AI Summary

  • Answer: Management failed to record $12K in utility accruals.

Finding Text

Condition: Management did not record utility accruals in the accounting records in the amount of $12K. 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

We will ensure that going forward utility accruals will be properly posted.
