Completion and Submission of Annual Single Audit – Significant Deficiency
All Major Federal Programs
Repeat Finding: Yes
Criteria: Pursuant to the provisions of the Uniform Guidance, under section 200.512(a), the County is required to complete and submit its Single Audit and related Data Collection Form within 9 months of the end of its fiscal period (September 30) of the following year.
Condition/Context: The County's Single Audit and reporting package was delayed for the year ended December 31, 2023, beyond the 9-month due date. As part of the County's year-end close, the Children and Youth federal revenues and expenditures were not timely reconciled between the programmatic reports and the general ledger leading to incomplete and inaccurate information being included in the County's general ledger system and incomplete information for the County’s Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards. The June 30, 2023 reconciliation was not completed until June 2024 and the December 31, 2023 reconciliation and necessary adjustments were not completed until October 2024.
Effect: The County is not in compliance with certain requirements of the Uniform Guidance, including the Single Audit reporting requirements.
Questioned Costs: None noted.
Cause: The Children and Youth Fund reconciliations of federal activity and preparation of the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards were not completed timely due to staffing limitations, which delayed the completion and filing of the County’s December 31, 2023 Single Audit and reporting package. Internal controls were not effective.
Recommendation: We recommend that County management review its staffing and personnel responsibilities to prioritize the completion of its audit responsibilities within the prescribed timeframes.
