Finding Text

Criteria or specific requirement: Performance and financial monitoring and reporting done post federal award must comply with the post federal award requirements at 45 CFR part 75, subpart D. Condition: We were unable to obtain evidence supporting the timely submission of monthly special reporting required under the program. This did not extend to the quarterly reporting required under the program. Context: Of the 12 monthly reports available for testing, we randomly selected three reports filed during fiscal year 2022 noting there was no support available to substantiate that the reports were submitted timely by the County. Effect: There could have been delays in required monthly reporting to Treasury. Cause: There is currently no system in place to track monthly reporting deadlines and submissions. Repeat finding: No. Recommendation: We recommend the County work to establish an internal tracking system to memorialize reporting deadlines and track the submission of required reports under the program. Views of responsible officials: Management agrees with the finding and auditor recommendation.
