2021-001
Activities Allowed or Unallowed / Cost Allowability

2021-001 Assistance Listing Number, Federal Agency, and Program Name: Assistance Listing Number 21.019, Department of Treasury, Coronavirus Relief Fund Federal Award Identification Number and Year: 2021 Pass-through Entity ? Oakland County and Macomb County Finding Type ? Significant Deficiency over non-compliance Repeat Finding ? No Criteria ? Per 2 CFR ? 200.303, the non-Federal entity must establish and maintain effective internal control over the Federal award that provides reasonable assurance that the non-Federal entity is managing the Federal award in compliance with Federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of the Federal award. These internal controls should be in compliance with guidance in ?Standards for Internal Control in the Federal Government? issued by the Comptroller General of the United States or the ?Internal Control Integrated Framework?, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Condition ? During our test work over Activities Allowed and Unallowed and Allowable Costs/Cost Principles compliance requirements, we selected 55 non payroll related expenditures charged to the grant and noted 1 instance where the check was missing evidence of the appropriate authorized signature. Identification of How Questioned Costs Were Computed ? n/a Questioned Costs ? n/aContext ? The control is in place; but was not followed, therefore not operating effectively. While Management has an understanding of the Uniform Guidance regulations, the client did not follow their own internal control process. Cause/Effect ? Internal control procedures were bypassed and not followed. Although no instances of noncompliance were noted, the Organization did not follow their own internal control polices and therefore instances of non-compliance could have taken place without management's knowledge. Recommendation ? We recommend that Management implements and maintains effective internal control over Cash Management and comply with 2 CFR 200.303 requirements. View of Responsible Officials and Corrective Action Plan ? Management believes that internal controls are effective. The lack of a signature on the one check in the sample represents an isolated incidence and a human error. Although the check signature was missing, the expenditure was appropriate, and the supporting documentation had evidence of approval. No unauthorized expenditures or loss of assets occurred. This condition was not identified in any other expenditures during this or previous audits. Greater attention
