It is important to note that the issues highlighted in the 2025 audit findings occurred entirely prior to the implementation of our corrective action plan. Since these procedural updates were established, we have experienced zero HUD reporting discrepancies. Historically, this finding was mainly due to delays in the processing and payment of utility invoices. This was in part attributed to a staff shortage in accounts payable coupled with an increase in the number of properties under management, which significantly heightened the volume of utility invoices. To permanently address these issues, we hired a staff accountant in August 2024 whose dedicated responsibilities include the accounting for utility expenses. We have since implemented additional procedures to strengthen utility processing and ensure invoices are processed and paid timely. This includes maintaining a comprehensive monthly analysis of utility expenses to track invoices, ensuring everything is processed timely and/or accrued properly. We also perform a rigorous variance analysis of expenses, whereby significant variations are promptly investigated and resolved. Effective for the 2025/2026 utility cost reporting period and moving forward, we have operationalized a robust review process: utility cost reports are prepared by the staff accountant, reviewed by the Controller, and given final approval by the Chief Financial Officer.

Corrective Action Planned: Management acknowledges the limitation in staffing levels and recognizes that complete segregation of duties is not currently feasible. To mitigate the risks associated with this condition, the Authority will strengthen compensating controls and increase oversight by management and the Board of Commissioners. The following actions will be implemented: 1. Enhanced Board Oversight • The Board of Commissioners will continue to review and approve monthly financial statements, bank reconciliations, budget-to-actual reports, and check registers. • Financial reports will be presented at regularly scheduled board meetings, and evidence of review will be documented in meeting minutes. 2. Cash Disbursement Controls • All invoices will be reviewed and approved by the Executive Director prior to payment. • The Board of Commissioners will review disbursement listings on a monthly basis. • Checks and electronic payments exceeding established thresholds will require dual authorization where feasible. 3. Payroll Review Procedures • Payroll registers and supporting documentation will be reviewed and approved by the Executive Director prior to processing. • Changes to employee pay rates, benefits, or personnel status will be supported by approved documentation implemented by the Executive Director and reviewed by the Administrative Coordinator for accuracy. 4. Cash Receipt Monitoring • Cash receipt reports will be reconciled to bank deposits on a timely basis. • Management will periodically review deposit activity and reconciliation documentation to verify completeness and accuracy. 5. Independent Review of Financial Reporting • Financial statements, grant reporting, and required submissions will be reviewed by the Executive Director and presented to the Board for oversight. • Significant journal entries and adjusting entries will be reviewed and approved by management. • Additional assistance with financial reporting and compliance submissions from Hawkins Ash (Fee Accountant). 6. Annual Evaluation of Staffing and Internal Controls • Management and the Board will annually assess staffing levels and opportunities to further segregate duties as resources permit. • Any changes in staffing or technology that could improve internal controls will be evaluated and implemented when financially feasible.
Audit Finding: During the 2025 audit, PDAI was notified that it is a requirement to document and maintain SAM.gov vendor eligibility verifications for procurement transactions that exceed $25,000.00 per contracted year and are charged to federal programs or any sub awardees regardless of amount.

Audit Finding: During the 2025 audit, PDAI was notified that it is a requirement to document and maintain SAM.gov vendor eligibility verifications for procurement transactions that exceed $25,000.00 per contracted year and are charged to federal programs or any sub awardees regardless of amount. Views of officials responsible: We acknowledge that internal control should be strengthened by reviewing the current Uniform Guidance Requirements - all vendors at or above the designated threshold (2025 was $25,000.00/contracted year) and all sub awardees must be verified thorugh the System for Award Management website (SAM.gov) and a screenshot/printed screen must be kept for documentation. Corrective Action: Beginning in Quarter 4 of 2026, routine checks will be completed for any PDAI vendors that are contracted to be paid over the threshold designated in the Uniform Guidance Requirements and all sub awardees before any initial payments are made and then concurrently on a quarterly basis. This threshold will be reviewed on a yearly basis to stay up to date with the Uniform Guidance Requirements. Management has designated a specific preparer and reviewer while requiring sign offs as a secondary check and balance. Responsible Parties: Jennell Miller, Accounting Manager Tina Fornstrom, Business Manager Implementation Date: October 1, 2026 (start of Q4 2026) Ongoing Monitoring: The Accounting Manager and Business Manager will work together ensuring guidelines are up to date, regular checks are completed and the opposite party will sign off after reviewing the documentation.

Northern Rocky Mountain Economic Development District (NRMEDD) agrees with the recommendation. The corrective action described in response to Finding 2 applies uniformly to disbursements of the RLF program funds, with no separate or exception process. Northern Rocky Mountain Economic Development District (NRMEDD) agrees with the recommendation. NRMEDD will establish a policy to place a secondary review on expenditures. The Executive Director approves invoices for payment and forwards them to the Bookkeeper who prepares the check for signature. Additionally, checks or disbursements exceeding $10,000 require Board approval. This uniform application ensures RLF disbursement receives the same level of control as all other organizational expenditures.

Segregation of Duties - Auditor’s recommendation: Management should constantly be aware of this condition and realize that the concentration of duties and responsibilities in a limited number of individuals is not desirable. Under these conditions, the most effective controls lie in the Board's knowledge of matters relating to the Authority's operations. The Board's continued involvement in the Authority's operations is needed to mitigate the lack of segregated duties. The Authority could enhance its internal controls by having a member of the Board of Directors or someone independent of the preparer perform the following functions: review monthly bank reconciliations; review journal entries; review payroll journals that summarize employee compensation; and review check registers. Water Authority’s Response: Because of the limited number of personnel in the office, the Water Authority recognizes the limitations with regard to segregation of duties and therefore will consider mitigating controls. The Water Authority will continue to have a Supervisor review monthly bank reconciliations.

Adjusting Journal Entries and Required Disclosures to the Financial Statements Auditor’s Recommendations: Although auditors may continue to provide such assistance both now and in the future, under the pronouncement, the Water Authority should continue to review and accept both proposed adjusting journal entries and footnote disclosures, along with the drafted financial statements. Water Authority’s Response: The Water Authority has received, reviewed and approved all journal entries, footnote disclosures and draft financial statements proposed for the current year audit. The Water Authority will continue to review and approve similar information in future years. Further, the Water Authority believes it has a thorough understanding of these financial statements and the ability to make informed judgments on those financial statements. Lastly, the Water Authority considers such assistance provided by the auditors to be the most cost effective manner to prepare such information.
