Findings 2022-001 through 2022-007 During 2020 and 2021, the Organization had gone through a significant amount of turnover at the management level and in the Finance department. These changes have resulted in the identification of a significant lack of internal controls as well as a lack of resources. The Organization has gone through a process of hiring new Finance positions and engaging outside consultants as needed. With a change in leadership and an increase in resources, the Organization is in the process of implementing a system of internal controls that will focus on segregation of duties related to all significant transaction cycles (including monthly close procedures), increasing communication and transparency of transactions within the Organization, and a heightened sense of documentation to support all transactions, including grant funded activity. The goal of implementing this system of controls is to mitigate the risk of any wrongdoing, intentional or unintentional, at the Organization and to allow for proper compliance with restrictions set forth by government agencies. Responsible party: Scott Forbes; Executive Director; (978) 873-0916 Anticipated completion date: June 30, 2023

Finding Number: 2022-007 Finding : Premium Pay Corrective Action Taken or To Be Taken: Recommend the City create internal controls to ensure that they review federal and state regulations prior to disbursements to ensure costs are allowable. We also recommend the City work with elected officials to create a corrective action plan to recoup the federal funds. Agency Response: Does agency agree with finding? If no or partially, please explain reason(s) why? Initially premium payments were only made to paid staff. Management was unaware of the provisions in reference to elected officials not being able to receive premium pay so they requested premium pay for the elected officials at a later date. The City Manager has sent an email to all elected officials requesting that the funds be reimbursed to the City. At this time (4) four of the (6) six elected officials have reimbursed the City and the others have committed to do so as well. Additional Comments:

Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action planned/taken in response to finding: Management concurs. Departments are entrusted with considerable latitude in determining needs and purchasing products, services, and technical support required to perform educational and outreach duties as well as research with sponsored projects.

Delays in the workflow sometimes occur due to valid reasons, and other times are due to a breakdown in the administrative process. Information will be shared with departments regarding delays in invoice processing. This will include sharing the information with academic and research heads in the colleges that processing of invoices must occur quickly, discrepancies affecting the expedient payments will be noted on invoices, and explanations will be recorded.
