Aging: Recurring Less severe Noncompliance
Federal Program Issue First Year Reported
Department's Assertion Page Number
Nutrition Services Incentive Program Aging lacks adequate policies and procedures to provide reasonable assurance that the Financial Status Report and Administration on Aging Supplemental Form (SF-269) and the Federal Cash Transaction Report (PSC-272) it submits to the federal government include all activities, are supported by accounting records, and are fairly presented. Aging does not have an official written policy that establishes responsibility for reporting, provides the procedures for periodic monitoring of due dates, and verifies the report content. We noted various errors on the SF-269 and PSC-272 reports since the information reported did not agree with the departments accounting records. 2006-07
Fully corrected. Aging has developed written procedures to ensure the SF-269s and PSC-272s are accurate, tied to accounting documents, have appropriate levels of review, and are submitted timely. Aging has devoted extensive time into determining the source of the errors identified in the audit and has corrected and resubmitted reports. New templates and procedures have been created to prevent future errors. 128

Partially corrected. The procedures were immediately updated to be consistent with Aging’s current methodology and to avoid potential confusion and error. The only corrective action remaining is for Aging to issue a refresher Program Memo to area agencies on aging (AAAs). Aging knows that AAAs understand the methodology but wants to ensure the methodology is clearly conveyed in writing. 156
