IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) - Iowa's auditor is warning that the governor's decision to spend $21 million in federal pandemic relief funds on a new executive branch software system would not be allowed and should be abandoned.
State Auditor Rob Sand said that using the federal money to pay for Workday, a cloud-based program for the executive branch's human resources and finances, is an inappropriate use under the law.
He says that if the money isn't redeployed for a different purpose, Iowa taxpayers could be on the hook to repay the federal government $21 million later on.
Sand said his conclusion was shared by the Treasury Department's Office of Inspector General, which is responsible for overseeing the appropriate use of those funds.
