2025-003 Salaries and wages are charged to federal awards through separate manual tracking worksheets for each award. Additionally, although salaries and wages are allocated to grants in the Organization’s accounting system, the allocation only occurs at a summary level, moving all costs from administrative rather than where they were recorded. Responsible Persons: Karen R. White, CPA, Chief Executive Officer and Matthew Derryberry, Chief Financial Officer Completion Date: January 2026 Views of responsible officials and planned corrective actions: Issues identified during the audit were indicative of an overall lack of controls and processes to ensure no double dipping occurs. The new CFO along with the newer members of the Finance Department have developed better controls and processes to ensure grant expenditures, including payroll expenses and allocations, are properly accounted for in the accounting system with adequate backup of grant draw downs. With the implementation of a new payroll system and a new accounting system in 2026, these issues should resolve themselves with oversight provided by the CFO. The Organization’s CEO, a former CFO of the organization, will continue to provide oversight for the Finance Department to ensure controls and processes are implemented.
