FINDING 2023-005 Finding Subject: COVID-19 – Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds – Suspension and Disbarment: Summary of Finding: Material Weakness, Modified Opinion An effective internal control system, which would include segregation of duties, was not in place at the County in order to ensure compliance with requirements related to the grant agreement and the procurement and suspension and debarment compliance. Prior to entering into subawards and covered transactions with Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (CSLFRF), SLFRF funds, recipients are required to verify that contractors and subrecipients are not suspended, debarred, or otherwise excluded. Upon inquiring of the County to determine its policies and procedures related to suspension and debarment requirements for the CSLFRF, SLFRF funds, the County stated procedures were not in place to ensure vendors were not suspended or debarred prior to entering into covered transactions. The County had not performed procedures to ensure the vendors were not suspended or debarred or otherwise excluded or disqualified from participation in federal assistance programs or activities during the audit period on all of the 13 vendors determined to have covered transactions totaling $4,440,497, that were paid with SLFRF funds. The lack of internal controls and compliance under the previous Auditor Timothy J. Stabosz were systemic issues throughout the audit period.

Finding: The County’s first quarter 2023 performance report incorrectly included expenditures that were incurred throughout fiscal year 2022.

Furthermore, moving forward, any grant funds will be placed into their own individual funds and distributed through an individual account. This approach will allow us to track payments for any expenses associated with these funds more effectively. Additionally, the BOT expenditure is done and in the future we will do a better job.

(2023-005) Late Submission of Single Audit Reporting Package Criteria Per 2 CFR § 200.512(l), non-federal entities must submit the Single Audit reporting package to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse within the earlier of 30 calendar days after receipt of the auditor’s report or nine months after the fiscal year-end. Condition The District’s reporting package for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023, was not submitted to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse within the required timeframe. As of the date of this report, the reporting package has not yet been submitted. Cause The District did not have adequate procedures in place to ensure timely completion of the financial audit and preparation of the reporting package. Effect The District did not comply with the Uniform Guidance submission deadline, which may impact the timeliness of federal oversight and potentially affect future federal funding decisions. Questioned Costs No questioned costs were identified as a result of our procedures. Context/Sampling The FY2023 Single audit was performed in 2025 after it was determined that the grant funds were expended on eligible activities, triggering the Single Audit requirement. The delay was due to the District not identifying the requirement timely and lacking procedures to ensure prompt submission. Recommendation We recommend that the District implement processes and internal controls to ensure future Single Audits are completed and submitted within the required timeframe. Management’s Corrective Action Planned Management concurs with the recommendation. IVGID will establish a procedure to review and reconcile grants both federal and state at year-end to determine the need for a single audit and submission to the required agencies.

(2023-004) Documentation of Purchasing Compliance - Significant deficiency Criteria Per CFR §180.300 and 2 CFR §200.214, the District must verify vendors are not suspended or debarred or otherwise excluded from participating in a covered transaction. This verification may be accomplished by checking the Excluded Parties List System (EPLS) maintained by the General Services Administration (GSA); collecting a certification from the entity, or adding a clause or condition to the covered transaction with that entity. Condition During our testing of suspension and debarment compliance, we noted that the District did not retain documentation demonstrating that vendors were verified as not suspended, debarred, or otherwise excluded from participation in federal programs prior to execution of two contracts, each with expenditures exceeding $25,000. Cause The District did not have formalized procedures to ensure suspension and debarment verifications were performed and documented prior to executing covered contracts. Effect Without adequate verification and documentation, there is a risk that the District could contract with vendors who are ineligible to receive federal funds, resulting in noncompliance with federal regulations. Questioned Costs No questioned costs were identified as a result of our procedures. Context/Sampling Two vendor contracts with expenditures greater than $25,000 were selected for testing. In both cases, the District did not provide documentation of suspension and debarment verification at the time of contract execution. Recommendation We recommend that the District implement procedures to verify vendor eligibility prior to entering into federally funded contracts. Acceptable methods include retaining a SAM.gov screenshot, obtaining vendor certification, or including a suspension and debarment clause in the contract. The District should also ensure documentation is retained in the procurement file and assign responsibility for this task to appropriate staff. Training and periodic reviews should be conducted to reinforce compliance and reduce the risk of using ineligible vendors. Management’s Corrective Action Planned Management concurs with the recommendation. IVGID will implement a procedure to document the procurement process and review of suspension and debarment for all vendors that undergo the bidding process.
