2022-003 Period of Performance USDOT Auditor?s Recommendation: PRCI management should develop and implement procedures and modify accounting structures to ensure compliance with period of performance requirements. Explanation of disagreement with the audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: PRCI has worked with the awarding agency to ensure that all grants are extended to an appropriate period of performance. PRCI additionally has reviewed the contracts with its vendors to ensure that they are billing timely for the contractual obligations of the grant awards. PRCI staff will work with USDOT staff to rectify any current contracted agreements where this same finding may exist in the future but acceptance for any agreement changes would be required by both parties.

Corrective Action Plan The Enterprise City Board of Education (the Board) respectfully submits the following corrective action plan for the year ended September 30, 2022. Carr, Riggs & Ingram, LLC 1117 Boll Weevil Circle Enterprise, AL 36330 The finding from the September 30, 2022 schedule of findings and questioned costs is discussed below. The finding is numbered consistent with the number assigned in the schedule. FINDINGS- FINANCIAL STATEMENT AUDIT No such findings in the current year. FINDINGS - FEDERAL AWARDS PROGRAM AUDITS Item 2022-001 - Special Tests and Provisions - Wage Rate Requirements Recommendation: 2 CFR 200.303 requires the non-Federal entity to "(a) establish and maintain effective internal controls over the Federal award that provides reasonable assurance that the non-Federal entity is managing the Federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of the Federal award." 2 CFR 200.326 and 29 CFR Part 5, Labor Standards Provisions Applicable to Contracts Governing Federally Financed and Assisted Construction (DOL Regulations) require the contractor or subcontractor to submit to the nonfederal entity weekly, for each week in which any contract work is performed, a copy of the payroll and a statement of compliance (certified payrolls). We recommend the strengthening of controls to ensure the prevailing wage rate clauses are included in the contracts and that certified payrolls are received for each week in which construction work is performed. The Chief School Financial Officer, Pam Christian, should review documentation for inclusion of the prevailing wage rate clauses in construction contracts as part of the bid process prior to expenditures being made. She should also review all invoices received from contractors and subcontractors to ensure that the certified payroll information is received for all weeks for which construction work is performed. Action Taken: Management has reviewed the requirements of 2 CFR Section 200.303 and 2 CFR 200.326 relating to wage rate requirements and agrees with the recommendation. Management will communicate with all contractors and subcontractors regarding the wage rate requirements and will implement additional procedures, effective May 1, 2023, stating that the Chief School Financial Officer, Pam Christian, will review documentation for inclusion of the prevailing wage rate clauses in construction contracts as part of the bid process prior to expenditures being made. She will also review all invoices received from contractors and subcontractors to ensure that the certified payroll information is received for all weeks for which construction work is performed.

Below we break down the Action Plan to address finding 2022-001. We must begin our comments by informing that, on December 28, 2022, the PRDOJ formalized a professional services contract number 2023-000067 with the company Aquino, De Cordova, Alfaro & Co., LLP (Independent Auditors) to carry out the Agency financial audit process for fiscal year 2021-2022. The clause number six of the contract required that the Independent Auditors submitted on or before March 31, 2023, the final Single Audit Report required as part of the audit process. However, the PRDOJ was obliged to extend the term of the contract because the Independent Auditors could not complete the contracted services and render the Single Audit Report within the stipulated term. The Independent Auditors indicated that the delay in the delivery of the Single Audit Report was since the audit process could not be started until the contract was signed and that the information was not received in a timely manner. Despite the reasons stated by the Independent Auditors, the reality is that the Independent Auditors undertook the contractual clauses agreed in the contract and between them, the agreement to submit the final Single Audit on or before March 31, 2023. Pursuant to the provisions of contract number 2023-000067, the administration of the PRDOJ was under the understanding that the Independent Auditors would comply with the delivery term of the SingleAudit Report within the agreed term. In this way, we ensured that we hired a firm that complied with the term to submit the Single Audit Report to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse provided in federal statute 45 CFR sec. 75.512. However, it is not until the end of the month of March that we become aware that the Independent Auditors could not meet the deadline of submitting the Single Audit Report. As a result of this, the PRDOJ had to extend the contract so that the Independent Auditors could complete the Single Audit Report, take internal measures to alleviate and address the delay, and submit the PRDOJ's Single Audit Report for fiscal year 2021 to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse. Under the contextual framework outlined above, we inform our corrective action plan to finding number 2022-01 presented in the Single Audit Report. First, the PRDOJ requested in June several proposals from Independent Auditors to carry out the Agency?s financial audit process for the 2022-2023 fiscal year. Consequently, a firm of Independent Auditors was selected, and we requested all the information and documentation required at the federal and state level to contract with the government. The contract was drafted in July and will soon be signed. In addition, the new contract provides that the Independent Auditor must submit the Single Audit Report to the PRDOJ on or before March 1, 2024. In this way, the PRDOJ will have the Single Audit Report in advance and, in this way, ensure that the document is submitted before March 31, 2024, to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse.This initiative goes hand in hand with the elaboration of a rigorous and meticulous work plan between the PRDOJ and the Independent Auditors with the delivery dates and exchange of information for the preparation of the Single Audit Report. The work plan provides that the audit process will begin as soon as the contract is signed in early August. For its part, the PRDOJ must submit all the required information to the Independent Auditors before the end of December. ? Regarding the internal administrative aspects of the PRDOJ to comply with this corrective action plan, we inform that we have designated an employee of the Agency to ensure that all our dependencies and their directors submit all the information required to the Independent Auditors on time on the stipulated dates. This includes, but is not limited to, all information in the preliminary PBC and any additional information that is required by the Independent Auditors. ? Likewise, this PRDOJ employee will serve as a link between the firm of Independent Auditors and the agencies of the agency that request information and documentation. Lastly, the PRDOJ official will ensure that the Independent Auditors firm submits the Single Audit Report to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse before March 31, 2024.This is a comprehensive corrective action plan that we have prepared in coordination with all the dependencies of the PRDOJ to guarantee faithful compliance with federal statutes.

Name and address of independent public accounting firm: Kern Thompson 1800 SW First Avenue, Suite 410 Portland, Oregon 97201 Audit Period: 07/01/2021 ? 06/30/2022 The findings from the schedule of findings and questioned costs are discussed below. The findings are numbered consistently with the numbers assigned in the schedule. Finding ? 2022-001 Criteria/Requirement: In accordance with 2.CFR?200.331, a pass-through entity must monitor the activities of subrecipients to ensure that federal awards are used for authorized purposes in compliance with laws, regulations, and the provisions of contracts and grants agreements. Condition/Context: Latino Network passed through $85,311 in funding to subrecipients. During our audit, we noted that the Latino Network did not have documented written controls or procedures to ensure compliance with the U.S. Office of Management and Budget?s Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance) subrecipient monitoring requirements. Cause: Procedures are not in place to ensure that Latino Network is maintaining adequate monitoring for each federal subrecipient. Effect: Failure to maintain sufficient subrecipient monitoring may result in the wrongful use of federal funds and non-compliance with the provisions of applicable requirements. Questioned Costs: $85,311 Recommendation: The Organization should establish written policies and procedures regarding the monitoring of subrecipients, as well as establish monitoring procedures to ensure that such policies and procedures are being followed. Management?s Response: We agree with the auditors' comments, and the following action will be taken to improve the situation. We will create and document the policies and procedures for effective monitoring of federally granted subrecipients by the end of the fiscal year. We will then perform monitoring of all federally granted subrecipients prior to our FY23 financial audit. Revisions to the users' manual will be made as needed to ensure the manual is current at all times. Grants & Contracts Accountants and Accounting Manager will be trained to perform federally granted subrecipient monitoring.

2022-005 U.S. Department of Justice Federal Financial Assistance Listing/Federal CFDA #16.575 Victims of Crime Act (VOCA) Activities Allowed or Unallowed and Allowable Costs/Costs Principles Significant Deficiency in Internal Control over Compliance Finding Summary: There were instances where the allocation did not follow the predetermined percentage split, but the allocation methodology and the reason for the allocation not following the predetermine percentage split was not documented. The grant does allow for changes to the allocation of certain expenditures. However, management was not documenting the reasons for the different allocation methods being used if the predetermine percentage split was not being followed. Without proper documentation, it is difficult to determine that a reasonable allocation of expenditures occurred. This could result in the granting agencies questioning the allocations and management may not be able to reproduce methodology or explain the allocation methodology being used. We recommend that the Organization document the allocation methodology being used for expenditures that relate to more than one grant, especially in cases where the predetermined allocation percentage is not being used.

Internal Control Finding: U.S. DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE Significant Deficiency- Crime Victim Assistance (16.575) 2022-003 Distribution of Allocable Costs Recommendation: In accordance with 2 CFR Part 230, the Organization should have a control policy to allocate costs that benefit both a federal program and other work in a manner that is reasonably proportionate to the benefits received. Corrective Action Plan: The Organization agrees with this finding and will establish procedures to determine an appropriate basis to allocate shared costs proportionate to the benefits received by the programs. The Organization implemented an allocation based on the square footage of the facility and the number of clients being served by each program. The basis of allocation was put into place and utilized beginning August of 2022.
