Finding: The County’s reported expenditures incurred in fiscal year 2022 were incorrectly reported.
Cause: Internal controls and review processes were not in place to ensure the accuracy of expenditures reported on the annual SEFA.
Recommendation: Management should implement procedures to help ensure that controls are in place that will allow for the accurate preparation of the SEFA. We recommend that the County perform a detailed analysis of expenditures for all significant awards on an annual basis.
Corrective Action Plan: Effective immediately, the County will put in additional controls and verify all grants are monitored under additional scrutiny and are reported accurately in quarterly reports and the County’s Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR).
