Condition Upon review of the indirect cost calculations throughout the fiscal year, it was noted that there was no documentation of review and approval of three of the seven calculations tested. The auditors were able to review the drawdown reconciliations performed by the Caminar Latino and determine the reports were materially accurate; however, no evidence of a formal supervisory review and approval of the reconciliation was maintained on-file in these three instances. Correction action As of Q4 2022, the Atlanta-based Co-CEO and the Chief of Programs and Administration have instituted a process of review and approval of drawdown reconciliations prior to drawdown to review for accuracy of calculations and to ensure that previous drawdown amounts are accurately recorded. A Finance Manager was hired in April 2023, and the responsibility of ongoing drawdown reconciliation and calculation of invoice amounts has shifted to the Finance Manager position. Monthly invoices and drawdowns are being reviewed and approved by the Co-CEO and Chief of Programs and Administration prior to drawdown.
