End
Overview
Overview
As required by Federal and State granting agencies, any fiscal year the Village expends $750,000 or more in Federal grant proceeds (which either originate directly from the Federal government or are distributed as a pass-through from the State or County government), a single audit is required. The Single Audit was performed by Sikich LLP at the same time the regular financial audit was completed and must be filed 30 days after the Single Audit is received from the auditor or nine months after fiscal year-end (which would be September 30, 2021), whichever occurs first. The 2021 Single Audit will be officially filed with the Federal Clearinghouse as required.

Fiscal Impact
None
Background
The single audit consists of both compliance testing (internal controls) and a financial report. Per the Sikich single audit report, no material weaknesses or significant deficiencies were noted in the 2021 Single Audit report and the Village has been categorized as a low-risk auditee (refer to page 10 of the single audit report). Pages 6 through 8 of the report provide the Village's expenditures of Federal grant proceeds during the fiscal year which totaled $13,206,641, of which, $548,379 had been provided to various sub-recipients.
Please note that since the Village is classified as an "entitlement" community for HUD purposes, the amount of Federal proceeds received and expended is expected to exceed the annual $750,000 threshold each year and therefore, an annual single audit will continue to be required as long as no changes are made by the Federal government to this threshold level.
Alternatives
The Board could defer acceptance to a later date.
