl of bout $967 million in federl funds. This includes funds provided directly by HHS nd USAID nd federl funds provided indirectly, such s from federl grnts to sttes tht in turn provide the funds to these orgniztions. HHS nd USAID reviewed drft of this report nd provided technicl comments, which we incorported s pproprite. In ddition, we incorported more detiled USAID dt on obligtions by ctivity ctegory tht USAID provided fter receiving the drft report for review.
