Recommendation: We recommend that the Borough strengthen its internal controls over the authorization of ARPA-funded expenditures by ensuring that all individual disbursements are reviewed and approved by the Borough Council or other designated officials prior to payment. Alternatively, if the Borough intends to continue approving projects on an overall basis, it should establish and document clear procedures specifying when and how individual payments within approved projects are deemed authorized. Management's Response: Management agrees that additional clarification and documentation of the approval process for ARPA-funded disbursements will strengthen internal controls and ensure transparency in the use of Federal funds. The Borough will review its current approval procedures and implement guidance specifying how individual disbursements under previously approved ARP A projects are to be authorized and documented. Where appropriate, individual payments will be presented to the Borough Council for approval prior to processing.

2024-6 Segregation of Duties Recommendation: Ideally, the Borough would hire the number of staff necessary to segregate all duties. However, we realize segregation of duties is not practical, if not impossible. Because of this internal control situation, the responsibility of the Business Manager is greatly increased because the Board must rely on his knowledge of the everyday operations to discover any material changes in the Borough's financial position.Management's Response: The Borough recognizes that the limited number of staff adds to the risk associated with the daily operations. To mitigate this risk, the Assistant Borough Manager has to take an active role in the day-to-day operations of the Business Unit. She actively reviews all reconciliations and receipts to ensure they are posted to the accounting system properly. In addition, Borough Council approves all disbursements.

2024-5 Suspension and Debarment Verification Recommendation: We recommend that the Borough establish and implement procedures to verify and document that all vendors and contractors receiving Federal funds are not suspended or debarred prior to entering into covered transactions. Acceptable procedures include checking vendor status on the SAM.gov website and printing or saving verification documentation, or obtaining vendor certifications confirming compliance. This review should be documented and retained for audit purposes. Management's Response: Management acknowledges that verification of vendor eligibility is an important control to ensure compliance with Federal requirements. The Borough will develop and implement procedures to verify and document the suspension and debarment status of all vendors and contractors receiving Federal funds. Going forward, management will perform and document a check of each applicable vendor on the SAM.gov website prior to entering into a contract or processing payment under a Federal program. Copies of the verification results will be retained as support.

Strengthen internal control and procedures related to verification of Debarred or Suspended vendors.

The City Manager may suspend or debar a vendor from providing goods or services to the City for violations of the law. To ensure compliance with this, prior to issuing a contract, the department will: - Perform a verification through SAM.gov OR - Obtain a signed certification from the vendor Whichever method is used, the documentation should be retained with the copy of the contract.
