The financial policies and procedures will be modified with the policy to include review of the submissions by the CEO and the CPA prior to submission of the grant reimbursement request, this will increase the ability to segregate the duties and provide more accurate reporting. Overall, with 2023 still coping with lack of employment pool coming off COVID, securing the CFO was and is crucial to prevent future findings in the Internal Control over the programs. The IL Alliance that manages the grant for the local organization has created a new tool to assist in the accuracy of the submissions which have been provided since January 1st which will eliminate most reimbursement discrepancies. For example, if the supplies budget line-item was $500.00 and the organization submitted $525.00 in receipts the tool being utilized will be highlighted in red and will not be reimbursed at $525.00, only the $500.00 allowed and this is through all the grants. No overage of dollars
was received other than what the grant allowed even though the submission might have been less or more. If it was less, the IL Alliance reaches out to the organization for additional receipts. The Boys & Girls Club of Livingston County will ensure the numbers are more accurate in the reporting moving forward.
