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.

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.

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.
