What We Looked At
We reviewed the City of Columbus’s single audit report for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2017, in order to identify findings that affect directly awarded Department of Transportation programs. An independent auditor prepared the single audit report, dated October 11, 2018. 

What We Found
We found that the report contained activities allowed or unallowed; allowable costs/cost principles; and matching, level of effort, earmarking findings that needs prompt action from the Federal Transit Administration’s (FTA) management. 

Recommendations
We recommend that FTA ensures that the City complies with the activities allowed or unallowed; allowable costs/cost principles; and matching, level of effort, earmarking requirements. We also recommend that FTA recovers $156,981 from the City, if applicable.
