MATERIAL WEAKNESSMODIFIED OPINION

2 CFR § 1000 gives regulatory effect to the Department of the Treasury for 2 CFR Part 200. 2 CFR § 200.1 states, in part, that the term “Period of performance” means the total estimated time interval between the start of an initial Federal award and the planned end date, which may include one or more funded portions, or budget periods. Identification of the period of performance in the Federal award per § 200.211(b)(5) does not commit the awarding agency to fund the award beyond the currently approved budget period. 2 CFR § 200.211(b)(5) states, in part, that the Federal awarding agency must include the following general Federal award information in each Federal award the Period of Performance Start and End Date. The period of performance for the award under the Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery begins on the date the awards are issued (i.e., the date funds are disbursed to recipients) and ends on December 31, 2026. Recipients may only use funds to cover costs incurred after March 3, 2021, and ending on December 31, 2024. Recipients must liquidate all obligations incurred by December 31, 2024, under the award no later than December 31, 2026, which is the end of the period of performance. 2021 Treasury SLFRF Compliance Supplement Addendum 1, 21.027; 2022 OMB Compliance Supplement, Part 4, 21.027. The County reimbursed payroll for all of fiscal year 2021 General Fund gross wages, using Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery funds, which included pay dates prior to March 3, 2021. The total gross wages reimbursed prior to March 3, 2021, was $993,575. Expenditures paid from federal funds outside the period of performance could result in federal questioned costs and follow-up action taken by the grantor agency, which may result in loss of future federal funding. The County should establish and implement procedures to verify that only expenditures incurred during the period of performance are charged to federal awards. Noncompliance with grant requirements could have an adverse effect on future grant awards by the awarding agency in addition to an inaccurate assessment of major federal programs that would be subjected to audit. County management should review all grant award documents in order to execute policies and procedures which help ensure compliance with grant requirements, including Schedule reporting requirements. The County should implement a system to track all federal expenditures and related information separately from other expenditures and report federal expenditures with proper support including, but not limited to, grant agreements, calculation of the expenditures, and any federal reporting requirements. This will help ensure the County is in compliance with grant requirements, the Schedule is complete and accurate, and major federal programs are accurately identified for audit.

Corrective Action Plan

The Corrective action plan will be to follow the period of performance going forward in order to not have this reoccur again in the future. The County management will review all grant documents to make sure they are in Compliance with the requirements. Van Wert County adopted the Standard Allowance for revenue loss up to $10 million for the ARPA funds. Lost revenue dates will be reviewed in the future to ensure supporting documents are also in Compliance with the grant requirements.
