Finding: 2025-047 - The amount of FY 25 SNAP benefits reported to United States Department of Agriculture as issued by the State’s Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) contractor, Fidelity National Information Services (FIS), was 1,235,577 more than the amount of authorized benefits reported in data from the Division of Public Assistance’s Eligibility Information System (EIS). Furthermore, FIS could not provide a reliable audit trail of issuances. Questioned Costs: AL 10.551: 1,235,577 Assistance Listing Number: 10.551, 10.561 Assistance Listing Title: Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) Cluster Views of Responsible Officials (state whether your agency agrees or disagrees with the finding; if you disagree, briefly explain why): The department agrees with the finding but does not concur with the questioned costs. The Division of Public Assistance completes reconciliations between FIS daily transaction records and EBT Account Management Agent (AMA) data to ensure issuance accuracy. Corrective Action (corrective action planned): A workgroup identified the root causes of the discrepancies. A revised reporting process is being implemented to ensure all EBT payments are accurately captured, improving completeness and accuracy Daily reconciliations are now in place to support ongoing accuracy and reduce reliance on ad hoc reporting. As a result, the report previously developed for this audit by the EBT contractor, FIS, is not expected to be needed moving forward. Completion Date (list anticipated completion date): The department anticipates the finding will be resolved in FY2026. Agency Contact (name of person responsible for corrective action): Pam Halloran, Assistant Commissioner

Management’s Response and Corrective Action Plan: Management acknowledges the finding and agrees with the recommendation. Once notified of the stipend rate issue, management immediately corrected the allocation and ensured the unallowable portion was funded with non-Federal resources. To prevent future occurrences, SoFIA Management has reinforced controls by (1) requiring a compliance review of stipend rates before charging costs to the AmeriCorps award, (2) updating written procedures to reflect stipend limits, and (3) providing further training to program and finance staff. These measures will ensure that only allowable stipend costs are charged to the Federal program going forward. We are committed to maintaining strong fiscal controls and ensuring full compliance with all federal grant requirements. Contact and Completion Date: Cresha Reid, 954-484-7117, creid@thesofia.org, is the primary contact, and the Chief Executive Officer at the South Florida Institute on Aging.

The University acknowledges the audit finding and is committed to ensuring compliance with the procurement requirements outlined in 2 CFR 200.324 (a), which mandates that recipients perform a cost or price analysis for every procurement transaction exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold. During the audit period, it was identified that 4 sampled transactions exceeding the University’s simplified acquisition threshold of $50,000 lacked documented evidence of an independent cost or price analysis prior to March 31, 2025. In April 2025, the University remediated this policy and procedure. No exceptions were identified during the remediation period, and the finding is considered remediated. In April 2025, to address this finding and strengthen compliance, the University initiated the following corrective actions. First, the University worked with leadership to update its procurement policy to increase the simplified acquisition threshold to $250,000, aligning with federal guidelines. This change ensures that the University’s procurement processes are more consistent with federal standards. Second, a new requirement was implemented, mandating that a price analysis form be completed and retained for each procurement transaction exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold. This form documents the University’s independent price analysis. Third, the University provided targeted training to procurement staff and relevant stakeholders to ensure understanding and adherence to the updated policy and the new price analysis requirement. The training emphasized the importance of maintaining contemporaneous documentation in procurement files. Finally, the University implemented enhanced internal controls to ensure that all procurement transactions exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold are reviewed and approved by designated leadership, with documented evidence of a price analysis retained in the procurement files. Primary responsibility for implementing and monitoring this corrective action plan rests with Beth Connelly, Senior Director of Procurement Operations, 216-368-6332.

Condition: On May 15, 2025, ISBE communicated to the District that ARP ESSER recipients had until May 24, 2025 to liquidate obligations and that the District needed to submit its expenditure report to ISBE by May 21, 2025 for ISBE to process and submit to the U.S. Department of Education by the new deadline. On May 21, 2025, the District submitted a claim for reimbursement of expenditures totaling $4,343,814. The expenditures comprising this claim by date incurred and liquidated were as follows: $1,668,710 incurred through May 21, 2025 and liquidated as of that date $31,692 incurred through May 21, 2025 but not liquidated as of that date $325,805 incurred from May 21, 2025 through June 30, 2025 and liquidated as of June 30, 2025 $531,321 incurred from May 21, 2025 through June 30, 2025 but not liquidated as of June 30, 2025 $1,786,286 incurred after June 30, 2025 At May 21, 2025 and June 30, 2025, expenditures totaling $2,675,104 and 2,349,299, respectively, out of the $4,343,814 claimed for reimbursement were not incurred, not liquidated or both and, therefore, did not qualify for reimbursement based on the Federal statutes, regulations and the terms and conditions of the Federal award in effect at those dates.

Management concurs with the findings and auditors’ recommendations to enhance internal controls to ensure compliance with the RD requirements. Furthermore, we would like to note that the questioned costs was paid from project cash for the ultimate benefit of improving the property for the tenants. The substantial rehabilitation tax credit transaction planned by the owner is anticipated to start within the next fiscal year will significantly enhance the living standards and experience for the tenants. The funds used for purposes directly related to the operations of the project will be repaid with the planned closing of the Low-Income Housing tax credit transaction during fiscal year 2026 unless an approval is granted by RD for payment of the questioned costs that will ultimately benefit the tenants of Rotary Commons. Furthermore, internal controls over funds used for purposes unrelated to the Corporation are being strengthened to prevent future noncompliance.

Corrective Action Planned: Management reviewed this instance and performed a detailed analysis of our internal controls, procedures and other like transactions. Management concluded that it was an isolated incident that occurred due to the timing and processing of the voided transaction and the transition to a new grant year. Vivent Health has implemented additional controls including dual review of grant year-to-date expenditures and system and reporting enhancements that will identify and prevent changes related to prior periods. Specific steps taken are: 1) retrained accounts payable team on void check procedure, 2) implemented a system enhancement that does not permit a user to enter any transaction type to a prior month that has been closed (also planned for new financial system to be implemented by September 2026), 3) examined all void check transactions for any grant-related expenditures that crossed the last two fiscal years with no instance of duplicate invoicing identified, and 4) implemented dual review of running a YTD general ledger report for all grants and comparing total expenditures for the grant period versus total expenditures claimed in the prior month. Name(s) of Contact Person(s) Responsible for Corrective Action: Erin Crandall, VP Finance Anticipated Completion Date: These actions were implemented February 2026 and will be documented throughout the current fiscal year, with completion at fiscal year-end (August 31, 2026). Vivent Health is implementing a new ERP system in September 2026 and will ensure these controls are in place.

Views of Responsible Officials: Management concurs with the finding. During FY2025, the organization experienced significant disruption related to Federal stop-work orders and associated cost-reduction measures, including staff terminations and the discontinuation of certain legacy systems during the transition and integration of operations with Global Communities. As a result, for some employees in the audit sample—particularly those who separated from the organization prior to the FY2025 attestation cycle—management was unable to retrieve employee-signed conflict of interest attestations for the immediately preceding period because the systems and files used to capture and retain those acknowledgments were no longer accessible, and responsible personnel were no longer employed. Management notes that, for a portion of the employee population, the FY2025 ethics training included a conflicts of interest section requiring employee acknowledgment; however, system limitations affected the ability to produce individual, employee-named attestations for all sampled employees in a format suitable for audit evidence. Planned Corrective Actions: Following the operational integration with Global Communities, management is strengthening controls over conflict of interest compliance by: (1) requiring conflict of interest acknowledgment at onboarding and on a periodic basis thereafter through a standardized process; (2) maintaining a centralized tracking mechanism to monitor completion status; (3) retaining documentation in a centralized repository/personnel record to ensure retrievability; and (4) performing periodic monitoring to confirm completion and retention across headquarters and field locations. These actions are intended to improve documentation, transparency, and ongoing compliance with conflict of interest requirements and standards of conduct.

Views of Responsible Officials: Management concurs with the finding. During FY2025, in response to Federal stopwork orders and related cost reduction measures, IntraHealth experienced significant disruption, including staff terminations and the planned integration of operations with Global Communities. As part of this transition, the legacy timekeeping system was retired at the end of its renewal period, with the intent to move to Global Communities’ timekeeping process shortly thereafter. During the interim period, time for the remaining staff was captured using manual timesheets. In two instances, documented supervisory approval could not be located because the employees’ supervisor separated from IntraHealth during the transition period. Planned Corrective Actions: Effective April 1, 2025, all IntraHealth staff transitioned to Global Communities following the completion of operational integration, IntraHealth has transitioned to Global Communities’ timekeeping and payroll process using ADP, which includes electronic time entry, supervisor review/approval workflow, and centralized record retention. Management believes this materially strengthens controls by reducing reliance on manual documentation, and improving the retention and retrievability of approvals. Management will also reinforce the requirement that time records are approved prior to payroll processing and will perform periodic monitoring to confirm compliance with the approval control.
