Finding Text

Material weakness in internal control over financial reporting: Material audit adjustment Criteria: Management is responsible for maintaining its accounting records in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Condition: Two contributions with donor restrictions were recorded as without donor restriction. Context: Identified by the auditor during testing of revenue in the financial statement audit. Cause: Internal controls did not identify all contributions which included donor restrictions. Effect or Potential Effect: As a result of this condition, $70,000 was reclassified from revenue and net assets without donor restrictions to revenue and net assets with donor restrictions. Recommendation: We recommend the Organization provide review for all grant agreements to ensure amounts restricted by the donor are recorded with donor restriction. Responsible Official’s Response: Agree. Corrective Action will be for the AIOA Controller to consult with and collaborate with the AIOA CFO on the determination of the revenue treatment of grants and contributions received from private foundations to ascertain the existence of conditions and/or donor imposed restrictions.
