A nonprofit paid about $350,000 by the county to run youth alcohol and drug prevention classes kept incomplete financial records, lacked internal controls over cash, and did not encrypt computers holding client personal information. The Auditor-Controller says Public Health should consider flagging the agency in the county contractor alert database if problems are not fixed.
