Federal Program: Disaster Grants-Public Assistance (Presidentially Declared Disasters) (AL# 97.036) $750,000 ~no Condition: There was no evidence that a review of reimbursement requests was done by an independent individual who was not involved in the preparation process. Criteria: A second individual not involved in the reimbursement request preparation process should review the request prior to it being submitted to the granting agency. Effect: Without a secondary review, the chances are increased that a reimbursement request could be submitted for the wrong amount or at the wrong time per the grant agreement. Cause: The District did not establish a process for implementing a secondary review. Recommendations: We recommend the District establish and document procedures to make sure a second individual independent of the reimbursement request preparation process reviews each request for accuracy and timing before the request is submitted, and provides a signature or initials and date of review on the documentation. Management's Response: The District has implemented an approval process subject to administrator approval for submission of reimbursement claims. The Grant Program Supervisor will prepare reimbursement claim documents and the Director of Finance will review and submit the reimbursement claims. A paper trail will be implemented; a copy of the email will be sufficient

The Manager acknowledges that there is no separation of duties, but with the Authority being very small and there only being three (3) office employees; it does not make financial sense to hire an additional person to oversee the grant proceeds. The Manager will make sure that going forward all items pertaining to the grant are reviewed by the Board and Engineer to help off-set that separation of duty issue. The Authority Manager did not disclose the grant receivable as it was not yet received at the end of 2023 and should have been booked as an accrual and not a cash basis receipt. The Manager will ensure that going forward items are booked based on the accrual and not the cash basis.
