Finding 2022-002 Program Federal Assistance Listing Number and Title: 93.323 COVID-19 Epidemiology and Laboratory Capacity for Infectious Diseases (ELC) Award Number: 47746-2 Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Pass-Through Agency: Wisconsin Department of Human Services Criteria: The Uniform Guidance and State Single Audit Guidelines require that local entities receiving federal and state awards establish and maintain internal control designed to reasonably ensure compliance with laws, regulations, and program compliance requirements. The Uniform Guidance and State Single Audit Guidelines further require auditors to obtain an understanding of the local entity's internal control over federal and state programs. To minimize the risk of errors, internal controls should be in place for all program compliance requirements, including the preparation and submission of monthly reports, which should be reviewed and approved by a responsible party other than the original preparer. Condition/Context: All three of the CARS reports tested were not reviewed by an independent person before submission for reimbursement. Both of the special quarterly reports tested were also not reviewed by an independent person as required by the state. The sample was not statistically valid sample. Cause: The City did not have internal control procedures in place requiring an independent person to review the reports before submission and ensure the reports were accurately and timely submitted. Effect: Reports were not submitted and those that were submitted could contain errors. Questioned Costs: None noted. Recommendation: The City should review its internal control procedures to ensure there are proper review and approval processes over completeness and accuracy of reports are in place before submissions to state agencies are completed. Management Response: An individual other than the preparer will review the grant reports prior to submittal.
