Finding: Reporting U.S. Department of Treasury, passed through the County of Victoria Program: COVID-19 Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds – 21.027 Criteria or Specific Requirement: According to the 2021 Interim Final Rule, 2022 Final Rule, 2023 Interim Final Rule, and Obligation Interim Final Rule at 31 CFR Part 35, Subpart A, recipients of Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (SLFRF) are required to accurately report the amounts expended in their progress reports. The reported amounts should reflect the total expenditures on an accrual basis, as specified in the grant agreement and the compliance supplement. Condition: The Center had discrepancies between the amounts reported in the quarterly progress reports and the actual expenditures. Specifically, the amounts reported in the progress reports did not accurately reflect the total expenditures incurred during the reporting period by a net of $89,900. Questioned Costs: None Context: We tested the four reports submitted during the reporting period to determine whether each report was completed timely and accurately and performed in compliance with the grant agreement and U.S. Department of Treasury guidelines. Of the four reports tested, two reports contained discrepancies between the amounts reported in the quarterly progress reports and the actual expenditures. Specifically, the Center reported the "Total ARPA SLFRF Funds Expended to Date" for both Progress Reports 14 and 15 as $1,221,507 and $1,815,853, respectively. However, Progress Report 14 and 15's actual "Total ARPA SLFRF Funds Expended to Date" totaled $1,425,720 and $1,905,753, repsectively, resulting in a variance of $204,213 and $114,313, respectively, on the progress report. The net variance was $89,900. Effect: The Center submitted two required reports with a material error in reported information. Federal oversight agencies, including the U.S. Department of Treasury and the County of Victoria, depend on accurate reporting to ensure proper spending of the award and compliance with payment terms and conditions. Cause: The Center did not have adequate controls or procedures in place to identify the applicable reporting requirements and ensure the required reports for federal awards include all activity of the reporting period, are supported by applicable accounting or performance records, and are fairly presented in accordance with the Uniform Guidance. Identification as a Repeat Finding: See prior year finding 2024-001. Recommendation: We recommend policies and procedures over federal grant reporting be modified to ensure required reports are properly and accurately completed using the correct financial information. In addition, we recommend all underlying supporting calculations be reviewed for completeness and accuracy. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions: The Center agrees with the finding. See separate report for planned corrective action.
