OTHER MATTERS

The Parish requested $1,269,084 of Coronavirus Relief Funds of which $141,837 was denied and $1,127,247 was allowed. Of the amount allowed $317,141 was reimbursed to the Parish based on allocating Relief funds to Parishes and to individual governments within each Parish. Out of a population of 616 payroll transactions totaling $1,197,065, a sample of 38 was selected for testing. One of the 38 was to request reimbursement for retirement expenses in the amount of $40 that were not paid. Two of the 38 transactions totaling $2,862 did not have supporting documentation due to the employee not working during the pay period selected for testing. And an additional two of the 38 transactions charged to the program totaling $5,375 were for an individual whose salary is paid for through another Federal grant. Questioned Costs: Not determinable. Cause: Due to the fast pace of the COVID-19 pandemic, strict timelines for disbursement of fund, and the manner in which funds were being disbursed; management submitted as much data to the State as possible for reimbursement. Effect: The Parish may be in non-compliance with the Uniform Guidance Allowable Costs standards. Recommendation: The Parish should implement procedures to enable an effective review of reimbursement requests prior to submission to ensure all costs requested are legitimate. View of Responsible Official: Because of the strict timelines to submit requests for reimbursements during a period when staff was at a minimum, administration used a third party contractor to request reimbursement. Administration normally has an effective review process for reimbursement requests. This was a unique occurrence that is not expected to happen again.
