Finding Details

Condition: During the audit process, a material audit adjustment was identified. The adjustment pertained to recording the current year depreciation expense. Effect: A control deficiency exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees in the normal course of performing their assigned functions to prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis. This could affect the Organization’s ability to initiate, record, process, and report financial data consistent with the assertion of management in the financial statements. Cause: The management agent did not make all necessary adjustments to the financial statements prior to the audit process. Criteria: The Organization should have procedures in place and these procedures must be followed to ensure all necessary adjustments are made to the financial statements. Recommendation: We recommend that the Organization verifies all necessary adjustments are made to the financial statements prior to the audit process. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions: The Organization agrees with the finding and the auditor’s recommendations will be adopted.
Condition: The Organization has established internal controls over compliance for the major federal programs; however, these controls failed for the reserve for replacements account deposit. Effect: The Organization did not follow it’s established controls for compliance with the requirement to make monthly deposits into the reserve for replacements account, and as a result, the Organization is not in compliance with this requirement of the federal programs. Cause: The Organization bypassed the established controls over this compliance requirement. Criteria: The Organization should have control procedures in place to ensure all compliance requirements applicable to the federal programs are met. Questioned Costs: There are no questioned costs associated with this finding. Context: During our examination of compliance with all program requirements we noted one instance of internal controls not preventing noncompliance with the requirements of the federal program. Recommendation: We recommend that the Organization ensure that the appropriate controls established over the federal program compliance requirements are being followed. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions: The Organization agrees with the finding and the auditor’s recommendations will be adopted.
Condition: We noted that the required deposit to the reserve for replacements account was not made before the end of the current fiscal year. Effect: The Organization was not in compliance with the requirement to make the required deposit into the reserve for replacements account in a timely manner. Cause: The minimum required deposit was not made until after the current fiscal year end. Management was aware of the amount required to be deposited; however, the processing of the transfer was missed. Criteria: The Organization should make the required deposit to the reserve for replacements account on a timely basis. Questioned Costs: There are no questioned costs associated with this finding. Context: $2,177 of the required deposit should have been made by September 30, 2023. Recommendation: We recommend that the Organization ensure that the required deposit to the reserve for replacements account be made on a timely basis.
