ANC 8C: Small Money, Same Problems
Advisory Neighborhood Commissions are the most local level of government in DC — volunteer commissioners with small budgets meant to serve their neighborhoods. ANC 8C misappropriated its funds through improper expenditures and missing documentation. The dollar amount is tiny compared to other findings, but the pattern is identical to what happens with billions: weak controls, no oversight, money gone.

DC Public Schools: $125 Million Exposed to Fraud, Waste, and Abuse
A DC Auditor investigation found that DC Public Schools' financial controls were so weak that $125 million in funds were exposed to fraud, waste, and abuse. Procurement rules were not followed. Payments were made without proper documentation. Basic segregation of duties was missing.

DGS Can't Track Its Own Work Orders. $35 Million in Question.
DGS maintains DC's government buildings — schools, offices, recreation centers. The DC Auditor found that the agency couldn't properly track work orders: incomplete documentation, unauthorized work, and inadequate oversight of the contractors it was paying $35 million to perform maintenance and repairs.

A Billion Dollars for Affordable Housing. Where Did It Go?
DC's Housing Production Trust Fund was created to build affordable housing. Over two decades it received more than $1 billion in public money. A 2021 audit found systemic mismanagement: loans went unrepaid, affordable units were lost, and projects with low scores were funded over higher-ranked ones — with no documented justification.
Half a Billion in COVID Money Spent Without Council Approval
When COVID hit, DC received hundreds of millions in federal relief. The DC government spent approximately $470 million of it without getting legally required approval from the DC Council. The auditor found no evidence the money was wasted — but the process that's supposed to ensure accountability was bypassed entirely.

Events DC Miscalculated Its Books. It Owes DC $68.7 Million.
Events DC — the agency that runs the convention center and manages the city's sports and entertainment venues — got its math wrong on how much cash it owed back to DC. The error: $68.7 million. That money should have gone to the District's General Fund. Instead, Events DC kept it.

DC Healthcare Alliance: $85 Million with No Fraud Detection
DC's Healthcare Alliance program serves some of the city's most vulnerable residents: low-income, uninsured adults. The DC Office of the Inspector General found that the program's fraud detection systems are so inadequate that $85 million in annual spending has essentially no safeguard against provider fraud, eligibility fraud, or claims abuse.
