Recommendation: CLA recommend more thorough accounting and review our financial reports.
Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding.
Condition: During our audit testing, we noted that 1 of the quarterly reports SF-425 reports tested were incomplete.
Action taken in response to finding: In FY 2019, accounting services were provided by a company contracted for financial functions. In FY 2020 new positions were created and staff hired to perform all financial accounting in-house. Significant work has been done to provide accurate reports. Although not required, a spreadsheet was created to track cumulative revenue and expenditures with checks and balances to document the calculation of report amounts for each quarterly report. The SF-425 financial report is submitted with the spreadsheet, financial records and reports from the accounting software such as the income statement, trial balance, cash report and monthly reconciliation reports to provide documentation of the source of information used to provide the most accurate reports as possible.
