Program: AL 21.027 – COVID-19 – Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds – Allowability & Subrecipient Monitoring Corrective Action Plan: Payments to Developmental Disability Providers, Assisted-Living Facilities, and Nursing Facilities for Employee Retention and Recruitment: DHHS is in the process of obtaining affidavits from all Developmental Disability Providers, Assisted-Living Facilities, and Nursing Facilities who received payments under LB1014 stating that funds were used for allowable purposes. Premium Pay: We do not believe any corrective action is warranted as our files were corrected with the Auditor’s guidance and assistance in accordance with all CSLFRF eligibility requirements. Assistance to Nonprofits: For Shovel-Ready awards that have already been granted, DED will confirm prior to close-out of the grant that there is sufficient supporting documentation showing the awardee suffered a harm related and reasonably proportional to the award. Sufficient supporting documents must prove that the nonprofits suffered an economic harm, such as a decrease in revenue or an increase in expenses due to COVID-19. The evidence may include but is not limited to: • Profit and loss statements showing a decrease in revenue or an increase in expenses • Audited financial statements showing a decrease in review or an increase in expenses • Change in a line of credit • Increase in costs for projects related to COVID-19, such as construction cost data, • Decrease in written pledges related to COVID-19 • Decrease in donations related to COVID-19 • Historical fundraising comparisons University of Nebraska: The University project is ongoing. In the next six months, Military/NEMA will initiate monitoring activities to include the review and validation of expenditures for allowability as required under 2 C.F.R. part 200. Nursing Scholarships: DHHS’ current internal controls for the Nursing Scholarship program have minimized the risk of fraud as they correctly identified this case of fraud and have identified others prior to any payment being made. DHHS will continue to review payments for the Nursing Scholarship program, which uncovered the $5,000 identified in the finding.

Program: AL 20.509 – Formula Grants for Rural Areas – Allowability & Subrecipient Monitoring Corrective Action Plan: NDOT recently updated the Invoicing Reimbursement Acceptable Documentation Requirement Guidelines. These guidelines offer comprehensive instruction, best practices, and a clearer definition of allowable expenses for subrecipients. The updated guide was distributed to subrecipients in February 2024. Over the next six months, NDOT plans to conduct additional training sessions through opportunities such as the monthly Transit Manager meetings, on-site visits, or webinars with subrecipients. The objective is to ensure a thorough understanding of required documentation and the identification of eligible federal reimbursement expenses. To assist with transit subrecipient monitoring, NDOT management has designated an internal auditor within the Transit Section. The auditor’s focus will be assessing reimbursement documentation, reviewing time studies, evaluating cost allocation plans, developing risk assessment, and helping to intensify monitoring efforts over all subrecipients. NDOT is also in the process of improving and updating the invoice review process to provide consistency for reviewing and approving invoices to enhance accuracy within the Transit Section. Additionally, NDOT has established a dedicated unit “Financial Oversight” within the Transit Section solely focusing on Subrecipient reimbursements. The four staff members in this unit will report directly to Financial Aid Administrator III, this oversight will enhance the quality checks and consistency among subrecipient reimbursements. The Financial Oversight unit will continue to evaluate and refine the operations to ensure federal regulation and required documentation is in place prior to any subrecipient reimbursement.

Context: A number of transfer adjustments were made during the audit period from Corporation fund 7923 (ESSER III) to fund 7941 (CARES Ed Stabilization). These transfers were made move payroll disbursement activity for reimbursement. Support for these adjustments was traced to School Corporation’s records to verify the Gross Payroll activity moved for all but one transaction, which totaled $27,824. The supporting documentation for this transaction exceeded the amount of the transaction. Inquiry with School Corporation officials and review of the documentation determined that the amount transferred in this transaction was based on the remaining grant budget amounts in the grant fund 7941. The transaction was not based on actual payroll disbursements as all other transfer adjustments were. The $27,824 without supporting documentation is considered questioned costs. Views of Responsible Officials: We concur with the finding. Description of Corrective Action Plan: For future transfers of payroll disbursements, both the Treasurer and Grant Director will ensure that the amount transferred corresponds to actual, documented payroll expenses and not an aggregate salary and/or benefit expenditure.

Context: The School Corporation had not designed or implemented a system of internal control to ensure that program costs incurred by the Food Service Management Company were supported by proper documentation and were allowable. The School Corporation entered into a cost reimbursement contract with a food service management company (FSMC). The FSMC incurred costs and invoiced the School Corporation for reimbursement of the costs. Due to the lack of effective internal controls, the following errors were noted: In a test of 44 items, 22 items (50%) totaling $6,641 did not have proper documentation to support that the expenses were allowable and for the benefit of food service. Views of Responsible Officials: We concur with the finding.
