Cost Allowability
SIGNIFICANT DEFICIENCY

We identified two inconsistencies in controls related to payroll processes. Cause: The condition occurred primarily because of having either an ineffective or no monthly and year-end control activity designed and implemented to verify payroll information was properly recorded and approved. Effect: Amounts recorded in payroll may be unauthorized or inaccurate. Without a properly designed process and review controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud could occur and not be detected. Questioned Costs: None. Context: We tested one hundred percent of payroll costs for four employees. In one out of the four employees selected for testing, proper approval for employee pay raise was not documented. In addition, for another one of the four employees tested, the employee record was not timely deactivated upon employment termination. Recommendation: We recommend management implement a termination checklist that the payroll administrator completes for each terminated employee before the next payroll is processed. The deactivation of employee record in the payroll system should be one of the steps on the checklist. Additionally, we recommend that all pay raise letters have proper documented approval before being processed in the payroll system. Views of Responsible Official: See next page

Corrective Action Plan

This condition existed due to multiple payroll systems used during the last two audit periods and untrained personnel. Current staff is fully trained on a new payroll system and capable of maintaining our newly developed processes and controls. Anicipated completion date is at the completion of the 2024 audit. Responsible contact person is Caitlin Cole, Human Resources manager.
