MATERIAL WEAKNESSREPEAT

Reporting Type of Finding - Noncompliance and material weakness in internal control over compliance Program: Coronavirus Relief Fund Assistance Listing Number: 21.019 Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Treasury Criteria - In accordance with 2 CFR 200.303 subrecipients must establish, document, and maintain effective internal control over the federal award that provides reasonable assurance that the subrecipient is managing the federal award in compliance and federal statutes, regulations and the terms and conditions of the federal award. In accordance with 2 CFR 200.329 subrecipients must submit performance reports as required by the federal award. Reports submitted semiannually are due no later than 30 calendar days after the reporting period. Condition - Total expenditures reported on the semiannual reports due April 30, 2024 and October 31, 2024 did not agree to related support. The semiannual report due on October 31, 2024 was not submitted timely. Cause - The reports were prepared on a cash basis and the reports were not being monitored for timely submission. Effect - The Association submitted reports that were not on the accrual basis which caused expenditures to be reported in the incorrect period and submitted one report untimely. Questioned costs - No questioned costs. Context - The Association is required to report to the City of Topeka, Kansas semiannually. We tested both reports due during 2024. The report due April 30, 2024 covered the period October 1, 2023 through March 31, 2024 and reported cash expenditures of $19,675. Internal records of the Organization supported accrual expenditures of $29,678 during the same time period. Expenditures were under-reported by $10,003 on the report due April 30, 2024. The report due October 30, 2024 covered the period April 1, 2024 through September 30, 2024 and reported cash expenditures of $60,902. Internal records of the Organization supported accrual expenditures of $54,726 during the same time period. Expenditures were over-reported by $6,176 on the report due October 30, 2024. This same report was submitted February 25, 2025 when the due date was October 30, 2024. Identification as a repeat finding - This is a repeat finding. See 2023-002. Recommendation - We recommend that management review reporting requirements and internal procedures to ensure expenses are reported accurately, completely, and timely using an accrual basis. There should be a review of the reports prior to submission that includes a comparison to internal accrual-based records and monitoring to ensure the reports are submitted timely. Views of responsible official - Management concurs with the finding. The Organization is reviewing its reporting procedures and providing education on requirements to those involved. See the corrective action plan.

MATERIAL WEAKNESS

Criteria Internal controls should be in place to ensure that misstatements or omissions to the financial statements are prevented, detected, or corrected on a timely basis. Condition Reports submitted to the Governor’s Office for the Crime Victim Assistance Program were inaccurate and had to be resubmitted during the audit. Context Due to high staff turnover in the Finance Department, it was noted during the audit that multiple reports submitted to the Governor’s Office for the Crime Victim Assistance Program were inaccurate and had to be resubmitted. Although the amount was immaterial, a lack of internal controls around reporting caused the reports to be inaccurately prepared and submitted. Effect Original reports submitted to the reporting agency inaccurately reported expenses for the Program. Cause Due to high staff turnover, expenses were being coded to the wrong grants, and the reports were not being properly reviewed against the general ledger to verify they were accurate. Recommendation Procedures should be established and implemented to verify the correct expenses are being reported to the various reporting agencies. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions See corrective action plan.

Corrective Action Plan

Allowable costs and activities - The federal program was charged with two building construction and repair fees, which are not allowable without prior authorization. Recommendation - The Organization should implement procedures to ensure that only allowable costs and activities are charged to federal programs. Plan of Action - The grant was charged $85.52 for a small percentage of repairs to a building that was completed during the year. Because of a change in Grant Administrators, we were not able to locate written documentation from the grantor allowing us to charge this cost to the grant. The current Grant Administrator will be notified that any charges outside of the grant budget must be approved in writing by the grantor, and our accounting procedures will be updated to document this as of October 1, 2020.

QUESTIONED COSTS

Criteria of specific Requirement Employees working on federal programs should have their wages properly calculated and allocated to the program expenses. Condition Two employees were overpaid what their payroll documentation indicated they should have been. Context During audit procedures, we examined 20 employees who worked on the major program. Of those 20 employees, two were paid more than what their Payroll Change Status forms showed. One employee was overpaid by $10 during a single pay period in the year. The other employee was found to have been overpaid by $2.92, per pay period, for 12 periods, which was a $35.04 overpayment. This resulted in total overpayment of $45.04. Effect Employees were overpaid by $45.04, and of that amount, $35.04 was charged to the major program. Cause The Association did not properly review payroll documentation to ensure that employees are paid the approved amount. Recommendation Internal controls should be put in place to ensure that employees are paid only what they were approved to receive.

Corrective Action Plan

Payroll Calculations - The Organization overpaid two employees who work on the federal program, and for one of those employees, the overpayment was charged to the federal program. Recommendation - The Organization should implement procedures to ensure that employees are paid only what they have been approved to receive. Plan of Action - Overpayment of payroll in the amount of $35.04 was charged to the program. This overpayment was a posting error made by our outside accounting firm when our payroll was being manually calculated and entered into QuickBooks. We have since moved our payroll processing to ADP, and it is the responsibility of our Business Manager to review the payroll for accuracy on a quarterly basis. This will be documented in the duties of the Business Manager's job description as shared with the Business Manager by October 1, 2020. The Business Manager will sign this document to acknowledge this added responsibility.
