Questioned Costs: None reported. Context: Sampling was not used. Repeat Finding from Prior Years: No Recommendation: We recommend management be aware of the financial reporting requirements relating to the Corporation’s schedule of expenditures of federal awards and the internal controls that impact financial reporting.
