AI Summary

  • Core Issue: One subrecipient's financial review was not done on time, violating 2 CFR 92.504(d).
  • Impacted Requirements: Annual financial reviews for rental projects with 10 or more units were not completed as required.
  • Recommended Follow-Up: Management should establish policies to ensure timely completion of monitoring procedures.

Finding Text

Condition During our audit, we examined six haphazardly selected subrecipient monitoring reports and identified one subrecipient for which the financial review portion of their subrecipient monitoring was not performed timely. Criteria 2 CFR 92.504(d) requires a financial review to be performed at least annually for rental projects with 10 or more units. Effect Failure to perform reviews timely may result in subrecipients misusing or mismanaging program funds. Cause Due to significant staffing turnover and COVID 19 pandemic restrictions, the City was unable to perform timely reviews and complete the monitoring reports. Recommendation Management should create policies and procedures to ensure required monitoring procedures are performed and completed timely.
