U.S. Department of the Treasury Passed through State of Arizona, Maricopa County (Maricopa County), Federal Financial Assistance Listing #21.027, PE386182260A4 2022 Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds Finding Summary: The Foundation’s existing controls over federal award reporting did not identify and correct that reports submitted to the grantor were submitted with inaccurate information and that the supporting documentation used to prepare the reports were utilizing budgeted expensed amounts rather than actual. Furthermore, the budgeted expensed amounts from the supporting documentation that were the basis for the amounts to report, did not agree with the ultimate amount reported. Management’s Response and Corrective Action Plan: Televerde Foundation has experienced significant growth from inception in March 2020 to fiscal year ended December 31, 2022. We have grown from contributions and grants of $83 thousand and $50 thousand, respectively, in March 2020 to contributions and grants of $236 thousand and $978 thousand, respectively, as of December 31, 2022. During this same period, Televerde Foundation went from 3 employees to 21 employees and experienced significant turnover in finance staff including 2 CFO’s, 2 Controllers, and four staff accountants. The growth combined with lack of a consistent finance team is the primary cause of this deficiency. To address the deficiency, management will perform the actions below. Management will leverage our general ledger to retain documentation for approval and review of expenditures. We will utilize actual amounts for expenditures and in circumstances where budgeted amounts are needed, we will perform a true-up on a quarterly basis.
