MATERIAL WEAKNESSQUESTIONED COSTSOTHER MATTERS

The Authority drew down federal funds before incurring eligible expenditures. Criteria: Federal awards must be drawn on a reimbursement basis in accordance with Uniform Guidance requirements. Cause: The Authority anticipated future amendments to contracts that would retroactively make current expenditures eligible. However, the draws in question were made before these amendments were finalized. Effect: As a result, the Authority did not fully comply with the Uniform Guidance requirements applicable to the referenced grants. Questioned Costs: A total of $1,120,000 was drawn prior to the effective date of the grant amendments. Recommendation: We recommend that the Authority ensure that all expenditures are incurred and eligible prior to requesting reimbursement from federal funds. View of Responsible Officials: We agree with the recommendation and have already implemented procedures to ensure all expenditures are incurred and eligible prior to requesting reimbursement from federal funds.
