Corrective Action Plan

I have tried numerous times to get into the Treasury portal to locate the forms to report how much money went to who. I have even had Treasury personnel on the phone talking me through to get the forms and they couldn’t get them. All I can do is keep trying to locate the forms to upload the information. We have all the applications for the funds accounted for and the money accounted for. It’s just uploading the information that has been the problem. We have until 31 December to allocate the funds and the funds have to be used by 2026.

Corrective Action Plan

The County Clerk is in the process of perparing the needed documentation to document their internal control structure in conformity with the Uniform Guidance. The County will work diligently to comply with and to fully understand the proper procedures of completing the SEFA. As the state does not provide SEFA training, advice may be sought from Certified Public Accountants with SEFA knowledge and local governments.
