Period of Performance
QUESTIONED COSTS

A cost reimbursement grant provided for subcontractor services. The expenses for the subcontractor services were accrued and the revenue was recorded prior to performance of the services. Criteria: Internal controls should be in place that provide reasonable assurance that expenses are recorded only when the services are performed and that the cost-reimbursement billings only include expenditures for services that have been performed. Cause: The procedures in place to ensure that expenses and the related revenue are recorded only when the services are performed were not adhered to. Effect: The failure to ensure that the grant expenses and related revenues are recorded only when the services are performed resulted in an overstatement of revenues and expenses during the year ended June 30, 2019. Recommendation: Procedures should be implemented to ensure that expenses are recorded only when the services are performed and that the billings for cost-reimbursement grants only include expenditures for services that have been performed. Known Questioned Costs: We identified $50,000 of expenditures billed and received prior to the actual costs being incurred. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions: Management agrees with the finding and the recommendation will be implemented.

Action Taken: Procedures have been implemented to ensure that expenses are recorded only when the services are performed and that the billings for cost-reimbursement grants only include expenditures for services that have been performed. We will have periodic meetings and training with the accounting staff to ensure they are following the proper procedures. The accounting manager and finance director will carefully review the general ledger detail prior to billing. Regarding the $50,000 that was billed to DCFS and received but the services was deferred to a later date, this will either paid to the subcontractor by end of January 2020 or returned to DCFS.

Cost Allowability

A grant billing included reimbursement for two severance payments, costs which are not allowable per the grant agreement. Criteria: Internal controls should be in place that provide reasonable assurance that only allowable costs, as defined in the grant agreements, are billed. Cause: Management neglected to identify severance payments as unallowable costs per the grant agreement. Effect: The failure to identify severance payments as unallowable costs resulted in an overstatement of revenues and an understatement of liabilities. Recommendation: Procedures should be implemented to ensure that only allowable costs, as defined in the grant agreements, are billed. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions: Management agrees with the finding and the recommendation will be implemented.
