Cash Management

CFDA No. and Name: 20.509 Formula Grants for Rural Areas Award Number and Years: GRT-18-0007109-T FY19-20 Federal Agency: US Department of Transportation Compliance Requirement: Cash Management Questioned Cost: None Criteria: Program requirements call for the Town to be reimbursed for expenditures incurred. Condition and context: In April 2020, the Town submitted a request for reimbursement which included administrative overhead in excess of allowable grant amounts. The Town was reimbursed $75,397 in excess of allowable amounts up to that period of time. In subsequent periods, in order to correct the over-reimbursement, the Arizona Department of Transportation reduced the reimbursement amounts for subsequent periods to correct the $75,397 excess. Cause and Effect: The Town?s administrative overhead allocation exceeded amounts allowable under the grant agreement. The effect was that the Town received reimbursement for amounts in excess of the allowable administrative overhead costs and was in effect, able to receive an advance on future expenditures. The advance was not spent until four to five months after the date the advance was received. Recommendation: Management should implement controls over the recognition of administrative overhead to the transit program in the general ledger. Monthly reimbursement requests should be reviewed by management to ensure that reimbursement requests submitted to the State do not exceed allowable amounts. Management?s Response: The Town and the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) have agreed to an administrative allocation percentage of 15.71%. Management in the Finance Department and Copper Mountain Transit Authority will review reimbursement requests each month to ensure that reimbursement requests submitted to ADOT do not exceed allowable amounts.
