1N RE: RECRUITMENT OF SUBRECIPIENT DOCUMENTATION AND/OR IN-KIND COST FOR AUDIT RESOLUTION
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentiemen:
WHEREAS the Oakland County Board of Commissioners by Miscellaneous Resolution Numbers
6546 and 8883 applied for and was granted the designation as Prime Sponsor by the United States
Department of Labor to administer the provisions of the Comprehensive Employment and Training Act
of 1973 and the Comprehensive Employment and Training Act Amendments of 1978; and
WHEREAS audit requirements for previous fiscal years and the phase-out of all Public
Service Employment (PSE) programs under Titles 11-D and VI effective September 30, 1981, has
caused a substantial increase in our inventory of subrecipient audit reports to be resolved by
the Prime Sponsor (Attachment A); and
WHEREAS the phase-out of Public Service Employment (PSE) programs has accelerated the
audit process which has expanded our backlog of subrecipient audit reports that must be resolved
due to the financial liability to the County of Oakland; and
WHEREAS the January, 1981 Master Summary of Questioned Costs was $3.7 million which
equalled 227 audits, and the June, 1981 Master Summary of Questioned Costs identifies $5.4 million
which equal 281 audits, which reflects a 1/3 increase in a six (6) month period; and
WHEREAS the questioned costs of $5.4 million is similar to the Prime Sponsor Audit
(July 1, 1974 through September 30, 1577) which was resolved, and does not represent fraud and
abuse, but the issue of adequate documentation (Attachment B); and
WHEREAS Region V CETA Letter Number 81-27 dated March 17, 1981, and Change Number
dated April 6, 1981, granted Prime Sponsors authority to carry into FY-82 administrative funds for
close out purposes (Attachment C).
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners approve the
solicitation of bids for the procurement of Certified Public Accounting services to recruit adequate
documentation and/or in-kind costs in order to resolve our current inventory of questioned costs
(Attachment D).
Mr. Chairperson, on behalf of the Public Services Committee, I move the adoption of the
foregoing resolution.
