  14. Finding 12-1 Condition: Accounts payable needed to be adjusted for several unrecorded invoices related to 2012. Additionally, several capital items were not included on the Tribe’s depreciation schedule. It should be noted that while correcting entries were required, substantial progress has been made by the Tribes compared to the past years. Recommendation: General ledger accounts should be reconciled to subsidiary ledgers and supporting documentation each month. All accounting transactions should be entered into the system timely and reviewed by an appropriate level of management. This review process would ensure completeness and accuracy and thereby enhance the control system in the accounting department. Financial Statement Findings

  15. Finding 12-2 Condition: Per inquiry and review of controls and procedures relating to credit card purchases we noted numerous instances where payments were made prior to the submission of receipts and other supporting documentation. Recommendation: We recommend that the established policies and procedures regarding credit card purchases be strictly followed. Any unsupported charges should be considered personal in nature by the individual incurring the expense and immediately reimbursed. Financial Statement Findings

  16. Finding 12-3 Condition: Per inquiry and review of controls and procedures relating to fuel/gas card purchases we noted numerous instances where it appears abuse may have occurred, supporting documentation for all fuel purchases was not readily available to determine proprietary and/or need or charge for fuel. Recommendation: We recommend that the established policies and procedures regarding fuel/gas card purchases be strictly followed. Any unsupported charges should be considered personal in nature by the individual incurring the expense and immediately reimbursed. Financial Statement Findings

  17. Finding 12-4 Condition: Davis-Bacon requires federally-funded contractors to pay their employees prevailing wages as established by the DOL. The Tribe is required to monitor this requirement by reviewing certified payroll records from the contractor. Several contractors tested were found to have not been reviewed. Recommendation: We recommend that the Tribes identify those contractors working under federal contracts and develop procedures to ensure that payroll records are requested and reviewed. Federal Award Findings
