Finding No. 2024-002 – Reserve Account Funding – Other Matter Criteria: The Project’s reserve account must be fully funded in accordance with the budget as approved by USDA-RD and maintained in a separate bank account. Condition: During our audit testing, we noted that while the Project maintained a separate bank account for reserve funds, it was not funded in accordance with the budget. Effect: Reserve bank account is underfunded by approximately $20,000. Cause: Budgeted transfers were not made before year-end to ensure the account is fully funded. Recommendation: The Project should implement controls to ensure that the reserve bank account is fully funded. Reporting Views of Responsible Officials: Management agrees with the finding, see the Corrective Action Plan.

Corrective Action Plan

Management acknowledges the finding regarding the replacement reserve account not being funded at the minimum level required by the USDA‑RD approved budget. To address this issue, the Project will work to make a deposit to fully restore the replacement reserve to the required threshold in accordance with USDA‑RD guidelines. In addition, we will continue to monitor reserve balances throughout the year and communicate with USDA‑RD if significant variances arise.
