Davis House Child Advocacy Center leadership has worked with the TN Comptroller’s Office to review internal controls and compliance deficiencies that were found during a recent audit spanning January 2020 through August 2024. Davis House CAC has rectified the three deficiencies reported. The Comptroller’s Office did not request a corrective action plan for Davis House CAC as it was identified in the report that many of the best practices were already in place and leadership was responsive to all requests.

Carolyn Evans, Executive Director since April 2023, has successfully implemented actions that have cut expenses, and she has re-organized operations and programs to improve efficiency across the agency.

The majority of findings occurred under executive leadership and a Board of Directors that are no longer with Davis House CAC. New Board Chair, Micah Berg, stated that the new board and Evans welcome input from the Comptroller’s Office, and “we will keep open communication with the State going forward.”

Davis House CAC leadership and the new Board of Directors is operating with strong fiscal oversight, has developed new revenue sources, and is creating a strategic financial plan to ensure the long-term health of the organization.

Davis House CAC remains committed to serving children in Williamson County who have been sexually and physically abused. An increase in reported child abuse cases this year makes our services more critical than ever. Davis House is the only child advocacy center state-mandated to serve the 21st Judicial District.

Davis House Child Advocacy Center is a 501(c)3 that provides investigative, advocacy, family support, and therapeutic services to children who have experienced sexual or physical abuse, as well as trauma-informed community education, designed to guide Williamson County residents and businesses on providing safe spaces and raising resilient children.
