MATERIAL WEAKNESS

The City hired an independent third-party to review the subrecipient?s compliance with eligibility and allowable expenses, but the procedures were not designed to test period of performance. The testing indicated small differences that were not followed up to know if it was an indication of a larger problem with the processing of the applications. The reports filed did not agree to the reports the subrecipient provided for total expenditures for the year by approximately $142,000. All three quarterly reports were due on October 29, 2021, but were not filed until November 19, 2021. Cause: The City did hire an independent third party to review the subrecipient?s compliance with eligibility and allowable expenses; however, no follow up action was taken on the small discrepancies noted in eligibility and allowable expense testing performed by an independent third party. There was no reconciliation of reports prepared by a grant consultant prior to them being filed. Effect: There may be unallowable expenses, and the reports submitted were late and inaccurate. Questioned Costs: None Perspective: There was one subrecipient for this grant for the City to monitor. There was no review for all of the monthly and quarterly reports submitted, and all three quarterly reports were submitted late. Recommendation: The City should have a process to follow up on the subrecipients for any discrepancies during monitoring. The City should reconcile the detail reports to the underlying data from the subrecipient. Even though the City cannot resubmit any reports to the Treasury, the current reports should be adjusted to reflect accurate cumulative data. Someone other than the preparer, prior to submission, should review the reports. Response: See attached Corrective Action Plan.
