MATERIAL WEAKNESSMODIFIED OPINION

During our testing of the City’s compliance with reporting requirements, we noted the City did not have any formal controls in place over the review and approval of reports. Reports were prepared, certified and submitted by the same individual. Additionally, during our testing, we noted for two (2) subaward reports submitted to FSRS, the information was not submitted timely. Cause: The City did not have a formal review process in place over the reports under the program. Additionally, the City did not have a process in place to ensure reports were submitted to FSRS timely. Effect: Reports could be submitted with inaccurate information. Additionally, reports were not submitted to FSRS in accordance with the reporting requirements per Appendix A to Part 170I(a)(2). Questioned Costs: No questioned costs were identified as a result of our procedures. Context/Sampling: A nonstatistical sample of six (6) of eleven (11) reports were selected. The condition above was identified during our testwork of the City’s internal controls over reporting. Repeat Finding from Prior Years: No. Recommendation: We recommend that the City adhere to their policies and procedures in accordance with 2 CFR 200.332 to ensure compliance with subrecipient monitoring requirements.

Cause: The City?s controls were not operating effectively to ensure that the ARPA expenditures were being identified, tracked, and reported. Effect: Potential for improper reporting can result in actions taken by oversight agencies which could impact future funding. Questioned costs: None Context: Two quarterly reports were tested and one included expenditures that had not been properly identified.
