Cost Allowability
SIGNIFICANT DEFICIENCYREPEAT OF 2018-002

Management was unable to provide appropriate support for some of the direct costs charged to the grant, although the costs were allowable. Some unallowable direct costs were charged to the grant, however, the amounts were not material ($345). Questioned Costs: N/A Context: We tested a sample of 60 transactions billed to the program totaling $38,766 from a population of $1,044,720. Sample was a statistically valid sample. Effect: The Organization could not demonstrate that it had sufficient controls in place to prevent unallowable costs from being billed to the major program. Repeat Finding: This is a repeat of a finding in the immediate prior year. Prior year finding was 2018-002. Cause: The internal control system failed to prevent and detect errors caused by the accountant. Recommendation: We recommend the Organization design controls to ensure an adequate review process in place to review invoices and grant billings are accurate. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions: Management is in agreement with the finding. See corrective action plan.

Corrective Action Plan

CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN For the Year Ended June 30, 2019 Northwest Resource Associates respectfully submits the following corrective action plan for the year ended June 30, 2019. Name and address of the independent public accounting firm: CliftonLarsonAllen, LLP 1325 Fourth Avenue Suite 1705 Seattle, WA 98101-2528 Audit period: For the year ended June 30, 2019 Our response to the findings from the schedule of findings and questioned costs is as follows: FINDINGS ? Federal Awards Significant Deficiency in Internal Control over Compliance 2019-001 Recommendation: We recommend the Organization design controls to ensure an adequate review process in place to review invoices and grant billings are accurate. Corrective Action Planned: The deficiency was due to accountant error. The unallowable direct costs (which totaled $76.88, or 0.2% of the sampled costs) were caught during the routine monthly costs review that is part of our internal control procedure.However when notified to correct the error, the accountant on staff at the time failed to do so. We have since replaced that staff member by a new accountant that has the skills and experience we need to maintain our internal controls as they were intended to work. Our new accountant has been with us since the start of FY 2020 and has been very diligent about collecting appropriate support for all costs. We do not expect any findings on the next audit.
