What happened
The Rhode Island Auditor General's June 24, 2026 report on the state's fiscal 2025 financial statements lists 28 findings considered significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting, one compliance finding and 14 management comments. The report attributes some misstatements to the state's transition to a new ERP system. A separate fiscal 2025 Single Audit summary reports $7.05 billion in federal award expenditures, including about $4.3 billion in Medicaid, and says controls over Medicaid provider screening, enrollment and revalidation should be improved.
