FINDINGS - U.S ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ADMINISTRATION, ALN# 11.307 SIGNFICANT DEFICIENCY Finding 2024-001 - Reporting: The U.S. Economic Development Administration ALN # 11 .307 require reports to the appropriate federal agency for revolving loan funds and grants. Response to Aydjt finding 2024-001: Background: The FY2024 Semi-Annual Revolving Loan Fund Financial Reports were not submitted within the required timeframe. Current accounting and RLF management were not responsible for report preparation during the reporting period and unable to verify the specific circumstances that resulted in the late submissions. The finding indicates that report controls and monitoring procedures in place at the time were not sufficient to ensure required deadlines were met primarily due to accounting and RLF staff turnover. Conclusion: Staffing turnover was mitigated in Fall 2025 allowing significant progress towards existing corrective action plan. Progress was as follows: • Developing updated and written procedures for RLF reporting. • Ensuring current key staff members and management have access to reporting instructions and supporting documentation. • Ensuring periodic management review of reporting deadlines and requirements.

CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN Finding – 2024-001 Coronavirus State and Local Recovery Funds, ALN 21.027 Compliance Requirement - Reporting Criteria Recipients of SLFRF funds are required to submit complete, accurate and timely Project and Expenditure Reports in accordance with U.S. Department of Treasury guidance and the Uniform Guidance. Reporting requirements include: • Accurate reporting of obligations and expenditures by project and expenditure category. • Submission of all required data elements prescribed by Treasury. • Retention of documentation is sufficient to support reported financial and programmatic information. Condition The County did not fully comply with U.S. Department of Treasury SLFRF reporting requirements for the period ended December 31, 2024. Specifically, the County’s Project and Expenditure Report submitted through the Treasury Reporting Portal was incomplete and/or inaccurate. Noted exception included: • Inaccurate reporting of obligated and expended amounts for one or more SLFRF projects. As a result, the SLFRF report submitted was not complete, accurate, or fully supported as required. Recommendation We recommend that the County: 1) Establish and document formal SLFRF reporting policies and procedures. 2) Implement a reconciliation process between accounting records and reported SLFRF data. 3) Require supervisory review and approval of all SLFRF submissions prior to reporting to Treasury. 4) Provide ongoing training to staff responsible for SLFRF compliance and reporting. 5) Maintain complete and organized documentation to support all reported obligations and expenditures.
