Cash Management
SIGNIFICANT DEFICIENCYREPEAT OF 2022-002OTHER MATTERS

The Organization does not have written procedures around cash management and requests to draw down funds from the federal agency were in excess of current expenditures, resulting in excess time between the transfer of funds and disbursement by the Organization. Effect: As of December 31, 2023, $28,141 of funds had been drawn down from the federal agency in excess of expenditures. Cause: The Organization tracks federal expenditures in the accounting software and the individual that requests the funds from the federal agency does not verify the amount of expenditures with the accounting software and requests an estimated amount each month. Identification of repeat finding: This is a repeat finding from a previous audit. Recommendation: We recommend the Organization develop written policies and procedures around cash management and request funds monthly based on the actual expenditures of that month to minimize the time elapsing between the transfer of funds from the U.S. Treasury and disbursement by the Organization. Views of responsible officials and planned corrective actions: The Organization agrees with this finding and has created written policies and procedures around cash management.

The Organization must establish written procedures around cash management and must minimize the time elapsing between the transfer of funds from the U.S. Treasury and disbursement by the Organization.

Corrective Action Plan

By the end of 2023, the organization adjusted processes surrounding cash management. Since December of 2023, the organization has requested funds after the end of the month based on the actual expenditures of that month to minimize the time elapsing between the transfer of funds from the grant program and disbursement by the organization. However, the audit firm is recommending that the process be in the form of written policies and procedures. We have complied and are following written policies, however the policies were not created before the end of 2023. The change in processing occured immediately upon notification, effective December 6, 2023.
