There was instances of a lack review of the reports and claims for reimbursement by someone other than the preparer for grants within the social services department. Accordingly, this does not allow for proper segregation of duties for internal control purposes over reporting compliance requirements.

While the current staff of the County maintain financial records which accurately report federal and state revenues and expenditures throughout the year, preparing the year end schedule of expenditures of federal awards and schedule of expenditures of state awards, including the related notes require additional expertise that would entail additional training and staff time to develop. The County contracts with CLA and their knowledge of current accounting principles and regulatory requirements to assist in the preparation of the federal and state financial reports for the County in an efficient manner. Cause: The additional costs associated with hiring staff experienced in preparing these schedules and notes, including additional training time outweigh the derived benefits. Effect: The County could receive federal or state grant awards which are not included in the accompanying schedules of expenditures of federal and state awards. Recommendation: We recommend the County continue reviewing the federal and state financial assistance reports. While it may not be cost beneficial to hire additional staff to prepare these items, a thorough review of this information by appropriate staff of the County is necessary to obtain an adequate understanding of the County?s single audit report. Views of responsible officials: There is no disagreement with the audit finding.

Management continues to rely on the audit firm to prepare the financial statements. Management does continue to review the audit reports that are prepared by our auditing firm. In the 2018 year, we had started the implementation process of a new financial and payroll system. This is a multiple year project, which included the development of a new account number structure. The account numbers have been developed to capture the separation of the amounts that are needed to eventually prepare the Annual Financial Report and the Financial Reporting for Federal Awards and State Financial Assistance. There will be a lot of testing of current data and creating reports to capture the information in the proper format for audit purposes. This report will be more difficult to capture the amounts totally from the system so the creation of the report will take longer to develop. At the time when we have the reports verified that it is capturing the amounts correctly, then the audit firm will be used to review the numbers that are presented on the reports.
