MATERIAL WEAKNESS

The original SEFA provided by the District for fiscal year ended June 30, 2020, did not properly include the federal expenditures for the WIFIA program. Questioned costs: None. Context: The WIFIA program's federal expenditures total $16,229,525. Cause: The funding received through the WIFIA program is a loan that the District has to repay. The District did not make any drawdowns on the loan as of June 30, 2020. As such, the District was unaware they needed to consider the WIFIA program when preparing the SEFA. Effect: With the inclusion of the WIFIA program on the SEFA, the District's federal expenditures exceeded $750,000 and a single audit was required but was not completed and submitted to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse within the required timeframe. Repeat Finding: The is not a repeat finding. Recommendation: We recommend the District implement effective internal controls to ensure that annual expenditures for all Federal grant programs are accurately included on the SEFA.

Corrective Action Plan

Views of responsible officials: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: In the past, the task of gathering data and completing the SEFA information was assigned to the Financial Analyst (Grants) with final review by Controller. Due to the increase in number of Federal and State grants and loans processed coupled with effect of Covid 19 on personnel, there was a minor discrepancy on the FY 2020 SEFA report. Effective immediately, the Senior Accountant is assigned to assist in gathering data and reconciling the project information with the SEFA report prior to submission to the Controller for final review. Name(s) of the contact person(s) responsible for corrective action: Karrie Swaine, Controller. Planned completion date for corrective action plan: The corrective action was completed immediately.
