Assistance Listing Number/Program Title: #66.468/Capitalization Grants for Drinking Water State Revolving Loan Fund Federal Agency/Pass-Through Entity: Environmental Protection Agency/Wisconsin Department of Administration Award Number/Year: 5650-02/2025 Criteria: Proper financial closing and year-end reconciliation procedures should be in place to identify and adjust the financial records to ensure the financial statements are fairly stated. Condition: The auditors proposed audit adjustments that, if not made, would have resulted in the financial statements being materially misstated. Cause: Financial information was not recorded in a timely manner and material adjustments were needed in order to correct various transactions. Effect: The City’s system of internal control may not prevent, detect, or correct misstatements in the financial statements. Financial reports generated by the accounting system may not provide an accurate reflection of the City’s financial position or activities. Not reconciling accounts on a timely basis could lead to errors or other problems not being recognized and resolved. Recommendation: The auditors recommend that policies and procedures should be implemented to ensure account balances are properly recorded and reconciled in a timely manner. Response: The City acknowledges their responsibility for the financial statements and recording of the current year activity. Going forward, the City will work toward verifying that all activity is completely and accurately recorded in the financial records and reflected on the financial statements.
