MATERIAL WEAKNESS Item #2020-001 ? allowable costs/costs principles Criteria: Internal controls should be in place that provide reasonable assurance that cost allocations are correctly recorded after proper management approval. Condition: Payroll allocations were not properly allocated due to a calculation error. Cause: Controls in place that require review and approval of the calculation were not followed. Effect or Potential Effect: Because of the failure to follow review and approval procedures from the proper level of management, costs were incorrectly allocated without knowledge of management. Context: A sample of 25 payroll expense items were selected for audit. The test found 9 items that were not in compliance with allowable costs/cost principles totaling $35,727. Our sample was a statistically valid sample. Recommendation: A policy/process for reporting accounting errors should be developed and implemented. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions: Management agrees with the recommendation and will implement it immediately. DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES Item #2020-001 - State Opioid Response Grants - CFDA No. 93.788; Passed through Illinois Department of Health, Grant No. 43CYC03498 and 43CYC03308; Grant period - Year ended June 30, 2020. Material Weakness: As discussed at Finding 2020-001, payroll allocations were not properly allocated due to a calculation error. As a result, the major program was underbilled. Because of the failure to follow review and approval procedures from the proper level of management, costs may be incorrectly allocated to a federal program without the approval or knowledge of management. A policy/process for reporting accounting errors should be developed and implemented.
