2025-001 Aging Cluster-Special Programs for the Aging, Title III, Part B, Grants for Supportive Services and Senior Centers- Assistance Listing No. 93.044. Special Programs for the Aging, Title III, Part C, Nutrition Services- Assistance Listing No. 93.045. Nutrition Services Incentive Program- Assistance Listing No. 93.053 Criteria: 2 CFR 200.430(g)(I) states, "Charges to Federal awards for salaries and wages must be based on records that accurately reflect the work performed. These records must: (i) Be supported by a system of internal control that provides reasonable assurance that the charges are accurate, allowable, and properly allocated…” Condition: Out of forty payroll transactions tested, we noted 14 instances where part-time employees did not have their timecard approved by their supervisor. We consider this condition to be a material weakness relating to the Allowable Costs/Cost Principles compliance requirement. Statistical sampling was not used in making sample selections. Cause and effect: Without proper review of hours worked, there may be portions of pay charged to a federal award where the employee did not work or did not work on the program for the related federal award. Questioned Costs: N/A Recommendation: We recommend that DuPage Senior Citizens Council reviews their policies and procedures to ensure all hourly employees have their timecards reviewed and approved by individuals who work closely with the individual and would be aware of the hours worked. Views of Responsible Officials: Management agrees with this Single Audit Finding and response is included in the Corrective Action Plan.
