Per review of the Compliance and Reporting Guidance for the SLFRF program, metropolitan cities with a population below 250,000 residents that are allocated less than $10 million in SLRFR funding are required to submit a quarterly Project and Expenditure Report. Condition: During our review of the federal program, we noted that the City did not submit the required report for Quarter 4 (2022) and submitted the Quarter 1 (2023) report late. Cause: The City lacks internal controls over the reporting deadlines for the program. Effect: Without proper internal controls, the City cannot prevent or detect reporting deadlines. Failure to submit the Project and Expenditure Report timely may lead to noncompliance with federal requirements. Questioned Costs: $0 Recommendation: We recommend the City adhere to the Compliance and Reporting Guidance for the SLFRF program and establish internal controls to ensure the City submits required reports when they are due.
