Audit Finding Reference: 2022-001 Planned Corrective Action: We agree with the auditor?s finding and have taken immediate steps to address the finding. Immediately upon detection the check and the associated de minimis charge of 10% were immediately refunded to the grant via check 9418 dated May 31, 2023. Additionally on May 26, 2023, which is when the issue was identified, we held a meeting with the supervisor in charge of the programmatic staff that assembles documentation charged to the grant. The supervisor communicated that this was an oversight that has never occurred before and will not occur again in the future. The lapse related to a staff error in coding that was not detected in the initial review of the transaction. The supervisor will also reemphasize the grant requirements in training of all staff and implement an additional review and approval before all documentation is sent to accounting/finance for their review and entry into the Accounting System. Specifically, the control will add an additional review that checks that pertain to the VOCA grant cannot be written directly to the victim. We also made additional updates to our finance procedures and Finance Procedure Manual to further emphasize and increase the scrutiny of the reviews in place. Name of Contact Person: Joan Hunter, MBA, Finance Director Anticipated completion date: The Corrective action plan above was implemented on May 26, 2023 was completed on May 31, 2023 when the check was mailed to Colorado Department of Public Safety. A General Ledger correction was also made with the writing of this check.
