Criteria: Complete controls over financial reporting include the ability to prepare consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements and the consolidated schedule of expenditures of federal awards that are materially correct and include all required disclosures. Condition: As auditors, we were requested to draft the consolidated financial statements from data provided by Valle del Sol, Inc. and Subsidiary. The data included material misstatements which, if not corrected through audit adjustments, would have resulted in consolidated financial statements that were materially misstated. Additionally, as part of audit procedures, we identified misstatements, including approximately $53,000 of expenditures related to the year ended June 30, 2021 for Assistance Listing No. 93.829 Section 223 Demonstration Programs to Improve Community Mental Health Services, which, if not corrected, would have resulted in the consolidated schedule of expenditures of federal awards to be materially misstated. Cause: Valle del Sol, Inc. and Subsidiary has limited staff to prepare full disclosure consolidated financial statements. In addition, there has been turnover in management and accounting. Valle del Sol, Inc. and Subsidiary prepared the consolidated SEFA, however there were errors identified as a result of audit procedures. Effect: There was material misstatement to the consolidated financial statements and consolidated SEFA that may not have been identified without assistance of auditors. Recommendation: While we recognize that this condition is not unusual for an organization with limited staffing, it is important that Valle del Sol, Inc. and Subsidiary is aware of this condition on financial reporting purposes. Management should continually be aware of the financial accounting and reporting of Valle del Sol, Inc. and Subsidiary and changes in the accounting and reporting requirements. Steps should be developed to ensure that all new funding sources are evaluated by management for inclusion or exclusion from the consolidated SEFA. Views of Responsible Officials: Management agrees with the finding.

Criteria: A complete system of internal controls requires all expenditures to be properly approved in a timely manner. In addition, all expenditures charged to federal programs are required to be allowable costs under the program and allocated in accordance with Valle del Sol, Inc. and Subsidiary?s cost allocation plan. Condition: The following conditions were identified: ? 36 out of 60 expenditures tested lacked timely approval of employees? actual time spent on the program. ? 5 out of 60 expenditures tested lacked employee signatures for certification of actual time spent on the program. ? 6 out of 60 expenditures tested were based on estimated fringe benefits. When compared to actual fringe benefits incurred, the amounts allocated to the program exceeded actual costs incurred. Cause: Due to the implementation of policy change occurring during the fiscal year, the new policy was implemented retrospectively. This resulted in an untimely approval process compared to when the expenditures were incurred. Additionally, due to an oversight by management, fringe benefits allocated to the program were based on predetermined budgets rather than actual fringe benefits incurred. Effect: Improper expenses may be paid and allocated to the federal programs or allocated at the wrong amount. Questioned Costs: Projected at approximately $34,000 Context/Sampling: A nonstatistical sample of 60 transactions out of 3,362 total transactions were selected for testing which accounted for $132,188 of $2,417,262 total federal program expenditures.
