Passed through Wharton Independent School District, Contract period: 01/01/22 – 06/30/24, Contract number: None. Condition and context: In a sample of 30 payroll transactions, 7 did not have timesheets to support the allocation of salary costs charged to the major program; however, 1 of the 7 was charged 100% to the award.

Status: Completed Corrective Action: The City agrees with the finding. Remediation began with 2022-006. HOST makes every effort to comply with not only federal requirements but also City Charter requirements for timely payment. Occasionally there are exceptional circumstances where there is a need to update the City financial system Workday, for budget modifications or the like that could result in a delay of payment. In an effort to determine these items ahead of time we’ve updated our internal policies to require finance budget review prior to contract execution. Likewise, HOST is engaged in an application upgrade with Salesforce which is in the final User Acceptance Testing (UAT) phase to incorporate changes that now include status tracking for vendor invoice submissions and reimbursement payments. This will support a more comprehensive and accurate accounting of any legitimate postponed payments due to waiting on more required information from vendors, budget modifications, contract amendments, etc. Person(s) Responsible for Implementing: HOST Operations Division Directors Implementation Date: Q1-2024
