Finding Text

Condition: The District did not monitor completeness of weekly certified payroll submission for federally funded construction contracts. Criteria: Construction projects paid with Education Stabilization Funds are subject to wage rate requirements. The District is responsible for monitoring that all weekly certified payrolls are received. Cause: The contractor did not provide a current subcontractor list to the District noting who would subject to certified weekly payroll and did not provide weekly reports to the District indicating which subcontractors were onsite. The District did receive the contractor’s certified weekly payrolls, but did not receive any for the subcontractors until we requested them during our audit procedures. Effect: It is possible that not all contractors required to certify weekly payroll submitted their wage rate certifications. Recommendation: The District should enhance control procedures to monitor completeness of the documents provided by the general contractor.
