Through auditing procedures, we were able to correct and support the amounts reported on the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards. Prior to these corrections, the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards was prepared with incorrect financial information. Cause: Adequate emphasis was not placed on the preparation of the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards. Effect: No control monitoring or control over federal expenditures reporting, as required by Governmental Accounting and Financial Reporting Standards. Questioned Costs: Not applicable. Context: During the audit of federal programs, we discovered a number of errors related to the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards. Repeat Finding: This finding is repeated from prior year finding 2019-003. Recommendation: The County should implement procedures to ensure that the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards is prepared in accordance with federal requirements. The County should continue in its efforts to establish an accounting system that will capture grant transactions in a manner sufficient to readily report the necessary information required on the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards. Views of responsible officials: Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200 will be reviewed and training sessions will be initiated by the County Clerk's office.

Recommendation: We recommend management develop internal controls over reporting and consult with external consultants, if possible, to ensure an accurate SEFA is prepared. Management's Response: Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200 is being reviewed and training sessions will be initiated by the County Clerk's office.
