Our sample was selected using a random methodology, rather than a statistical sampling methodology, from the 50 item population. Cause: The finding and material weakness is due to the controls not designed properly to ensure an inventory was being performed every two years. Repeat finding: Yes Effect: Noncompliance to the requirement that equipment purchased with federal funds be inventoried at least once every two years, as well as a disposal not being recorded in the correct period. Questioned costs: None noted. Recommendation: We recommend the Organization design and implement controls to ensure that all equipment purchased with federal funds is tagged and inventoried every two years. In addition, the Organization should maintain documentation of when the inventory takes place and have procedures in place to track and record any new additions or disposals on a timely basis. Views of responsible officials and planned corrective actions: Management agrees with the assessment and understands the importance of regular physical inventories. The Organization has designed and implemented controls to ensure that all equipment purchased with federal funds is tagged and inventoried every two years. The process includes documentation of when the inventory takes place as well as procedures to ensure all additions and disposals are tracked and recorded on a timely basis.

Financial and performance information should be reviewed by a different person than the preparer, supporting documentation should be maintained, and reports filed timely. Condition and context: Supporting documentation was not maintained and as such, did not include documentation of a review process or filing could not be verified for timely submission. We noted two of the six reports selected; monthly performance report support was not retained by the client. As well as, two of six reports were selected, legal assistance summary reports were not remitted to the granting agency and as such, no support was maintained. Questioned costs: None. Effect: Without centralized controls that include monitoring of reporting due dates and retention of documentation supporting the amounts in the reports, reports are not submitted and are not properly supported. Cause: This occurred because of a lack of controls to segregate the duties between the preparer of the reports and supporting documentation and a reviewer to ensure accuracy, and timely reporting. Repeat finding: Yes.

To be an allowable cost, charges must be supported by appropriate documentation and be properly approved. Condition and context: During the period under audit, a new payroll system was implemented, and the employee portion of benefits had an allocation error for certain types of employee compensation.  WIOA Cluster (ALN 17.258, 17.259, 17.278) – For four of 25 employees selected, a portion of employee worker’s compensation was overcharged to the grant. For the sample tested, the known amount over charged to the grant was $24.  Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (ALN 21.027) – For two of 25 employees selected, a portion of employee benefits were overcharged to the grant. For the sample tested, the known amount over charged to the grant was $14.  Food Distribution Cluster (ALN 10.565, 10.568, 10.569) – For one of 25 employees selected, a portion of employee benefits were overcharged to the grant. For the sample tested, the known amount over charged to the grant was $2.  Aging Cluster (ALN 93.044, 93.045, 93.053) – For three of 25 employees selected, a portion of employee worker’s compensation was overcharged to the grant. For the sample tested, the known amount over charged to the grant was $9. Medicaid Cluster (ALN 93.778) – For one of 25 employees selected, a portion of employee worker’s compensation was overcharged to the grant. For the sample tested, the known amount over charged to the grant was $29.  Crime Victim Assistance (ALN 16.575) – For one of 25 employees selected, a portion of employee benefits were overcharged to the grant. For the sample tested, the known amount over charged to the grant was $7. Cause: A new payroll system was implemented, and all allocations of benefits were not reviewed in detail enough to catch the misallocation of a portion benefits for certain compensation types. Effect: Allocation of payroll related benefits were incorrectly applied to grants. Questioned costs: This resulted in the following questioned costs;  ALN 17.258, 17.259, 17.278 – Known questioned costs were $24 and projected costs were $1,087.  ALN 21.027 – Known questioned costs were $14 and projected costs were $153.  ALN 10.565, 10.568, 10.569 – Known questioned costs were $2 and projected costs were $13.  ALN 93.044, 93.045, 93.053 – Known questioned costs were $9 and projected costs were $303.  ALN 93.778 – Known questioned costs were $29 and projected costs were $491.  ALN 16.575 – Known questioned costs were $7 and projected costs were $262. Repeat finding: No. Recommendation: We recommend the Organization improve the controls over the payroll allocation process, including revisions to the current policy and procedure manual. The policy should clearly define allowable payroll costs, policies for allocation to grants, and outline adequate documentation for transactions. We additionally suggest a review at the employee level to ensure that allocations are accurate by pay period. Views of responsible officials and planned corrective actions: Management agrees with the assessment and understands the importance of strong controls surrounding payroll allocation. The Organization has worked hard to bring the new payroll so_x001F_ware in line with the complex requirements of grant accounting and at the time of this audit issuance the error has been resolved. The Organization will complete employee level reviews each payroll to ensure that salaries and benefits continue to be allocated accurately according to hours charged to programs. The Organization is in the process of revising the accounting policy manual with the full revision expected to be completed by December 2025. Individual policies will be submitted to the board for approval as they are revised.

Condition and context: During the period under audit, a new payroll system was implemented, and the employee portion of benefits had an allocation error for certain types of employee compensation.  WIOA Cluster (ALN 17.258, 17.259, 17.278) – For four of 25 employees selected, a portion of employee worker’s compensation was overcharged to the grant. For the sample tested, the known amount over charged to the grant was $24.  Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (ALN 21.027) – For two of 25 employees selected, a portion of employee benefits were overcharged to the grant. For the sample tested, the known amount over charged to the grant was $14.  Food Distribution Cluster (ALN 10.565, 10.568, 10.569) – For one of 25 employees selected, a portion of employee benefits were overcharged to the grant. For the sample tested, the known amount over charged to the grant was $2.  Aging Cluster (ALN 93.044, 93.045, 93.053) – For three of 25 employees selected, a portion of employee worker’s compensation was overcharged to the grant. For the sample tested, the known amount over charged to the grant was $9. Medicaid Cluster (ALN 93.778) – For one of 25 employees selected, a portion of employee worker’s compensation was overcharged to the grant. For the sample tested, the known amount over charged to the grant was $29.  Crime Victim Assistance (ALN 16.575) – For one of 25 employees selected, a portion of employee benefits were overcharged to the grant. For the sample tested, the known amount over charged to the grant was $7. Cause: A new payroll system was implemented, and all allocations of benefits were not reviewed in detail enough to catch the misallocation of a portion benefits for certain compensation types. Effect: Allocation of payroll related benefits were incorrectly applied to grants. Questioned costs: This resulted in the following questioned costs;  ALN 17.258, 17.259, 17.278 – Known questioned costs were $24 and projected costs were $1,087.  ALN 21.027 – Known questioned costs were $14 and projected costs were $153.  ALN 10.565, 10.568, 10.569 – Known questioned costs were $2 and projected costs were $13.  ALN 93.044, 93.045, 93.053 – Known questioned costs were $9 and projected costs were $303.  ALN 93.778 – Known questioned costs were $29 and projected costs were $491.  ALN 16.575 – Known questioned costs were $7 and projected costs were $262. Repeat finding: No. Recommendation: We recommend the Organization improve the controls over the payroll allocation process, including revisions to the current policy and procedure manual. The policy should clearly define allowable payroll costs, policies for allocation to grants, and outline adequate documentation for transactions. We additionally suggest a review at the employee level to ensure that allocations are accurate by pay period. Views of responsible officials and planned corrective actions: Management agrees with the assessment and understands the importance of strong controls surrounding payroll allocation. The Organization has worked hard to bring the new payroll so_x001F_ware in line with the complex requirements of grant accounting and at the time of this audit issuance the error has been resolved. The Organization will complete employee level reviews each payroll to ensure that salaries and benefits continue to be allocated accurately according to hours charged to programs. The Organization is in the process of revising the accounting policy manual with the full revision expected to be completed by December 2025. Individual policies will be submitted to the board for approval as they are revised.

For the sample tested, the known amount over charged to the grant was $14.  Food Distribution Cluster (ALN 10.565, 10.568, 10.569) – For one of 25 employees selected, a portion of employee benefits were overcharged to the grant. For the sample tested, the known amount over charged to the grant was $2.  Aging Cluster (ALN 93.044, 93.045, 93.053) – For three of 25 employees selected, a portion of employee worker’s compensation was overcharged to the grant. For the sample tested, the known amount over charged to the grant was $9. Medicaid Cluster (ALN 93.778) – For one of 25 employees selected, a portion of employee worker’s compensation was overcharged to the grant. For the sample tested, the known amount over charged to the grant was $29.  Crime Victim Assistance (ALN 16.575) – For one of 25 employees selected, a portion of employee benefits were overcharged to the grant. For the sample tested, the known amount over charged to the grant was $7. Cause: A new payroll system was implemented, and all allocations of benefits were not reviewed in detail enough to catch the misallocation of a portion benefits for certain compensation types. Effect: Allocation of payroll related benefits were incorrectly applied to grants. Questioned costs: This resulted in the following questioned costs;  ALN 17.258, 17.259, 17.278 – Known questioned costs were $24 and projected costs were $1,087.  ALN 21.027 – Known questioned costs were $14 and projected costs were $153.  ALN 10.565, 10.568, 10.569 – Known questioned costs were $2 and projected costs were $13.  ALN 93.044, 93.045, 93.053 – Known questioned costs were $9 and projected costs were $303.  ALN 93.778 – Known questioned costs were $29 and projected costs were $491.  ALN 16.575 – Known questioned costs were $7 and projected costs were $262. Repeat finding: No. Recommendation: We recommend the Organization improve the controls over the payroll allocation process, including revisions to the current policy and procedure manual. The policy should clearly define allowable payroll costs, policies for allocation to grants, and outline adequate documentation for transactions. We additionally suggest a review at the employee level to ensure that allocations are accurate by pay period. Views of responsible officials and planned corrective actions: Management agrees with the assessment and understands the importance of strong controls surrounding payroll allocation. The Organization has worked hard to bring the new payroll so_x001F_ware in line with the complex requirements of grant accounting and at the time of this audit issuance the error has been resolved. The Organization will complete employee level reviews each payroll to ensure that salaries and benefits continue to be allocated accurately according to hours charged to programs. The Organization is in the process of revising the accounting policy manual with the full revision expected to be completed by December 2025. Individual policies will be submitted to the board for approval as they are revised.

Questioned costs: This resulted in the following questioned costs;  ALN 17.258, 17.259, 17.278 – Known questioned costs were $24 and projected costs were $1,087.  ALN 21.027 – Known questioned costs were $14 and projected costs were $153.  ALN 10.565, 10.568, 10.569 – Known questioned costs were $2 and projected costs were $13.  ALN 93.044, 93.045, 93.053 – Known questioned costs were $9 and projected costs were $303.  ALN 93.778 – Known questioned costs were $29 and projected costs were $491.  ALN 16.575 – Known questioned costs were $7 and projected costs were $262. Repeat finding: No. Recommendation: We recommend the Organization improve the controls over the payroll allocation process, including revisions to the current policy and procedure manual. The policy should clearly define allowable payroll costs, policies for allocation to grants, and outline adequate documentation for transactions. We additionally suggest a review at the employee level to ensure that allocations are accurate by pay period. Views of responsible officials and planned corrective actions: Management agrees with the assessment and understands the importance of strong controls surrounding payroll allocation. The Organization has worked hard to bring the new payroll so_x001F_ware in line with the complex requirements of grant accounting and at the time of this audit issuance the error has been resolved. The Organization will complete employee level reviews each payroll to ensure that salaries and benefits continue to be allocated accurately according to hours charged to programs. The Organization is in the process of revising the accounting policy manual with the full revision expected to be completed by December 2025.

To be an allowable cost, charges must be supported by appropriate documentation and be properly approved. Condition and context: During the period under audit, a new payroll system was implemented, and the employee portion of benefits had an allocation error for certain types of employee compensation.  WIOA Cluster (ALN 17.258, 17.259, 17.278) – For four of 25 employees selected, a portion of employee worker’s compensation was overcharged to the grant. For the sample tested, the known amount over charged to the grant was $24.  Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (ALN 21.027) – For two of 25 employees selected, a portion of employee benefits were overcharged to the grant. For the sample tested, the known amount over charged to the grant was $14.  Food Distribution Cluster (ALN 10.565, 10.568, 10.569) – For one of 25 employees selected, a portion of employee benefits were overcharged to the grant. For the sample tested, the known amount over charged to the grant was $2.  Aging Cluster (ALN 93.044, 93.045, 93.053) – For three of 25 employees selected, a portion of employee worker’s compensation was overcharged to the grant. For the sample tested, the known amount over charged to the grant was $9. Medicaid Cluster (ALN 93.778) – For one of 25 employees selected, a portion of employee worker’s compensation was overcharged to the grant. For the sample tested, the known amount over charged to the grant was $29.  Crime Victim Assistance (ALN 16.575) – For one of 25 employees selected, a portion of employee benefits were overcharged to the grant. For the sample tested, the known amount over charged to the grant was $7. Cause: A new payroll system was implemented, and all allocations of benefits were not reviewed in detail enough to catch the misallocation of a portion benefits for certain compensation types. Effect: Allocation of payroll related benefits were incorrectly applied to grants. Questioned costs: This resulted in the following questioned costs;  ALN 17.258, 17.259, 17.278 – Known questioned costs were $24 and projected costs were $1,087.  ALN 21.027 – Known questioned costs were $14 and projected costs were $153.  ALN 10.565, 10.568, 10.569 – Known questioned costs were $2 and projected costs were $13.  ALN 93.044, 93.045, 93.053 – Known questioned costs were $9 and projected costs were $303.  ALN 93.778 – Known questioned costs were $29 and projected costs were $491.  ALN 16.575 – Known questioned costs were $7 and projected costs were $262. Repeat finding: No. Recommendation: We recommend the Organization improve the controls over the payroll allocation process, including revisions to the current policy and procedure manual. The policy should clearly define allowable payroll costs, policies for allocation to grants, and outline adequate documentation for transactions. We additionally suggest a review at the employee level to ensure that allocations are accurate by pay period. Views of responsible officials and planned corrective actions: Management agrees with the assessment and understands the importance of strong controls surrounding payroll allocation. The Organization has worked hard to bring the new payroll so_x001F_ware in line with the complex requirements of grant accounting and at the time of this audit issuance the error has been resolved. The Organization will complete employee level reviews each payroll to ensure that salaries and benefits continue to be allocated accurately according to hours charged to programs.

For the sample tested, the known amount over charged to the grant was $14.  Food Distribution Cluster (ALN 10.565, 10.568, 10.569) – For one of 25 employees selected, a portion of employee benefits were overcharged to the grant. For the sample tested, the known amount over charged to the grant was $2.  Aging Cluster (ALN 93.044, 93.045, 93.053) – For three of 25 employees selected, a portion of employee worker’s compensation was overcharged to the grant. For the sample tested, the known amount over charged to the grant was $9. Medicaid Cluster (ALN 93.778) – For one of 25 employees selected, a portion of employee worker’s compensation was overcharged to the grant. For the sample tested, the known amount over charged to the grant was $29.  Crime Victim Assistance (ALN 16.575) – For one of 25 employees selected, a portion of employee benefits were overcharged to the grant. For the sample tested, the known amount over charged to the grant was $7. Cause: A new payroll system was implemented, and all allocations of benefits were not reviewed in detail enough to catch the misallocation of a portion benefits for certain compensation types. Effect: Allocation of payroll related benefits were incorrectly applied to grants. Questioned costs: This resulted in the following questioned costs;  ALN 17.258, 17.259, 17.278 – Known questioned costs were $24 and projected costs were $1,087.  ALN 21.027 – Known questioned costs were $14 and projected costs were $153.  ALN 10.565, 10.568, 10.569 – Known questioned costs were $2 and projected costs were $13.  ALN 93.044, 93.045, 93.053 – Known questioned costs were $9 and projected costs were $303.  ALN 93.778 – Known questioned costs were $29 and projected costs were $491.  ALN 16.575 – Known questioned costs were $7 and projected costs were $262. Repeat finding: No. Recommendation: We recommend the Organization improve the controls over the payroll allocation process, including revisions to the current policy and procedure manual. The policy should clearly define allowable payroll costs, policies for allocation to grants, and outline adequate documentation for transactions. We additionally suggest a review at the employee level to ensure that allocations are accurate by pay period. Views of responsible officials and planned corrective actions: Management agrees with the assessment and understands the importance of strong controls surrounding payroll allocation. The Organization has worked hard to bring the new payroll so_x001F_ware in line with the complex requirements of grant accounting and at the time of this audit issuance the error has been resolved. The Organization will complete employee level reviews each payroll to ensure that salaries and benefits continue to be allocated accurately according to hours charged to programs. The Organization is in the process of revising the accounting policy manual with the full revision expected to be completed by December 2025. Individual policies will be submitted to the board for approval as they are revised.

Questioned costs: This resulted in the following questioned costs;  ALN 17.258, 17.259, 17.278 – Known questioned costs were $24 and projected costs were $1,087.  ALN 21.027 – Known questioned costs were $14 and projected costs were $153.  ALN 10.565, 10.568, 10.569 – Known questioned costs were $2 and projected costs were $13.  ALN 93.044, 93.045, 93.053 – Known questioned costs were $9 and projected costs were $303.  ALN 93.778 – Known questioned costs were $29 and projected costs were $491.  ALN 16.575 – Known questioned costs were $7 and projected costs were $262. Repeat finding: No. Recommendation: We recommend the Organization improve the controls over the payroll allocation process, including revisions to the current policy and procedure manual. The policy should clearly define allowable payroll costs, policies for allocation to grants, and outline adequate documentation for transactions. We additionally suggest a review at the employee level to ensure that allocations are accurate by pay period. Views of responsible officials and planned corrective actions: Management agrees with the assessment and understands the importance of strong controls surrounding payroll allocation. The Organization has worked hard to bring the new payroll so_x001F_ware in line with the complex requirements of grant accounting and at the time of this audit issuance the error has been resolved. The Organization will complete employee level reviews each payroll to ensure that salaries and benefits continue to be allocated accurately according to hours charged to programs. The Organization is in the process of revising the accounting policy manual with the full revision expected to be completed by December 2025.

To be an allowable cost, charges must be supported by appropriate documentation and be properly approved. Condition and context: During the period under audit, a new payroll system was implemented, and the employee portion of benefits had an allocation error for certain types of employee compensation.  WIOA Cluster (ALN 17.258, 17.259, 17.278) – For four of 25 employees selected, a portion of employee worker’s compensation was overcharged to the grant. For the sample tested, the known amount over charged to the grant was $24.  Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (ALN 21.027) – For two of 25 employees selected, a portion of employee benefits were overcharged to the grant. For the sample tested, the known amount over charged to the grant was $14.  Food Distribution Cluster (ALN 10.565, 10.568, 10.569) – For one of 25 employees selected, a portion of employee benefits were overcharged to the grant. For the sample tested, the known amount over charged to the grant was $2.  Aging Cluster (ALN 93.044, 93.045, 93.053) – For three of 25 employees selected, a portion of employee worker’s compensation was overcharged to the grant. For the sample tested, the known amount over charged to the grant was $9. Medicaid Cluster (ALN 93.778) – For one of 25 employees selected, a portion of employee worker’s compensation was overcharged to the grant. For the sample tested, the known amount over charged to the grant was $29.  Crime Victim Assistance (ALN 16.575) – For one of 25 employees selected, a portion of employee benefits were overcharged to the grant. For the sample tested, the known amount over charged to the grant was $7. Cause: A new payroll system was implemented, and all allocations of benefits were not reviewed in detail enough to catch the misallocation of a portion benefits for certain compensation types. Effect: Allocation of payroll related benefits were incorrectly applied to grants. Questioned costs: This resulted in the following questioned costs;  ALN 17.258, 17.259, 17.278 – Known questioned costs were $24 and projected costs were $1,087.  ALN 21.027 – Known questioned costs were $14 and projected costs were $153.  ALN 10.565, 10.568, 10.569 – Known questioned costs were $2 and projected costs were $13.  ALN 93.044, 93.045, 93.053 – Known questioned costs were $9 and projected costs were $303.  ALN 93.778 – Known questioned costs were $29 and projected costs were $491.  ALN 16.575 – Known questioned costs were $7 and projected costs were $262. Repeat finding: No. Recommendation: We recommend the Organization improve the controls over the payroll allocation process, including revisions to the current policy and procedure manual. The policy should clearly define allowable payroll costs, policies for allocation to grants, and outline adequate documentation for transactions. We additionally suggest a review at the employee level to ensure that allocations are accurate by pay period. Views of responsible officials and planned corrective actions: Management agrees with the assessment and understands the importance of strong controls surrounding payroll allocation. The Organization has worked hard to bring the new payroll so_x001F_ware in line with the complex requirements of grant accounting and at the time of this audit issuance the error has been resolved. The Organization will complete employee level reviews each payroll to ensure that salaries and benefits continue to be allocated accurately according to hours charged to programs.

For the sample tested, the known amount over charged to the grant was $14.  Food Distribution Cluster (ALN 10.565, 10.568, 10.569) – For one of 25 employees selected, a portion of employee benefits were overcharged to the grant. For the sample tested, the known amount over charged to the grant was $2.  Aging Cluster (ALN 93.044, 93.045, 93.053) – For three of 25 employees selected, a portion of employee worker’s compensation was overcharged to the grant. For the sample tested, the known amount over charged to the grant was $9. Medicaid Cluster (ALN 93.778) – For one of 25 employees selected, a portion of employee worker’s compensation was overcharged to the grant. For the sample tested, the known amount over charged to the grant was $29.  Crime Victim Assistance (ALN 16.575) – For one of 25 employees selected, a portion of employee benefits were overcharged to the grant. For the sample tested, the known amount over charged to the grant was $7. Cause: A new payroll system was implemented, and all allocations of benefits were not reviewed in detail enough to catch the misallocation of a portion benefits for certain compensation types. Effect: Allocation of payroll related benefits were incorrectly applied to grants. Questioned costs: This resulted in the following questioned costs;  ALN 17.258, 17.259, 17.278 – Known questioned costs were $24 and projected costs were $1,087.  ALN 21.027 – Known questioned costs were $14 and projected costs were $153.  ALN 10.565, 10.568, 10.569 – Known questioned costs were $2 and projected costs were $13.  ALN 93.044, 93.045, 93.053 – Known questioned costs were $9 and projected costs were $303.  ALN 93.778 – Known questioned costs were $29 and projected costs were $491.  ALN 16.575 – Known questioned costs were $7 and projected costs were $262. Repeat finding: No. Recommendation: We recommend the Organization improve the controls over the payroll allocation process, including revisions to the current policy and procedure manual. The policy should clearly define allowable payroll costs, policies for allocation to grants, and outline adequate documentation for transactions. We additionally suggest a review at the employee level to ensure that allocations are accurate by pay period. Views of responsible officials and planned corrective actions: Management agrees with the assessment and understands the importance of strong controls surrounding payroll allocation. The Organization has worked hard to bring the new payroll so_x001F_ware in line with the complex requirements of grant accounting and at the time of this audit issuance the error has been resolved. The Organization will complete employee level reviews each payroll to ensure that salaries and benefits continue to be allocated accurately according to hours charged to programs. The Organization is in the process of revising the accounting policy manual with the full revision expected to be completed by December 2025. Individual policies will be submitted to the board for approval as they are revised.

Questioned costs: This resulted in the following questioned costs;  ALN 17.258, 17.259, 17.278 – Known questioned costs were $24 and projected costs were $1,087.  ALN 21.027 – Known questioned costs were $14 and projected costs were $153.  ALN 10.565, 10.568, 10.569 – Known questioned costs were $2 and projected costs were $13.  ALN 93.044, 93.045, 93.053 – Known questioned costs were $9 and projected costs were $303.  ALN 93.778 – Known questioned costs were $29 and projected costs were $491.  ALN 16.575 – Known questioned costs were $7 and projected costs were $262. Repeat finding: No. Recommendation: We recommend the Organization improve the controls over the payroll allocation process, including revisions to the current policy and procedure manual. The policy should clearly define allowable payroll costs, policies for allocation to grants, and outline adequate documentation for transactions. We additionally suggest a review at the employee level to ensure that allocations are accurate by pay period. Views of responsible officials and planned corrective actions: Management agrees with the assessment and understands the importance of strong controls surrounding payroll allocation. The Organization has worked hard to bring the new payroll so_x001F_ware in line with the complex requirements of grant accounting and at the time of this audit issuance the error has been resolved. The Organization will complete employee level reviews each payroll to ensure that salaries and benefits continue to be allocated accurately according to hours charged to programs. The Organization is in the process of revising the accounting policy manual with the full revision expected to be completed by December 2025.

To be an allowable cost, charges must be supported by appropriate documentation and be properly approved. Condition and context: During the period under audit, a new payroll system was implemented, and the employee portion of benefits had an allocation error for certain types of employee compensation.  WIOA Cluster (ALN 17.258, 17.259, 17.278) – For four of 25 employees selected, a portion of employee worker’s compensation was overcharged to the grant. For the sample tested, the known amount over charged to the grant was $24.  Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (ALN 21.027) – For two of 25 employees selected, a portion of employee benefits were overcharged to the grant. For the sample tested, the known amount over charged to the grant was $14.  Food Distribution Cluster (ALN 10.565, 10.568, 10.569) – For one of 25 employees selected, a portion of employee benefits were overcharged to the grant. For the sample tested, the known amount over charged to the grant was $2.  Aging Cluster (ALN 93.044, 93.045, 93.053) – For three of 25 employees selected, a portion of employee worker’s compensation was overcharged to the grant. For the sample tested, the known amount over charged to the grant was $9. Medicaid Cluster (ALN 93.778) – For one of 25 employees selected, a portion of employee worker’s compensation was overcharged to the grant. For the sample tested, the known amount over charged to the grant was $29.  Crime Victim Assistance (ALN 16.575) – For one of 25 employees selected, a portion of employee benefits were overcharged to the grant. For the sample tested, the known amount over charged to the grant was $7. Cause: A new payroll system was implemented, and all allocations of benefits were not reviewed in detail enough to catch the misallocation of a portion benefits for certain compensation types. Effect: Allocation of payroll related benefits were incorrectly applied to grants. Questioned costs: This resulted in the following questioned costs;  ALN 17.258, 17.259, 17.278 – Known questioned costs were $24 and projected costs were $1,087.  ALN 21.027 – Known questioned costs were $14 and projected costs were $153.  ALN 10.565, 10.568, 10.569 – Known questioned costs were $2 and projected costs were $13.  ALN 93.044, 93.045, 93.053 – Known questioned costs were $9 and projected costs were $303.  ALN 93.778 – Known questioned costs were $29 and projected costs were $491.  ALN 16.575 – Known questioned costs were $7 and projected costs were $262. Repeat finding: No. Recommendation: We recommend the Organization improve the controls over the payroll allocation process, including revisions to the current policy and procedure manual. The policy should clearly define allowable payroll costs, policies for allocation to grants, and outline adequate documentation for transactions. We additionally suggest a review at the employee level to ensure that allocations are accurate by pay period. Views of responsible officials and planned corrective actions: Management agrees with the assessment and understands the importance of strong controls surrounding payroll allocation. The Organization has worked hard to bring the new payroll so_x001F_ware in line with the complex requirements of grant accounting and at the time of this audit issuance the error has been resolved. The Organization will complete employee level reviews each payroll to ensure that salaries and benefits continue to be allocated accurately according to hours charged to programs.

For the sample tested, the known amount over charged to the grant was $14.  Food Distribution Cluster (ALN 10.565, 10.568, 10.569) – For one of 25 employees selected, a portion of employee benefits were overcharged to the grant. For the sample tested, the known amount over charged to the grant was $2.  Aging Cluster (ALN 93.044, 93.045, 93.053) – For three of 25 employees selected, a portion of employee worker’s compensation was overcharged to the grant. For the sample tested, the known amount over charged to the grant was $9. Medicaid Cluster (ALN 93.778) – For one of 25 employees selected, a portion of employee worker’s compensation was overcharged to the grant. For the sample tested, the known amount over charged to the grant was $29.  Crime Victim Assistance (ALN 16.575) – For one of 25 employees selected, a portion of employee benefits were overcharged to the grant. For the sample tested, the known amount over charged to the grant was $7. Cause: A new payroll system was implemented, and all allocations of benefits were not reviewed in detail enough to catch the misallocation of a portion benefits for certain compensation types. Effect: Allocation of payroll related benefits were incorrectly applied to grants. Questioned costs: This resulted in the following questioned costs;  ALN 17.258, 17.259, 17.278 – Known questioned costs were $24 and projected costs were $1,087.  ALN 21.027 – Known questioned costs were $14 and projected costs were $153.  ALN 10.565, 10.568, 10.569 – Known questioned costs were $2 and projected costs were $13.  ALN 93.044, 93.045, 93.053 – Known questioned costs were $9 and projected costs were $303.  ALN 93.778 – Known questioned costs were $29 and projected costs were $491.  ALN 16.575 – Known questioned costs were $7 and projected costs were $262. Repeat finding: No. Recommendation: We recommend the Organization improve the controls over the payroll allocation process, including revisions to the current policy and procedure manual. The policy should clearly define allowable payroll costs, policies for allocation to grants, and outline adequate documentation for transactions. We additionally suggest a review at the employee level to ensure that allocations are accurate by pay period. Views of responsible officials and planned corrective actions: Management agrees with the assessment and understands the importance of strong controls surrounding payroll allocation. The Organization has worked hard to bring the new payroll so_x001F_ware in line with the complex requirements of grant accounting and at the time of this audit issuance the error has been resolved. The Organization will complete employee level reviews each payroll to ensure that salaries and benefits continue to be allocated accurately according to hours charged to programs. The Organization is in the process of revising the accounting policy manual with the full revision expected to be completed by December 2025. Individual policies will be submitted to the board for approval as they are revised.

Condition: The Organization did not inventory equipment purchased with federal funds within the last two years. Context: During our testing of equipment and real property management, we noted that for all 7 items in our sample, an inventory of these items had not been performed in the prior two years. Our sample was selected using a random methodology, rather than a statistical sampling methodology, from the 50 item population. Cause: The finding and material weakness is due to the controls not designed properly to ensure an inventory was being performed every two years. Repeat finding: Yes Effect: Noncompliance to the requirement that equipment purchased with federal funds be inventoried at least once every two years, as well as a disposal not being recorded in the correct period. Questioned costs: None noted. Recommendation: We recommend the Organization design and implement controls to ensure that all equipment purchased with federal funds is tagged and inventoried every two years. In addition, the Organization should maintain documentation of when the inventory takes place and have procedures in place to track and record any new additions or disposals on a timely basis. Views of responsible officials and planned corrective actions: Management agrees with the assessment and understands the importance of regular physical inventories. The Organization has designed and implemented controls to ensure that all equipment purchased with federal funds is tagged and inventoried every two years.

To be an allowable cost, charges must be supported by appropriate documentation and be properly approved. Condition and context: During the period under audit, a new payroll system was implemented, and the employee portion of benefits had an allocation error for certain types of employee compensation.  WIOA Cluster (ALN 17.258, 17.259, 17.278) – For four of 25 employees selected, a portion of employee worker’s compensation was overcharged to the grant. For the sample tested, the known amount over charged to the grant was $24.  Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (ALN 21.027) – For two of 25 employees selected, a portion of employee benefits were overcharged to the grant. For the sample tested, the known amount over charged to the grant was $14.  Food Distribution Cluster (ALN 10.565, 10.568, 10.569) – For one of 25 employees selected, a portion of employee benefits were overcharged to the grant. For the sample tested, the known amount over charged to the grant was $2.  Aging Cluster (ALN 93.044, 93.045, 93.053) – For three of 25 employees selected, a portion of employee worker’s compensation was overcharged to the grant. For the sample tested, the known amount over charged to the grant was $9. Medicaid Cluster (ALN 93.778) – For one of 25 employees selected, a portion of employee worker’s compensation was overcharged to the grant. For the sample tested, the known amount over charged to the grant was $29.  Crime Victim Assistance (ALN 16.575) – For one of 25 employees selected, a portion of employee benefits were overcharged to the grant. For the sample tested, the known amount over charged to the grant was $7. Cause: A new payroll system was implemented, and all allocations of benefits were not reviewed in detail enough to catch the misallocation of a portion benefits for certain compensation types. Effect: Allocation of payroll related benefits were incorrectly applied to grants. Questioned costs: This resulted in the following questioned costs;  ALN 17.258, 17.259, 17.278 – Known questioned costs were $24 and projected costs were $1,087.  ALN 21.027 – Known questioned costs were $14 and projected costs were $153.  ALN 10.565, 10.568, 10.569 – Known questioned costs were $2 and projected costs were $13.  ALN 93.044, 93.045, 93.053 – Known questioned costs were $9 and projected costs were $303.  ALN 93.778 – Known questioned costs were $29 and projected costs were $491.  ALN 16.575 – Known questioned costs were $7 and projected costs were $262. Repeat finding: No. Recommendation: We recommend the Organization improve the controls over the payroll allocation process, including revisions to the current policy and procedure manual. The policy should clearly define allowable payroll costs, policies for allocation to grants, and outline adequate documentation for transactions. We additionally suggest a review at the employee level to ensure that allocations are accurate by pay period. Views of responsible officials and planned corrective actions: Management agrees with the assessment and understands the importance of strong controls surrounding payroll allocation. The Organization has worked hard to bring the new payroll so_x001F_ware in line with the complex requirements of grant accounting and at the time of this audit issuance the error has been resolved. The Organization will complete employee level reviews each payroll to ensure that salaries and benefits continue to be allocated accurately according to hours charged to programs. The Organization is in the process of revising the accounting policy manual with the full revision expected to be completed by December 2025. Individual policies will be submitted to the board for approval as they are revised.

Repeat finding: No. Recommendation: We recommend the Organization improve the controls over the payroll allocation process, including revisions to the current policy and procedure manual. The policy should clearly define allowable payroll costs, policies for allocation to grants, and outline adequate documentation for transactions. We additionally suggest a review at the employee level to ensure that allocations are accurate by pay period. Views of responsible officials and planned corrective actions: Management agrees with the assessment and understands the importance of strong controls surrounding payroll allocation. The Organization has worked hard to bring the new payroll so_x001F_ware in line with the complex requirements of grant accounting and at the time of this audit issuance the error has been resolved. The Organization will complete employee level reviews each payroll to ensure that salaries and benefits continue to be allocated accurately according to hours charged to programs. The Organization is in the process of revising the accounting policy manual with the full revision expected to be completed by December 2025. Individual policies will be submitted to the board for approval as they are revised.

Repeat finding: No. Recommendation: We recommend the Organization improve the controls over the payroll allocation process, including revisions to the current policy and procedure manual. The policy should clearly define allowable payroll costs, policies for allocation to grants, and outline adequate documentation for transactions. We additionally suggest a review at the employee level to ensure that allocations are accurate by pay period. Views of responsible officials and planned corrective actions: Management agrees with the assessment and understands the importance of strong controls surrounding payroll allocation. The Organization has worked hard to bring the new payroll so_x001F_ware in line with the complex requirements of grant accounting and at the time of this audit issuance the error has been resolved. The Organization will complete employee level reviews each payroll to ensure that salaries and benefits continue to be allocated accurately according to hours charged to programs. The Organization is in the process of revising the accounting policy manual with the full revision expected to be completed by December 2025.

To be an allowable cost, charges must be supported by appropriate documentation and be properly approved. Condition and context: During the period under audit, a new payroll system was implemented, and the employee portion of benefits had an allocation error for certain types of employee compensation.  WIOA Cluster (ALN 17.258, 17.259, 17.278) – For four of 25 employees selected, a portion of employee worker’s compensation was overcharged to the grant. For the sample tested, the known amount over charged to the grant was $24.  Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (ALN 21.027) – For two of 25 employees selected, a portion of employee benefits were overcharged to the grant. For the sample tested, the known amount over charged to the grant was $14.  Food Distribution Cluster (ALN 10.565, 10.568, 10.569) – For one of 25 employees selected, a portion of employee benefits were overcharged to the grant. For the sample tested, the known amount over charged to the grant was $2.  Aging Cluster (ALN 93.044, 93.045, 93.053) – For three of 25 employees selected, a portion of employee worker’s compensation was overcharged to the grant. For the sample tested, the known amount over charged to the grant was $9. Medicaid Cluster (ALN 93.778) – For one of 25 employees selected, a portion of employee worker’s compensation was overcharged to the grant. For the sample tested, the known amount over charged to the grant was $29.  Crime Victim Assistance (ALN 16.575) – For one of 25 employees selected, a portion of employee benefits were overcharged to the grant. For the sample tested, the known amount over charged to the grant was $7. Cause: A new payroll system was implemented, and all allocations of benefits were not reviewed in detail enough to catch the misallocation of a portion benefits for certain compensation types. Effect: Allocation of payroll related benefits were incorrectly applied to grants. Questioned costs: This resulted in the following questioned costs;  ALN 17.258, 17.259, 17.278 – Known questioned costs were $24 and projected costs were $1,087.  ALN 21.027 – Known questioned costs were $14 and projected costs were $153.  ALN 10.565, 10.568, 10.569 – Known questioned costs were $2 and projected costs were $13.  ALN 93.044, 93.045, 93.053 – Known questioned costs were $9 and projected costs were $303.  ALN 93.778 – Known questioned costs were $29 and projected costs were $491.  ALN 16.575 – Known questioned costs were $7 and projected costs were $262. Repeat finding: No. Recommendation: We recommend the Organization improve the controls over the payroll allocation process, including revisions to the current policy and procedure manual. The policy should clearly define allowable payroll costs, policies for allocation to grants, and outline adequate documentation for transactions. We additionally suggest a review at the employee level to ensure that allocations are accurate by pay period. Views of responsible officials and planned corrective actions: Management agrees with the assessment and understands the importance of strong controls surrounding payroll allocation. The Organization has worked hard to bring the new payroll so_x001F_ware in line with the complex requirements of grant accounting and at the time of this audit issuance the error has been resolved. The Organization will complete employee level reviews each payroll to ensure that salaries and benefits continue to be allocated accurately according to hours charged to programs.

For the sample tested, the known amount over charged to the grant was $14.  Food Distribution Cluster (ALN 10.565, 10.568, 10.569) – For one of 25 employees selected, a portion of employee benefits were overcharged to the grant. For the sample tested, the known amount over charged to the grant was $2.  Aging Cluster (ALN 93.044, 93.045, 93.053) – For three of 25 employees selected, a portion of employee worker’s compensation was overcharged to the grant. For the sample tested, the known amount over charged to the grant was $9. Medicaid Cluster (ALN 93.778) – For one of 25 employees selected, a portion of employee worker’s compensation was overcharged to the grant. For the sample tested, the known amount over charged to the grant was $29.  Crime Victim Assistance (ALN 16.575) – For one of 25 employees selected, a portion of employee benefits were overcharged to the grant. For the sample tested, the known amount over charged to the grant was $7. Cause: A new payroll system was implemented, and all allocations of benefits were not reviewed in detail enough to catch the misallocation of a portion benefits for certain compensation types. Effect: Allocation of payroll related benefits were incorrectly applied to grants. Questioned costs: This resulted in the following questioned costs;  ALN 17.258, 17.259, 17.278 – Known questioned costs were $24 and projected costs were $1,087.  ALN 21.027 – Known questioned costs were $14 and projected costs were $153.  ALN 10.565, 10.568, 10.569 – Known questioned costs were $2 and projected costs were $13.  ALN 93.044, 93.045, 93.053 – Known questioned costs were $9 and projected costs were $303.  ALN 93.778 – Known questioned costs were $29 and projected costs were $491.  ALN 16.575 – Known questioned costs were $7 and projected costs were $262. Repeat finding: No. Recommendation: We recommend the Organization improve the controls over the payroll allocation process, including revisions to the current policy and procedure manual. The policy should clearly define allowable payroll costs, policies for allocation to grants, and outline adequate documentation for transactions. We additionally suggest a review at the employee level to ensure that allocations are accurate by pay period. Views of responsible officials and planned corrective actions: Management agrees with the assessment and understands the importance of strong controls surrounding payroll allocation. The Organization has worked hard to bring the new payroll so_x001F_ware in line with the complex requirements of grant accounting and at the time of this audit issuance the error has been resolved. The Organization will complete employee level reviews each payroll to ensure that salaries and benefits continue to be allocated accurately according to hours charged to programs. The Organization is in the process of revising the accounting policy manual with the full revision expected to be completed by December 2025. Individual policies will be submitted to the board for approval as they are revised.

Questioned costs: This resulted in the following questioned costs;  ALN 17.258, 17.259, 17.278 – Known questioned costs were $24 and projected costs were $1,087.  ALN 21.027 – Known questioned costs were $14 and projected costs were $153.  ALN 10.565, 10.568, 10.569 – Known questioned costs were $2 and projected costs were $13.  ALN 93.044, 93.045, 93.053 – Known questioned costs were $9 and projected costs were $303.  ALN 93.778 – Known questioned costs were $29 and projected costs were $491.  ALN 16.575 – Known questioned costs were $7 and projected costs were $262. Repeat finding: No. Recommendation: We recommend the Organization improve the controls over the payroll allocation process, including revisions to the current policy and procedure manual. The policy should clearly define allowable payroll costs, policies for allocation to grants, and outline adequate documentation for transactions. We additionally suggest a review at the employee level to ensure that allocations are accurate by pay period. Views of responsible officials and planned corrective actions: Management agrees with the assessment and understands the importance of strong controls surrounding payroll allocation. The Organization has worked hard to bring the new payroll so_x001F_ware in line with the complex requirements of grant accounting and at the time of this audit issuance the error has been resolved. The Organization will complete employee level reviews each payroll to ensure that salaries and benefits continue to be allocated accurately according to hours charged to programs. The Organization is in the process of revising the accounting policy manual with the full revision expected to be completed by December 2025.

To be an allowable cost, charges must be supported by appropriate documentation and be properly approved. Condition and context: During the period under audit, a new payroll system was implemented, and the employee portion of benefits had an allocation error for certain types of employee compensation.  WIOA Cluster (ALN 17.258, 17.259, 17.278) – For four of 25 employees selected, a portion of employee worker’s compensation was overcharged to the grant. For the sample tested, the known amount over charged to the grant was $24.  Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (ALN 21.027) – For two of 25 employees selected, a portion of employee benefits were overcharged to the grant. For the sample tested, the known amount over charged to the grant was $14.  Food Distribution Cluster (ALN 10.565, 10.568, 10.569) – For one of 25 employees selected, a portion of employee benefits were overcharged to the grant. For the sample tested, the known amount over charged to the grant was $2.  Aging Cluster (ALN 93.044, 93.045, 93.053) – For three of 25 employees selected, a portion of employee worker’s compensation was overcharged to the grant. For the sample tested, the known amount over charged to the grant was $9. Medicaid Cluster (ALN 93.778) – For one of 25 employees selected, a portion of employee worker’s compensation was overcharged to the grant. For the sample tested, the known amount over charged to the grant was $29.  Crime Victim Assistance (ALN 16.575) – For one of 25 employees selected, a portion of employee benefits were overcharged to the grant. For the sample tested, the known amount over charged to the grant was $7. Cause: A new payroll system was implemented, and all allocations of benefits were not reviewed in detail enough to catch the misallocation of a portion benefits for certain compensation types. Effect: Allocation of payroll related benefits were incorrectly applied to grants. Questioned costs: This resulted in the following questioned costs;  ALN 17.258, 17.259, 17.278 – Known questioned costs were $24 and projected costs were $1,087.  ALN 21.027 – Known questioned costs were $14 and projected costs were $153.  ALN 10.565, 10.568, 10.569 – Known questioned costs were $2 and projected costs were $13.  ALN 93.044, 93.045, 93.053 – Known questioned costs were $9 and projected costs were $303.  ALN 93.778 – Known questioned costs were $29 and projected costs were $491.  ALN 16.575 – Known questioned costs were $7 and projected costs were $262. Repeat finding: No. Recommendation: We recommend the Organization improve the controls over the payroll allocation process, including revisions to the current policy and procedure manual. The policy should clearly define allowable payroll costs, policies for allocation to grants, and outline adequate documentation for transactions. We additionally suggest a review at the employee level to ensure that allocations are accurate by pay period. Views of responsible officials and planned corrective actions: Management agrees with the assessment and understands the importance of strong controls surrounding payroll allocation. The Organization has worked hard to bring the new payroll so_x001F_ware in line with the complex requirements of grant accounting and at the time of this audit issuance the error has been resolved. The Organization will complete employee level reviews each payroll to ensure that salaries and benefits continue to be allocated accurately according to hours charged to programs.

For the sample tested, the known amount over charged to the grant was $14.  Food Distribution Cluster (ALN 10.565, 10.568, 10.569) – For one of 25 employees selected, a portion of employee benefits were overcharged to the grant. For the sample tested, the known amount over charged to the grant was $2.  Aging Cluster (ALN 93.044, 93.045, 93.053) – For three of 25 employees selected, a portion of employee worker’s compensation was overcharged to the grant. For the sample tested, the known amount over charged to the grant was $9. Medicaid Cluster (ALN 93.778) – For one of 25 employees selected, a portion of employee worker’s compensation was overcharged to the grant. For the sample tested, the known amount over charged to the grant was $29.  Crime Victim Assistance (ALN 16.575) – For one of 25 employees selected, a portion of employee benefits were overcharged to the grant. For the sample tested, the known amount over charged to the grant was $7. Cause: A new payroll system was implemented, and all allocations of benefits were not reviewed in detail enough to catch the misallocation of a portion benefits for certain compensation types. Effect: Allocation of payroll related benefits were incorrectly applied to grants. Questioned costs: This resulted in the following questioned costs;  ALN 17.258, 17.259, 17.278 – Known questioned costs were $24 and projected costs were $1,087.  ALN 21.027 – Known questioned costs were $14 and projected costs were $153.  ALN 10.565, 10.568, 10.569 – Known questioned costs were $2 and projected costs were $13.  ALN 93.044, 93.045, 93.053 – Known questioned costs were $9 and projected costs were $303.  ALN 93.778 – Known questioned costs were $29 and projected costs were $491.  ALN 16.575 – Known questioned costs were $7 and projected costs were $262. Repeat finding: No. Recommendation: We recommend the Organization improve the controls over the payroll allocation process, including revisions to the current policy and procedure manual. The policy should clearly define allowable payroll costs, policies for allocation to grants, and outline adequate documentation for transactions. We additionally suggest a review at the employee level to ensure that allocations are accurate by pay period. Views of responsible officials and planned corrective actions: Management agrees with the assessment and understands the importance of strong controls surrounding payroll allocation. The Organization has worked hard to bring the new payroll so_x001F_ware in line with the complex requirements of grant accounting and at the time of this audit issuance the error has been resolved. The Organization will complete employee level reviews each payroll to ensure that salaries and benefits continue to be allocated accurately according to hours charged to programs. The Organization is in the process of revising the accounting policy manual with the full revision expected to be completed by December 2025. Individual policies will be submitted to the board for approval as they are revised.

Questioned costs: This resulted in the following questioned costs;  ALN 17.258, 17.259, 17.278 – Known questioned costs were $24 and projected costs were $1,087.  ALN 21.027 – Known questioned costs were $14 and projected costs were $153.  ALN 10.565, 10.568, 10.569 – Known questioned costs were $2 and projected costs were $13.  ALN 93.044, 93.045, 93.053 – Known questioned costs were $9 and projected costs were $303.  ALN 93.778 – Known questioned costs were $29 and projected costs were $491.  ALN 16.575 – Known questioned costs were $7 and projected costs were $262. Repeat finding: No. Recommendation: We recommend the Organization improve the controls over the payroll allocation process, including revisions to the current policy and procedure manual. The policy should clearly define allowable payroll costs, policies for allocation to grants, and outline adequate documentation for transactions. We additionally suggest a review at the employee level to ensure that allocations are accurate by pay period. Views of responsible officials and planned corrective actions: Management agrees with the assessment and understands the importance of strong controls surrounding payroll allocation. The Organization has worked hard to bring the new payroll so_x001F_ware in line with the complex requirements of grant accounting and at the time of this audit issuance the error has been resolved. The Organization will complete employee level reviews each payroll to ensure that salaries and benefits continue to be allocated accurately according to hours charged to programs. The Organization is in the process of revising the accounting policy manual with the full revision expected to be completed by December 2025.

To be an allowable cost, charges must be supported by appropriate documentation and be properly approved. Condition and context: During the period under audit, a new payroll system was implemented, and the employee portion of benefits had an allocation error for certain types of employee compensation.  WIOA Cluster (ALN 17.258, 17.259, 17.278) – For four of 25 employees selected, a portion of employee worker’s compensation was overcharged to the grant. For the sample tested, the known amount over charged to the grant was $24.  Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (ALN 21.027) – For two of 25 employees selected, a portion of employee benefits were overcharged to the grant. For the sample tested, the known amount over charged to the grant was $14.  Food Distribution Cluster (ALN 10.565, 10.568, 10.569) – For one of 25 employees selected, a portion of employee benefits were overcharged to the grant. For the sample tested, the known amount over charged to the grant was $2.  Aging Cluster (ALN 93.044, 93.045, 93.053) – For three of 25 employees selected, a portion of employee worker’s compensation was overcharged to the grant. For the sample tested, the known amount over charged to the grant was $9. Medicaid Cluster (ALN 93.778) – For one of 25 employees selected, a portion of employee worker’s compensation was overcharged to the grant. For the sample tested, the known amount over charged to the grant was $29.  Crime Victim Assistance (ALN 16.575) – For one of 25 employees selected, a portion of employee benefits were overcharged to the grant. For the sample tested, the known amount over charged to the grant was $7. Cause: A new payroll system was implemented, and all allocations of benefits were not reviewed in detail enough to catch the misallocation of a portion benefits for certain compensation types. Effect: Allocation of payroll related benefits were incorrectly applied to grants. Questioned costs: This resulted in the following questioned costs;  ALN 17.258, 17.259, 17.278 – Known questioned costs were $24 and projected costs were $1,087.  ALN 21.027 – Known questioned costs were $14 and projected costs were $153.  ALN 10.565, 10.568, 10.569 – Known questioned costs were $2 and projected costs were $13.  ALN 93.044, 93.045, 93.053 – Known questioned costs were $9 and projected costs were $303.  ALN 93.778 – Known questioned costs were $29 and projected costs were $491.  ALN 16.575 – Known questioned costs were $7 and projected costs were $262. Repeat finding: No. Recommendation: We recommend the Organization improve the controls over the payroll allocation process, including revisions to the current policy and procedure manual. The policy should clearly define allowable payroll costs, policies for allocation to grants, and outline adequate documentation for transactions. We additionally suggest a review at the employee level to ensure that allocations are accurate by pay period. Views of responsible officials and planned corrective actions: Management agrees with the assessment and understands the importance of strong controls surrounding payroll allocation. The Organization has worked hard to bring the new payroll so_x001F_ware in line with the complex requirements of grant accounting and at the time of this audit issuance the error has been resolved. The Organization will complete employee level reviews each payroll to ensure that salaries and benefits continue to be allocated accurately according to hours charged to programs.

For the sample tested, the known amount over charged to the grant was $14.  Food Distribution Cluster (ALN 10.565, 10.568, 10.569) – For one of 25 employees selected, a portion of employee benefits were overcharged to the grant. For the sample tested, the known amount over charged to the grant was $2.  Aging Cluster (ALN 93.044, 93.045, 93.053) – For three of 25 employees selected, a portion of employee worker’s compensation was overcharged to the grant. For the sample tested, the known amount over charged to the grant was $9. Medicaid Cluster (ALN 93.778) – For one of 25 employees selected, a portion of employee worker’s compensation was overcharged to the grant. For the sample tested, the known amount over charged to the grant was $29.  Crime Victim Assistance (ALN 16.575) – For one of 25 employees selected, a portion of employee benefits were overcharged to the grant. For the sample tested, the known amount over charged to the grant was $7. Cause: A new payroll system was implemented, and all allocations of benefits were not reviewed in detail enough to catch the misallocation of a portion benefits for certain compensation types. Effect: Allocation of payroll related benefits were incorrectly applied to grants. Questioned costs: This resulted in the following questioned costs;  ALN 17.258, 17.259, 17.278 – Known questioned costs were $24 and projected costs were $1,087.  ALN 21.027 – Known questioned costs were $14 and projected costs were $153.  ALN 10.565, 10.568, 10.569 – Known questioned costs were $2 and projected costs were $13.  ALN 93.044, 93.045, 93.053 – Known questioned costs were $9 and projected costs were $303.  ALN 93.778 – Known questioned costs were $29 and projected costs were $491.  ALN 16.575 – Known questioned costs were $7 and projected costs were $262. Repeat finding: No. Recommendation: We recommend the Organization improve the controls over the payroll allocation process, including revisions to the current policy and procedure manual. The policy should clearly define allowable payroll costs, policies for allocation to grants, and outline adequate documentation for transactions. We additionally suggest a review at the employee level to ensure that allocations are accurate by pay period. Views of responsible officials and planned corrective actions: Management agrees with the assessment and understands the importance of strong controls surrounding payroll allocation. The Organization has worked hard to bring the new payroll so_x001F_ware in line with the complex requirements of grant accounting and at the time of this audit issuance the error has been resolved. The Organization will complete employee level reviews each payroll to ensure that salaries and benefits continue to be allocated accurately according to hours charged to programs. The Organization is in the process of revising the accounting policy manual with the full revision expected to be completed by December 2025. Individual policies will be submitted to the board for approval as they are revised.

Questioned costs: This resulted in the following questioned costs;  ALN 17.258, 17.259, 17.278 – Known questioned costs were $24 and projected costs were $1,087.  ALN 21.027 – Known questioned costs were $14 and projected costs were $153.  ALN 10.565, 10.568, 10.569 – Known questioned costs were $2 and projected costs were $13.  ALN 93.044, 93.045, 93.053 – Known questioned costs were $9 and projected costs were $303.  ALN 93.778 – Known questioned costs were $29 and projected costs were $491.  ALN 16.575 – Known questioned costs were $7 and projected costs were $262. Repeat finding: No. Recommendation: We recommend the Organization improve the controls over the payroll allocation process, including revisions to the current policy and procedure manual. The policy should clearly define allowable payroll costs, policies for allocation to grants, and outline adequate documentation for transactions. We additionally suggest a review at the employee level to ensure that allocations are accurate by pay period. Views of responsible officials and planned corrective actions: Management agrees with the assessment and understands the importance of strong controls surrounding payroll allocation. The Organization has worked hard to bring the new payroll so_x001F_ware in line with the complex requirements of grant accounting and at the time of this audit issuance the error has been resolved. The Organization will complete employee level reviews each payroll to ensure that salaries and benefits continue to be allocated accurately according to hours charged to programs. The Organization is in the process of revising the accounting policy manual with the full revision expected to be completed by December 2025. Individual policies will be submitted to the board for approval as they are revised.
