DEPARTMENT RECOMMENDATION
Receive and file the Single Audit Addendum Letters No. 1 and No. 2 - June 30, 2015, and the Revised California Department of Community Services and Development (CSD) Program Specific Audit Report performed by Gallina, LLP, related to grants awarded to the Health and Human Services Agency.
DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND
On June 23, 2015, the Board authorized the retention of Gallina LLP, an independent certified public accounting firm, in accordance with CA Government Code 25250, to perform audits of the County's financial accounts for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015. The audit reports completed, presented to the Annual Audit Committee, and the Board of Supervisors received and filed them on June 14, 2016. The reports are posted on the County's website, under the Auditor-Controller Department.
After completion of the audits, CSD notified HHSA that the contract numbers recorded in the single audit were not accurate. Additionally, upon reviewing the final grant reports, HHSA identifed that expenditures under the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) had been over-reported by approximately $50,000. HHSA notified the Auditor-Controller and worked with CSD and Gallina to correct both issues. Gallina issued two separate addendum letters and revised audit report to incorporate the changes. All reports have been provided to CSD. HHSA has the $50,000 in fund balance in the LIHEAP account and will remit it to the state as required. The letters and revised audit will be posted to the County's website under the Auditor-Controller's Department.
