Finding: 2022-003 – Payroll Documentation Auditor Description of Condition and Effect: Salaries and wages were allocated using percentages to distribute payroll costs allocated to grants. Costs were not consistently allocated to reflect the activity actually performed in five out of the six payroll cycles that we tested. The Organization did have a system of controls in place for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2022 requiring employees report time spent in specific areas on their timesheets. However, the control was overridden by management and was not applied on a consistent basis. There were payrolls tested where timesheet was not compared to payroll journals provided by the payroll service, the accounting records, or the reimbursement requests for grants. Payroll costs reflected in the books and records of the Organization did not agree to the payroll journals, timesheets, and reimbursement requests. This required the Organization to use spreadsheets and calculation to support grant funding requests. Some timesheets were found to be inaccurate, resulting in employee personnel costs being reimbursed without proper documentation. Auditor Recommendation: We recommend that the Organization improve its financial management policies and procedures to ensure that multiple staff members are involved in the process of reviewing and allocating personnel expenses to grants. Policies and procedures over payroll should include employees entering time accurately across areas where they spent time, supervisory review, recalculation and approval of timesheets, review of timesheets and compiled time reporting before it is sent to the payroll provider and review of the reporting provided after the payroll run. Payroll postings input into the accounting system should accurately reflect time spent in each grant area (class) and grant reporting and reimbursement requests should be prepared using those numbers. Corrective Action: SIREN will improve its internal controls and policies to ensure that multiple staff members are involved in the process of reviewing and allocating personnel expenses to grants. Multiple staff members will review and ensure that grant reporting and reimbursement requests are based on the actual payroll postings input into the accounting system.

RE: Pennsylvania Community Real Estate Corporation Corrective Action Plan Dear Sir or Madam: Pennsylvania Community Real Estate Corporation (PCRC) has taken action to address the issues identified by Snyder, Daitz and Company, 1617 John F Kennedy Blvd, Suite 720, Philadelphia, PA 19103. The information below outlines the actions that will be taken by PCRC staff. The findings shown below, were derived from the August 11, 2022 schedule of findings and questioned cost found by the auditor. The findings are numbered consistent with the numbers assigned in the schedule of findings. #2022-001 Payroll cost allocation calculations. Condition: During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021, several employees whose salaries were charged to multiple contracts were charged in total in excess of their total salary amount. This was primarily due to the adding of a portion of employees salaries to new contracts while not removing a corresponding amount from other contracts. Cause: The organization had significant turnover within its fiscal staff, with several Controllers and bookkeepers, including numerous temporary staff during 2020 and 2021. The numerous persons involved, often for a short period of time, led to staff members being uncertain as to all of the steps necessary in the allocation process. In addition, a separate allocation calculation is done for each contract which also contributed to the condition, allowing the calculation for one contract to be completed without making the necessary adjustments to other contracts. Recommendation: As part of its fiscal policies, the organization should consider listing the prioritized duties of each member of the fiscal staff, including the calculations of allocating costs. The allocation calculation should be done in one step covering the allocation to all contracts. This will enable fiscal staff to see and be sure that all expenses are fully charged to contracts allowable, and to be certain that expenses are not overbilled to contracts. Action Taken: A detailed spreadsheet has been created to list monthly salary cost billed for each employee. This will prevent duplicate billing. FY22 update. This has been completed effective July 2022.
