Finding Reference: 2024-003 Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions The Agency agrees with this finding and recommendation as presented. Given this finding, the Agency will review monthly its application of the approved provisional indirect cost rate to all grants, contracts, and other agreements covered by 2 CFR 200. Management has taken corrective action by ensuring that all indirect cost allocations remain within the approved 22% rate and has also participated in additional financial training to strengthen compliance and oversight. The Agency will proceed in the following scope of work: Ensure indirect charges follow the applicable cost principles per 2 CFR 200, Appendix IV, and grant agreement. Receive permission from funders for indirect charges over the allocation of the indirect costs per the grant agreement. Review the grant performance period of the CSBG that ends September 30, 2025. Obtain a revised budget approval, if necessary, for any line budgeted items that exceed 20% of the total award based on the original awarded contract upon close out of the grant at the end of the period of performance. Name of the contact person responsible for corrective action: Michael Young, President, (301) 274-4474. Planned completion date for corrective action plan: December 31, 2025
