This checklist will serve as an internal control to ensure that each file is complete, reflects current pay rates, and accurately documents time allocated to grant activities. Additionally, the Finance team will take the following steps to strengthen compliance and accuracy in grant reporting: 1. Assign personnel whose responsibilities are 100% fully dedicated to specific grant activities. 2. Maintain a detailed allocation table tracking employee time and effort by individual grant.

Description of Finding: IYT did not submit its FY22-23 Single Audit and Audited Financial tatements to the federal audit clearinghouse by the required deadline of March 31, 2024.

Statement of Concurrence or Nonconcurrence: We concur with the audit finding. Corrective Action: IYT acknowledges the late submission of the FY22-23 Single Audit and recognizes delays in the FY23-24 audit timeline as well.

The County did experience issues with the reporting portal for these funds.  When we requested assistance, we received generic responses and little assistance from the Treasury.  It wasn’t until November 2024 that we were finally able to gain the assistance we needed to gain full access to the Treasury portal as well as some guidance on the reports.  On January 1, 2025, the Treasury provided guidance that is helpful to us in understanding the reporting requirements.  Now that we have the access and guidance we need, all reports will be submitted accurately and on time.

2023‐010 Procurement (Material Weakness/ Material Non‐Compliance): Since taking office in fiscal year 2024, the current Finance Director has implemented a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) in alignment with the Procurement Policy adopted in 2022 to ensure compliance with the State Procurement Code, internal controls, and the proper segregation of duties in procurement. This SOP outlines the specific roles and responsibilities of the Certified Procurement Officer (CPO), Finance Director, City Manager, and City Council when applicable in the procurement process. In addition, a procurement workflow has been created to be utilized by the (CPO) to ensure compliance with the City of Espanola’s procurement policy, the State Procurement Code, and appropriate checks and balances at varying thresholds. The (CPO) is responsible for ensuring all policies and state procurement laws are followed throughout the process. Additionally, all documentation from initiation to the issuance of a Purchase Order (PO) is retained electronically in a complete packet for record-keeping and audit purposes. In order to address direct payment voucher controls, the City has restricted the use of direct payment vouchers for high-volume purchases. All procurements must follow the purchase order process, unless an exception is authorized in accordance with policy. The finance department has also implemented issuing procurement violations to any department head or staff who authorizes a purchase in the absence of an approved purchase order, which aligns with the 2022 Adopted Procurement Policy. By enforcing these measures, the City ensures procurement policy compliance, transparency, and financial accountability, thereby addressing the audit findings and preventing future violations.

2023‐009 Reporting Annual Project and Expenditures Report (Material Weakness): The City did complete the Project and Expenditures Report but just not timely as a result of staff turnover during the actual fiscal year. Since taking office in fiscal year 2024, the current Finance Director has prioritized compliance with federal reporting requirements. As of fiscal year 2025, all required project and expenditures reporting has been completed and submitted in accordance with U.S. Department of Treasury guidelines. To prevent future occurrences, the Finance Department has implemented internal controls ensuring multiple staff members are responsible for federal reporting. Specifically, both the Finance Director and the Financial Analyst now share the responsibility and authority to complete and submit these annual reports. This new process ensures continuity in reporting, even in the event of staff turnover, and strengthens the City’s commitment to compliance with federal funding requirements. In addition, The City’s Procurement officer now maintains responsibility for grants from award to reversion date. A tracking file is maintained for all active grants at the point it is awarded, expended, and reimbursement received to ensure this process is properly managed. Additionally, the Finance Director oversees this responsibility so there are now multiple controls to ensure timely completion.
