The organization has established financial policies and procedures. However, we recognize that these policies do not fully address all areas specific to federal grant requirements. As a relatively new organization, we understand the importance of enhancing these frameworks to ensure full compliance with federal guidelines and properly manage federal funds. We are committed to addressing this gap and will take immediate action to develop and implement comprehensive policies and procedures that fully comply with all applicable federal grant requirements. We anticipate that this process will be completed within three months, with oversight from senior management to ensure its thoroughness and effectiveness. In addition, key financial processes, including disbursements, payroll, and grants management, will be updated and aligned with these new policies to ensure sound fiscal management and maintain ongoing compliance with federal standards

Recipients are required to submit quarterly or annually Project and Expenditure (P&E) Reports to the Department of the Treasury (Treasury).

The County's process for the completion and submission of the P&E Reports was that the County Auditor prepared each P&E Report based on the County's Financial Ledgers, without a proper oversight or review process in place prior to submission. All four quarterly reports that were due during the audit period were not properly supported by the County's records Contact Person Responsible for Corrective Action: Timothy Stabosz Contact Phone Number and Email Address: 219-326-6808 x2226 tstabosz@laporteco.in.gov Views of Responsible Officials: We concur with the finding.

Description of Finding: The allocation of payroll costs to programs are done manually instead of done based on entity-wide timesheets Statement of Concurrence or Nonconcurrence: The California Asian Pacific Chamber of Commerce (CalAsian) agrees with the finding. Corrective Action: CalAsian acknowledges the serious nature of this finding and the potential for damage to relationships with the grantors and Federal entities. The Interim Controller and Director of Finance are currently implementing an ERP system which will allow for better cost collection, reporting and reviews of the grant-related expenses for accuracy, reliability, and reconciliation. We also understand these findings are repetitive from the 2021 audit; however, due to catch-up of the prior year audits, we were unable to address these issues prior to completion of the 2022 audit. This delay was caused by a change in auditors as our previous auditor did not have the capacity to retain us as clients due to staff shortages related to COVID. A subcontractor has been retained to assist with providing information for the 2023 audit to bring the audits current. The ERP system includes electronic timesheets for daily charging to specific grants, as well as more visibility into the proper separation of direct, indirect, and unallowable costs per the CFR. Timesheet training has been performed and timesheet completion is required for all employees each day. This will begin on 1/1/2025 and will provide support for hours worked/billed, as well as document the certification and approvals that all time entered is accurate and in compliance with contract requirements. and provide proper support for all grant labor costs and indirect costs. An indirect cost pool allocation structure is being designed and implemented to properly allocate the allowable indirect costs to each work effort, including Fringe, Overhead and G&A. This proposed structure and rates will be submitted for approval in 2025 for use in billing the contracts properly. Monthly reviews by the Project Directors/Managers plus Accounting will be performed to identify any potential cost charging issues and corrective action(s) required.

Description of Finding: Expenditure detail does not support the amounts billed Statement of Concurrence or Nonconcurrence: The California Asian Pacific Chamber of Commerce (CalAsian) agrees with the finding. Corrective Action: CalAsian acknowledges the serious nature of this finding and the potential for damage to relationships with the grantors and Federal entities. The Interim Controller and Director of Finance are working to secure an ERP system which will allow for better cost collection, reporting and reviews of the grant-related expenses for accuracy, reliability, and reconciliation. We also understand these findings are repetitive from the 2021 audit; however, due to catch-up of the prior year audits, we were unable to address these issues prior to completion of the 2022 audit. This delay was caused by a change in auditors as our previous auditor did not have the capacity to retain us as clients due to staff shortages related to COVID. A subcontractor has been retained to assist with providing information for the 2023 audit to bring the audits current. The auditors tested 84% of the total 2021 total direct grant expenditures and this issue was isolated to one payroll entry for $2,500.00, which is a result of a one-time, non-recurring clerical error. No issues were noted in the 2022 audit work related to this finding. We are currently analyzing and ensuring revenue and expenses for grants in 2023 and 2024 have proper recognition and billing of accurate and complete costs. This issue will be further mitigated with the implementation of the new accounting system on 1/1/2025. The ERP system includes electronic timesheets for daily charging to specific grants, as well as more visibility into the proper separation of direct, indirect, and unallowable costs per the CFR. Timesheet training has been performed and timesheet completion is required for all employees beginning on 1/1/2025.

Condition and Context: The System did not complete the PRF Periods 2 and 3 reporting in accordance with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services guidance. The System did not enter the correct amounts from its data supporting lost revenues for all quarters. We note that many of these amounts carried forward in the PRF reports from errors made in the PRF Period 1 reporting. The adjustments needed within the PRF reports to correct the errors noted for PRF Periods 2 and 3 are as follows: (1) lost revenues for the period of availability should decrease from $13,866,058 to $2,405,798 and (2) unused lost revenues should decrease from $12,493,140 to $1,032,880. Furthermore, errors in reporting total revenues by quarter led to errors in the allocation among payers by quarter. Corrective Action Plan: System management agrees with the finding and has updated its lost revenue calculation, with cumulative amounts through Period 6 reporting. While management did attempt to update its lost revenue amounts with filing of its Period 4 reports, additional data entry errors were made. As such, the lost revenue schedules maintained by the System (which are available upon request) provide the final source of information related to the calculation of lost revenue by quarter, by entity, and by payor.

When we initially did this, I spoke with the director at the Federal Forestry Office in Jackson, MS. He told me we could purchase the fire truck because the fire department joined the National Forest. We did not realize that once we had permission we had to advertise in the local paper. The local paper did state in the weekly report that the Board had approved to purchase the truck with no feedback from any individual. We are aware of the correct process now and will adhere to that going forward.
