Criteria: Uniform Guidance requires a federal single audit to be submitted to the Federal Audit Clearing House (FAC) in accordance with federal guidelines within nine months of year end. Condition and Context: The financial information for the year ended December 31, 2024, included errors in certain accounts that were the result of ineffective monitoring procedures and/or closing processes throughout the year. These errors can cause misstatements in the financial statements, and in certain circumstances resulted in proposed audit adjustments. Section III – Federal Expenditures and Findings and Questioned Costs (continued) Finding 2024-003: Lateness in Submission of Single Audit (continued) Cause: Because these errors were not detected prior to the information being provided for audit, there is an indication that the closing procedures, specifically the monitoring and review of financial information by management, is not being effectively performed. This will ultimately cause significant errors in the financial records and financial statements as well as allow possible irregularities, including fraud, to possibly exist without notice. Effect: The Authority did not submit the federal single audit for the year ended December 31, 2024, within the established deadline of September 30, 2025.

SIGNIFICANT DEFICIENCY

The Authority does not currently have a formal close process and does not maintain its general ledger in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). We specifically noted the following issues:Formal Close Process Criteria: Generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America provides that the design or operation of an internal control structure over financial reporting allows management or employees in the normal course of performing their assigned functions to prevent, or detect and correct, misstatements on a timely basis. This includes the need for an individual, not directly involved in the preparation of transactions or financial statement amounts, to provide a review of the work performed. There appears to be a general lack of control consciousness within the Authority.

The Authority does not currently have a formal close process and does not maintain its general ledger in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). We specifically noted the following issues:Formal Close Process Criteria: Generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America provides that the design or operation of an internal control structure over financial reporting allows management or employees in the normal course of performing their assigned functions to prevent, or detect and correct, misstatements on a timely basis. This includes the need for an individual, not directly involved in the preparation of transactions or financial statement amounts, to provide a review of the work performed. There appears to be a general lack of control consciousness within the Authority.

Corrective Action Plan

Recommendation: We recommend the Authority implement a formalized closing process at least on an annual basis for all financial statement areas. The close process should include an in-depth analysis of all significant accounts, including recording all prior-year audit entries. All significant accounts should have supporting schedules that are prepared and reviewed by separate individuals within the Authority to ensure proper segregation of duties. Furthermore, supporting schedules should agree to the corresponding general ledger accounts. Implementation of these recommendations will improve financial reporting processes and internal controls of the Authority and result in a financial close with minimal proposed adjusting entries. Management’s response: Management will ensure proper segregation of duties and enhanced oversight, providing improved internal controls. Financial procedures and standard operating procedures will be revised, formalized and put into place.
