      ab: Financial audits in federal grant programs are an important bureaucratic control technique but recently have provoked controversy. Three recent disputes in the AFDC program illustrate the delay in program review, federal efforts to shift review costs to states and tower costs through sampling of grantee operations, difficulties in decentralizing federal decision making and the need to define audit appeal procedures. This paper concludes with policy suggestions.
