The City partially disagrees with the finding. The classification approach used by the City was based on guidance provided by the U.S. Department of the Treasury under SLFRF. Specifically, the City elected to treat up to $10 million in ARPA funds as revenue replacement and allocated these across two fiscal years to track usage of restricted vs. unrestricted portions. However, we acknowledge that SEFA preparation should reflect expenditures as reported under Uniform Guidance regardless of internal fund classifications. In response, we are: • Updating our SEFA preparation procedures to ensure full alignment with 2 CFR §200 Subpart F; • Implementing a review and sign-off process by both Finance and Grants Management prior to submission; • Providing training to our accounting team on federal expenditure classification and SEFA reporting standards. We will also consult with our external auditors during the next reporting cycle to validate fund treatment and ensure that reporting is accurate and consistent with federal expectations.

The City partially agrees with this finding. The ARPA funds in question were received and recorded by the Treasurer's Office, and documentation of the receipt was submitted to the auditors. However, due to technical limitations stemming from a system upgrade during the fiscal year, the transaction was not interfaced properly with the general ledger side of the City's accounting system. To address this issue, the City is: • Working with the current software provider to resolve the integration problem; • Performing a full reconciliation of Treasurer records and general ledger entries for all ARPA funds; • Exploring the implementation of a more robust and user-friendly financial system to ensure proper recording and reporting in the future. Additionally, we are developing standard operating procedures to ensure manual entries are logged and reconciled during system outages or migration periods.

Corrective Action Plan Finding 2021-006 and 2021-007 Identification of Federal Awards and Preparation of a Complete and Accurate Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA) Criteria: The Uniform Guidance requires the auditee to prepare a SEFA for the period covered by the auditee's financial statement. It is the responsibility of the auditee's management to design and implement internal controls that provide reasonable assurance over the completeness and accuracy of the SEFA. The SEFA is the basis for the auditor's identification of major programs. Condition: The City's initial SEFA provided for the audit was incomplete and contained inaccurate program expenditure amounts. In particular, there were multiple federal programs that were materially misstated; including the following major federal program for the year under audit: ALN 14.228 Community Development Block Grants/State's Program and Non-Entitlement Grants in Hawaii In addition, there were multiple federal programs that were not identified, or had inaccurate amounts reported, on the initial SEFA for the year under audit: ALN 10.664 Cooperative Forestry Assistance - not identified ALN 97.036 Disaster Grants - Public Assistance (Presidentially Declared Disasters) - inaccurate amounts reported ALN 21.027 (COVID-19) Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds - inaccurate amounts reported Cause: The City does not have a method to accurately track the related expenditures for reporting. Effect or Potential Effect: A Uniform Guidance compliance audit is based on the premise that management must comply with federal statutes, regulations and the terms and conditions of the federal awards it received. Without identifying the funds as federal, the auditee may not have complied with those requirements. In addition, there is increased risk regarding the accurate reporting of grant expenditures and noncompliance with policies and procedures surrounding the recording of federal awards. Questioned Costs: None Context: The City was aware of the requirement to prepare a SEFA prior to the audit; however, they were not able to accumulate the appropriate records to correctly identify the source of funding for all ongoing projects. In addition, management was unable to accurately determine the amounts to be reported on the SEFA in accordance with 2 CFR §200.502. The adjustments to the SEFA amounted to an increase in Total Federal Expenditures reported of $366,330. Repeat Finding: This is not a repeat finding. Recommendation: We recommend the City develop and implement procedures to ensure that information related to all federal awards is accumulated to assist in the preparation of the SEFA. In addition, we recommend management of the City verify the completeness and accuracy of the amounts reported on the SEFA. Response: The City agrees with the finding, and will develop a method for accurately tracking federal expenditures.

Corrective Action Plan Finding 2021-005 – Lack of Controls Surrounding Oversight of Federal Expenditures Criteria: Internal controls over financial reporting should be properly designed, implemented, and monitored to ensure all material transactions are recorded properly. Condition: No controls could be derived related to funding that was expneded by another organization after being passed through the City. Cause: The City experienced significant turnover within key positions of the Finance and Administration departments, which caused controls for oversight of funds distributed to be overlooked, including proper recording and retention of supporting documentation. Effect: Adjustments were recorded in several funds, as discussed below under "Context", as a result of audit procedures. Context: Audit adjustments, as summarized below, were recorded in the noted funds as a result of our audit procedures. These audit adjustments have also been communicated separately in our required communications letter. Capital Projects Fund – decrease of expenditures and increase in Due From Other Funds of $163,587. Non-Major Governmental Funds – Special Grant Fund – increase in expenditures and increase in Due to Other Funds of $277,630. Non-Major Governmental Funds – Water Fund – decrease in expenditures and increase in Due from Other Funds of $114,043. Recommendation: We recommend that the City implement processes to monitor and reconcile account balances and record transactions in the proper period. Adjustments that are necessary should be recorded and supporting documentation should be retained when available. Response/Corrective Action Plan: The Director of Administration & Finance, Accountant and impacted Department Directors as well as any necessary coordination with outside consultants will continue to be in discussions to adjust, revise and update the various projects, the approved funding sources and approved uses. In addition, Management will identify various financial system functions that are underutilized and update internal processes to track additional details within the system of record.

Corrective Action Plan Financial Statement Finding: 2021-004 Noncompliance with Uniform Guidance Late Filing of Single Audit Reporting Package Criteria: Under the Single Audit Act of 1996 and Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance), §200.512, Report Submission, the Single audit reporting package is required to be filed within the earlier of 30 calendar days after receipt of the auditors' report, or 9 months after the end of the audit period. Cause/Condition: The City experienced significant turnover within key positions of the Finance and Administration departments, which has caused delays in financial reporting. This deadline was not met on a timely basis for the year ended December 31, 2021. Effect: The entity is not incompliance with §200.512 of the Uniform Guidance. Recommendation: We recommend the requirements of §200.512 of the Uniform guidance be adhered to by striving to have all information required for the audit available on a timely basis. This will help to ensure timely audit report issuance and compliance with the filing deadline. Questioned Costs: None. Context: This year's Single Audit reporting package was filed on September 28, 2023, approximately 12 months after the required filing date. This compares with the prior year, when the Single audit reporting package was filed on November 22, 2021, approximately 2 months after the required filing date. Response: The City experienced substantial turnover in 2021 including the departure of both the Finance Director and Deputy Director, followed by additional retirements over the next fiscal year. With the multiple vacancies and limited succession planning, it made it challenging for new staff to meet the demands of current operations with vacancies and learn prior practices and financial systems in order to prepare timely information for the auditor. Prior practices relied heavily on institutional knowledge, year-end adjustments and audit journal entries to identify federal grant expenditures. In addition, there remains a lack of centralized grant and contract awards which contributed to the lack of detailed tracking of information and timely reporting of information requested by the auditor, in order to complete financial statements for submission deadlines outlined in Uniform Guidance, §200.512. Corrective Action Plan: Management strives to complete timelier year-end close and audit preparation. This will only be successful as Management updates practices to prepare month-end close tasks instead of waiting until post-end of fiscal year to close and reconcile the system of record. The goal will be to utilize a three-month) accrual period for 2023 (end of March 31, 2024 and utilize the month of April to prepare for pre-audit field work. The City has had a difficult time closing the year prior by April or May which inevitably delays the timing of the audit engagement. Closing months and the year sooner, with more accuracy, will allow the City engage the contracted auditor earlier and ensure timely reporting of financial information to Common Council and the public. Many of this issues will continue to exist for 2023’s audit as additional vacancies occurred and full staffing is not anticipated on or after October 2023. Management will draft and implement a year-end purchasing schedule to ensure there is sufficient time for Finance staff to appropriately close out the year. Anticipated Completed Date: April 15, 2024. Responsible Contact Person: Lisa Henty, Director of Administration & Finance City of Cortland, 25 Court Street, Cortland, NY 13045 (607) 758-8373
