Corrective Action Plan

The Single Audit was not completed and submitted within the required timeframe due to a combination of factors, including delays in submitting supporting documentation, and staffing constraints due to implementing new payroll software during the audit. Management has completed the FY2025 audit and issued the financial statements. To prevent recurrence the city has established earlier deadlines for the completion of year end close, federal award schedules, and supporting documentation along with periodic progress reviews with external auditors. Effectiveness will be measured by timely issuance of audited financial statements in accordance with all regulatory and stakeholder requirements beginning with the FY2026 audit cycle. Angela Middaugh, the Director of Finance of the City, will be responsible for monitoring progress and allocating the necessary resources for timely issuance.

MATERIAL WEAKNESS

The audit was not completed by the deadline. Cause: The City continued to experience delays in its financial reporting and completion of audits since 2020 when the City faced staffing difficulties. Effect: The City was not in compliance with federal regulations and guidelines for the single audit submission. Recommendation: The City should implement controls for filing federal financial reports in a timely manner. Management’s Response and Planned Corrective Action: In the past few years, the City has experienced turnover in management from the City Clerk, Finance Director, and the HR Director along with being significantly understaffed. With the stabilization of appropriate staffing levels along with appropriate procedures, and clear job duties this should no longer be an issue. The Mayor and City Clerk have sent out instructions to all department heads that the documentation for all grants must be sent to the Admin Department.
