# County Audit Reveals More Questionable Contracting Under Imprisoned Ex-Supervisor Andrew Do > An OC internal audit released Aug. 12, 2026 documents additional questionable pandemic-era contracting under imprisoned former Supervisor Andrew Do; the Board of Supervisors is pursuing whether it can subpoena vendor financial records, with multiple contractors already referred to the OCDA. - Canonical: https://ocint.app/situation/oc-andrew-do-contracting-audit-2026-08 - Markdown: https://ocint.app/situation/oc-andrew-do-contracting-audit-2026-08.md - JSON: https://ocint.app/api/situations/oc-andrew-do-contracting-audit-2026-08 - Status: developing - As of: 2026-09-06T04:30:28.221+00:00 - Started: 2026-08-12T17:00:00+00:00 - Cities: Countywide - Publisher: OCINT (https://ocint.app) ## Who / What / Where / When / Why **Who:** Former Supervisor Andrew Do (imprisoned for federal bribery); former HCA Director Dr. Clayton Chau; former CEO Frank Kim; Supervisors Janet Nguyen and Vicente Sarmiento; County Counsel Leon Page; vendors Bridgecreek Realty, 360 Health, and Mercy Pharmacy. **What:** An internal audit (Weaver Phase 2) documents 681 pandemic-era contracts worth $1.7 billion under former Supervisor Andrew Do, flagging missing documentation, backdated contracts, and suppressed conflict-of-interest warnings. The Board is now seeking subpoena authority over non-compliant vendors. **Where:** Orange County government, countywide; specific grants include a Little Saigon outdoor-dining award to Bridgecreek Realty. **When:** Pandemic-era contracts (2020–2021) are under review; the Weaver Phase 2 report was released Aug. 12, 2026; the Board discussed subpoena authority on Aug. 25, 2026. **Why:** Staff conflict-of-interest concerns about contractors linked to Do's daughter were reportedly dismissed by senior administrators; auditors found missing invoices, no-invoice grants, and work billed before contracts were signed. ## Narrative ## Current Status The Orange County Board of Supervisors continues to grapple with the fallout from the Weaver Phase 2 audit report, released Aug. 12, 2026, which documented extensive pandemic-era contracting irregularities tied to imprisoned former Supervisor Andrew Do. As of late August, supervisors are seeking legal authority to compel uncooperative vendors to produce financial documentation, and at least three contractors have been referred to the Orange County District Attorney. ## Audit Scope and Key Findings The Weaver Phase 2 report reviewed 681 contracts worth approximately **$1.7 billion**. Among the most significant findings: - A **$500,000 Little Saigon outdoor-dining grant** to Bridgecreek Realty was issued with no invoices required. - **Eight contracts totaling $10.7 million** were executed months after the work had already begun. - **Mercy Pharmacy** invoiced $748,720 for 2021 vaccination services without required supporting documentation. - Former HCA Director **Dr. Clayton Chau** and former CEO **Frank Kim** are cited for dismissing staff concerns about conflicts of interest involving contractors connected to Do's daughter. [Voice of OC](https://voiceofoc.org/2026/08/audit-reveals-more-questionable-spending-under-oc-supervisor-imprisoned-for-corruption/) additionally reported that conflict-of-interest warnings reached the county CEO's office early and were quashed. The full Weaver review ultimately covers approximately **2,552 contracts valued at $4.3 billion**, to be examined across four phases through the end of 2026. ## Board Response At an Aug. 25 meeting, Supervisor Janet Nguyen asked County Counsel Leon Page whether the Board can subpoena — or authorize auditors to subpoena — receipts and bank records from vendors that have still not produced documentation. Supervisors Nguyen and Sarmiento reported that **Bridgecreek Realty, 360 Health, and Mercy Pharmacy** have been referred to the OCDA. ## Background Andrew Do is currently serving a federal prison sentence for bribery. The current audit findings extend a broader corruption scandal that has shadowed OC county government since Do's conviction. The investigation into pandemic-era spending decisions made during his tenure as supervisor remains active across multiple fronts — criminal, civil, and administrative. ## Primary sources 1.
