MATERIAL WEAKNESSMODIFIED OPINIONREPEAT OF 2019-003

We noted the following deficiency related to Equipment and Real Property Management. The Band did not perform a biannual physical inventory count of its capital assets and, thus, did not determine whether there were any dispositions of capital assets during the fiscal year and that these dispositions, if any, were removed from the property records. Because equipment acquired with federal awards is not properly identified, as noted above, it is not possible to determine that dispositions, if any, are properly classified as equipment acquired under federal awards. Cause: The Band is not performing a biannual physical inventory as required by the Physical Inventory policy in the Band?s Accounting Manual and as required by 2 CFR 200.313. Effect: The Band is not in compliance with Equipment and Real Property Management requirements. Known and likely questioned costs: None Prevalence: This condition is a systemic problem related to the Band?s equipment and real property records. Repeat finding: Yes, 2019-003 Recommendation: We recommend the Band follow its policies and procedures related to property and equipment management, which are outlined in its Accounting Manual. Views of responsible officials of the auditee: The Band concurs with this finding.

OTHER MATTERS

The Single Audit package for the Band should have been submitted to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse by September 30, 2021. Cause: The audit was not completed until September 2022 due to delays caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, evaluation of eligible costs related to the Coronavirus Relief Fund and timeliness and accuracy of year-end close processes. Effect: Potential suspension of funding provided by federal agencies. Known and likely questioned costs: None Prevalence: The June 30, 2020 Single Audit package. Recommendation: We recommend the Band continue its efforts to identify appropriate resources and implement the procedures necessary to ensure the year-end close process is substantially complete before the audit of the financial statements commences. This will help ensure the accounts and transactions are properly reconciled and adjustments are recorded in the financial statements in order to submit the Single Audit timely. Views of responsible officials of the auditee: The Band concurs with this finding.

FINDING 2020-003?Submission of Single Audit Package Federal programs: All ALN numbers included on the schedule of federal awards for the year ended June 30, 2020. Criteria: 45 CFR 74.269(d) dictates that auditees? reporting packages should be completed and submitted within the earlier of 30 days after receipt of the auditor?s package or nine months after the end of the organization?s fiscal year. In March 2021, Office on Management and Budget issued memorandum M-21-20 that extended the Single Audit filing date for those recipients and subrecipients affected by the loss of operational capacity that had not filed their Single Audits with the Federal Audit Clearinghouse as of March 19, 2021. Those with fiscal year-ends through June 30, 2021, had an extension up to six months beyond the normal due date. Condition: The Single Audit package for the Band should have been submitted to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse by September 30, 2021. Cause: The audit was not completed until September 2022 due to delays caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, evaluation of eligible costs related to the Coronavirus Relief Fund and timeliness and accuracy of year-end close processes. Effect: Potential suspension of funding provided by federal agencies. Known and likely questioned costs: None Prevalence: The June 30, 2020 Single Audit package. Recommendation: We recommend the Band continue its efforts to identify appropriate resources and implement the procedures necessary to ensure the year-end close process is substantially complete before the audit of the financial statements commences. This will help ensure the accounts and transactions are properly reconciled and adjustments are recorded in the financial statements in order to submit the Single Audit timely. Views of responsible officials of the auditee: The Band concurs with this finding.

Corrective Action Plan

Identifying Number: 2020-003 Finding: Submission of Single Audit Package Corrective Actions Taken or Planned: The Band is continuing its efforts on obtaining and retaining qualified employees to assist with the general ledger reconciliation and reporting. The accounting department has experienced significant turnover throughout the fiscal year which has impacted our ability to complete the year-end closeout process in a timely manner. The band will continue to monitor and adjust any necessary accounts within a reasonable time frame. The Band is working to provide current employees with more in-depth training and job skill development. Another major factor that caused delays in the submittal of the Band?s single audit package was a lack of engagement from our external audit firm, RSM. The Band repeatedly requested RSM to complete the audit prior to the deadline, along with inquiries as to any further information that was needed from the Band to complete the audit. The Band communicated to the audit firm during a conference call in spring of 2021 that the audit needed completed by June 30, 2021, regardless of the extended deadline of September 30, 2021. The Band continued requesting updates on the status of the audit completion, with either no response or with delayed responses from the summer of 2021 through September of 2022. As a result of these deficiencies in our external audit firm the Band has decided to submit a Request for Proposal (RFP) for auditing services to better meet the Band?s needs Contact person responsible for corrective action: Kyle Applebee Anticipated Completion Date: 6/30/2023 Kyle Applebee, Controller

Because equipment acquired with federal awards is not properly identified, as noted above, it is not possible to determine that dispositions, if any, are properly classified as equipment acquired under federal awards.

Corrective Action Plan

The Band is in the process of incorporating a bar code system to make tracking of capital assets easier. The Band is going to implement biennial inventories and more closely follow its own internal policies and procedures on the tracking and disposition of all capital assets.
