2024-008 Programs: All Significant Deficiency in Internal Controls and Noncompliance over Reporting Repeat Finding: Yes; 2023-007 Condition: The City's audited financial statements and the data collection form were not completed within nine months after the end of the audit period. Criteria: In accordance with 2 CFR § 200.512, the audit must be completed, and the data collection form must be submitted 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. Cause: The City does not maintain a centralized grant accounting function or standardized policies and procedures, including requirements to periodically submit and reconcile expenditures; instead, each department maintains its own grant information. The lack of submission of grant documents and accurate information by the various agencies and departments to Finance weakens internal controls over grant reporting and hinders the ability of Finance to accurately prepare the Schedule. Internal controls over financial reporting should be designed to prevent, detect or correct errors in a timely manner. Without adequate controls, the City cannot provide reasonable assurance that the Schedule is fairly presented. Controls have not been established by the City to ensure complete and accurate reporting for the SEFA for the 2024 fiscal year. Effect: The City could not be in compliance with Uniform Guidance. Questioned Costs: Unknown. Recommendation: We recommend that Finance establish policies and procedures to ensure that the Federal funds are properly identified and reported accurately in the Schedule in accordance with Uniform Guidance requirements. We also recommend that individuals responsible for administering Federal assistance programs with the City receive training in grant administration. Auditee Response and Corrective Action Plan: Management agrees with the finding. Refer to the corrective action plan on current findings in Part V of this report.
