The Bureau of County Audits are involved in the following types of audits:

District Courts and County Row Offices– Pennsylvania’s 516 district courts and 429 county row offices collect fines, costs, fees, taxes, and surcharges. A portion of those collections are remitted to the Commonwealth and the bureau determines whether the offices properly assessed and remitted the funds due.

Liquid Fuels Examinations– A portion of state taxes on liquid fuels (such as gasoline and diesel) is shared with counties and municipalities. The funds must be used to maintain and repair streets, roads, and bridges in accordance with Department of Transportation regulations. The bureau determines whether the counties and municipalities properly reported their expenditure of the funds and complied with regulations.

Children and Youth Services– The Pennsylvania Department of Human Services (DHS) provides funds to counties for the care of at-risk children. The counties report their expenditure of those state funds and related federal and county funds using fiscal reports developed by DHS. The bureau determines whether the expenditures reported are allowable and fairly stated, and whether the counties followed DHS fiscal regulations. DHS is responsible for evaluating the services provided by counties.

Tobacco Settlement Funds– DHS reimburses hospitals for a portion of their costs of providing care to uninsured individuals, with the funding coming from a 1998 multi-state settlement with tobacco companies.
