Condition and Context: As a part of our testing over cash management of funds received from the federal funding source, we examined information showing the dates on which nine program-related disbursements of federal funds were received by RTA, and we compared those dates to the dates when RTA remitted the amounts for the purposes of covering payroll expenses and paying its various contractors. We noted that, during a period from May 7, 2021 through July 19, 2021, two draws were received from the federal funding source with no payments made to the contractors for which the funds had been appropriated. This resulted in periods of 74 days and 63 days between receipt of the federal funds and the corresponding payments to the contractors. The seven other observed draws, occurring both prior to and subsequent to this period, were paid out either prior to the receipt of the federal funds or within one day of receipt. / Criteria: According to Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations ("CFR") Part 200, paragraph 305, non-federal entities are required to minimize the time that elapses between the transfer of funds from the federal funding source and the disbursement of those funds by the non-federal entity for the program's intended purposes. / Effect: As a result of these matters, RTA caused a delay in the flow of cash to contractors who performed the services that were meant to carry out the overall intentions of this program. / Cause: The condition was caused by an oversight by management that resulted in invoices not being processed for payment until well after the cash had been drawn by RTA. / Questioned Costs: None / Recommendation: We recommend that management designate a specific individual to be responsible for monitoring the receipt of federal funds on a daily basis. This person should be tasked with ensuring that funds that have been transferred from the federal funding source are disbursed to the intended contractors within a short period following receipt of these funds. / Management?s Response: RTA staff and management are in agreement with the finding. Going forward, the RTA staff member that is responsible for the receipt of federal funds will take an extra step to review expenses associated with the receipt to determine what expenses, if any, have not been paid. The staff member will then immediately initiate any necessary payments.
