Finding Text
2025-007 U.S. Department of Treasury Passed Trough the State of Nevada Office of the Governor COVID-19 - Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (CSLFRF), 21.027 Award Year 2021 Reporting Material Weakness in Internal Control over Compliance and Material Noncompliance Criteria: The OMB Supplement requires that reports submitted to the federal awarding agency include all activity of the reporting period, are supported by applicable accounting or performance records, and are fairly presented in accordance with governing requirements. The City must submit an annual Project and Expenditure Report that contains CSLFRF costs incurred during the covered period to the Treasury Office of Inspector General. Critical information includes: • Current period obligation • Cumulative obligation • Current period expenditures • Cumulative expenditures Condition: The annual reported cumulative expenditures were overstated by $464,672, current period obligations were overstated by $3,059,105, and the current period expenditures were overstated by $610,505. Cause: The City did not have adequate internal controls to ensure that the report was accurate. Effect: Amounts reported to the Department of Treasury for the program expenditures and current obligations did not agree to the underlying support. Questioned Costs: None reported Context/Sampling: All reports were selected for testing as there was only one report during the year. Repeat Finding from Prior Year(s): No. Recommendation: We recommend the City enhance internal controls to ensure that reporting is accurate. Management’s Response: Management understands the importance of correcting this deficiency. Management is working on controls to establish a secondary reviewer requirement. All annual reports must be verified against source documentation (receipts, payroll registers, and contracts) by a staff member independent of the original data entry process prior to reports being submitted.
