The report addresses: (1) selected states' and localities' uses of Recovery Act funds; (2) the approaches taken by the selected states and localities to ensure accountability for Recovery Act funds; and (3) states' plans to evaluate the impact of Recovery Act funds. The auditor focused on 16 states and certain localities in those jurisdictions as well as the District of Columbia -- representing about 65% of the U.S. population and two-thirds of the intergovernmental federal assistance available.
