Finding Text

2023-3 Utility Accruals Not Properly Posted Condition: Management did not record utility accruals in the accounting records. Criteria: The accrual accounting method ensures transactions are recognized in the accounting period incurred, rather than paid, which follows the matching principle. Cause: The cause is undeterminable. Effect: Not recording accruals could have a material impact on both the balance sheet and the income statements. Recommendation: I recommend management post all accruals to properly reflect the financial position of the Project.

Corrective Action Plan

Going forward, we will adjust the utility accruals based on the most recent utility billings.
