MATERIAL WEAKNESSQUESTIONED COSTS

Testing of the March 31, 2025 report revealed cumulative expenditures did not match underlying accounting records, indicating no effective controls to ensure accuracy. Questioned Costs: Total cumulative expenditures were underreported by $271,749. Context: The Town submitted Project and Expenditure Reports that did not tie to underlying accounting records. Cause: Expenditures were underreported due to incorrect report parameters used to generate supporting documentation used in the report preparation and inadequate review controls. Effect: Inaccurate reporting could result in misrepresentation of progress in program/project status and eligible expenditures to date. Without proper controls in place over reporting, inaccurate project information could be reported and not detected by the Town. Repeat Finding: No Recommendation: We recommend the Town strengthen processes and internal controls over grant expenditure reporting to ensure accurate data and proper review before submission. Views of Responsible Officials: Management agrees with this finding.
