FINDING 2020-001 Federal CFDA Number and Title: 21.019 COVID-19 Coronavirus Relief Fund Federal Award Number / Year: N/A / 2020 Federal Grantor: U.S. Department of Treasury Pass-Through Entity: Wisconsin Department of Adminstration 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 financial reports, which should be reviewed and approved by a responsible party other than the original preparer before they are submitted to the granting agency. Condition/Context: We sampled two reports during our control testing and it was noted that both of the submissions of eligible expenditures for reimbursement through the Department of Administration's expense reporter were not formally being reviewed and approved by someone other than the report preparer prior to submission. Our sample was not statistically vaild. Cause: The county does not have procedures in place requiring an indpendent person to review the reports before submission. Questioned Costs: None noted. Effect: Reports could be submitted that contain errors, or reports may not be submitted within the allowed reporting periods. Recommendation: We recommend that an employee other than the preparer review all reports before they are submitted to the Department of Administration through the expense reporter. Management?s Response: Another member of the Finance department or staff from the user department will review financial reports prior to submission for all COVID-19 federal funds to ensure accurate and timely report submissions.
