Auditors have found what they are calling "significant" deficiencies in controlling revenue, comp time for employees and procedures for purchasing in the Attorney General's office, the Connecticut Post reported.
Among the problems found by the auditors was a pattern of lax management, including delays in depositing cash receipts in interest-bearing bank accounts, according to the paper. There were also problems controlling comp time, which included no written documentation of compensatory time for at least three employees.
Auditors also found Richard Blumenthal's office exceeded contracted amounts for costs of outside legal services, the Connecticut Post said.
Blumenthal's office responded to the paper by saying auditors found only isolated instances of administrative lapses.
