Recommendation: We recommend procedures be strengthened to ensure that all requests for reimbursement are for expenditures that have been incurred and paid/disbursed. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Name(s) of the contact person(s) responsible for corrective action: Nick Robertson, Town Accountant Planned completion date for corrective action plan: The reconciliation meetings were reintroduced in December 2022 upon Nick Robertson’s hiring as Town Accountant. There have been monthly and/or as needed meetings since to reconcile ledgers before grant reimbursements are submitted. Action taken in response to finding: Prior to the turnover in the Finance Department which occurred during the FY22 to early FY23 period, there were consistent meetings between Finance/Accounting and Jacobs Engineering (they manage the Airport projects and prepare the reimbursement requests) to confirm that the Town’s accounting software matched the expenses on the reimbursement requests. These meetings reconciling the ledgers did not occur when this reimbursement request was submitted by Jacobs. These meetings have been reinstated on a monthly basis and occasionally more frequently as needed.

ALN: 21.027, Corrective Action Plan: Inadequate Subrecipient Monitoring - ARPA - DNRC - The Montana Department of Natural Resources and Conservation partially concurs with finding 2023-015 because it disagrees with the interpretation that subrecipient monitoring must occur within a specified time period and believes controls were in place during the audit period. Additionally, because the department's policy is to assign every subrecipient the same risk level until an assessment is completed, it believes it is following subrecipient monitoring requirements. As such, the department will continue to evaluate risk through a subrecipient survey and designate any subrecipient as medium risk if a survey is not completed and returned. The department has enhanced related internal controls by noting in its Risk Assessment and Subrecipient Monitoring Guidance that the agency may withhold reimbursement payments if a subrecipient fails to complete a risk survey. Additionally, the DNRC continues to perform subrecipient monitoring requirements, including verifying compliance with the Single Audit Act.  The agency has enhanced related internal controls by adding a process to review the Montana Department of Administration’s Local Government Audit Findings Report and requesting corrective actions from noncompliant subrecipients.
