SIGNIFICANT DEFICIENCYREPEAT OF 2018-001

2019-001: Criteria: Absence of qualified accounting personnel. Condition and Context: For the year ended September 30, 2019 the Authority does not have a staff member qualified to prepare reports of financial information in accordance with either the accrual, modified accrual, or modified cash basis of accounting. Cause: The Agency is limited in employees and funding, and does not have the resources to hire appropriate knowledgeable accounting personnel. Effect or Potential Effect: The inability to properly produce reports on the accrual, modified accrual, and modified-cash basis increases the risk of misstatement and increases fraud risks. Recommendation: It is not feasible for small entities to hire additional personnel. Thus, the Authority will need to continue to seek outside guidance for new accounting pronouncements and preparation of the financial statements. Repeat Finding: Repeat of prior year finding 2018-001. Recommendation: It is not feasible for small entities to hire additional personnel. Thus you will need to continue to seek outside guidance for new pronouncements and preparation of the financial statements. Responsible Official's Response: Management will continue to consult outside guidance for new accounting pronouncements and preparation of the financial statements. Planned Implementation Date of Corrective Action: On going basis. Person Responsible for Corrective Action: Director
