Category: Material weakness in Internal Control and Material Noncompliance
Condition:
The Authority did not comply with the submission due dates of the Performance Reports and Federal Financial Reports
established by the OEA in their Notice of Award granted on June 6, 2020. In addition, from five reports examined to test
compliance with due dates, the submission date could not be verified in four instances, including the Federal Financial
Report.
Management’s Response:
Starting in FY 2024-2025, the Finance Department will maintain detailed records of all payments made, as well as the
reimbursement and transfer processes. The LRA’s Finance Department will hire additional personnel to strengthen the
internal control of its accounts, disbursements, and fund entries. The new team members will be task with updating and
managing accounting records. Together, they have will develop a strict timeline for completing important tasks to ensure
a concise and transparent flow of funds. Workloads will be divided, with specific responsibilities assigned to individual
team members, including Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable, Bank Reconciliation, and Bookkeeping. Some
responsibilities are interconnected, allowing team members to support each other in case of absence or when assistance
is needed.
