The Single Audit Report was prepared by KPMG Peat Marwick as part of the Council's overall audit contract. The Single Audit Report is prepared for federal awarded programs to meet reporting and auditing requirements. Specifically, subrecipients in receipt of a minimum threshold amount of funds are audited for the purpose of identifying material weakness of internal controls and testing compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts and grants, which could have a direct and material effect on the financial statement amounts. A list of all county programs that have received federal funds can be found on pages 7 -15 ( "Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards "). Another separate memorandum dated December 8, 1998, from Controller Dixie Kaetsu submitting a "Corrective Action Plan" and a "Summary Schedule of Prior Audit Findings" should be kept with the Single Audit Report. The auditors found that their testing disclosed no instances of noncompliance that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards. The auditors also noted no matters involving the internal control over financial reporting and its operation that would be considered to be material weaknesses. Additionally, the auditors found that the County complied, in all material respects, with the audit requirements applicable to each of its major federal programs.

Dixie Kaetsu Controller Attachments O 0 4 CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN Department of Housing and Urban Development Community Development Block Grant/Small Cities Program Finding 98 -01 Requests for Reimbursements Recommendation: All requests for reimbursements should be processed after actual costs are paid by the program. Administration's Comment: The County disagrees with this finding and recommendation. Part 85.21c of the Federal Register, Administrative Requirements for Grants and Cooperative Agreements to State, Local and Federally Recognized Indian Tribal Governments, allows advances as long as procedures are maintained to minimize the time elapsing between the transfer of funds and their disbursement. 31 CFR Part 205.7 states that the County shall request funds not more than three business days prior to the day on which it makes a disbursement of CDBG funds. The HOME Program requires HOME funds to be disbursed within fifteen days of receipt from the US Treasury. Anticipated Completion Date: Not applicable. Contact Person: Edwin S. Taira, Assistant Housing Administrator Office of Housing and Community Development Finding 98 -02 Procurement Recommendation: We recommend that the County exercise greater care in ensuring that all procurement documentation is properly maintained. Administration's Comment: The County has complied and will continue to comply with the State of Hawaii Procurement Code. In the incident cited in this finding, the Department of Parks and Recreation asked that the Office of Housing and Community Development (OHCD) execute a design contract for a block grant project. In accordance with the legal requirements of the procurement code, a design consultant was selected by the Department of Public Works. Unfortunately, the OHCD was informed that the consultant selection documentation was misplaced during the transfer of documents between County departments. The chair of the selection committee has signed an affidavit certifying that the selection process was conducted in compliance with the procurement code. The County realizes that proper documentation is essential, and will work to ensure that such documentation is included in all files. Anticipated Completion Date: This will continue to be an ongoing effort. Contact Person: Edwin S. Taira, Assistant Housing Administrator Office of Housing and Community Development O 0 • a 6- , ' Finding 98 -03 Personnel Activity Reports Recommendation: We recommend that the County print hard copies of personnel activity reports and implement a policy to have employees sign the personnel activity reports. Administration's Comment: Employees have been printing hard copies of their personnel activity reports. Effective immediately, employees will be required to sign the hard copy to evidence their approval of actual time worked on federal programs. In addition, each employee has signed and verified the personnel activity reports for the audit period. Anticipated Completion Date: The change in procedure has already been implemented.

Contact Person: Edwin S.

The Division should require that it be provided with a copy of the appropriate certification(s) as part of the proper monthly progress billing. Administration's Comment: The Division is of the opinion that the current practice of having the construction management consultants (CM) for each project maintain the required paperwork is adequate. The CM provides an affidavit each month that the certified payroll o O 0 • a • , records are in its possession. The CM serves as the County's agent and holds all records during the course of the project. At the end of the job, all records are physically transferred to the County. During the upcoming year, the Division will periodically inspect the payroll records in the CM's possession to ensure compliance. Anticipated Completion Date: Periodic inspections of records in the possession of the CM will begin during the 1998 -99 fiscal year. Contact Person: Peter Boucher Wastewater Division Chief Department of Housing and Urban Development Section 8 Rental Voucher Program Finding 98 -06 Housing Assistance Payments Recommendation: We recommend that the rental assistance amount be corrected on the contract and that the county exercise greater care in monitoring and reviewing contracts. Administration's Comment: The contract with the incorrect rental assistance amount has been corrected as of August 10, 1998. In spite of the incorrect amount recorded in the contract, payments to the landlord were correct during the entire time that the error in the contract was not corrected. Staff have been reminded of the importance of accuracy in preparation of contracts. Anticipated Completion Date: Correction has been made as of August 10, 1998. Contact Person: Edwin S. Taira, Assistant Housing Administrator Office of Housing and Community Development Finding 98 -07 Overpayment of Housing Assistance Payment Recommendation: We recommend that the County take immediate action to recover the identified housing assistance overpayment.

Anticipated Completion Date: Repayment will be completed in October, 2000. Contact Person: Edwin S. Taira, Assistant Housing Administrator Office of Housing and Community Development O O SUMMARY SCHEDULE OF PRIOR AUDIT FINDINGS Department of Housing and Urban Development Section 8 Rental Voucher Program Finding 97 -1: Out of 45 files that the auditors examined for the County's Housing Voucher Program, eight files contained documentation or computational errors. Corrective action taken: Section 8 supervisors are continuing to audit, on a test basis, case files prepared by case managers to assure the accuracy of the documentation.

Taira, Assistant Housing Administrator Office of Housing and Community Development Environmental Protection Agency Capitalization Grants for State Revolving Funds Finding 97 -2: Requests for reimbursements for the SRF wastewater projects are prepared prior to the actual payments being disbursed to contractors. Also, the Wastewater Division does not monitor that the funds are at least disbursed before the requested funds from the federal government are received. Corrective action taken: Upon consultation with the State Department of Health (DOH), it was determined that under the terms of the loan agreements with the DOH, the County is permitted to request reimbursement prior to actual disbursement of funds to contractors. No further action has been or will be taken. Contact Person: Peter Boucher, Division Chief Wastewater Division Environmental Protection Agency Capitalization Grants for State Revolving Funds And Department of Agriculture Water/Wastewater Disposal System for Rural Communities Finding 97 -3: The payroll certifications regarding compliance with the Davis -Bacon Act requirements are not consistently maintained by the County.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller rl General of the United States. Compliance r As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the County's general purpose financial statements are free of material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts and grants, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the determination of financial statement amounts. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit, and accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards. However, noted certain immaterial instances of noncompliance, which we have reported to management of the County in a separate letter dated October 23, 1998. Internal Control Over Financial Reporting In planning and performing our audit, we considered the County's internal control over financial reporting in order to determine our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the general purpose financial statements and not to provide assurance on the internal control over financial reporting. Our consideration of the intemal control over financial reporting would not necessarily disclose all matters in the internal control over financial reporting that might be material weaknesses. A material weakness is a condition in which the design or operation of one or more of the internal control components does not reduce to a relatively low level the risk that misstatements in amounts that would be material in relation to 3 nnnn .Pm F m 0 0 d , the general purpose financial statements being audited may occur and not be detected within a timely period by employees in the normal course of performing their assigned functions. We noted no matters involving the internal control over financial reporting and its operation that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, we noted other matters involving the internal control over financial reporting, which we have reported to management of the County in a separate letter dated October 23, 1998. r This report is intended solely for the information and use of the County Administration, County Council and federal awarding agencies and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties. r / S9 c air Honolulu, Hawaii r October 23, 1998 n J J J D 1 a 4 0 0 • J SECTION III - COMPLIANCE AND INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FEDERAL AWARDS 1 J n J r C r. 0 n nn O O �� PMG Peat Marwick ALP P 0 Box 4150 Honolulu, HI 96812 -4150 — J Report on Compliance with Requirements Applicable to Each Major Program and Internal Control Over Compliance in Accordance with OMB Circular A -133 To the Members of the County Council of Hawaii County of Hawaii Hilo, Hawaii Compliance We have audited the compliance of the County of Hawaii, State of Hawaii (County), with the types of compliance requirements described in the US.

The County's major federal programs are identified in the summary of auditor's results t- section of the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs. Compliance with the requirements of laws, regulations, contracts and grants applicable to each of its major federal programs is D the responsibility of the County's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the County's compliance based on our audit. r We conducted our audit of compliance in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards; the _ standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States; and OMB Circular A -133, Audits of States, Local Governments, and Non - Profit Or Those standards and OMB Circular A -133 require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether noncompliance with the types of compliance requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on a major federal program occurred. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence about the County's compliance with those requirements and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Our audit does not provide a legal determination on the County's compliance with those requirements. In our opinion, the County complied, in all material respects, with the requirements referred to above that are applicable to each of its major federal programs for the year ended June 30, 1998. However, the results of our auditing procedures disclosed instances of noncompliance with those requirements, which are required to be reported in accordance with OMB Circular A -133 and which are described in the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs as items 98 -01 to 98 -07. -J 5 nnnn ,F Fm dl, � . 0 0 Internal Control Over Compliance The management of the County is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over compliance with requirements of laws, regulations, contracts and grants applicable to federal programs.
