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 County, it is not intended to and does not present the financial position, changes in net position, or cash flows of the County.

Finding Details

Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Program Name: Highway Planning and Construction Assistance Listing Number: 20.205 Federal Award Identification Number and Year: 082-090-010, 082-638-015, 082-030-007, 082-612-025, 082-596-005 Pass-Through Agency: Minnesota Department of Transportation Pass-Through Numbers: 082-090-010, 082-638-015, 082-030-007, 082-612-025, 082-596-005 Award Period: Year-Ended December 31, 2025 Type of Finding: Significant Deficiency in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting Criteria or Specific Requirement: County management should be aware of the need to have adequate policies and procedures in place for timely reimbursement requests for highway projects. Condition: Policies and procedures in place for timely reimbursement requests will ensure that the County is receiving funds it is owed. In addition, this will ensure there are no cash flow shortages and increase opportunities for investment earnings. Questioned Costs: None. Context: A reimbursement request for work performed in 2024 (work certified as of Nov. 2024) was not submitted until June 2025. In addition, two other pay requests received in 2025 should have been recorded as accruals in 2024 when the expense was incurred and reported. Cause: The County had one highway project for which costs were incurred in October and November 2024, and the related reimbursement was submitted and approved in June 2025. Repeat Finding: No. Recommendation: We recommend County management review internal controls currently in place and design and implement procedures to request reimbursements in a timelier fashion and to submit requests for reimbursements on at least a quarterly basis. Views of Responsible Officials: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. The County will implement procedures to ensure timely submission of reimbursement requests.
