Finding 2021-001 Lack of Internal Control over Activities Allowed or Unallowed and Allowable Costs/Cost Principles Federal Agencies: U.S. Department of the Interior Federal Programs: Compact of Self Governance Assistance Listing Numbers: 15.022 Award Numbers: GT-OSGT269-19 Award Years: 2019 Type of Finding: Significant deficiency in internal control over compliance and noncompliance. Criteria: Proper internal controls over payroll and current policies require that employees are paid according to their authorized and approved pay rate. Condition and Context: During our testing of payroll transactions charged to the program, we noted that one employee was paid at a rate lower than documentation for their approved pay rate. Cause: Lack of internal controls over payroll transactions charged to the program. Effect: Lack of internal control over payroll transactions could lead to employees being paid the incorrect wage for hours worked leading to incorrect costs being reimbursed by the program. Repeat Finding: This was not a repeat finding and we believe this to be an isolated issue. Questioned Costs: None reported as the actual rate being paid to the employee was under the approved rate. Recommendation: We recommend that management follows existing policies and procedures to ensure correct wages are paid to employees. Management Response: Management agrees with this finding, see Corrective Action Plan.
