Department of Health and Human Services (passed through Ocean Community Economic Action Now, Inc.) Finding 2022-001 ? Failure to Meet Matching Requirement (Material Noncompliance) (Repeat Finding) Head Start Program - CFDA No. 93.600; Award No. 02CH011916-01-02; Grant Period - Year Ended December 31, 2022 and Early Head Start Program ? CFDA No. 93.600; Award No. 02CH011319-02-03; Grant Period - Year Ended December 31, 2022 Statement of Condition: The subrecipient grant document requires that the subrecipient agency provide a non-federal match of 20% of the total costs of the Head Start program, which was calculated at $315,614. The actual match amount provided for the year ended December 31, 2022 was $218,506, which was significantly less than the required match. This is a repeat of a finding in the December 31, 2021 audit, which was reported as Finding 2021-001. The non-federal match requirement for the Early Head Start program was $105,261. The actual match provided for the year ended December 31, 2022 was $13,472. Criteria: The Head Start and Early Head Start programs require recipients to provide a 20% non-federal match of program expenses. Cause: The Organization did not receive sufficient in-kind support to meet the match requirement. The Organization also was unable to generate other sources of revenue to apply to the match requirement. Effect: Failure to meet the non-federal share may result in reduced funding. Recommendation: A waiver or a reduction in the required non-federal match can be requested from the Administration for Children and Families if one of five criteria are met. We recommend that the criteria be reviewed and a waiver requested if one or more of the criteria are applicable. In addition, the Organization should discuss the repercussions of failure to meet the non-federal share with the grantor and come up with a plan to ensure the non-federal match is met in future years. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions: As of January 1, 2023, LEAP, Inc. is no longer operating the Head Start and Early Head Start Programs.
Finding 2022-002 ? Late Filing of Required Reporting of Federal Awards/Grant (Material Noncompliance) (Significant Deficiency) Head Start Program - CFDA No. 93.600; Award No. 02CH011916-01-02; Grant Period - Year Ended December 31, 2022 and Early Head Start Program ? CFDA No. 93.600; Award No. 02CH011319-02-03; Grant Period - Year Ended December 31, 2022 Statement of Condition: The Organization?s Data Collection Form and Reporting Package was not submitted to the Federal Clearinghouse within nine months after year end as the Organization was unable to provide documentation to be completed timely, resulting in delinquent required reporting to the Federal Clearinghouse. Criteria: A nonfederal entity that expends $750,000 or more during the nonfederal entity's fiscal year in Federal awards must have a single or program specific audit conducted that year in accordance with the provisions of the Uniform Grant Guidance, Part 200, "Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards, Subpart F, Audit Requirements." The federal single audit must be completed and the data collection form and the reporting package (as defined in the Uniform Grant Guidance) be submitted within 30 days after receipt of the auditors' report or nine months after year end, whichever comes earlier. The reporting package includes a copy of the Organization?s audited financial statements and the federal single audit report. Cause: The Organization?s Data Collection Form and Reporting Package was not submitted to the Federal Clearinghouse within the due date of September 30, 2022 as the audit was unable to be completed prior to this date, resulting in delinquent required reporting to the Federal Clearinghouse. Effect: The Organization is not in compliance with the Uniform Grant Requirements. Recommendation: We recommend the Organization establish policies and procedures to ensure the federal single audit reporting package is submitted timely. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions: The Organization will not be required to file a federal single audit reporting package for 2022 as it will no longer have federal funding over $750,000 in subsequent years.
