AI Summary

  • Core Issue: The City failed to reconcile grant receivables, revenues, and expenditures accurately.
  • Impacted Requirements: The reported amounts on the SEFA do not align with allowable costs.
  • Recommended Follow-Up: Implement a proper reconciliation process for grant-related financials.

Finding Text

As described in finding 2021-002, the City was not properly reconciling grant receivables, revenues, and expenditures. In addition, amounts initially reported on the SEFA were derived from general ledger details which do not necessarily equate to allowable costs to be claimed and reported on the SEFA.

Corrective Action Plan

The City will analyze the agency’s existing procedures associated with the preparation of the annual Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA), make any necessary modifications, and ensure these procedures are both adequate and consistently followed.
