Audit 402110

Reconciliations and Material Adjustments Condition: At the time of audit fieldwork, Community Council of Idaho had not reconciled and closed its grant and contract revenue accounts. As a result, Wipfli LLP proposed and management posted adjusting journal entries to grants receivabl and grant revenue. There were also entries to during the audit to correct property and equipment, pharmaceutical inventory, notes payable, depreciation expense, and interest expense. As Community Council of Idaho’s internal controls did not discover these adjustments prior to the audit, a material weakness exists in Community Council of Idaho’s internal controls over financial reporting. Community Council of Idaho also experienced delays in issuing the June 30, 2025, audited financial statements which were due March 31, 2026. Criteria: An accounting system should provide timely and accurate information for management. The reconciliation of account balances is an integral internal control activity to determine that stated account balances are accurately and fairly reported. Management should reconcile general ledger accounts to subsidiary ledgers and other supporting documents in a timely and effective manner. Federal Regulation 2 CFR 200.302(4) requires that an organization have…Effective control over, and accountability for, all funds, property, and other assets." Furthermore, Federal Regulation 2 CFR 200.512(a) requires audits be submitted nine months after the end of the audit period. Cause: During the audit year, Community Council of Idaho experienced turnover in its business office while preparing for the audit which contributed to the lack of adequate and timely closing procedures, account reconciliations, and review processes. Effect: A material weakness in internal control over financial reporting exists as a result of these matters. Auditor's Recommendations: Accounts should be reconciled monthly with the adjustments posted timely so that management is relying on accurate financial information to make decisions. We recommend management and those charged with governance evaluate the operation of the business office and implement adequate and timely closing procedures to ensure that financial statement amounts are being reconciled, reviewed, and adjusted in a timely manner. Clinic reporting systems and procedures should be evaluated and revised. View of Responsible Officials: Management agrees with the assessment and subsequent to year end, steps were taken to correct the matter.
