Accept attached report regarding the Countywide Single Audit for the Fiscal Year Ending June 30, 2014 (also attached). |

Lisa Driscoll presented the Countywide Single Audit for the Fiscal Year Ending June 30, 2014. Mrs. Driscoll reminded the Committee that Board policy required the County Administrator to make an annual report to the Finance Committee on the current- and prior-year audit findings and recommendations that identifies what corrective action has been taken or is planned to be taken on each recommendation. Mrs. Driscoll reported that the 2014 report was a significant improvement over 2013 and that only one instance of significant deficiency in internal controls was identified; no instance of material weakness in internal control; and no instances of material weakness nor significant deficiency in internal control over compliance. The one noted instance in control was for the 'Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards Completeness'. The deficiency was identified in the Sheriff's Office SEFA reporting. As a corrective action, the Auditor-Controller added a signature line for review within departments, added additional countywide training on SEFA reporting; and now provide departments' a report of their prior year activity for review prior to the new years' submission. With these additional controls in place, the County is hopeful that the potential for error has been rectified. The Committee thanked Auditor staff present for their work on the issue and had no additional comments/questions. |
