Auditor Description of Condition and Effect. Although the City has processes in place to cover these areas, there are no formal written policies covering payments, procurement, allowability of costs, compensation, and travel costs in accordance with the Uniform Guidance. As a result of this condition, the City was exposed to increased risk that grant requirements under 2 CFR 200 would not be followed.
Auditor Recommendation. We recommend that the City develop and implement the required policies as soon as practical.
Corrective Action. A written policy was developed and implemented in February 2024 that meets the requirements under Federal guidance.
Responsible Person: Bobbi Schoon, Director of Finance and Administration
