Finding 2022-002: Preparation of the Schedule of Federal Expenditures (SEFA) Criteria: In accordance with 2 CFR 200.302 (Financial Management) the auditee must be able to identify all Federal awards received and expended and the Federal programs under which they were received. Federal program and Federal award identification must include, as applicable, the assistance listing number, Federal award identification number and year, name of the Federal agency, and name of the pass-through entity, if any. Condition: During our review of the initial SEFA several errors came to our attention. There were multiple instances where the expenditures reported on the SEFA did not agree to the underlying supporting financial reports, and adjustments to the SEFA were required. Cause: During fiscal year 2022, the SEFA was not maintained with sufficient accuracy and detail. At year-end, there was insufficient review of the SEFA by the appropriate personnel who possess the necessary expertise. Effect or Potential Effect: Inaccurate and incomplete information on the SEFA could lead to unreliable and erroneous grant reporting, internal record keeping and decision making. Questioned Costs: Undetermined Context: Our audit testwork consisted of substantive procedures over the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards. We determined that the issue was systemic in nature. Identification as a Repeat Finding: Yes - Findings 2020-002 and 2021-002. Recommendation: We recommend ABC review the SEFA and supporting schedules prior to the audit to ensure the SEFA is complete and all numbers are accurate and can be supported. Additionally, to reduce the risk of human error, we recommend all grant activity be tracked within the accounting system.

FINDING 2022-004 Subject: Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response (SAFER) - Cash Management Federal Agency: Department of Homeland Security Federal Program: Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response (SAFER) Assistance Listings Number: 97.083 Federal Award Number and Year (or Other Identifying Number): EMW-2019-FF-00944 Compliance Requirement: Cash Management Audit Findings: Material Weakness, Modified Opinion Condition and Context The Township submits request for reimbursements to the Federal Emergency Management Agency of the Department of Homeland Security. The reimbursement method of cash management requires the Township to retain supporting documentation that shows the costs for which reimbursement was requested were paid prior to the reimbursement date. The Township was awarded a SAFER grant to increase the number of firefighters and was approved for personnel and fringe benefits costs, which includes health insurance, for nine additional firefighters. The Township is self-insured and would make payments to third-party administrators and other benefit coordinators. The Township would pay a large dollar amount at the end of each year to its selfinsurance benefit coordinators for the next year's benefit, and then additional payments throughout the year as needed for employee's medical claim coverage. These payments were made from various Township funds and the Payroll Deductions fund. Additionally, the payroll deductions for health insurance, including those for employees paid from the grant, would accumulate in the Payroll Deductions fund, and be used for payments to the benefit coordinators as needed and the payment of the next year's required funding. The amount submitted for reimbursement for health insurance benefits were based upon a calculation. The Township did not have supporting documentation for the calculation of those benefits that were claimed. In addition, the health insurance benefits claimed for reimbursement were not paid out of the SAFER Grant Fund and were not at a transaction level in the ledger. The health insurance benefit submitted for reimbursement could not be tied to a specific payment; thus, we were unable to determine the Township's compliance for the health benefit reimbursements being incurred and paid prior to the Township's request for reimbursement. The lack of internal controls and noncompliance were systemic issues throughout the audit period. Criteria 2 CFR 200.303 states in part: "The non-Federal entity must: (a) 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. These internal controls should be in compliance with guidance in 'Standards for Internal Control in the Federal Government' issued by the Comptroller General of the United States or the 'Internal Control Integrated Framework', issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). . . ." 2 CFR 200.302 states in part: "(a) Each state must expend and account for the Federal award in accordance with state laws and procedures for expending and accounting for the state's own funds. In addition, the state's and the other non-Federal entity's financial management systems, including records documenting compliance with Federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of the Federal award, must be sufficient to permit the preparation of reports required by general and program-specific terms and conditions; and the tracing of funds to a level of expenditures adequate to establish that such funds have been used according to the Federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of the Federal award. See also ? 200.450. (b) The financial management system of each non-Federal entity must provide for the following (see also ?? 200.334, 200.335, 200.336, and 200.337): (1) Identification, in its accounts, of all Federal awards received and expended and the Federal programs under which they were received. Federal program and Federal award identification must include, as applicable, the Assistance Listings title and number, Federal award identification number and year, name of the Federal agency, and name of the pass-through entity, if any. (2) Accurate, current, and complete disclosure of the financial results of each Federal award or program in accordance with the reporting requirements set forth in ?? 200.328 and 200.329. If a Federal awarding agency requires reporting on an accrual basis from a recipient that maintains its records on other than an accrual basis, the recipient must not be required to establish an accrual accounting system. This recipient may develop accrual data for its reports on the basis of an analysis of the documentation on hand. Similarly, a pass-through entity must not require a subrecipient to establish an accrual accounting system and must allow the subrecipient to develop accrual data for its reports on the basis of an analysis of the documentation on hand. (3) Records that identify adequately the source and application of funds for federallyfunded activities. These records must contain information pertaining to Federal awards, authorizations, financial obligations, unobligated balances, assets, expenditures, income and interest and be supported by source documentation. (4) Effective control over, and accountability for, all funds, property, and other assets. The non-Federal entity must adequately safeguard all assets and assure that they are used solely for authorized purposes. See ? 200.303. . . ." Cause A system of internal controls was not designed or implemented by management of the Township which would include segregation of key functions. Embedded within a properly designed and implemented internal control system should be internal controls consisting of policies and procedures. Policies reflect management's expectation of what should be done to effect internal controls, and procedures should consist of actions that would implement these policies. Effect Without the proper implementation of an effectively designed system of internal controls, the internal control system cannot be capable of effectively preventing, or detecting and correcting, material noncompliance. As a result, health insurance benefits were requested for reimbursement without adequate supporting documentation that the amount was paid prior to the request. Noncompliance with the grant agreement and the cash management compliance requirement could result in the loss of future federal funds to the Township. Questioned Costs There were no questioned costs identified. Recommendation We recommended that management of the Township establish a proper system of internal controls and develop policies and procedures to ensure expenses are paid prior to requesting reimbursement.

Finding #2022-001: Reporting Federal Program: U.S. Department of Commerce, Regional Fishery Management Councils CFDA 11.441 Criteria: WPRFMC is required to submit Form SF-425 (Federal Financial Report) for each of its federal awards on a semi-annual basis for the periods ending March 31 and September 30. These reports are due no later than 30 calendar days following the end of each reporting period. Internal controls should provide for these reports to contain accurate, current, and complete financial results (2 CFR ?200.302(b)(2)). Condition: For 8 of 12 semi-annual Federal Financial Reports tested, the reported cash disbursements did not reconcile to the expenditures recorded in the general ledger. Unreconciled differences ranged from $30 to $104,174 and totaled approximately $199,000. Cause: Internal controls over the recording and classification of expenditures in the general ledger were inadequate to permit the accurate reporting of expenditures within the required 30-day period. Effect or Potential Effect: Financial reports provided to the Department of Commerce could be materially misstated. Identification as a Repeat Finding: See Finding #2021-002 included in the Summary Schedule of Prior Audit Findings. Recommendation: We recommend WPRFMC continue to improve the necessary internal controls to ensure expenditures are timely and accurately recorded and classified in the general ledger. These controls should provide for the timely reconciliation of cash disbursements reported on the Federal Financial Reports to expenditures recorded for each federal award in the general ledger.
2022-002: U.S. Department of Environment Protection ? Assistance Listing # 66.468 Capitalization Grants for Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (Drinking Water State Revolving Fund Cluster) Lack of Required Written Policies & Procedures ? Compliance Condition & Criteria: The Authority does not currently have all the written policies and procedures in place as required by the Uniform Guidance as it relates to financial management and determining allowability of costs for the federal program (Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 200.302 & 200.305). In addition CFR sections 200.318, 200.319, and 200.320 require there to be written policies and procedures regarding procurement and conflicts of interest. Effect: Although not likely, the oversight agency could disallow all costs associated with this program. Cause: This is the Authority?s first time subject to the requirements of the Uniform Guidance as they have not had any significant federal grant funding in a number of years. The Authority does have a set of informal policies and procedures that are followed as it relates to financial management, allowability of costs, procurement, and conflicts of interest, and have been very careful to carry out all federal program activities in accordance with established regulations; however the Authority was simply not aware of the requirement that these polices and procedures be documented in writing. Recommendation: We recommend that the Authority work towards getting those policies and procedures documented in writing so that they are in compliance with the requirements of the Uniform Guidance. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions: The Authority understand the potential effects of the condition described above and will work towards getting the necessary policies and procedures in place as they relate to federal programs documented in writing.

Finding 2022-002: Preparation of the Schedule of Federal Expenditures (SEFA) Criteria: In accordance with 2 CFR 200.302 (Financial Management) the auditee must be able to identify all Federal awards received and expended and the Federal programs under which they were received. Federal program and Federal award identification must include, as applicable, the assistance listing number, Federal award identification number and year, name of the Federal agency, and name of the pass-through entity, if any. Condition: During our review of the initial SEFA several errors came to our attention. There were multiple instances where the expenditures reported on the SEFA did not agree to the underlying supporting financial reports, and adjustments to the SEFA were required. Cause: During fiscal year 2022, the SEFA was not maintained with sufficient accuracy and detail. At year-end, there was insufficient review of the SEFA by the appropriate personnel who possess the necessary expertise. Effect or Potential Effect: Inaccurate and incomplete information on the SEFA could lead to unreliable and erroneous grant reporting, internal record keeping and decision making. Questioned Costs: Undetermined Context: Our audit testwork consisted of substantive procedures over the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards. We determined that the issue was systemic in nature. Identification as a Repeat Finding: Yes - Findings 2020-002 and 2021-002. Recommendation: We recommend ABC review the SEFA and supporting schedules prior to the audit to ensure the SEFA is complete and all numbers are accurate and can be supported. Additionally, to reduce the risk of human error, we recommend all grant activity be tracked within the accounting system.
