Reporting
Material Weakness in Internal Control over Compliance; Material Noncompliance
Criteria - 2 CFR 200.303(a) establishes that the auditee must establish and maintain effective internal controls
over the federal awards that provide assurance that the entity is managing the federal awards in compliance
with federal statutes, regulations, and the conditions of the federal award. 2 CFR 200.327 and 2 CFR 200.328
require the auditee to collect financial information and monitor its activities under federal awards to assure
compliance with applicable federal requirements and performance expectations are being achieved and report
these items in accordance with the program requirements.
Condition - The SF-425 annual report dated September 30, 2024, for award AIP3-46-0050-64 underreported the
federal share of expenditures by $23,588, while the FAA Form 5100-127 annual report dated December 31,
2023, for all awards underreported the total capital expenditures and construction in progress by $2,729,962.
Cause - The Authority does not have an internal control structure designed to ensure amounts reported on
SF-425 and FAA Form 5100-127 reports are adequately reviewed and agree to underlying accounting records.
Effect - Lack of compliance with designed internal controls over reporting could result in the Authority reporting
incorrect or incomplete information.
Questioned Costs - None reported.
Context/Sampling - A nonstatistical sample of 7 reports out of 27 reports.
Repeat Finding from Prior Year – Yes, prior year finding 2023-002
Recommendation - Management should determine and formalize reporting responsibilities between the Airport
and the State and establish review processes to ensure that amounts included in SF-425 and FAA Form 5100-127
reports agree with the underlying accounting records.
Views of Responsible Officials - Management agrees with the finding.
