Audit of COVID-era contracts in OC finds millions awarded with little accounting
An audit of COVID-era contracts in Orange County revealed millions of dollars in grants and funds were awarded by top county officials without competitive bidding or proper accounting. The report notes examples, such as a $500,000 grant to Bridgecreek Realty Investment Corp., that lacked supporting documentation like invoices or receipts. Furthermore, the audit detailed potential conflicts of interest involving funds given to a nonprofit connected to Andrew Do’s adult daughter.
