Corrective Action Plan

AAFS agrees with this finding. The AAFS finance team is currently short-staffed. AAFS is working towards adding a staff accountant to the team within the next 30 days to support with the day-to-day bookkeeping and record maintenance. Since the Finance Director joined AAFS, she has been cross- training the Accountant on grant reporting requirements, reviewing monthly vouchers in terms of accuracy, cost allowability, coding, alignment with approved budgets, and ensuring vouchers are submitted by the due dates. If there would be any possibility of not meeting the due date, the assigned grant accountant would formally request an extension from funder. Moreover, finance staff participate in voucher trainings provided by funders and request one-to-one discussions with funders for guidance in vouchering for new awards.
