MATERIAL WEAKNESS

During our review of a sample of FY23 expenditures, we discovered that pension costs were included as allowable costs determined by the program manager. We expanded our scope to include the entire grant reporting period, which included FY2021, FY2022, and FY2023. We discovered that pension costs were included for all three fiscal years. All reported pension costs are included above under Questioned Costs. Cause: Policies and procedures have not been designed and implemented to ensure compliance with Activities Allowed or Unallowed and Allowable Costs. Effect: This condition narrowly resulted in noncompliance with federal requirements and could have resulted in misstated reports and undetected errors. This could have led to the loss of federal funds to the County. Recommendation: We recommend that the County implement necessary internal controls to ensure its compliance with the requirements of the Uniform Guidance. The County has adequate costs under the standard allowance to substitute for the questioned costs, which should be substituted for other government services’ costs. Management’s Response: Management’s response is provided within the corrective action plan on page I-103.

Finding: 2023-004-HC – Material Weakness in Internal Control over Compliance and Other Matter Federal agency: U.S. Department of Treasury Federal program title: Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds Assistance Listing Number (ALN): 21.027 Pass-through agency: None Federal award number: 1505-0271 Federal Award Year: FY2021, FY2022, FY2023 Control Category: Activities Allowed or Unallowed, and Allowable Costs/Cost Principles Questioned Costs: FY2021 $197,448; FY2022 $487,891; FY2023 $657,937. Criteria or specific requirement: The Uniform Guidance in 2 CFR Section 200.303, Internal Controls, requires that non-federal entities receiving Federal awards (i.e. auditee management) establish and maintain internal control designed to reasonably ensure compliance with Federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of the Federal award. Additionally, pursuant to the compliance supplement for ALN 21.027, Activities Unallowed, include deposits into pension funds. Condition: During our review of a sample of FY23 expenditures, we discovered that pension costs were included as allowable costs determined by the program manager. We expanded our scope to include the entire grant reporting period, which included FY2021, FY2022, and FY2023. We discovered that pension costs were included for all three fiscal years. All reported pension costs are included above under Questioned Costs. Cause: Policies and procedures have not been designed and implemented to ensure compliance with Activities Allowed or Unallowed and Allowable Costs. Effect: This condition narrowly resulted in noncompliance with federal requirements and could have resulted in misstated reports and undetected errors. This could have led to the loss of federal funds to the County. Recommendation: We recommend that the County implement necessary internal controls to ensure its compliance with the requirements of the Uniform Guidance. The County has adequate costs under the standard allowance to substitute for the questioned costs, which should be substituted for other government services’ costs. Management’s Response: Management’s response is provided within the corrective action plan on page I-103.

Corrective Action Plan

The County will implement necessary internal controls to ensure that expenditures included as allowable costs are in compliance with the requirements of the program and the Uniform Guidance.

SIGNIFICANT DEFICIENCY

During our review of the FY2023 performance report submitted by the County, we discovered that the reported grant expenditures did not match the underlying financial information. We expanded our scope to include the entire grant reporting period, which included FY2021, FY2022, and FY2023. We discovered that none of the (3) annual reports accurately reflected the expenditures reported on the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards. Cause: Policies and procedures have not been designed and implemented to ensure accurate reporting of grant expenditures in accordance with Uniform Guidance. Effect: This condition results in inaccurate reporting of grant expenditures to the grantor and could result the loss of federal funds to the County. Recommendation: We recommend that the County implement necessary internal controls to ensure its compliance with the requirements of the Uniform Guidance. Management’s Response: Management’s response is provided within the corrective action plan on page I-103.
