July 2005
 Independent State Auditor's Report on Certain Activities of Goodwill
Industries of the Springfield/Hartford Area, Inc. July 1, 2000
Through June 30, 2005
During fiscal year 2005, Goodwill hired a consultant to determine
the financial viability of the agency and develop a plan to help the
agency achieve fiscal stability. However, after reviewing Goodwill's
financial records, the consultant contacted Goodwill's principal
state purchasing agency, the Department of Mental Retardation (DMR),
regarding issues it had identified during its review. Those issues
included (1) the inappropriate use of $1,216,237 in capital funds,
which the agency used to cover operating rather than capital
expenses, and (2) the agency's approximately $800,000 operating
deficit for fiscal year 2004. In response to the consultant's
concerns, DMR notified the Office of the State Auditor (OSA) and
requested that it conduct an audit of Goodwill. Accordingly, the OSA
conducted a limited scope review of Goodwill.
