With regard to the finding 2020-002/2019-003, questioned costs. The Florida Rural Water Association Board of Directors discussed this finding and has decided that since none of the FRWA funders (to include NRWA, EPA, USDA, and the State of Florida) have questioned this long standing policy/procedure, the Association is going to stay with the current policy/procedure.
