Two mitigation steps are to require a wet signature or a confirmation box that requires gouging through the document prior to administrator approval, and to reduce the amount of grant monitoring work on a single employee by reducing the responsibilities from nine districts to one single district as we move to RSU #48

The County Board does not believe the finding is appropriate. The Recipient "partner" was not an elected official at the time of application or award. The funds were utilized to restore a building located in the County and owned by a County resident. The County Board believes that this award falls within the parameters of economic development, one of the allowable uses of the funds. Again, the Auditor has failed to provide any legal basis for the belief of the Auditing Firm or what legal opinion they relied upon in forming their beliefs.

CONDITION: During the calendar year 2023, the City did not record the necessary adjustments to the various ‘Fund’ general ledgers of the City to properly reconcile certain balance sheet accounts, such as interfund receivables and payables, and payroll-related liabilities to the underlying supporting documentation available at the City. This included the City’s Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program. As a result, the financial position and results of operations as shown throughout the calendar year were inaccurately stated. CRITERIA: Prudent internal control procedures in the areas of general ledger management and financial reporting include the reconciliation of all general ledger account balances to underlying supporting documentation monthly with independent oversight and approval as part of the process. In specific as it relates to federal programs, Section 2 CFR 200.403(g) of the Uniform Guidance requires that federal costs must be adequately documented which would include the City’s Federal Programs general ledger which accounts for the financial activity of the City’s Community Development Block Grant Program.MANAGEMENT’S CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN: Management of the City is reviewing the options as presented by the Audit Firm’s recommendation for feasibility considering current manpower, expertise, and budgetary constraints. In addition, the City plans to ensure that written procedures for all accounting functions are implemented, reviewed and updated as necessary with the objective of ensuring that all applicable balance sheet account balances are accurate and supported by the underlying documentation available at the City. The City is currently in continuous communication with the Audit Firm for specific recommendations regarding the handling of interfund receivables and payables, and payroll-related liabilities, so as to ensure the accuracy of the City’s financial reporting. The timeframe for completion of this review will occur during the first six months of calendar year 2026 with the intention of having the City be in full compliance with Section 2 CFR 200.403(g) of the Uniform Guidance which requires federal costs to be adequately documented which would include the applicable general ledgers of the City.

Contact Person: Iftin Hagimohamed; Chief Financial Officer Stephanie Sosa: Finance Manager Explanation and specific reasons for disagreement with the audit finding or that corrective action is not required (if applicable): Management partially disagrees with the characterization of the finding. The Organization had an established cost allocation methodology in place and provided documentation outlining the allocation basis and percentages applied to shared nonpayroll costs. The allocation methodology was reasonable, consistently applied, and based on operational usage. The matter identified during audit testing relates to a difference in interpretation regarding the allocation percentage applied to certain costs. The federal project expected 100% allocation of specific costs directly to the program, whereas the Organization allocated costs proportionally based on a documented cost allocation methodology. The variance was not due to a lack of methodology, but rather a disagreement regarding the appropriate allocation basis under the specific award expectations. While management maintains that the allocation approach was reasonable and consistently applied, we acknowledge the auditor’s interpretation and will revise our documentation and review procedures to ensure alignment with the awarding agency’s expectations going forward. The Organization will accept the adjustment and strengthen formal documentation to eliminate ambiguity in future allocations.Status: Corrective Action Taken Corrective action planned: Management has organized their general ledger to allow for better matching and coding to better identify unallowable costs during the billing process. Additionally, necessary staff were trained on the tracking and approving expenditure on federal cost principles. Reviews will be made on quarterly baises, and all necessary documentation is collected and reviewed. • Develop and formally adopt a written Cost Allocation Plan identifying allocation methodologies. • Implement pre-charge review controls for all federal expenditures. • Establish general ledger coding for unallowable costs. • Provide cost principles training to approving staff. • Conduct periodic allocation consistency reviews. Anticipated completion date: April 2026

CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN FISCAL YEAR OF FINDING: June 30, 2023 AUDITOR FINDING: 2023-005 According to 2 CFR Part 200.403 factors affecting allowability of costs - costs must meet the following general criteria in order to be allowable under Federal awards: (a) be necessary and reasonable for the performance of the Federal award and be allocable thereto under these principles, (b) conform to any limitations or exclusions set forth in these principles or in the Federal award as to types or amount of cost items, (c) be consistent with policies and procedures that apply uniformly to both federally-financed and other activities of the non-Federal entity, (d) be accorded consistent treatment, (e) be determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, (f) to be included as a cost or used to meet cost sharing or matching requirements of any other federally-financed program in either the current or a prior period and (g) be adequately documented. In addition, according to 2 CFR Part 200.303, the non-Federal entity must establish and maintain effective internal control over the Federal award that provides reasonable assurance that the non-Federal entity is managing the Federal award in compliance with Federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of the Federal award. The Organization did not maintain documentation to support that costs and reimbursement invoices had been approved in accordance with their internal control design. CLIENT PLANNED ACTION: To address the audit finding, we affirm that all reimbursement invoices and cost-related documentation are submitted to a Director-level staff member for review and approval prior to sending. All approved invoices and associated documentation are now stored in a centralized shared drive and onsite file cabinets accessible to relevant finance staff to ensure consistent retention and accessibility for audit and review purposes. These documents will also be accessible within the accounting information system, when organization switches to Sage, which is accessible to all parties that have approval responsibilities. CLIENT RESPONSIBLE PARTY: Cassie Kenney, Director of Accounting COMPLETION DATE: This process started as of June 30, 2024. Documents will be stored within Sage as soon as the switch to this software is effective (tentative July 1st, 2025).
