Finding Text

Department of Treasury, Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Relief Recover Funds Federal Financial Assistance Listing # 21.027, All Awards Compliance Requirement: Reporting Type of Finding: Significant Deficiency in Internal Controls Over Compliance Criteria: Internal control procedures should ensure all required reports are reviewed prior to submission. Condition: For one report submitted, there was no formal documentation of the review prior to submission. Cause: The Organization has designed internal controls over these areas; however, the controls were not formally documented and the controls failed to identify errors in reporting. Effect: The condition may affect the Organization’s ability to support compliance with reporting requirements. Questioned Costs: None reported. Context/Sampling: A nonstatistical sample of nine reports out of 36 were selected for testing. One report did not include documentation of the review prior to submission. Repeat Finding from Prior Years: No Recommendation: We recommend the procedures related to reporting be reviewed with applicable program employees to ensure the control process is properly supported and the documentation is retained. Views of Responsible Officials: Management is in agreement with this finding.

Going forward, the Executive Director will have the Associate Director or Business Director review any Executive Director prepared reports.
