Corrective Action Plan

4. Deficiency #4 a. Material Weakness ? Adequate controls were not in place to ensure the schedule of expenditures of federal awards and related long-term debt and grant receivables were accurate at year end 2020, affecting the beginning balance of 2021. b. Plan of Action ? As this is an audit from two years ago, we acknowledge the deficiency at that time. The single error in FY 2020, on an unprecedented federal funds-related debt issue for the City, was part of deliverables by the City?s independent consultant when the City did not have staff experience or ability for oversight of such potential errors. In Fiscal Year 2021, we began replacing departing Finance staff with new personnel having significantly greater public accounting training and experience. This has enabled a movement to less dependence upon anoutside consultant of unpredictable availability for most bookkeeping needs, during FY 2022. The City Finance Department also created and implemented comprehensive, new internal control procedures in FY 2022 which will also serve as a remedy. c. Timeframe for implementation ? We have already implemented these changes as of FY 23.
