Finding Text

During the disbursement test, we noted that compensation of employees is not distributed based on the actual time devoted or identified specifically to the performance of those awards. The Agency is currently in the process to adjust reports submitted to allocate costs to the applicable award.

Corrective Action Plan

The agency has already taken significant strides in response to the auditor's recommendations. The finalization of our time distribution structure implementation is well underway, with a focus on aligning costs with the relative benefits received. Concurrently, formal procedures for payroll cost allocation have been in development, nearing completion to ensure accurate and compliant allocation. A comprehensive training program for our finance personnel will be develop, equipping them with the skills needed for effective implementation. To uphold the integrity of these measures, a robust monitoring system will be implemented to oversee adherence. Proposed Completion Date: March 30, 2024
