Illinois State Treasurer Michael Frerichs marked 100-days in office with a report of accomplishments and challenges that face the office.
The analysis from Plante Moran identified questionable program expenses with the paid internship program, but noted the program has yet to be activated during the current administration.
“We are going to look at a scaled-back program that has a much greater, defined hiring process,” Frerichs said.
The report also found home-based workers lack adequate supervision and incur higher travel reimbursement costs.
The analysis finds "In general, state treasurer functions appear to meet the expectations that are defined in program material and statutory mandates."
