CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN FOR FINDINGS REPORTED UNDER UNIFORM GUIDANCE City of Cheney January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2024 This schedule presents the corrective action planned by the City for findings reported in this report in accordance with Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance). Finding ref number: 2024-001 Finding caption: The City did not have adequate internal controls for ensuring compliance with federal allowable costs, matching and reporting requirements, and it did not comply with federal allowable costs and matching requirements. Name, address, and telephone of City contact person: Cindy Niemeier, Finance Director 609 2nd Street Cheney, WA 99004 509-498-9215 Corrective action the auditee plans to take in response to the finding: The City of Cheney recognizes the error in classifying a grant received from the Washington State Department of Commerce as a state grant rather than a federal pass through grant, which makes this funding source ineligible as matching funds in the funding awarded from the Department of Reclamation. The City has contacted the Department of Reclamation federal program to disclose the error and determine the required corrective action. The City of Cheney has proposed replacing the submitted reimbursement requests with City expenses as allowable matching expenses. The City is currently waiting on the Department of Reclamation for direction. The 2024 reporting error was corrected in 2025. Future projects with multiple funding sources will continue to be managed by the individual departments. The additional internal control will require the departments to meet quarterly with Finance to conduct internal audits of the reimbursement requests and completed reporting. Anticipated date to complete the corrective action: December 31, 2025
