Criteria: The County is a recipient of the U.S. Treasury funds from the American Rescue Plan Act. As a recipient, the County is required to complete annual reporting indicating the number of projects the funds were utilized for. Condition and Context: During review of the 2022 and 2023 annual reporting, there was noindication of projects or expenditures applicable for projects. Known Questioned Costs: None, compliance reporting requirement not met. Cause: The error was not detected by County management's review process.
