Connecticut audit said The Prosperity Foundation could not adequately substantiate substantial consultant and pass-through spending
A final Connecticut Department of Economic and Community Development audit reviewed approximately $1.1 million provided to The Prosperity Foundation through Blue Hills Civic Association. Reporting on the audit said a substantial portion of the costs, including $450,000 in pass-through funding to third parties, lacked adequate documentation showing how the money was ultimately used. Auditors also raised oversight concerns about $60,000 sent back to Blue Hills Civic Association.
