Significant Deficiency: As discussed at Finding 2023-004, During the course of our audit, it was revealed that the Utilities Board had not recorded transactions related to grant transactions. Because of the failure to timely record grant transactions in the general ledger, the Board submitted incomplete records to the auditor at the start of the audit which led to audit delays.
