FINDINGS RELATING TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND FEDERAL AWARD PROGRAMS Finding 2021-01 Significant Deficiency - Miscalculation of Salaries Information on the Federal Program: CFDA No. 84.425D - CARES Act Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief Fund. Pass-Through Entity: Georgia Department of Education. Award Number: S425D200012. Compliance Requirement: Allowable Costs. Condition and Criteria: During the year ended June 30, 2021, we noted certain salaries charged to a federal program were miscalculated based on the applicable salary schedule. The process for calculating certain salaries was established, but was impacted by turnover and remote working assignments. Cause: There was turnover in accounting department personnel who perform or oversee the process for calculating salaries. Along with turnover, remote working assignments impacted traditional accounting procedures. Effect: The miscalculated part of the salary is not an allowable cost for the federal program. Questioned Costs: $49,843 Recommendation: We recommend that the System fully adhere to the accounting and internal control procedures in order to minimize its exposure to such control weaknesses in the future. Responsible Officials? Response: School closures, remote learning, and employee assignments for out-of-office working were all results of a pandemic environment. The System observed nontraditional practices to accomplish required outcomes. Procedures have been modified to account for work in all types of environments in the future. Any calculation items have been discussed with affected employees and reconciliation procedures have been implemented.
