During our audit we found that the asset and liability balances related to grants and contracts were not being regularly reconciled to supporting documentation. In order to gain assurance as to the accuracy of these balances we were required to complete a detailed analysis of every one of the funds of the Council. We discovered numerous misstatements of grant related balances, three of which were over $200,000 and therefore material to the financial statements. We found that month end journal entries were entered and not reversed, reversed in incorrect amounts, and even posted backwards. We also found multiple instances where year end accruals and deferrals were not made. Cause: These misstatements were caused by human error and the lack of a properly designed review process to catch such errors. There was no effective review of month end journal entries and reversals to ensure they were entered and reversed correctly. Additionally, there was not a regular process to reconcile grant and contract balances to the accounting software. Effect: The Healthy Start North Central Florida Medicaid Waiver Fund’s revenues were understated by approximately $237,000 and expenses overstated by approximately $162,000. These material misstatements were corrected with audit adjustments netting approximately $399,000. This fund experienced the greatest impact of these errors, but numerous other funds experienced posting errors of smaller magnitude. These errors caused our firm to spend substantially more time than projected to complete the audit, delaying the audit’s completion. Recommendation: We recommend the following actions 1. A strategic assessment of the finance department’s staff including an evaluation of competencies, accounting structures, and whether adjustments in staffing may be necessary to restore confidence in financial reporting. 2. Implementation of a regular process to reconcile grant and contract balances to the accounting software. 3. Document year end grant expenses which were not billed in the fiscal year but will be billed and reimbursed in the next period and therefore require a revenue accrual. 4. Create a process to review reimbursement grant funds that show income or loss and complete adjustments to write off non-reimbursable expenses and defer unspent funds accordingly. 5. Changing the month end accrual process to something less error prone. The current method of posting monthly entries and reversals clutters up the accounting records with 24 unnecessary transactions in each accrual account, making it difficult to analyze.

Regarding 2024-1, we recognize that our current finance department is not adequately staffed with the caliber of accountants needed to support an organization of our size and complexity. Management and the Board are currently assessing our needs and weighing options regarding restructuring our finance department. Regardless of structure and staffing, moving forward, Management will develop and implement more efficient and effective processes for proper posting and regular reconciliation of grant-related balances to the accounting software and ongoing scrutiny of those processes.
