The Government concurs with the auditor's findings and recommendations. VIDE acknowledges the audit findings regarding Child Nutrition Cluster payroll and is committed to strengthening internal controls for federal compliance. VIDE will enhance timesheet management by developing clear policies for completion, submission, approval, and secure retention, ensuring accurate effort documentation. Federal Grants and Payroll staff will collaboratively verify employee authorization, accurate project coding, and consistent pay rates (NOPA vs. payroll register); this reconciliation will occur periodically and before key reporting deadlines. We will also improve payroll register completeness by adjusting reporting configurations to consistently include all mandatory employer-paid benefits (e.g., retirement, health insurance) and resolve individual instances where hours worked were inaccurate. Finally, mandatory training will be conducted for relevant staff and supervisors on new timesheet procedures, federal time and effort requirements, NOPA reconciliation, and accurate payroll documentation. This comprehensive approach, supported by ongoing monitoring from the Office of Fiscal and Administrative Services, will ensure sustained compliance and robust financial management for the Child Nutrition Cluster.

2022 – 003: Activities Allowed and Unallowed, Allowable Costs, Period of Performance (Compliance; Internal Controls Over Compliance Material Weakness – 93.U01 Title V Condition: The Organization’s general ledger did not allow for sufficient identification of transactions related to the major program, Title V. Title V expenditures were recorded through journal entries without supporting transaction-level detail. Because of this, the population of expenditures could not be tied to individual transactions, and pulling samples from this population would not provide a reasonable basis for drawing conclusions about the population tested. As a result, we were unable to select transactions for testing or perform the necessary audit procedures to assess compliance with federal requirements. Corrective Action Plan: As of October 1, 2024, the start of FY25 QuickBooks has been the only software used, and Revenue and Disbursements are being classed by Fund.

View of Responsible Officials and Corrective Action Plan We acknowledge that the purchase of gift cards was not an allowable expense under federal grant guidelines. During the COVID-19 pandemic, our staff were tasked with responding to urgent and overwhelming public health demands, particularly as the New Mexico Department of Health became overextended. To recognize staff who went above and beyond to ensure timely case reporting and investigations for tribal communities, gift cards were used as a form of appreciation. Corrective Action Plan Timeline Moving forward, we will ensure full compliance with federal grant requirements. Specifically: 1. We will adhere strictly to the cost principles and allowability guidance outlined in federal regulations and the terms of each Notice of Award. 2. In instances where the allowability of an expense is unclear, we will proactively seek guidance and written approval from our Federal Grant Management Officer before incurring the cost. 3. We will provide refresher training to program and fiscal staff on allowable costs under federal awards to prevent recurrence of similar findings. These corrective actions will ensure future expenditures are fully compliant with federal guidelines and that staff recognition practices remain appropriate, allowable, and consistent with award terms. Corrective Action Plan Timeline • Immediate (Already in Effect): Ceased use of gift cards and other unallowable incentives. • Within 30 Days: Finance and program leadership will review current grant guidance and distribute a written summary of allowable/unallowable costs to all program managers. • Within 60 Days: Refresher training on federal cost principles (2 CFR 200) and Notice of Award guidance will be provided to all program and fiscal staff. • Ongoing: When ambiguity exists regarding allowable costs, staff will consult with the Federal Grant Management Officer prior to obligating or expending funds.

Audit Finding Reference: 2022-002 Corrective Action Taken or Planned: 1. Formalized Record Retention Policies: A formal record retention policy specific to federal grant programs will be implemented to ensure full compliance with 2 CFR 200.334. This policy will apply regardless of whether documentation is stored internally or by third-party systems. Any documentation downloaded or transferred from third-party systems will be subject to a review process to verify completeness and accuracy before being finalized for County retention. The County shall also take steps to ensure that information downloads and exports from third-party systems represent omplete and accurate records. 2. Audit Timing Advocacy and Preparedness: The County will continue to maintain timely documentation and preparedness for audits and will also advocate for timely initiation and completion of future audits. Significant delays in the audit process, through no fault of the County, as observed during the FY2022 audit, substantially impacted the County's ability to access necessary documentation and demonstrate compliance. Although the County made every effort to retain records in accordance with federal requirements, the timing of the audit fieldwork occurred well after the program had concluded in May 2023. Had the audit been conducted in a timely manner, full access to the third-party platform used for program administration would have been available, along with all supporting documentation. However, by the time the audit took place, the program had been closed for over 18 months, and access to the external software system had lapsed in accordance with the expiration of the service agreement. 3. Internal Audit Readiness Reviews: Beginning with FY2025, the County will conduct internal audit readiness reviews shortly after fiscal year-end to ensure all documentation for closed federal programs is centralized, archived, and accessible for future audit purposes, even if conducted years later. Anticipated Completion Date: October 15, 2025 Contact Person Responsible for Corrective Action: Charles Nickerson, Senior Director of Finance

Upon conducting the FY21 audit, TAS’ Director of Finance was informed that the inclusion of the Biological Expertise line item on federal budgets (approx. 7.5% additional uplift) was not allowable as it was currently being calculated. TAS is allowed a 10% de minimus rate on noted FY22 Federal awards some of which also included a Biological Expertise line item that is budgeted as an hourly rate. TAS had been calculating uplift amounts owed by simply adding the Biological Expertise (7.5%) to the de minimus rate (10%) for a total uplift of 17.5%. This was done at the direction and approval of our federal partners. However, due to Biological Expertise being entered in the federal and approved budgets as an hourly line item and not a percentage TAS was considered out of compliance by using this method of calculation. Moving forward TAS will be billing the de minimus rate (10%) as a percentage, unless otherwise noted in the agreement.
