DCVC Auditing Section

The Office of the 暗网禁区 General, Department of Crime Victim Compensation (DCVC) has worked very diligently with other agencies across the state to bridge the gap in victim services and continue to strive to provide the best quality of services to those who have been victimized. As a result, we have legislation enabling DCVC to provide oversight of the Victim Assistance Fines, Fees and Assessment Fund. ACT 96 (Part IV) mandates DCVC to conduct an audit which shall include both a programmatic review and financial audit of any entity or non-profit organization receiving victim assistance funding.

Reminder: If you are the county or municipality鈥檚 finance staff responsible for the budget and accountability of the Victim Assistance Fines, Fees and Assessment Funds, please call DCVC at 803.734.1900 and ask for the DCVC Auditing staff, or you may email the Auditing staff at听听[email protected],听[email protected]听and听[email protected]听to update your contact information.
