MATERIAL WEAKNESSREPEAT

During the course of the audit, material audit adjustments to the City?s recorded account balances and the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards were proposed which, if not recorded, would have resulted in a material misstatement of the City?s financial statements and Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards. Criteria: A system of internal controls contemplates accurate recording, reconciliation, and presentation of amounts and disclosures in the financial statements in accordance with GAAP. The City should have an internal control system designed for drafting the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards. The Uniform Guidance requires the auditee to prepare an appropriate Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards in accordance with Section 200.510. Cause: The City does not have an adequate system of internal controls to identify all relevant and material adjustments necessary to ensure that financial statements are in accordance with GAAP and that the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards is in accordance with Uniform Guidance. Effect: The lack of internal control increases the risk of interim, annual financial statements, and the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards being presented with material misstatements. Repeat Finding: This issue was reported as finding 2019-002 in the prior year. Auditor?s Recommendation: We recommend a more thorough review and reconciliation process be put into place for year-end balances and the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards to ensure proper accounting principles have been followed. View of Management: Management agrees with the finding. A response can be found in the Corrective Action Plan.
