SIGNIFICANT DEFICIENCY

The Agency could not locate one of the 40 invoices selected for testing, and disbursement registers did not have approval for the months of July through September. Context: Certain payments did not have adequate controls to ensure maintenance of invoices or approval of payments. Cause: The Agency has misplaced one of the 40 invoices, but all others selected were located. The registers did not have documentation of approval, as there were significant changes in management and staff during the year, and this process was missed in the transition of staff. Effect: Expenditures could have been paid that were not approved by management or the board. Recommendation: We recommend management review the process of approvals and maintenance of invoices to ensure payments made are proper and documentation of approvals are maintained. View of responsible officials and planned corrective action: Management agrees with the finding. See corrective action plan.

The Agency's existing Financial Procedures require all appropriate and supporting documentation related to expenses be filed and maintained by the Finance Staff. Management has reviewed the existing procedures with the Finance Staff. All invoices will be filed within one week of the disbursement.

SIGNIFICANT DEFICIENCY

The Fiscal Director both prepared and certified the reports to the funding source and there is no documentation of another individuals’ review or approval over the reports. Context: There was no documentation of review on reports to the funding source. Cause: The Fiscal Director was also the Acting Executive Director for much of the year due to staffing changes. Effect: The preparer and reviewer were the same individual. Recommendation: We recommend management review and update the reporting procedure to ensure reports are reviewed and approved by a separate individual from the preparer prior to submission. View of responsible officials and planned corrective action: Management agrees with the finding. See corrective action plan.

Corrective Action Plan

Management recognizes the importance of ensuring the accuracy of reports provided to funding sources. The Agency's existing Financial Procedures require either the Finance Director or the Executive Director to review and sign reports submitted to the funding source. Management has implemented a process for the Finance Director to prepare finance reports and to have the Executive Director review, approve, and sign the reports before they are submitted to the funding sources. The Acting Executive Director and/or Program Director will review and sign off on all funding sources reports.
