Notes to SEFA

The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards (the “Schedule”) presents the expenditure activity of all federal awards of the City of Opa-Locka, Florida (the “City”) for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024. The information in this Schedule is 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). Because the Schedule presents only a selected portion of the operations of the City, it is not intended to and does not present the financial position, changes in net position/fund balance or cash flows of the City.

Finding Details

Criteria 2 CFR Section 200.512(a) requires the reporting package and DCF to be submitted to the Federal Audit Cleminghouse the earlier of thirty calendar days after the reports are received from the auditor or nine months after the end of the audit period. Condition Due to the delay in financial close of the City's books and records, a federal single audit for fiscal year 2024 was not performed in a timely manner and the DCF was not submitted by its due date of June 30, 2025. The UG requires the reporting package and DCF to be submitted to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse the earlier of 30 calendar days after the reports are received from the auditor or nine months after the City's year end. Cause Due to significant turnover in the City's finance department, there was a lack of timely reviews of account reconciliations and schedules for year-end closing procedures which ultimately delayed the completion of the audit. Effect The City is not in compliance with 2 CFR Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards. Recommendation Management should implement policies to ensure timely financial reporting and ensure the timely completion of an audit.
