The grant awards received by the Authority were provided on a cost reimbursement basis. During testing of the allowable cost compliance requirement, we examined 100% (7 of 7) of the Authority?s submissions for reimbursement. It was discovered through this examination that the Authority had included duplicate expenditures of allowable costs on two separate submissions to the pass-through entity, and consequently received reimbursement for the same items twice. Criteria: Title 2 CFR 200, Section 303, ?Internal Controls?, states that non-Federal entities must establish and maintain effective internal controls that ensure compliance with program requirements. These controls include understanding grant requirements, provide proper and efficient administration of the Federal award, and monitoring the effectiveness of established controls. Effect: The submission of duplicate expenditures for reimbursement resulted in known questioned costs of $ 299,663. Cause: Management?s review of submitted expenditures and supporting documentation failed to identify the duplication. Recommendation: We recommend the Authority comply with Title 2 CFR 200, Section 303, and maintain effective internal controls over Federal awards to ensure compliance with applicable regulations and the terms and conditions of Federal awards. Response and Corrective Plan: Springfield Airport Authority management agrees with the finding and recognizes that other mandated processes and controls, external to the Springfield Airport Authority, proved to be unsatisfactory in processing these transactions. Corrective action was immediately initiated by management in cooperation with the Illinois Department of Transportation?s Division of Aeronautics and the Federal Aviation Administration?s Chicago Airport District Office to re-submit payment requests to cover the value of the duplicate submittals. The Springfield Airport Authority has identified expenditures to rectify the duplicate submissions and worked closely with the Illinois Department of Transportation and Federal Aviation Administration through the process to correct the record ensuring all pay requests are properly verified. Furthermore, it is noted that while duplicate requests were submitted and paid, the Airport Authority still qualified for the entire grant funding amount and is able to provide the required justification for all payment requests to the level of funding awarded. Springfield Airport Authority management recognizes that the internal controls process did not immediately identify the duplicate submittals. Management has reviewed its internal control procedures in relation to these classes of transactions and will make adjustments to further cross-examine and inspect payment request submittals.
