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.

Grantee Response and Corrective Action Plan: We concur with this finding and have implemented measures to mitigate the repetition of additional occurrences. In July 2023, a new policy was implemented that requires employees to record their time as a percentage across all grants in which they work. The employee records this allocation at least weekly within a time keeping software system. Employees and supervisors are now required to review and acknowledge payroll allocations across grants by signing weekly timesheets. Timesheets will be retained and used as backup by the Grants Department when invoicing the Grantor for expense reimbursement. In addition, we have updated our Policy and Procedures Manual to reflect this policy.

The following errors were noted: 1 – Check amount did not agree with invoice amount for mileage reimbursement. 1 – Missing or incomplete documentation 1 – Check request was not signed by supervisor 1 – Check did not clear the bank within a reasonable time Corrective Action: Management has established the proposed controls included in the previous audit, which match the Recommendations outlined in the Federal Awards Findings and Questioned Costs document: Management created a review tool checklist of all required forms for the frontline staff to use as reference, for the Housing Coordinator to review assistance requests and client charts; and for leadership to conduct randomized internal audits; updated the training curriculum for Housing Department staff; new frontline staff has been hired, and trained to include clarification of compliance elements, the rationale and their importance, and which forms satisfy each one. Management also decided to overhaul all department forms and has begun a review process. The goal is for the process to be completed, and new forms implemented, by November 1st, 2023. In addition, management has implemented review of outstanding checks on a monthly basis as part of the reconciliation process. This has already helped management identify landlords who do not deposit checks in a timely manner, which results in outreach from the Housing Coordinator to confirm they received the check, and to request that they deposit it ASAP. Lastly, the Director of Finance has streamlined the payment process by implementing the use of direct deposits to make rent payments, which many landlords have already enrolled in. Management will continue encouraging enrollment in the direct deposit payment model, and will gradually phase out rent payments by check. The results of the improved controls, and the direct deposit rent payment model, will be reflected in the FY 2022-23 Single Audit. As was explained in the previous corrective action (Finding 2022-002), some of these improvements were implemented in the first quarter of calendar year 2023.

2022-004- Internal Control Over Compliance and Compliance – Activities Allowed or Unallowed and Allowable Costs/ Cost Principles Contact: Jordan Kramer Title: Chief Financial Officer Phone Number: 202-624-7787 Anticipated Completion Date: Done. Management’s Corrective Action Plan: Since August 2022, in response to technical issues with an import file that caused some timesheet allocations to not be correctly coded, the CFO has added a layer of review for payroll entries to match import file values to approved timesheets. NGA accounting team members began to train and reach out to employees to reinforce the importance of completing timesheets accurately and promptly following NGA employee policies. NGA accounting since February 2023, has completed the indirect cost, compensated absences, and fringe calculations as a part of the same process for uploading payroll entries. This ensures that the calculations are accurately calculated based on the payroll file. This has ensured that these entries are produced each payroll period and correspond to supervisor-approved timesheets under 2 CFR 200.430 Compensation – Personal Services.
