Finding Text

2022-002 ? Untimely Submission of Monthly and Quarterly Reports (Previously reported as 2021-002) Noncompliance Federal Program WIOA Cluster ? Assistance Listing Numbers 17.258, 17.259, 17.278 COVID-19 Employment Recovery National Dislocated Worker Grant ? Assistance Listing Number 17.277 Criteria Per EDD Directive WSD19-05, monthly and quarterly reports are to be submitted by the 20th of the month following the end of each reporting period. Condition During the fiscal years 2021 and 2022 audits, we noted various reports for the WIOA Cluster and the COVID-19 Employment Recovery National Dislocated Worker Grant were not submitted by the required date. Given that the fiscal year 2021 audit was not issued until late-September 2022, corrective actions were not implemented until after fiscal year end. Cause Due to the deficiencies in internal control noted in finding 2022-001, various reports were submitted after the reporting deadlines. Effect SDWP could jeopardize future funding due to the delays in reporting. Questioned Costs No questioned costs. Recommendation We recommend SDWP implement a system to ensure that reports are provided to management in a timely manner for review and approval so that reporting deadlines can be met. Management?s Response See Corrective Action Plan.

Corrective Action Plan

2022 002 Untimely Submission of Monthly and Quarterly Reports Noncompliance Federal Program WIOA Cluster ? Assistance Listing Numbers 17.258, 17.259, 17.278 WIOA Covid 19 Employment Recovery Assistance Listing Number 17.277 Auditor's Notes Per EDD Directive WSD19 05, monthly and quarterly reports are to be submitted by the 20th of the month following the end of each reporting period. During the FY 2021 and 2022 audits, we noted various reports for the WIOA Cluster and WIOA Covid 19 Employment Recovery were not submitted by the required date. Given that the FY 2021 audit was not issued until late September 202 , this was a known issue during FY 2022 and will remain a finding in the current year. Management's Response San Diego Workforce Partnership has incorporated a Month End Schedule identifying processing deadlines and due dates. This schedule includes reporting deadlines for EDD. The various activities in the schedule will help ensure that we have captured all the necessary components to report our financial data on a timely basis. This is in effect as of Sept 30, 2022. The Controller and VP of Finance will be responsible in ensuring this system is followed.
