FINDING 2021-003 COMMENT: Per the County's grant agreements with Florida Division of Emergency Management (FDEM), quarterly reports are required to be submitted through FloridaPA.com that include project costs and expenditures for each large project. Amounts in the quarterly reports should reconcile to the County's accounting records and represent actual expenditures. The two large projects were tested for compliance with this requirement, including all quarterly reports submitted during the 2021 fiscal year for these projects. This was not a statistically valid sample. For all quarterly reports tested, the reported expenditures per quarter were unable to be reconciled to actual expenditures in the quarter per the invoices and other supporting documentation in the County's files. RESPONSE: Rett Daniels, Deputy Administrator, Sarah Suhn, Budget Director, and Tony Pumphrey, Finance Officer, will develop controls that will be effective July 31, 2023, to ensure quarterly reports submitted are reconciled to actual quarterly expenditures per invoices and other supporting documentation.
