Finding 2023-001: Internal Control over Compliance
Type of finding: Internal Control (material weakness) and Compliance (noncompliance)
Recommendation: The Organization should strengthen its internal controls over year-end financial close and reporting with adopted policies and procedures to ensure compliance with the Report submission portion of the Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements section.
Action Taken: The Organization plans to strengthen internal controls by adopting methods that allow for better tracking of restricted versus unrestricted funding, in addition to creating internal methods of tracking income, expense, and reporting of restricted funds throughout the year. The Organization took action with a change in management and a new external bookkeeper, which will allow the above processes to be
completed with oversight from both internal and external sources.
If there are questions regarding this plan, please call the responsible party listed below.
