The City will strengthen its internal controls over the preparation of the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA) by implementing the improvements outlined in the corrective action for Finding 2022-002. The City’s updated Grants Administration Policy, standardized grant packet requirements, and the addition of a full-time Accountant responsible for grant reconciliation will provide the structure and oversight necessary to ensure accurate reporting of federal expenditures. The Accountant will perform year-end SEFA preparation in coordination with departmental grant managers and Finance staff to verify that expenditures reported on the SEFA reconcile to the general ledger and represent allowable costs under each federal award. This enhanced oversight will help ensure that the SEFA is prepared accurately, consistently, and in compliance with federal reporting requirements. The Accountant will also coordinate communication between department grant managers and the Finance Division to ensure that grant agreements, budgets, amendments, reports, and supporting documentation are complete and properly recorded. The updated Grants Administration Policy will reflect these strengthened processes and the centralized oversight provided through this position.
