Upon identifying potentially unauthorized and fraudulent fund requests, all program office access to the USIO bank portal was immediately suspended. USIO debit card loads were centralized, and this process remains in place. b. Nine staff potentially involved in those activities were placed on leave during the investigation; five were eventually terminated. Following investigations, the IRC has made significant changes in leadership in structure in Northern California. By the end of June 2026, new Finance, Operations, and Program Delivery leadership will be in place, and the office will be broken down into two smaller offices, each with its own Executive Director. c. Working visits and in-person training on fraud prevention have been and will continue to be delivered to reinforce IRC’s compliance standards in all offices engaged in direct client payments. Additionally, network wide training are being provided focused on on compliance, CFR and fraud prevention for all staff. New policies on pre-paid cards and gift cards have also been issued. d. A Financial Analyst position was created under the RAI Head of Finance to focus on compliance. The analyst performs quarterly sample-based spot checks across all U.S. network offices, randomly selecting transactions for end-to-end review, including USIO payments. An automated tool also flags potential non-compliance issues such as irregular p-card payments and gift card purchases – vulnerabilities that could be exploited in NorCal-like situations. The RAI Head of Finance then compiles quarterly compliance reports for office leadership, highlighting areas for improvement. Anticipated Completion Date: June 30, 2026

Planned Corrective Action: After review, it was determined that the wrong indirect rate was applied to a project. The overcharged amount was $1,461.69. The prime of this project was an industry sponsor and a CRADA was necessary for this work to be completed. It is the belief of the current OSRI management that the error accurred due to confusion that the funds came from an industry sponsor and not a federal agency. To correct this error, management will issue a payment of $1,461.69 to the sponsor. Planned Implementation Date of Corrective Action: Three inquiries were made by CBIZ on 1/5/26 regarding indirects charged by OSRI. On 1/6/26 OSRI management responded clearing up two of the three inquiries showing that the total indirects charged based on direct numbers were correct and that an adjustment had been made during the fiscal year in question to correct prior short falls. After a thorough review of the third inquiry, OSRI management on 1/8/26 reached out to the industry sponsor to inform them of our error and payment reimbursement was initiated. On 1/16/26 the industry sponsor confirmed receipt and cashed check for reimbursement.

During our audit procedures, we identified differences between the amounts reported as current period expenditures, and the amounts recognized in the accounting system. Additionally, during the fiscal year the Municipality received new funds called Service of Excellence to Citizens also related to the Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds Program. This allocation was granted through the Puerto Rico Fiscal Agency and Financial Advisory Authority. In our Reporting Test, we evaluated six (6) reports and could not validate their submission. Auditor’s Recommendations: We recommend training for the authorized personnel who administer the program, to better understand the reporting requirements and prepare timely reports. The Municipality should establish a monitoring system to ensure compliance with requirements established by the passthrough agency such as: submitting the reports during the required time frame and where the fund expenses will be reported as incurred. This will ensure better control of the program. Corrective Action: The authorized personnel understand the reporting requirements. We are in the process of training additional personnel to have more resources to comply with all reporting requirements. The Finance Department is working with external consultants to address this situation, and be able to comply with all reports as required.

BSFA has not previously been in a situation where BSFA funded a contractor in the absence of the federal government’s inability to enter into a contractual agreement (due to the Trump Administrations strict limitations on entering into contractual agreements). The inability to demonstrate that costs were incurred lies with the contractor wherein we were unable to obtain from them their spending down the funds provided as originally agreed upon. We do not anticipate another instance such as this though we will implement stronger controls over contract payments in the future so expenditures are supported by documentation showing costs were incurred within the approved period of performance.

FINDING 2025-002 Finding Subject: Special Education Cluster (IDEA)- Earmarking Summary of Finding: The School Corporation is a member of the Greater Lafayette Area Special Services Cooperative (Cooperative). During fiscal years 2023-2024, the Cooperative operated the special education programs and spent the federal money on behalf of all of its members. As the grant agreements were between the Indiana Department of Education (IDOE) and each member school, the School Corporation was responsible for ensuring and providing oversight of the Cooperative. However, there was inadequate oversight performed by the School Corporation in order to ensure compliance with the Matching, Level of Effort, Earmarking compliance requirement. The School Corporation did not have internal controls in place to ensure that the Cooperative complied with the earmarking requirements. The Cooperative did not have adequate procedures in place to ensure that the required level of expenditures for nonpublic school students with disabilities was met for each member school. The Cooperative did not have effective internal controls to ensure nonpublic school expenditures were appropriately identified and reported. The Non-Public Proportionate Share expenditures for the 22611-021-PN01, 22611-021-ARP, 22619-021- ARP, 23611-021-PN01, and 23619-021-PN01 grant awards could not be verified for the individual member schools. Total grant expenditures were posted as expended. The nonpublic proportionate share expenditures were determined by applying a percentage to the nonpublic school budgeted expenditures. As such, we were unable to identify if the minimum amount per the grant awards was expended and properly reported to the IDOE as required. The lack of internal controls and noncompliance were isolated to the 22611-021-PN01, 22611-021-ARP, 22619-021-ARP, 23611-021-PN01, and 23619-021-PN01 grant awards.

The GLASS Cooperative did not have adequate procedures in place to ensure that the required level of expenditures for non-public school students with disabilities was met for each member school. The Cooperative did not have effective internal controls to ensure non-public school expenditures were appropriately identified and reported. The methodology used by the Cooperative to monitor non-public proportionate share expenditures was based upon a percentage for each school corporation that comprises the Cooperative rather than basing the expenditures off of the grant award for each non-public school within the geographical boundaries of the school corporations. While all proportionate share funds were expended, it was problematic in determining if the minimum amount per the grant awards was expended and properly reported prior to July 1, 2024. Description of Corrective Action Plan: The former Director of GLASS retired June 30, 2023. Upon hire on July 1, 2023, the new director immediately implemented measures to correct the previous methodology used at GLASS. Non-public proportionate share funds are identified and reported based upon the grant award for each school corporation. The expenditures are based upon the geographical location of the non-public school and the corresponding public school corporation, not based upon the “home” school corporation of the student. This process was implemented and descriptions were included on the ledgers to identify non-public school proportionate share for grants that were initiated during the FY 2024-2025 school year. Anticipated Completion Date: The corrective action was already put into place on July 1, 2023 and implemented with FY 2024-2025. The audit finding reflects the previous grant cycle for 2022 grants and 2023 grants, which is prior to this action taken.

Finding 2025-003 Duplicate expenditures charged to same grant Recommendation: We recommend the District establish and maintain proper review procedures for expenditures charged to grants prior to submission for reimbursement. Management’s View: The District will strengthen internal controls over payroll expenditures charged to federal grants by implementing a standard operating procedure that will be conducted by the Payroll Specialist of verifying payroll distribution reports, funding codes, and supporting documentation prior to submission for payment. Before each payroll is finalized, the payroll specialist will run a payroll report that will be generated and sorted by employee to verify that no duplicate charges have been applied to the same grant within the same payroll period. This review will ensure that all costs charged to federal grants during the pay period are accurate, allowable, properly coded, and not duplicated. No payroll adjustments will be keyed until timesheets have been verified against previously submitted timesheets and that they are reviewed to confirm that prior entries have not already been charged to the same grant. Additionally, a secondary review by the accountant will be conducted prior to finalizing grant-related payrolls. Effective March 1, 2026, the Payroll Accountant and Chief Financial Officer will review grant-related payroll transactions to ensure accuracy, proper funding allocation, and compliance with applicable federal requirements. Effective Date: March 1, 2026 Contact Person: Sylvia Garza, Chief Financial Officer, Edcouch-Elsa Independent School District

Heading Home management is in agreement with this finding. After years of turnover in key management positions steps have been taken to address staffing challenges and these positions have been successfully staffed with high-quality individuals who bring extensive knowledge and expertise to their roles. These positions include a new Chief Executive Officer, Director of Operations, Chief Financial Officer, and Director of Human Resources. To address challenges in accounting and finance Heading Home had contracted with a local CPA firm specializing in nonprofit accounting and financial reporting to assist the CFO with daily accounting tasks, the monthly close, financial reporting to management and the board of directors, and to facilitate and ensure audits are completed timely each year. The new management group is committed to maintaining a skilled and competent team in key financial roles. Due to the backlog of billings at the opening of FY24, the quarterly reports for the first quarter were submitted late. With the new staff and assistance, these billings and quarterly reports were brought current as quickly as possible. They are now current and being submitted in a timely manner. Management’s corrective action plan was fully implemented by June 30, 2025, and anticipate that there will be no further issues. Personnel responsible for ensuring implementation include Connie Chavez, Chief Executive Officer, and Debbie Brickman, Chief Financial Officer.

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.
