Section III ? Federal Award Findings and Questioned Costs Statement of Condition: Legal Action of Wisconsin, Inc. last completed a physical inventory of its property and equipment in 2018 in relation to assets held and utilized by Legal Action of Wisconsin, Inc. as of December 31, 2017. Status: This finding was also caused by the pandemic: The inventory audit was scheduled to be done in April of 2020, which would have been considered a timely inventory audit. However, we went remote at that very time and were not able to get started on the inventory audit until 2021. Our move to remote work took a great deal of time and the management of the move to remote work was time-consuming and was a great deal of additional work. It had to be prioritized over all other administrative and management work, including the inventory. (We began the inventory in March 2021, and it will be completed within 2021.) We believe this finding will also not continue in the future since it was a one-time effect of the pandemic and the ?stay at home? orders that were issued by the Wisconsin Governor. LAW also plans to review the current capitalization policy and ensure that the items listed in the inventory balances are correct according to our policy. Person Responsible for Corrective Action: The Executive Director (Deedee Peterson) and Chief Financial Officer (Tanya Stamps) have primary responsibility to ensure the physical inventory audit is completed every 2 calendar years and will direct staff on the timely completion: Controller (Joseph Benson), Staff Accountants (Larisa Dettman and Angela Taylor), Database Administrator (Don Tolbert), and the Managing Attorneys and Office Manager/Office Coordinator in the 6 locations.
