AI Summary

  • Recommended Follow-Up: Improve coordination between the grants and fiscal departments to ensure timely drawdowns and reconciliations of grant-related expenses.

Finding Text

Criteria – 2CFR Part 200 requires an auditee to prepare a complete and accurate Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA). Condition – During our audit, we noted that DTC did not have a system in place to correctly identify and record the federal expenditures. We noted certain matters that collectively constituted a material weakness in reporting the federal expenditures. The items noted are as follows: Due to lack of coordination between the grants department and the fiscal department, FTA drawdowns were not performed on a timely basis. Timing differences were noted in reporting the expenses in the financial statements and the federal drawdowns. It was further noted that a reconciliation of the grant-related expenses with the general ledger was not performed on a timely basis. Questioned Costs – None Cause/Effect – The SEFA was not accurately stated as a result of not identifying certain federal award expenditures.
