SIGNIFICANT DEFICIENCY

The County did not perform review procedures over claims prior to submission. Criteria or Specific Requirement: Uniform Guidance requires the reporting of costs or activities as the basis for making payments to providers. The State Single Audit Guidelines require the County to perform control activities for ensuring accurate reporting, such as timely and accurate reconciliations. Monthly review of financial information, including claim forms and reconciliations, are an important control over compliance to ensure expenditure reimbursements are properly prepared and agree with the County's actual activity. Questioned Costs: None Cause: While monthly claims were being prepared and reconciled to the ledger, there was no review over those claims prior to submission. Effect: Unallowed costs could be claimed, or costs could be double claimed. Recommendation: We recommend that there is an appropriate reviewer of each grant claim. Views of Responsible Officials: There is no disagreement with the finding. The County?s internal control process includes a required review of all reimbursement requests. The claims for which this review was not completed were isolated to three new 2021 Covid related grants out of the 222 grants managed by the County and were being handled by high level management. Immediately upon discovery of the omission of the review step, management reiterated to County financial staff the importance of the existing review process.

Corrective Action Plan

Recommendation: We recommend that there is an appropriate reviewer of each grant claim. Action planned/taken in response to finding: The County?s internal control process includes a required review of all reimbursement requests. The claims for which this review was not completed were isolated to three new 2021 Covid related grants out of the 135 Federal grants and the 87 State grants that are managed by the County. The amounts reported were accurate and in compliance. Due to these being significant first-year grants, these three grant submissions were being handled by high level management. Immediately upon discovery of the omission of the review step, management reiterated to County financial staff the importance of the existing review process. The internal control requirements have again been promulgated to all County staff that are involved in the processing of grants.
