Subrecipient Monitoring

Association of Soil and Water Conservation Districts failed to detect and correct federal funds passed through to various counties, which were over/under expended. Returned Federal funds passed through to various counties were not reissued to the correct county prior to year-end. Questionable Costs: Over-reimbursed costs of $13,020 and refunds not re-issued of $9,556. Context: Without effective internal controls and monitoring over grant expenditures, the district could over/under expend pass-through funds that could be considered allowable/unallowable. Cause: Participating counties submit invoice and work reports to the district to request funds based off work performed. Lack of review and/or monitoring of grand expenditures caused Association of Soil & Water Conservation Districts to over/under expend pass-through of federal funding, which sent incorrect amounts to incorrect counties. Effect: Expenditures recorded and reported to the grant agency included as allowable were not supported by actual documentation. Expenditures recorded and reported to the grant agency included allowable expenditures that were not issued to the recipients as stated. Recommendation: Management should review all internal controls over grant expenditures to ensure they are adequate to detect and timely adjust financial statement accounts. Management should take the time to thoroughly review grant expenditures in an effectively and timely manner. Management Response/Corrective Action Plan: Management is aware that refunds were due to the districts but were unable to return the funds due to issues with bank information. Follow-up with the districts to correct the issue was completed after the audit. The Association will institute a year-end review and oversight process including sub-recipient monitoring to fulfill its internal control and fiduciary obligations as grantee.

Corrective Action Plan

RE: Finding 2020 - 002 The Association of Soil & Water Conservation Districts (AISWCD) takes its grant administration role seriously and has increased oversight and administration thereto in recent years. Prior to the fiscal year 2020 audit engagement, AISWCD had identified amounts due districts that had been rejected as ACH remittances due to closed sub-recipient financial institution accounts. Once sub-recipients provided updated banking information, AISWCD re-submitted grants to the respective districts. As such, these payments were not made prior to the close of the 2020 fiscal year. Additionally, grant applications are reviewed and reconciled monthly to ensure that proper payment has been remitted to sub-recipients. AISWCD will continue to institute a year-end review and oversight process including sub-recipient monitoring to fulfill its internal control and fiduciary obligations as grantee.
