Finding Details

Criteria: The Borough passed these funds through to two local healthcare organizations. The Borough?s agreement with the subrecipients required monthly reports and invoices be supplied to the Borough. Condition and Context: During our compliance testing of 3 out of a possible 18 monthly reports that were remitted from the subrecipients to the Borough during fiscal year 2022, it was determined that one of the subrecipients was not reporting on a monthly basis as required in the subrecipient agreement. Cause: Lack of internal controls over subrecipient monitoring. Effect: Failure to properly monitor subrecipients could result in a number of unintended consequences, from unallowed costs being incurred or report deadlines being missed due to lack of adequate information from the subrecipients. Questioned Costs: None noted. Repeat Finding: This is not a repeat finding and we consider this an isolated instance. Recommendation: We recommend that management enforces subrecipient agreements and follows-up anytime deadlines are missed to ensure compliance with grant requirements.
