2025-017 ALLOWABLE COSTS/COST PRINCIPLES DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN SERVICES (DOHS) Assistance Listing Number: 93.659 DOHS maintains a multi-layered review process for P-card payments. While documentation for the two specific transactions totaling $26 was unavailable at the time of the audit, these transactions were processed through the same automated financial system that enforces budgetary limits and eligibility checks for all validated cases. Due to current system configurations, P-card transactions must be processed even when documentation is missing. According to the internal controls, any transaction not properly reconciled is marked “Admin Not Reconciled”. This designation indicates the DOHS is aware of the missing documentation, which, according to policy, becomes the cardholder’s responsibility. The Office of Shared Administration (OSA) P-card Division provides reconciliation dates and notifies coordinators of any unreconciled transactions. If a cardholder loses a receipt, they are permitted to submit a lost receipt memo detailing the purchase, accompanied by a supervisor’s signature. The P-card Division has recently begun working closely with the DOHS’s internal purchasing card audit section within the OSA Office of Accountability and Management Reporting (OAMR) to mitigate reconciliation errors. OAMR reviews transactions for accuracy and completeness. Through this coordinated effort, missing documentation or errors are investigated and brought to management’s attention. DOHS will continue to issue monthly notifications to staff emphasizing that all P-card expenditures must be reconciled with proper documentation within one week of the cycle end date. Reconciliations must be electronically reviewed and approved by a supervisor to verify the allowability of costs. To mitigate noncompliance, the P-card Division will work with OAMR to monitor repeated occurrences. Persistent failure to provide documentation or obtain approval may result in the temporary suspension of purchasing privileges. These measures ensure that documentation is maintained, reviewed, and readily available for future audits.

2025-015 ALLOWABLE COSTS/COST PRINCIPLES, ELIGIBILITY DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH & HUMAN SERVICES (DOHHS) Assistance Listing Number: 93.658 DOHHS’s corrective action plan from the prior audit indicated that a system change was made during FY 2025 to prevent future payments to psychiatric facilities from being charged to the Foster Care program. This change did go into effect on September 19, 2024. However, this provider was an anomaly. The facility was a Residential Treatment Facility which was Title IV-E eligible until they received Psychiatric Residential Treatment Facility (PRTF) status in August of 2024, however, they did not provide DOHHS documentation until February 2025. Immediate action was taken by a call ticket to the Technical Call Center to ensure that the PRTF was not continuing to show as IV-E eligible. The staff from the Division of Regulatory Management will continue, as part of their annual licensing review will ensure wvPATH provider records are updated to reflect timely licensing status as well as ensuring that child specific agreements do not lapse. The previously stated Corrective Action Plan remains in place and will continue.

2025-001 – Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act (FFATA) Reporting Auditor Description of Criteria, Condition, and Effect: Under the requirements of the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act, direct recipients of grants or cooperative agreements are required to report first-tier subawards of $30,000 or more to the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act Subaward Reporting System (FSRS). Direct recipients must report key data elements by registering through the FSRS and reporting subaward data through that system. Direct recipients that are awarded a federal grant are required to file a FFATA sub-award report by the end of the month following the month in which the prime awardee awards any sub-grant equal to or greater than $30,000. The City did not submit the required key data elements through the FSRS reporting system as required by the Uniform Guidance and as a result has not completed the appropriate sub-award reporting that is required for direct recipients. Auditor Recommendation: We recommend that the City review its procedures for FFATA reporting through FSRS and ensure that all key data elements are reported timely moving forward. Corrective Action: Upon discovery of the issue in November 2025, City staff corrected the noncompliance by submitting the required report to the appropriate reporting system/entity. To prevent recurrence, management has strengthened internal controls over FFATA reporting and Single Audit preparation by (1) adding review and verification steps, (2) communicating expectations with key personnel, and (3) explicitly assigning submission responsibility to a designated submitter who is independent of the individual(s) responsible for monitoring compliance. These control enhancements are expected to identify and prevent similar deficiencies and, based on implementation to date, appear to be operating effectively. Responsible Person: Jason Denton, Controller Anticipated Completion Date: June 30, 2026

Condition: The controls in place to review the final grant packet, including the grant draw-down template and the drawdown invoice detail, prior to final processing of the drawdown were not operating as designed. Planned Corrective Action: Treasury will work with PMM and DCC departments to out-line a process to ensure accurate reporting of eligible expenses when invoices are re-viewed for compliance with grant program requirements. The process will be documented and adhered to once agreed by all departments. A review process for the final drawdown submission will also be adopted to ensure costs that are identified as ineligible are appro-priately excluded from the final submission.

Since the prior audit period, management has taken steps to establish procedures and internal controls to ensure consistent application, billing, and reporting of indirect cost rates across all federal awards. Such steps include defining and documenting roles and responsibilities for applicable staff members during each phase of the grants management lifecycle, as well as implementing procedures and tools to ensure compliance with subrecipient monitoring requirements. These steps involve multiple levels of review for accurate and consistent application of indirect cost rates. Finance will continue implementing the corrective actions necessary to achieve effective controls over compliance with indirect cost rate requirements. Policy and procedures on allowable and allocable costs will be drafted to clearly document how direct and indirect costs will be billed to federal awards. Training will be provided to relevant staff members to ensure accurate implementation and ongoing compliance. These actions will improve our ability to manage indirect costs effectively and ensure compliance with federal requirements. The anticipated completion date remains June 30, 2026.

Corrective Action Plan Single Audit Finding 2025-001: Internal Controls over Allowable Costs/Activities Plan: The IFA acknowledges the importance of internal controls and appropriate segregation of duties ensuring the review and approval process for Authority financial transactions (i.e., expenditures applied to corresponding grants are allowable; month-end financial entries; etc.). With recent staff additions, IFA has enhanced its internal control environment by implementing a review/authorization process to ensure the preparation and approval of journal entries (i.e., month-end, etc.) occurs in accordance of established internal controls and appropriate segregation of duties (e.g., month-end journal entries prepared by the IFA SVP-FA are reviewed and approved by the IFA Chief Operating Officer, or appropriate designee). Since manual or adjusting journal entries are information processing activities that carry higher risk, a review of journal entries after posting serve as acceptable verification control in accordance with the United States Government Accountability Office Standards for Internal Control in the Federal Government that helps ensure transactions are appropriate. These post-entry reviews represent an acceptable form of management oversight (Principle 16) and serve as an acceptable validation check (Principle 10) to confirm that entries align with supporting documentation, reconcile with expectations, and aligned with organizational directives.

Finding 2025-001: Allowable cost and activities – Significant deficiency in internal controls over compliance. Management Response: The School has implemented procedures to ensure that invoices are approved prior to being paid. Expenses are reviewed and approved through the PO process within the Ascender System. Each request is evaluated for accurate account coding, appropriateness, and compliance with Federal Grant allowable costs (when necessary). Spending and allowable costs are closely monitored on an ongoing basis. Once orders have been placed, products have been received/services rendered, and invoices received, the accounting clerk will prepare documents for the check run. A “check payments” report is provided which lists all transactions for the check run. The “check payments” document clearly displays the vendor, account code, and amount of each transaction. The “check payments” report is approved by Superintendent. Once “check payment” report is approved by Superintendent, the check run will be initiated. Documentation of prior approval will be kept on file. The new process began in March 2025. Responsible Party: Kemlyn Williams, Superintendent Dynamic Support Solutions, Contract CFO

During the period under review, the organization experienced turnover in the accounting position, which impacted continuity in grant reporting processes. In addition, VOCA grant funding administered through JCS (the grantor) transitioned from an advance payment method to a reimbursement-based payment structure. This change significantly affected the timing and presentation of expenditures reported on monthly financial reports. Management would like to clarify that the revisions made to all 12 reports were not the result of unallowable or unsupported costs. As noted in the audit, there were no questioned costs. The grantor adjusted the reports primarily due to the shift in payment methodology and reconciliation of prior-year unexpended funds. In several instances, JCS modified invoice amounts after submission to align with its updated reimbursement process and internal grant tracking. These post-submission adjustments were administrative in nature and not attributable to improper expenditure classification or misuse of grant funds by the organization. We recognize, however, that stronger internal review controls could have reduced the need for grantor-initiated revisions. To address this matter and strengthen compliance EPEC, has instituted a double check procedure on invoices.
