Assistance Listings number and program name: 21.027 COVID-19—Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds Name of contact person: Heather Patel Completion date: October 31, 2025 Corrective Action Planned: Pinal County acknowledges the recommendations from the Arizona Auditor General and has implemented procedures to ensure that the quarterly and annual reporting to the federal program aligns with the expenditures recorded in the county’s financial system. These procedures include: • Using the county’s general ledger to reconcile and match expenditures for the appropriate reporting period in accordance with GAAP. • Submitting the federal report to a manager or higher level for review and approval prior to sending to the federal agency. • Reviewing all expenditures, including those after year-end, to identify the appropriate reporting period. • Due to the timing of the annual report due date and the accrual period, there may be times when the annual report does not include accrued expenditures, as these expenditures may be recorded after the due date of the federal report. When this is the case, the county will make note of these expenditures and work with the federal agency to amend the annual report if needed.
The County will work diligently to implement internal controls over its federal award program to ensure accurate reporting of any activity.

Finding 2024-003: (Significant Deficiency) AL# 21.027: COVID-19 – Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds, U.S. Department of Treasury Condition: During testing of the quarterly CSLFRF Project and Expenditure Report submitted by the City for the period ending June 30, 2024, we noted that t...
Finding 2024-003: (Significant Deficiency) AL# 21.027: COVID-19 – Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds, U.S. Department of Treasury Condition: During testing of the quarterly CSLFRF Project and Expenditure Report submitted by the City for the period ending June 30, 2024, we noted that the revenue loss information and certain key line items were not reported accurately. Criteria or Specific Requirement: Per the U.S. Department of Treasury’s CSLFRF Compliance and Reporting Guidance, recipients are required to report revenue loss and key line item figures correctly in each required periodic Project and Expenditure Report and ensure all submitted information is complete, accurate, and supported by the City’s accounting records. Cause: The inaccurate reporting for revenue loss resulted from a misunderstanding of how the report portal worked. The City believed they were updating the total revenue loss amount to the correct balance. Review controls did not identify that the total revenue loss on the report got duplicated. The inaccurate reporting for key line items could not be fully determined. Effect: Submitting inaccurate reporting information increases the risk of potential noncompliance with Treasury reporting requirements. Corrective Plan: To address the underlying issues identified in the audit finding, the City will implement the following steps: 1. Review and Strengthen Reporting Process Implemented procedures to ensure reported amounts agree with supporting documentation and accounting records prior to submission. 2. Ensure Accurate Revenue Loss and Key Line Items Beginning with the 12/31/2025 reporting period, reconcile reported figures to portal calculations and confirm alignment with intended reporting period. 3. Add Additional Review Controls Incorporated checks to verify accuracy and completeness, prevent duplication of portal totals, and confirm figures match internal tracking records. These actions have been implemented and will continue to be monitored for compliance. Alex Fedak, CPA 1/7/26 Date Controller

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

Finding 2024-004: (Significant Deficiency) AL# 14.218: CDBG - Entitlement Grants Cluster, U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, all open grants and years Condition: During testing of the PR26 – CDBG Financial Summary report, it was identified that one payroll cycle was reported twice, resulting in a duplication of payroll costs and an overstated reimbursement request. Criteria or Specific Requirement: 2 CFR 200.303(a) states that the City is required to establish and maintain effective internal control over the federal award that provides reasonable assurance that the non-federal entity is managing the federal award in compliance with federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of the federal award. Cause: The The ERP system conversion presented challenges to the City related to report development and in particular accuracy of the project management system. Effect: The reimbursement request was overstated, resulting in an excess draw of funds. This creates a risk of noncompliance with the grant requirements and potential repayment of funds. Corrective Plan: To address the underlying issues identified in the audit finding, the City will implement the following steps: 1.Coordinate with HUDResolve the duplicated payroll amount, including reimbursement or offset of the excess draw,in accordance with HUD guidance. 2.Reconcile Payroll Expenditures and DrawsPerform reconciliation of payroll-related expenditures and reimbursement draws for all HUDgrants for January 1–June 30, 2024, to ensure amounts claimed agree to general ledgeractivity. 3.Strengthen Recordkeeping and Reimbursement PracticesIn addition, the City will ensure that recordkeeping and reimbursement preparationpractices related to payroll expenses included in grant draw requests are sufficient tosupport amounts claimed and agree to general ledger activity.The Accounting Services Division will review existing departmental documentation practicesand communicate consistent expectations and best practices to promote accurate, complete,and supportable payroll draw requests.The City anticipates working with the department and having this process fully in place within3–4 months. These actions will be implemented and monitored to ensure compliance with grant requirements. Benjamin E Davis 1/7/26 Date Principal Planner Alex E Fedak 1/7/26 Date Controller
