MATERIAL WEAKNESSREPEAT OF 2018-001

2019-001 Material Audit Adjustments Condition and Criteria: We proposed an audit adjustment to record the land transfer in lieu of foreclosure on an IRP loan as of June 30, 2019. Cause: Management had not reconciled and adjusted all accounts prior to beginning the audit. Effect: The effects of the audit adjustment is as follows: ? Assets were increased by $91,000 ? Deferred inflow of resources were increased by $91,000 Recommendation: In order to make the financial reports generated by the accounting system as meaningful as possible, the Organization should reconcile accounts to supporting documentation on a monthly basis. A benefit of monthly reconciliations is that errors do not accumulate but can be identified and attributed to a particular period, which makes it easier to perform future reconciliations. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions: Management agrees with the recomendations and will reconcile and make adjustments, as necessary, to account balances throughout the year and particularly at year end.

SIGNIFICANT DEFICIENCYREPEAT OF 2018-004

There are slight variances in the current balances listed on the financial reports from Kennebec Valley Council of Governments and did not tie to supporting documentation. Criteria: In accordance with the requirements of the Intermediary Relending Program (IRP), the Organization is to prepare and submit financial reports for each of their IRP programs, which tie to the underlying supporting documentation that comes from their accounting system. Cause: Due to the lack of experienced financial personnel, the reports tested had many exceptions where the amounts reported did not tie to the underlying supporting documentation. Effect: Accounting system information was not entirely accurate and could cause reports submitted to funding sources to be inaccurate. Recommendation: The amounts are immaterial, but it is recommended to reconcile these accounts when they are updating the accounts. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions: Management has hired a full-time finance person and will have all reports reconciled to the underlying supporting documentation for the year ending June 30, 2020.
