AI Summary

  • Core Issue: Payroll for 1/04/2024 was processed manually and not reported to ADP, leading to unreported payroll taxes.
  • Impacted Requirements: This affects compliance with Federal and State Employment/Unemployment tax return filings for Q1 2024.
  • Recommended Follow-Up: Ensure timely transmission of payroll data to ADP and make necessary tax deposits to avoid penalties.

Finding Text

During our testing of the Project's accrued payroll & taxes for the year ended December 31, 2023, for the gross payroll of $10,370.46 and payroll taxes of $793.36, we noted that payroll was processed at net pay on 1/4/2024 and that employees were given manual payroll checks. Payroll was not transmitted to ADP, and payroll tax deposits were not made. Therefore, the 1/04/2024 payroll is unreported in the 1st Quarter 2024 filing of required Federal and State Employment/Unemployment tax returns.

Corrective Action Plan

The Project has procedures in place to process payroll. The Project will review procedures to ensure ● filing deadlines are scheduled for each operating year in advance ● designated individuals are responsible for preparing, reviewing, and transmitting payroll data to the outside payroll agent for processing ● outside payroll agent processes payroll and payroll tax returns properly and timely ● payroll obligations are paid timely ● payroll reports are timely received for each payroll period ● reconciliations are prepared each period
