Status: Completed Corrective Action: The City agrees with the finding. Remediation began with 2022-006. HOST makes every effort to comply with not only federal requirements but also City Charter requirements for timely payment. Occasionally there are exceptional circumstances where there is a need to update the City financial system Workday, for budget modifications or the like that could result in a delay of payment. In an effort to determine these items ahead of time we’ve updated our internal policies to require finance budget review prior to contract execution. Likewise, HOST is engaged in an application upgrade with Salesforce which is in the final User Acceptance Testing (UAT) phase to incorporate changes that now include status tracking for vendor invoice submissions and reimbursement payments. This will support a more comprehensive and accurate accounting of any legitimate postponed payments due to waiting on more required information from vendors, budget modifications, contract amendments, etc. Person(s) Responsible for Implementing: HOST Operations Division Directors Implementation Date: Q1-2024

Status: Complete Corrective Action: This matter has been remediated, however, per the assessment this issue is a carryover into 2023 sub-awards based on the contract timeframes. The City agrees with the finding. However, based on when the finding was identified, there was insufficient time to address the finding prior to December 31, 2023. To remediate prior findings 2022-005 and 2021-010, HOST updated the agency’s Grant Administrator Policies & Procedures, and our Contract & Performance Management Policies that now include language to ensure obligation of funding within the required deadlines. These policies were modified complete in June 2022 and July 2023. HOST’s current Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) cycle for ESG funding will apply to subrecipient programs awarded beginning 01/01/2024, with anticipated contract executions in Q4 2023. Copies of both policies were provided to BDO on August 16, 2023, in response to the finding. This matter has been remediated, however, per the assessment this issue is a carryover into 2022 sub-awards based on the contract timeframes.

Management acknowledges the importance of ensuring that payroll costs charged to the program are consistent between the payroll system and the employee’s timesheet.
