AI Summary

  • Core Issue: 21% of tested general expense transactions lacked required management approvals, indicating a significant internal control deficiency.
  • Impacted Requirements: Compliance with oversight for allowable costs and activities related to grants is not being met.
  • Recommended Follow-Up: Management should implement a robust process to ensure all grant-related expenses receive necessary approvals.

Finding Text

Criteria: The Organization’s internal control system should be properly designed to ensure that allowable costs charged to grants are receiving the appropriate level of oversight and review. Condition: A significant deficiency of internal control over compliance was identified related to general expense transactions. Out of a sample of 120 general expense transactions tested, 25 expenses (21%) did not have the required approvals from management. This finding is in relation to testing over compliance requirements A (activities allowed or unallowed) and B (allowable costs/cost principles). No questioned costs were discovered as a result of this testing and statistical sampling was not utilized when determining the sample selections. Cause: The Organization has not implemented procedures, to the degree necessary, to ensure that expenses allocated to specific grants are receiving the proper documentation of approvals from management. Effect: Out of a sample of 120 general expense transactions tested, 25 expenses (21%) did not have the required approvals from management. Recommendation: We recommend management implement a process to ensure that expenses allocated to specific grants receive the required approvals from management. Views of Responsible Officials and Corrective Action Plan: Management has revised its policies and procedures where all invoices, no matter what the amount is, to be entered into Sage Intacct as a purchase requisition. This has provided an audit trail showing invoices are being approved to be paid.
