AI Summary

  • Core Issue: Payroll reporting included an overstatement of allowable costs for a qualified employee, claiming 100% instead of the permitted 63%.

  • Recommended Follow-Up: Implement procedures to verify employee salary information on reimbursement forms to prevent future overstatements.

Finding Text

Type of Finding: Significant Internal Control over Payroll Reporting Compliance Requirement: Allowable Costs Criteria: Under the program requirements, the allowable cost for qualified employees is only 63% of their wages. Condition: It was noted the supporting documentation submitted for a qualified employee on the reimbursement forms to United Way of San Antonio and Bexar County, included allocated cost of wages to the program of 100%. This led to the overstatement of $834. Cause: No procedures are in place to determine qualified employee salary information included on reimbursement forms is correct. Effect: Using unallowable cost allocations can lead to over-requesting of funds and non-compliance with the program.
