AI Summary

  • Core Issue: LMI's internal control process for reviewing semi-annual financial reports is ineffective, leading to late submissions.
  • Impacted Requirements: The reports were not properly reviewed by the Executive Director, violating grant agreement timelines.
  • Recommended Follow-Up: Implement internal controls to ensure timely and compliant review and submission of federal award reports.

Finding Text

Condition: Based on our audit procedures, we noted that LMI’s internal control process for reviewing and submitting the semi-annual financial reports due under the grant agreement was not working effectively. Two of the semi-annual financial reports submitted during the year under audit were not properly reviewed by the Executive Director and were submitted later than the due date. Cause: The ineffective report review process was a result of LMI not having set controls as it relates to the federal award. Repeat Finding: No Recommendation: We recommend that LMI implements certain internal control processes to ensure that reporting related to federal awards are reviewed and submitted in compliance with grant agreements. Views of Responsible Officials: See Corrective Action Plan.
