FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS, AND RECOMMENDATIONS INADQUATE CONTROLS OVER ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE The Governor’s Office of Management and Budget (Office) did not have adequate controls over accounts receivable billing and reporting. During our testing of accounts receivable, we noted the following: • The Office’s Grant Accountability and Transparency Act/Budgeting for Results billings for the fourth quarter of Fiscal Years 2020 and 2021 totaling $1,419,316 and $1,435,901, respectively, were not sent to State agencies until August 2020 and 2021, respectively, and these billings were not included in the Form C-97 and Form C-98 submitted to the Comptroller. This resulted in an understatement of reported accounts receivable as of June 30, 2020 and 2021 in relation to this quarter billing. • The Office had receivable balances for 115 State agencies as of Fiscal Years 2020 and 2021. We tested 19 receivable accounts for the two fiscal years and noted for seven (37%) samples tested, agency payments near year-end were not applied in the proper fiscal year resulting in an overstatement in the accounts receivable balance totaling $10,185 and $16,085 for Fiscal Years 2020 and 2021, respectively. (Finding 1, pages 9-10) We recommended the Office implement the necessary internal controls to consistently and accurately report accounts receivable. Office officials accepted the recommendation. OTHER FINDING The remaining finding pertains to noncompliance with provisions of the Grant Accountability and Transparency Act regarding program specific exceptions and exemptions. We will review the Office’s progress towards the implementation of our recommendations in our next compliance examination.
