SIGNIFICANT DEFICIENCYREPEAT OF 2019-003

The Association expensed unused sick leave accruals but has no policy for employee payouts of sick leave upon leaving the Association. Cause: Management override of controls. Effect: Unallowable costs expensed to the grant resulting in an overstatement of grant expenses. Recommendation: We recommend the Association either stop expensing unused sick leave accruals or change their policy to pay out sick leave when an employee leaves the Association.

Corrective Action Plan

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. The method protects FRWA from financial liability beyond revenue for sick leave.

Corrective Action Plan

The June 30, 2019 Florida Rural Water Audit noted concern with the internal controls processes of the Association. ? With regard to the finding 2019-001, preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP and significant adjustments, we have taken appropriate action to correct the settings in the accounting software to avoid future significant adjustments. ? With regard to the finding 2019-002/2018-003, segregation of duties, we have remediated the issue by providing the Executive Director with a monthly list of journal entries made for review and approval and modified the monthly procedure to ensure Tallahassee consistent approval. ? With regard to the finding 2019-003, questioned costs. The Florida Rural Water Association Board of Directors discussed this finding and has decided 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. This method protects FRWA from financial liability beyond revenue for sick leave. FRWA will continue to modify, improve and promote compliance with its policies and procedures and other generally accepted accounting, financial an oversight procedure.
