Finding 2024-002: (Significant Deficiency) AL# 21.027: COVID-19 – Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds, U.S. Department of Treasury Condition: The City’s control procedures for the Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (CSLFRF) requires the department personnel to authorize payment and the program manager to certify the expenditures to the CSLFRF program prior to being paid. The program manager did not approve four invoices prior to the expenditure being charged to the grant. Criteria or Specific Requirement: 2 CFR 200.303, the Non-Federal entity must establish and maintain effective internal controls over federal awards to ensure compliance with federal statutes, regulations and the terms and conditions of the awards. Cause: Purchase orders are created that identify projects that are part of the CSLFRF and expenditures coding is assigned at that time prior to the purchase. Once the invoice was approved by department personnel, the expenditures were applied to the assigned purchase order coding. Effect: Failure to follow established internal controls increases the risk of noncompliance with the grant requirements and processing unallowable costs towards the grant. Corrective Plan: To address the underlying issues identified in the audit finding, the City will implement the following steps: 1.Correct Approval Control GapInternal Audit worked with Accounts Payable and department personnel and made recommendations tocorrect the control gap and ensure compliance with approval procedures. It is anticipated theserecommendations will be implemented in the next two months. Additional review steps were added inaccounts payable to ensure required approvals obtained prior to payment processing. 2.Implement Monitoring ReportAccounting services developed a report to verify approvals and provide secondary oversight for CSLFRFexpenditures. These actions will be implemented and monitored to ensure compliance with grant requirements. Alex Fedak, CPA 1/7/26 Date Controller
