Condition/Criteria: General ledger account balances should be reconciled to subsidiary ledgers and supporting documentation in a timely manner to ensure the accuracy and completeness of the financial statements. Cause: The Organization experienced an increase in turnover of accounting personnel in addition to constraints arising as a result of COVID-19. Effect: The Organization’s financial statements could be misstated due to errors not detected and/or corrected in a timely manner. This also resulted in several audit adjustments.

Corrective Action Plan

Actions Planned: The Organization will hire appropriate accounting personnel necessary to operate the finance departmental activities. General ledger accounts will be accurately reconciled to appropriate subsidiary ledgers and/or supporting documentation, and all discrepancies should be investigated and resolved on a routine basis.
