Report On The Boll Weevil Eradication Program State Of Alabama

"This report encompasses a review of the use of the General Fund appropriations for boll weevil eradication in the State of Alabama. We reviewed various accounting records, independent auditors' reports and other documents for the calendar years 1997, 1998 and 1999. We interviewed various personnel at the State of Alabama Department of Agriculture and Industries, the Southeastern Boll Weevil Eradication Foundation, and United States Department of Agriculture. The General Fund appropriations reviewed were for fiscal years ending on September 30. However, the non-profit organizations administering the boll weevil eradication program maintain their financial records on a calendar year basis."--Page A.
