Cost Allowability
SIGNIFICANT DEFICIENCY

The disbursements tested none of them had written approval to be paid. Questioned Costs: No questioned costs. Context: We test 40 disbursements of which none had written proof of review or approval to be processed. Cause: Management visually/verbally reviewed disbursement before processing but did not realize they needed to document that review and approval process. Effect: Unnecessary or unapproved expenses could be processed and charged to federal programs. Repeat Finding: No Recommendation: Management should take the extra time needed to document their approval process as required by federal regulations. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Action: Management agrees with the finding 2021-00 I - No documented approval of disbursements before checks were processed. RYSE has already taken steps to document approval of expenses prior to payment by program manager. The grant administrator and executive director will be a second level check for documented approval prior to payment of expenses.
