Finding 2023-003: Material Weakness, Late Issuance of the 2023 Single Audit Reporting Criteria/Context: Uniform Guidance 2 CFR 200.512(a) requires that each organization’s audit must be completed and the data collection form and reporting package should be submitted within the earlier of 30 days after receipt of the auditor’s report or nine months after the end of the audit period. Applicable to all assistance listing numbers (ALN’s) and federal agencies (and passthrough entities) included on the accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards for the year ended June 30, 2023. Condition/Finding: The Single Audit package for the Town’s fiscal year ended June 30, 2023, should have been submitted to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse by March 31, 2024. The Town missed the filing deadline, making the filing for 2023 late. Cause: The cause is the lack of effective controls over financial reporting resulted in delays in both the Financial Statement Audit and Single Audit. Effect or Potential Effect: This can result in an inaccurate amount reported in the SEFA, SESA, or basic financial statements or the disallowance of expenditures / future awards by the grantor due to lack of proper reporting. In addition, late filings result in noncompliance with the requirements of the Uniform Guidance and makes the Town ineligible for consideration as a low risk auditee under Uniform Guidance, expanding the scope and cost of the single audit. Recommendation: We recommend the Town evaluate the process and design of internal controls over financial reporting, including the SEFA and SESA, in order to ensure readiness for the audit and to avoid late filing of the data collection form. Views of Responsible Officials: Management agrees with the finding. Questioned Costs: None Context: The June 30, 2023, Single Audit package.

Finding 2023-02 - Significant Deficiency in Internal Control over Compliance with Reporting - Child Care and Development Block Grant- Assistance Listing #93.575, Child Care Mandatory and Matching Funds of the Child Care Development Fund - Assistance Listing #93.596 Criteria or Specified Requirement Title 2 CFR Section 200.512(a) requires, the auditee must submit the data collection form described in paragraph (b) of 2 CFR Section 200.512 and the reporting package described in paragraph (c) of that section within the earlier of 30 calendar days after receipt of the auditor's report(s), or nine months after the end of the audit period. The required data elements described in Appendix X to Part 200, state whether the audit was completed in accordance with this part and provide information about the auditee, its Federal programs, and the results of the audit. The data must include information available from the audit that is necessary for Federal agencies to use the audit to ensure integrity for Federal programs. Condition Found The Council failed to meet the statutory deadline for filing its Single Audit with the Federal Clearinghouse. Cause Due to changes in staffing during the execution period of the 2021-2023 audit, the Council lacked management staff with the experience and first hand knowledge of the transaction for that period to be able to take responsibility for the audit. As a result, it was necessary to engage an outside accounting firm to complete the year end in order to be able to complete the audit and to take responsibility for the financial statements. This process extended beyond the statutory deadline for the submission of the Data Collection Forms to the Federal Clearinghouse. Effect The Council was out of compliance with 2 CFR 200,512(a). Questioned Costs Monthly allocations are made within the accounting software but the hour and transaction totals are not documented; consequently, there is no way to recompute the allocation to include all funds, activities and projects used by the Organization. However, it is believed that the differences would not be material to any individual award. Recommendation After consultation regarding possible remedies to the condition, the Council engaged an outside accounting firm to provide financial oversight. We recommend that the Council continue that relationship, or a similar relationship until such time as they can develop sufficient capability among staff to meet the requirements for oversight.

Condition/Finding: The Single Audit packages for the City’s fiscal year ended June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022, should have been submitted to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse by March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023, respectfully.
