Finding Text
Finding Type - Material Weakness Criteria - The Organization should have controls in place to ensure all year-end balances are reviewed and related adjusting journal entries have been recorded in the accounting system accordingly. Condition - Several accounts were not carefully reviewed such that multiple audit journal entries were required to be made to correct accidental miscoding of dates for transactions, not stopping recurring journal entries on a timely basis, and not adjusting year-end accrual balances. Context - There was no formal process in place for reviewing the balance sheets of the individual divisions either individual or on a consolidated basis. Cause - The Organization did not record adjustments needed to reflect the correct ending balances for several accounts. Effect - As of September 30, 2025, total assets were overstated, total liabilities were understated, total support and revenue were overstated, and total expenses were overstated. Recommendation - We recommend that management implement procedures to review the preliminary year-end financial statements in depth on both a division basis and consolidated basis. Corrective Action Plan - Management agrees with this finding. Management did not, as required, conduct a comprehensive review of the internal financial statements on both a monthly basis and at year-end on a combined basis resulting in inaccurate statements requiring auditor corrections. In the future, management will appropriately review the balance sheet and income statements monthly and on a combined basis at the end of the fiscal year to insure accurate account postings resulting is accurate financial report balances.
