Our audit of the Opioid Abatement Authority (Authority) for the audit period of July 1, 2023, through December 31, 2024, found:

 

• • proper recording and reporting of all transactions, in all material respects, in the Commonwealth’s accounting and reporting system;

 

• • matters involving internal control and its operation necessary to bring to management’s attention; and

 

• • no instances of noncompliance with applicable laws and regulations or other matters that are required to be reported.

 

In the section titled “Audit Findings and Recommendations,” we have included our assessment of the conditions and causes resulting in the internal control findings identified through our audit as well as recommendations for addressing those findings.  Our assessment does not remove management’s responsibility to perform a thorough assessment of the conditions and causes of the findings and develop and appropriately implement adequate corrective actions to resolve the findings.  Those corrective actions may include additional items beyond our recommendations.
