Auditor Description of Condition and Effect. We selected a sample of disbursements that were charged to the grant. Of this sample, 5 out of 40 disbursements had questioned costs. Two disbursements had amounts submitted for reimbursement but no actual costs were incurred by the Organization.

As a result of this condition, the Organization did not fully comply with the requirements of the Uniform Guidance. Auditor Recommendation. We recommend that the Organization verify that costs submitted for reimbursement are valid and allowable expenses. Additionally, the Organization needs to properly allocate costs in accordance with the grant agreements. Corrective Action. Management concurs with the finding. The Organization will ensure valid and allowable expenses, including proper allocation of costs, are remitted through enhancement of the current review processes. Responsible Person. Stacy Holman, Chief Financial Officer. Anticipated Completion Date. December 31, 2024.

Date: June 21, 2024 Finding 2023-001: Performance Reporting Federal Program: CLFR American Rescue Plan ALN 21.027 Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Treasury Federal Award Year: 2021 Type of Finding: Significant Deficiency in Internal Control over Compliance and Noncompliance Raul Trevino: The County has experienced a rotation of County Auditor position for the past 6 years, within 2-year term each.

Additionally, the County established clear communication channels for reporting deadlines and responsibilities to designated staff members. By following this plan, the County has addressed the issue of delayed report submissions and ensured smoother operations despite turnover in staff. Date corrective action plan was implemented: February 02, 2023.
