MATERIAL WEAKNESSMODIFIED OPINION

During the year, the Organization drew federal funds that were not disbursed for program expenses. The Organization is required to minimize the time elapsing between the transfer of funds to the Organization from the U.S. Treasury and the issuance of payments for program purposes by the Organization. Cause: The Organization did not identify qualifying expenditures prior to drawing down grant draws. During the review of all federal grant draws, it was noted that $20,061 of grant draws exceeded the related grant expenditures. Effect: Grant funds were drawn in advance of qualifying expenditures. These draws included supplementary funds that were not earned as of the end of the grant period and are reflected in the Organization?s financial statements as deferred grant revenue. Questioned Costs: None reported Context/Sampling: The finding appears to be a systemic issue as the condition occurred on multiple federal awards. Recommendation: Procedures should be established to reconcile expenditures and draws prior to making additional draws to ensure that advance draws of federal funds do not occur. Views of Responsible Officials: Finance staff understands the requirements to draw funds only for qualifying expenditures. Procedures will be established to ensure that draws are not made in excess of the qualifying expenditures of the Organization.
