Finding 2020-007 Lack of Internal Control Over Cash Management
Federal Agencies: U.S. Department of the Treasury
Federal Programs: Coronavirus Relief Fund
CFDA Numbers: 21.019
Award Number: SLT0591/0845/1405
Award Year: 2020
Type of Finding: Material weakness in internal control over compliance and material noncompliance.
Criteria: The requirement for cash management, as contained in 2 CFR 200.305, states advanced cash payments must be used only for applicable grant programs.
Condition and Context: Procedures related to cash management were inadequate to ensure that funds drawn down were not used for other grant expenditures. The Community’s cash balances at December 31, 2020 were $401,474 and total unearned revenue was $2,427,781, leading to a cash shortfall of $2,026,307. This resulted from the temporary borrowing of federal funds to pay expenses in the General Fund and other federal award programs. Deferred revenue as of December 31, 2020 was $631,800 in the Coronavirus Relief Fund.
Cause: Lack of internal controls over cash management.
Effect: The Community was not in compliance with 2 CFR 200.305 related to cash management requirements. Deposits were used to fund other programs of the Community.
Questioned costs: $2,026,307, which is the shortfall between cash balances and unearned revenue balances.
Repeat finding: This is a repeat of Finding 2019-007; therefore, we believe this to be a systemic issue.
Recommendation: We recommend the Community monitor grant budgets and drawdowns throughout the year and ensure that program funds are not being lent or borrowed between programs in an effort to ensure that unearned revenue balances do not exceed total cash.
Management Response: Management agrees with this finding, see Corrective Action Plan.

Finding 2020-008 Lack of Internal Controls Over Activities Allowed or Unallowed and Allowable Costs/Cost Principles
Federal Agencies: U.S. Department of the Treasury
Federal Programs: Coronavirus Relief Fund
CFDA Numbers: 21.019
Award Number: SLT0591/0845/1405
Award Year: 2020
Type of Finding: Material weakness in internal control over compliance and material noncompliance.
Criteria: Per OMB 200.403(a) costs should be necessary and reasonable for the performance of the federal award.
Condition and Context: The Community could not provide adequate supporting documentation for costs charged to the Coronavirus Relief Fund. During our review of non-payroll costs charged to the program, the Community could not provide supporting documentation (invoice, check request, or management approval) for 18 of the 27 non-payroll transactions charged to the program.
Cause: Lack of internal controls over supporting documentation and approval over expenditures charged to the programs.
Effect: Lack of internal control over cash disbursements pose the risk that the Community will expend federal funds for non-grant purposes.
Questioned costs: Actual and likely questioned costs are below the reporting threshold of $25,000.
Repeat finding: This is a repeat of Finding 2019-008, therefore, we believe this to be a systemic issue.
Recommendation: We recommend that management implement policies and procedures to ensure that only allowable costs are charged to the program and that supporting documentation be kept for all transactions.

Finding 2020-009 Lack of Internal Controls Over Activities Allowed or Unallowed and Allowable Costs/Costs Principles
Federal Agencies: U.S. Department of the Treasury
Federal Programs: Coronavirus Relief Fund
CFDA Numbers: 21.019
Award Number: SLT0591/0845/1405
Award Year: 2020
Type of Finding: Material weakness in internal control over compliance and material noncompliance.
Criteria: Per 2 CFR part 200.430, personnel expenses recorded into a federal program must be based on records that accurately reflect the work performed. Hourly employees should be paid for hours worked and documented through a system of internal controls which provides reasonable assurance that the charges are accurate, allowable and properly allocated. Internal controls procedures should be in place to ensure that all cash disbursements and payroll transactions are adequately supported by documentation, approved with accurate account coding on the approval form, retained for support either in the vendor, employee, or program file.
Condition and Context: During our testing of payroll transactions charged to the program, we noted that the Community is incorrectly calculating the gross pay from the timesheets. The Community is taking the employee’s hourly rate multiplied by the hours worked with minutes calculated using 100 minutes per hour instead of 60 minutes. This results in an underpayment on any partial hour worked. Additionally, we noted that nearly all employees tested did not have approved pay rates in their personnel files.
Cause: Lack of internal controls over payroll transactions.
Effect: Lack of internal control over payroll transactions poses the risk that the Community will expend federal funds for non-grant purposes.
Questioned costs: None noted. In all cases noted, the employees were under paid.
Repeat finding: This is a repeat of Finding 2019-009, therefore, we believe this to be a systemic issue.
Recommendation: We recommend that management implement policies and procedures to ensure that all paychecks are supported by an approved pay rate, hours worked agree to the hours paid and are accurately calculated.
