MATERIAL WEAKNESSREPEAT OF 2022-001QUESTIONED COSTS

Subrecipients not reimbursed on a timely basis (Cash Management) During the period, the Organization oversaw subrecipient grantees under AL #14.267. The Organization received and held funds from grantor intended for subrecipients for an amount of time in excess of what is considered timely for reimbursement. Criteria: This is deemed a matter of untimely subrecipient reimbursement. Cause: The Organization had an incorrect understanding of their role as sub-grantee, in which they believed that additional information was required to be provided by subrecipient before funds were disbursed. Effect: The result is a backlog of monthly reimbursements not disbursed to subrecipients in a timely manner. Recommendations: That the Organization implement controls to align subrecipient reimbursement requests with collection of required subrecipient information, as well as establish a formal timeline for approving reimbursements to subrecipients. Comments: The above finding was identified and disclosed during the audit for the period ending December 31, 2022, and was addressed by Board and Management at that time. However, the timing of the audit and subsequent finding lead to the issue continuing through mid-2023, when the audit took place. The Corrective Action Plan was certified by Board and Management effective September 26, 2023, and additional controls surrounding their subrecipient relationships were implemented at that time. It should be noted that the Organization does not maintain subrecipient relationships under any other federal grants, and hence, the issue at hand does not impact other grants/programs.
