Controls over Allowable Costs Condition: The YMCA is responsible for ensuring that support for all federal expenditures is properly maintained. Criteria: Internal controls need to be sufficient to ensure that support for federal expenditures is available, including receipts that agree to amounts charged to federal grants. Cause: The YMCA experienced turnover in the accounting department and the CFO position. Receipts including purpose were not available for all expenditures charged to the federal grant. Effect: Proper documentation was not available for the audit.

Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Action: The CFO, along with the financial team will review federal awards and expenses charged to federal programs to ensure amounts are coded in the appropriate manner. The CFO and financial team will ensure that support is retained and available for all expenses charged to federal programs.

2023-002 U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development– Assistance Listing # 14.239 Home Investment Partnerships Program Lack of Segregation of Duties – Significant Deficiency Condition & Criteria: The condition reported as item 2023-001 above also applies to the Township’s internal control over compliance with the requirements of federal programs. Planned Corrective Action: The Township acknowledges the potential effects of this condition. However, for such a small organization as we are, the Township believes that it would not be cost beneficial to hire additional personnel to provide for adequate segregation of duties at this time. The Board of Supervisors continues to closely monitor the financial transaction processes and has several control procedures in place to provided for as much segregation of duties as possible given the size of the Township’s staff. The following are the control procedures over federal programs that the Township currently has in place: • One Township supervisor is involved in the day-to-day activities of the federal program as he serves as the project manager for all Township projects. • The three Township supervisors personally review and formally approve the list of all bills proposed for payment (including those for federal programs and projects) at their monthly public meetings. In addition, the Township has a requirement that all checks require two authorized signatures, one of which must be a Township supervisor. • Each month’s complete financial statements are reviewed by the three supervisors at the monthly public meetings, and grant activities and updates are presented and discussed as well.

2023-001 Internal Control over Financial Reporting - Lack of Segregation of Duties – Significant Deficiency Condition & Criteria: The small size of the Township’s office staff does not allow for adequate segregation of duties. Standard practice regarding the design of a good system of internal controls relies at least in part on a system of checks and balances accomplished by having different employees performing various functions within the accounting cycle. These checks and balances are not possible when the same person performs all of an interrelated series of tasks. Although the Township does have some compensating controls in place, there are still a number of situations where one person is responsible for all aspects of a transaction. Planned Action: The Township acknowledges the potential effects of this condition. However, for such a small organization as we are, the Township believes that it would not be cost beneficial to hire additional personnel in order to provide for adequate segregation of duties. As a compensating control, the Board continues to closely monitor the financial transaction process and has a number of control procedures in place to provide for the segregation of duties as much as possible given the size of the Township’s staff.
