Condition: For the year June 30, 2024, the unadjusted schedule of expenditures of Federal awards did not report the correct Federal awards expended for each individual Federal program or in total. Cause: Management does not have internal control over preparation of the schedule of expenditures of Federal awards or reconciliation of the reported expenditures to source documentation. Effect or Potential Effect: Material misstatements of the schedule of expenditures of Federal awards could be undetected and determination of major program(s) could be based on inaccurate information. Questioned Costs: None Context: This finding relates to all aspects of the schedule of expenditures of federal awards. Recommendation: We recommend that management develop and implement internal controls over the preparation of the schedule of expenditures of Federal awards. At a minimum, they should require identification of Federal award source documentation and documentation of how the expenditure amount reported for each was calculated. Views of Responsible Official: Management will develop internal controls and oversight over the schedule of expenditures of Federal awards.
