These internal controls should be in compliance with guidance in “Standards for Internal Control in the Federal Government” issued by the Comptroller General of the United States and the “Internal Control Integrated Framework”, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).” The Board is required to submit MACC reports to WorkForce WV on a monthly basis.

Effect: The Board is not in compliance with the federal statutes, regulations, and terms and conditions of the federal award. Recommendation: We recommend that the Board design and implement controls to ensure that all required reporting is submitted accurately and in a timely fashion. Views of Responsible Officials: We agree with the finding and will take the necessary corrective actions as noted in the corrective action plan attached.
