Assistance Listing No.: 14.267 Continuum of Care Program, 16.575 Crime Victims Assistance
Condition: The Organization did not prepare a complete Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards
that was able to be verified and tied to the trial balance.
Criteria: The Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards ("SEFA") is required under federal
regulations to be prepared by the Auditee by funding organization when spending $750,000
or more in federal funds.
Questioned Costs There are no questioned costs.
Cause: The Organization did not have sufficient controls over the tracking of federal and state
expenditures and reconciliations to the general ledger.
Effect: The Organization could have expenditures reported on the SEFA that should not be or ones
that should have been reported but were not reported on the SEFA.
Perspective This is a systemic issue in that controls over the requirement have not been developed to
ensure no issues arise
Repeat Finding: This is a repeat finding. See finding 2022-014.
Recommendation: In order to prevent future occurrences of this deficiency, we recommend that management
develop a method to track federal grant funds and the use of those funds and reconcile both to
the general ledger.
Auditee's Response: The Organization agrees with the finding. See attached corrective action plan.

2023-013 Matching, Level of Effort, Earmarking
Assistance Listing No.: 14.267 Continuum of Care Program (“CoC’)
Condition: The Organization was unable to demonstrate controls over the matching and earmarking
requirements.
Criteria: The recipient or subrecipient must match all grant funds, except for leasing funds, with no
less than 25 percent of cash or in-kind contributions from other sources. For CoC geographic
areas in which there is more than one grant agreement, the 25 percent match must be provided
on a grant-by-grant basis. Recipients that are a UFA or are the sole recipient for their
Continuum may provide match on a Continuum-wide basis (24 CFR section 578.73(a)).No more than 10 percent of any grant awarded may be used for paying costs of administering the assistance. Administrative costs include the costs associated with general management oversight, and coordination, training on the CoC program requirements, and environmental review. Administrative costs do not include costs for CoC planning activities and UFA cost (24 CRR section 578.59).
Questioned Costs There are no questioned costs.

2023-013 Matching, Level of Effort, Earmarking
Assistance Listing No.: 14.267 Continuum of Care Program (“CoC’)
Condition: The Organization was unable to demonstrate controls over the matching and earmarking
requirements.
Criteria: The recipient or subrecipient must match all grant funds, except for leasing funds, with no
less than 25 percent of cash or in-kind contributions from other sources. For CoC geographic
areas in which there is more than one grant agreement, the 25 percent match must be provided
on a grant-by-grant basis. Recipients that are a UFA or are the sole recipient for their
Continuum may provide match on a Continuum-wide basis (24 CFR section 578.73(a)).No more than 10 percent of any grant awarded may be used for paying costs of administering the assistance. Administrative costs include the costs associated with general management oversight, and coordination, training on the CoC program requirements, and environmental review. Administrative costs do not include costs for CoC planning activities and UFA cost (24 CRR section 578.59).
Questioned Costs There are no questioned costs.
Cause: The Organization did not have sufficient controls to ensure that the matching and earmarking
requirements were met.
Effect: It is more likely that the Organization will not meet the percent matching requirements and
earmarking since there is no formal set of controls over the requirements.
Perspective: This is a systemic issue in that controls over the requirements have not been developed to
ensure the reported information is accurate
Repeat Finding: This is a repeat finding. See finding 2022-016.
Recommendation: In order to prevent future occurrences of this deficiency, we recommend that management
develop a set of controls to ensure that they are meeting 25% match and 10% earmarking
requirements.
Auditee's Response: The Organization agrees with the finding. See attached corrective action plan.
2023-014 Period of Performance
Assistance Listing No.: 14.267 Continuum of Care Program
Condition: The Organization was unable to demonstrate consistent controls over the period of
performance requirement.
Criteria: The requirements for the period of performance are contained in 2 CFR section 200.1
Definitions for “budget period,” “financial obligations,” “period of performance,” 2 CFR
section 200.308 (revision of budget and program plans), 2 CFR section 200.309

compliance with the period of performance requirement.
Repeat Finding: This is a repeat finding. See finding 2022-017.
Recommendation: In order to prevent future occurences of this deficiency, we recommend that management
expand controls to ensure that they are able to demonstrate that all expenses meet their
procurement policy.
Auditee's Response: The Organization agrees with the finding. See attached corrective action plan.
