Audit of Kerry youth services charity finds 'high risk' practices in some financial controls

The audit was carried out by Tusla to establish if funds it provided to Kerry Diocesan Youth Service were being spent appropriately and in compliance with service agreements.
An audit of a leading provider of youth services in Kerry has found the adequacy and effectiveness of internal controls at the charity is “unsatisfactory”.
The audit of the Kerry Diocesan Youth Service (KDYS) made 29 adverse findings against the Killarney-based voluntary youth work organisation, including five categorised as “high risk”.
