2024-010– Quarterly Project and Expense Reports Finding Type. Immaterial Noncompliance/Significant Deficiency in Internal Control over Compliance (Reporting). Program. Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (CLSFRF); U.S. Department of Treasury; Assistance Listing Number 21.027; Direct award only. Auditor Description of Condition and Effect: Although the City did prepare all of the quarterly reports required for fiscal year 2024, we noted that while the City had supporting reports from the accounting system for the amounts reported, there were several inconsistencies between the supporting reports and the report submitted. In addition, there were large variances between what was reported quarterly and what was posted to the general ledger and ultimately the schedule of expenditures of federal awards. Lastly, our testing of AP expenditures noted two items of cost, out of 40 tested, that did not appear to be related to approved projects noted in the quarterly reporting. The items were allowable costs for the CSLFRF grant, but the reports were not updated to reflect the inclusion. The City is exposed to an increased risk that future noncompliance could occur and not be prevented or detected by the City's internal controls. Auditor Recommendation: We recommend that the City implement necessary internal controls to ensure that all reporting of financial data is supported by the City's accounting records. Corrective Action: The City will implement the necessary internal controls to ensure the policy for compliance is followed and documented. Responsible Person: Chief Financial Officer Anticipated Completion Date: July 31, 2026

Management acknowledges the finding and concurs with the recommendation. The delay in submitting the Single Audit Reporting Package and the Data Collection Form to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse (FAC) resulted from delays in completing the annual audit and finalizing the financial statements. Consequently, the Municipality was unable to submit the required reporting package within the timeframe established under 2 CFR §200.512. To prevent future occurrences, the Municipality has strengthened its internal procedures over the Single Audit reporting process. Management will establish a comprehensive compliance calendar that identifies all regulatory reporting deadlines, including the submission of the Data Collection Form and Reporting Package to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse. The Federal Programs Director, Finance Department, and the Municipality's independent auditors will coordinate throughout the audit process to monitor progress, identify potential delays, and ensure that all required documentation is completed and submitted within the prescribed deadlines. Management is committed to complying with the reporting requirements established under 2 CFR Part 200, Subpart F, and will continue to improve its monitoring and oversight procedures to ensure timely submission of all future Single Audit reporting requirements.

Finding 2024 – 001: Restatement to Fund Balance Condition: During audit fieldwork, our testing resulted in a restatement of fund balance in order to implement GASB 96 and correct buildings, land improvements and equipment categories of capital assets that were improperly recorded in the prior year. Plan: The City will implement internal controls to properly record leases and capital assets on a timely basis prior to audit fieldwork. Anticipated Date of Completion: Updated Capital Assets Policy adopted on May 27, 2025, and applied retroactively to May 1, 2022.

The City also reviews the implementation of new GASB pronouncements with its external auditors in advance of each applicable reporting period to help ensure new accounting standards are implemented accurately and timely. The GASB 96 implementation has been completed, and no additional fund balance restatements related to GASB 96 are anticipated.

Currently, reports are submitted for review via email. The CMS-64 as well as the CMS-37 is prepared by a consulting firm who submits the copy of the reports for review and approval. Once the Medicaid Director is satisfied, an email is sent approving the report, for further entering into the MBES (CMS system of record) and certification. To ensure access for audit purposes, the Department has implemented a shared folder where copies of approval emails and any time extension requests are stored, since the submission portal does not allow for attachments. Additionally, a Director of Federal Grants has been on-boarded who will assume the role of preparing the reports.
