Finding Text

SA-2024-03 FEDERAL PROGRAM : BUILD Grant 20.933 CONDITION: During our testing of the SF-270 report, we found that the report was inaccurate because the associated expenditures and subsequent reimbursements were adjusted after it was originally filed, and the report was not subsequently amended to reflect those changes. CRITERIA: The SF-270 report should be refiled if changes are made after initially filed. EFFECT: Without accurate reporting, the Port can be found out of compliance by the federal agency. CAUSE: The dates were incorrect on the report due to an expenditure being recorded incorrectly. RECOMMENDATION: We recommend the SF-270 reports are re-filed if needed. MANAGEMENT’S RESPONSE: Additional controls are in place to make sure the expenditures are recorded correctly and reports will be reviewed if any changes are made to expenditures.

Corrective Action Plan

3. Deficiency #3 – Federal Grant Reporting a. Type of deficiency: Material Weakness – During our testing of the Port’s BUILD20 reporting requirements, we noted the SF-270 report dates were not accurate as a result of the associated expenditures being adjusted. We recommend the Port refiles affected SF-270 to match the reported expenditures for the fiscal year. b. The checklist noted in Deficiency #2 is also being used to make sure the SF-270s are correct. We are working with the Federal Highway Administration to see about refiling SF-270s. c. Already implemented.
