Comptroller: county progress on grants management but key recommendations still open
Summary
The Comptroller's Office reported ongoing progress on a grants management audit but said nine recommendations remain open; two (items 8 and 9) are close to closure and federal Uniform Guidance changes are being monitored.
Jennifer Folliard presented the Audit Committee with a status update on the County's grants-management audit, which originally found unclear post-award roles and missing comprehensive grant financial guidance. "As the report title suggests, we found that the county did not have clearly defined roles and responsibilities for post grant award financial management," Folliard said. The audit included 14 recommendations; at the prior follow-up nine remained open and at this update those nine remained open though many are "on track for implementation later this year," she said.
Folliard flagged that recommendations 8 and 9 were "right on the cusp of being closed" and that the comptroller's office and administration were monitoring anticipated federal changes to Uniform Guidance that could affect final procedures. Vice chair Loxton and other supervisors asked about the county's grants-module rollout and which items were closest to completion; Folliard said the comptroller central office is deploying a grants module that should improve tracking once completed. The comptroller's office will return with another status update in January.
