Corrective Action Plan

Finding Number: 2020-001 Original Finding Description: General ledger activity related to agency transactions under contract with the Great Lakes Water Authority (GLWA) were recognized as revenue and expense for the years ended September 30, 2020 and 2019. Status/Partial Corrective Action (as applicable): Fully corrected. Planned Corrective Action: The Water Residential Assistance Program (WRAP) was created through a collaboration of service providers that included Wayne Metro. Based upon the Agency's work in this area Wayne Metro was awarded an initial two-year grant to implement this program. Wayne Metro?s work started in fiscal year 2016. Since that time, Wayne Metro believes it has recorded all revenue and expenses related to this program correctly in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. Our treatment of this award had been validated through independent audits conducted by two independent CPA firms from 2016 through fiscal year 2019. There have been no material changes to the Great Lakes Water Authority (GLWA) contract through fiscal year 2020. Based upon the above facts, Wayne Metro consulted with GLWA?s corporate counsel, the author of the contract. They provided the following opinion in response to Plante Moran?s interpretation of the contract: ?In a recent audit of Wayne Metro?s September 30, 2020 financials, the Schedule of Findings by Plante Moran reflected a material weakness by Wayne Metro in its handling of funds related to the Great Lakes Water Authority?s Water Residential Assistance Program (WRAP). The material weakness describes Wayne Metro as an agent and then highlights specific sections of the GLWA/Wayne Metro Professional Services Contract to suggest Wayne Metro is an agent of GLWA?s funds. Although it may be distinguishable from accounting rules, GLWA from a legal perspective, views the relationship as an independent contractor in which Wayne Metro has the autonomy to manage and control WRAP with minimal oversight from GLWA, including the use of funds to be distributed under WRAP. The material weakness finding cited to 4 sections of the Professional Services Contract. Each of these sections are found in all GLWA?s contracts are not dispositive on the extent of control GLWA has over the services rendered by Wayne Metro. To understand the extent of control over the services rendered, one section of the Contract is dispositive; it is Section 6.03, which states: The relationship of Contractor to GLWA is and shall continue to be that of an independent contractor and no liability or benefits, such as workers' compensation, pension rights or liabilities, insurance rights or liabilities, or other rights or liabilities arising out of or related to a contract for hire or employer/employee relationship shall arise or accrue to either Party or either Party's agent, subcontractor or employee as a result of the performance of this Contract. No relationship other than that of independent contractor shall be implied between the Parties or between either Party?s agents, employees or subcontractors. Contractor shall indemnify, defend, and hold GLWA harmless against any claim based in whole or in part on an allegation that Contractor or any of its Associates qualify as employees of GLWA, and any related costs or expenses, including but not limited to reasonable legal fees and defense costs. Further, Exhibit A, Scope of Services, also details the critical factors in determining the nature of the relationship between the parties. Wayne Metro designs, manages, and administrates WRAP, including the distribution of the funds. As it relates to the fund distribution, GLWA transfers the funds from a GLWA-held account to the Wayne Metro controlled WRAP Account for which they are responsible for managing the cash flow. See Exhibit A, Scope of Services, Section III, Services Performed, Subsection 5. Further, on a quarterly basis, Wayne Metro recommends the amount transferred to WRAP Account. Id, Subsection 6. Finally, the parties reconcile the amount owed in an administrative fee on a monthly basis. Id. Contrary to the material weakness finding it is Wayne Metro, not GLWA, that determines who qualifies for WRAP assistance including control of the timing and the amount of the benefits available. This is highlighted in Subsection 4 of the Services Performed, where is states: The Contractor will implement a prioritization process for rendering assistance that ensure equitable and consistent distribution of assistance to eligible customers through GLWA?s service area? In addition, Subsection 7, it notes that: The Contactor will ensure home water audit and plumbing repair services are delivered effectively, efficiently and with appropriate insurance coverage. In Subsection 9, it outlines that Wayne Metro, not GLWA, develops and provides Program Outreach as well. Although there are not-to-exceed amounts for plumbing repairs and for the initial bill payment assistance amount, it is Wayne Metro, not GLWA, that determines the amount granted to program participants under the stated caps. It is only with the monthly bill assistance in the amount of $25 that Wayne Metro lacks discretion in the amounts granted to program participants. It goes without saying GLWA?s WRAP is unique. There is no program like it in the State of Michigan. With that being said, it is operated like all vendor services provided to GLWA, which is as an independent contractor that controls how the services are rendered. The fact that the service includes the distribution of money to program participants does not change how GLWA views the relationship with Wayne Metro when compared to its other contractors. In summary, GLWA does not control the way Wayne Metro provides the services, it does not determine which clients are eligible for funding, it does not manage the cash flow from the WRAP Account, and it does not manage the business processes; it simply funds Wayne Metro?s activities and ensures that logistical and contract quality assurance requirements are adhered to.? Based upon the findings of the GLWA?s corporate counsel, we strongly believe Plante Moran?s interpretation of the contract is incorrect and the material weakness is unwarranted, therefore, Wayne Metro will obtain an amendment to the contract to further support our treatment of revenue and expense according to Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.
