Finding No: 2022-002
Program: Moving to Work, ALN 14.881
Compliance Requirement: Reporting (L)
Type of Finding: Noncompliance; Significant Deficiency
Condition:
During 2022, the Authority implemented an accounting system change to upgrade from a legacy accounting system.
During the new system implementation, the software provided made hard coding errors in mapping several of the
Authority’s program ledgers. This resulted in the Authority being unable to close the books correctly and in a timely
manner and submit the completed audit package to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse by the statutory deadline.
Criteria:
All entities receiving Federal funding in excess of $750,000 must submit all required data elements required by the
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse by no later than nine months following
the entity’s year end.
Cause:
The Authority implemented a new accounting system with an industry leading software provider and the provider
incorrectly implemented the system for several program ledgers.
Effect:
The Authority was unable to submit the required data collection form and audit by the required deadline.
Questioned Costs:
No questioned costs.
Recommendation:
No recommendation. The Authority implemented a new accounting system with an industry leading software provider
and the provider incorrectly implemented the system for several program ledgers. The Authority and software provider
worked for several months collectively to restate errors in several of the Authority’s program ledgers. The system
implementation has been corrected by the solution provider and all ledgers corrected. Upon completion of this the
Authority intends to immediately submit all required data components.
