Questioned Costs: A total of $10,061 questioned cost, including $2,615 that was claimed under other federal grants. Effect: Failure to reconcile grants promptly could lead to errors and delays in recognizing and addressing program discrepancies. It may also result in improper claims against grant funds. Auditor’s Recommendation: We recommend implementing monthly grant claim reconciliations based on actual monthly expenses. In cases where adjustments are necessary, we advise submitting timely amendment claims for the respective month. Grantee Response: We acknowledge the finding of the audit regarding the overclaimed amounts and the need for improved reconciliation and claim adjustments. We will implement a review procedure to enhance accountability and transparency in managing federal and state grant funds.
