The U.S. Department of Justice is investigating the financial practices of a USAID contractor and its nonprofit affiliate, Devex can reveal.
DT Global and DT Institute have both received inquiries from the Justice Department and are cooperating with the investigation, according to a lawyer advising both organizations, who spoke to Devex and confirmed the inquiry.
The investigation appears to be focused on whether direct and indirect costs related to federal contracts and grants were appropriately allocated between the two organizations, according to the lawyer, Robert Nichols of government contracts law firm Nichols Liu, and to an internal memo obtained by Devex.
