AI Summary

  • Issue: The Organization failed to open a reserve bank account as required by compliance rules.
  • Impact: This oversight leads to program noncompliance, which could have serious implications.
  • Next Steps: The Organization needs to establish the reserve bank account and ensure the necessary deposits are made.

Finding Text

Finding 2022-001 Criteria: The Organization must establish a reserve bank account as stated in the program compliance requirements. Condition: The Organization did not open a reserve bank account as required by the program compliance requirements. Context: During substantive testing of cash and the performance of dual-purpose testing of compliance and controls over compliance, it was determined that the Organization had not met the requirement to establish a reserve bank account. Effect: Not establishing a reserve bank account is a stated compliance requirement; this would have the effect of program noncompliance. Cause: The Organization received a loan from United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Rural Development (RD) and management was not aware of the compliance requirement. Recommendation: The Organization should establish a reserve bank account and make the required deposits.

Corrective Action Plan

Finding 2022-001: Management indicated they would review the compliance requirements, establish a reserve bank account, and communicate with USDA Rural Development about the requirements (e.g. monthly deposit amount, required balance).
