  Indiana Secretary of State Diego Morales has awarded millions of dollars in contracts to IT companies without competitive bidding, while also receiving donations from the companies, and is seeking additional funding for increased staffing and modernizing online services.

The article from WISH-TV discusses a report by Indiana's State Auditor, Tera Klutz, which highlights significant issues with the state's IT contracts. The audit revealed that the Indiana Office of Technology (IOT) has not effectively managed or overseen IT contracts, leading to a lack of transparency and accountability. Key findings include the absence of a comprehensive inventory of IT contracts, inadequate monitoring of contractor performance, and a lack of clear policies for contract renewals and extensions. This mismanagement has resulted in potential financial losses and inefficiencies. The audit recommends that IOT should develop a centralized system for tracking contracts, improve oversight, and ensure that all contracts are competitively bid to prevent overpayments and ensure value for money. The Secretary of State's office has acknowledged these issues and is working on implementing the suggested reforms to enhance contract management practices.
