The objectives of the audit were to determine if the State of Indiana distributed and spent State Homeland Security Program and Urban Areas Security Initiative grant funds effectively and efficiently and in compliance with applicable Federal laws and regulations. We also addressed the extent to which grant funds enhanced Indiana’s ability to prevent, prepare for, protect against, and respond to natural disasters, acts of terrorism, and other manmade disasters. The audit included a review of approximately $57.3 million in State Homeland Security Program and Urban Areas Security Initiative grants awarded to Indiana during fiscal years 2008 through 2010.
