Such expenditures are recognized following the cost principles contained in the Uniform Guidance and the State Single Audit Guidelines. Under these principles, certain types of expenditures are not allowable or are limited as to reimbursement. Accrued revenue at year-end consists of federal and state program expenditures scheduled for reimbursement to the County in the succeeding year while unearned revenue represents advances for federal and state programs that exceed recorded County expenditures. Because of subsequent program adjustments, these amounts may differ from the prior year’s ending balances. De Minimis Rate Used: N Rate Explanation: The County has not elected to charge a de minimis rate of 10% of modified total costs. The accompanying schedules of expenditures of federal and state awards for the County are presented in accordance with the requirements of Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance) and the State Single Audit Guidelines issued by the Wisconsin Department of Administration.

Finding 2024-002
Condition The County has various policies and procedures in place to safeguard its assets and establish related controls over receipts, disbursements, payroll transactions and general ledger maintenance. Federal awards received and disbursed by the County are managed through these county-wide policies and procedures; however, the policies and procedures have not been evaluated to ensure compliance with requirements of Uniform Guidance. As an example, the County is required to have an allowable cost policy which establishes the responsible officials who are able to determine if a cost is allowable. While expenditures tested had documentation of approval, implementing a formal policy in accordance with Uniform Guidance would improve transparency and effectiveness of the County’s documentation. Questioned Costs None Context While performing audit procedures, it was noted that the County does not have policies in place that conform to Uniform Grant Guidance requirements. Cause The County has not finalized an assessment of its financial management system and related internal controls over federal awards, along with an evaluation of existing policies for compliance with Uniform Guidance by year-end. Effect The County could become noncompliant with requirements of Uniform Guidance, resulting in future findings and questioned costs related to federal awards administered by the County. Repeat Finding The finding is a repeat of a finding in the immediately prior year. Prior year finding number was 2023-002. Recommendation We recommend the County finalize the assessment of its financial management system and related internal controls over federal awards during 2025. This assessment should include an evaluation of existing policies and procedures to determine where additional enhancements should be made or new policies created, a plan to communicate these policies to County employees, and procedures to periodically review and update, as considered necessary. Views of Responsible Officials There is no disagreement with the audit finding.

Condition The County has various policies and procedures in place to safeguard its assets and establish related controls over receipts, disbursements, payroll transactions and general ledger maintenance. Federal awards received and disbursed by the County are managed through these county-wide policies and procedures; however, the policies and procedures have not been evaluated to ensure compliance with requirements of Uniform Guidance. As an example, the County is required to have an allowable cost policy which establishes the responsible officials who are able to determine if a cost is allowable. While expenditures tested had documentation of approval, implementing a formal policy in accordance with Uniform Guidance would improve transparency and effectiveness of the County’s documentation.
