Our examination was made in accordance with the prescribed auditing standards and
audit requirements set forth in the Department of Housing and Urban Development's
Audit Guide and Standards for Community Development Block Grant Recipients and,
accordingly, included such tests of the accounting records and such other auditing
procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.
In our opinion, the accompanying statements present fairly the disposition and status
of the Community Development funds at December 31, 1980, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis and the requirements
of HUD. Further, costs incurred are eligible under the Grant Agreement and are in
accordance with Federal Management Circular (FMC) 74-4.
We have also reviewed compliance and internal control matters in accordance with
the provisions of the Hun audit guide for the Community Development Block Grant
Program, and have included applicable comments on pages 11 to 14.

CO~~ENTS ON COHPLIANCE AND INTERNAL CONTROL
He have examined the Statements of Source and St;1tus of Funds ;:md the Statements of
Program Costs applicable to the Community Development Block Grant programs of the
City of Salina, Kansas, for the period ended December 31, 1980, and have issued our
report thereon dated February 26, 1981. As a part of our examination, we reviewed
and tested the City's system of internal accounting control to the extent we con-
sidered necessary to evaluate the system as required by generally accepted auditing
standards. Under these standards, the purpose of such evaluation is i~O establish
a basis for reliance thereon in determining the nature, timing, and extent of other
auditing procedures that are necessary for expressing an opinion on the financial
statements. Additionally, our examination included procedures necessary in our
judgment to determine compliance with regulations, policies, and procedures pre-
scribed by HUD, insofar as such compliance review was necessary under the provisions
set forth in Paragraph 31 of the HUD Audit Guide for Community Development Block
Grant Recipients, dated May, 1976.
The objective of internal accounting control is to provide reasonable, but not ab-
solute, assurance as to the safeguarding of assets against loss from unauthorized
use or disposition, and the reliability of financial records for preparing financial
statements and maintaining accountability for assets. The concept of reasonable
assurance recognizes that the cost of a system of internal accounting control should
not exceed the benefits derived and also recognizes that the evaluation of these
factors necessarily requires estimates and judgments by management.
There are inherent limitations that should be recognized in considering the potential
effectiveness of any system of internal accounting control. In the performance of
most control procedures, errors can result from misunderstanding of instructions,
mistakes of judgment, carelessness, or other personal factors. Control procedures
whose effectiveness depends upon segregation of duties can be circumvented by
collusion. Similarly, control procedures can be circumvented intentionally by man-
agement with respect either to the execution and recording of transactions or with
respect to the estimates and judgments required in the preparation of financial
statements. Further, projection of any evaluation of internal accounting control
to future periods is subject to the risk that the procedures may not be adequate
because of changes in conditions, and that the degree of compliance with the pro-
cedures may deteriorate.
Based on our study and evaluation of the City's system of internal accounting con-
trol and our review of its compliance with various statutes and regulations, as pre-
scribed in Paragraph 31 of the HUD Audit Guide for Community Development Block Grant
Recipients, the City has, in our opinion, complied ,vith HUD' s statutory and regula-
tory requirements except for those conditions described in the "Findings and Recom-
mendations" section on the following pages.
FINDINGS AND RECO~frlENDATIONS
Finding - The City has not reported all program income or reduced amounts requested
for payment on Form TFS 7578 by all program income received.
-12-
Condition - We found the City had not reported $1,000 program income from the sale
of land acquired in connection with the relocation of a family.
Criteria - United States Treasury and HUD policies require the reporting of program
income.
Effect - The status of Federal funds on Form TFS 7578 is understated by program
income in the amount of $1,000, "hich had not been appli_ed as a reduction
of reimbursable program costs.
Cause - Proceeds from the sale of real estate purchased under the City's relocation
program was overlooked in determining the status of Federal funds and re-
quests for payments.
Recommendation - We recommend the City correct the status of their Federal funds by
including the unreported program income on their next request for
payment and reduce their next request for payment by the amount of
program income received ",hich has not been used to reduce a prior
payment request.
Grantee's Response - The City will correct the next request for payment by including
all program income not reported and reduce the next request for
payment to correctly report program income as a reduction of the
reimbursable amount.
ALLOCATION OF INDIRECT COSTS
Indirect costs were not allocated to the CDBG program during the period under review.
OTHER COl-!}1ENT S
REHABILITATION LOAN AND GRANT PROGRfu~S
Funds totaling $200,000 applied to the rehabilitation loan and grant programs for
1975 and 1976 were deposited in a separate savings account for the purpose of making
loans and grants to qualified individuals. The composition of the assets available
at December 31, 1980, for future loans and grants .LS shmm below.

Total

The total amount available exceeds the $200,000 originally deposited because interest
received on the savings account and loans has been redeposited for use in the pro-
gram as sho\m in the following schedule for the year 1980.

The City granted twenty-seven loans totaling $21,239 during the year ended December
31, 1980 and received loan repayments totaling $16,630.
Interest received and loan repayments totaling $38,994 through December 31, 1979,
were previously considered program income and included with authorized costs for
rehabilitation loans and grants in program year 1978; however, to clarify the pres-
entation of authorized costs interest and loan repayments have been eliminated from
authorized costs for 1980 and accounted for as changes in the separate savings
account as explained above. Program income in the amount of $89,616 from the sale
of land received upon dissolution of the City's urban renewal program and other
program income has been added to authorized costs in accordance with HUD policy.
ESCROH CHECKING ACCOUNT
An escrow checking account maintained to provide funds for payment of rehabilitation
and winterization work completed by contractors is not being reconciled on a monthly
basis. We recommend reconciliation of the account monthly.
C~IULATIVE EXPENDITURES
Certain reclassifications in the amounts shmm as cumulative expenditures at December
31, 1979 have been made to reflect changes in the use of funds available.
