Finding Details

Statement of Condition During our testing of compliance over reporting for the ARPA major program, we determined the City had not yet completed and submitted their annual Project and Expenditure Report due by April 30, 2022, via the online Treasury Submission Portal. The City attempted to complete the reporting, but received a technical error which prevented them from going further in the online Treasury Submission Portal. The City reached out to the website?s help contact, but did not receive adequate assistance to resolve the error in the online Treasury Submission Portal. The City was able to resolve the technical error, complete, and submit their report on November 1, 2022. Criteria Per the U.S. Treasury: ? Project and Expenditure Report: Report on financial data, projects funded, expenditures, and contracts and subawards over $50,000, and other information. Project and Expenditure Reports are due on a regular, recurring basis after the Interim Reports. The reporting frequency and deadlines vary by type of recipient and total allocation amount. Per the U.S. Treasury Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds website, the City of Gallup is a nonentitlement unit of government (NEU). NEUs were required to submit their annual Project and Expenditure Report on April 30, 2022 and then annually thereafter. Cause The City attempted to complete the reporting prior to the deadline, but received a technical error which prevented them from going further in the online Treasury Submission Portal. The City reached out to the website?s help contact about once a month, but did not receive adequate assistance to resolve the error until November 2022. Effect The City is not in compliance with the reporting requirements of the ARPA funds. Recommendation We recommend the City complete their Project and Expenditure Report via the online Treasury Submission Portal earlier than the required due date. Additionally, if the system gives a technical error we recommend the City contact the help contact more timely, in order to be able to submit the report by the deadline.
