Condition Upon review of the indirect cost calculations throughout the fiscal year, it was noted that there was no documentation of review and approval of three of the seven calculations tested. The auditors were able to review the drawdown reconciliations performed by the Caminar Latino and determine the reports were materially accurate; however, no evidence of a formal supervisory review and approval of the reconciliation was maintained on-file in these three instances. Correction action As of Q4 2022, the Atlanta-based Co-CEO and the Chief of Programs and Administration have instituted a process of review and approval of drawdown reconciliations prior to drawdown to review for accuracy of calculations and to ensure that previous drawdown amounts are accurately recorded. A Finance Manager was hired in April 2023, and the responsibility of ongoing drawdown reconciliation and calculation of invoice amounts has shifted to the Finance Manager position. Monthly invoices and drawdowns are being reviewed and approved by the Co-CEO and Chief of Programs and Administration prior to drawdown. Responsible Person Co-CEO and Chief of Programs and Administration Anticipated completion date Completed - This process is currently in place.

Criteria Under the Uniform Guidance (2 CFR Part 200, Subpart E), recipients of federal awards must maintain documentation to support costs charged to federal programs, including indirect costs. The documentation should demonstrate that costs are allocable, allowable, and in accordance with the approved indirect cost rate agreement, if applicable. Condition and Context QCHC was unable to provide sufficient records to substantiate costs charged to federal grants. As a result, we were unable to determine the accuracy or allowability of both direct and indirect costs recorded. Furthermore, due to this lack of supporting documentation, we could not verify whether indirect costs were charged, nor could we confirm that any indirect cost calculations were based on an appropriate and complete base of direct costs or were calculated properly in accordance with the approved indirect cost rate agreement. Recommendation We recommend that management implement procedures to ensure that all indirect costs claimed under federal grants are supported by adequate documentation, including detailed allocation methodologies and supporting records, in accordance with federal regulations. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions QCHC acknowledges the finding and has implemented the following corrective actions: I. QCHC has implemented Section 600- Cost Accounting Policies of the Accounting Manual, which deals with the measurement, assignment and allocation of costs to various cost objectives. 2. QCHC has established Policy 619- Direct and Indirect Costs, which requires that costs benefiting more than one cost objective be consistently treated as indirect costs, and costs necessary for the overall operation of the organization be treated as management and general costs.3. QCHC has implemented the Draw Down Policy & Procedure (Policy #308 DRAWDOWN) which establishes that expenditures of Federal award funds are monitored and allowable in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Federal award and with the federal cost principles in CFR Part 75 Subpart E. 4. QCHC has established Policy 303 - Incurred Cost, which requires that outlays or expenditures represent charges made to the project or program and may be reported on an accrual basis. 5. QCHC has implemented procedures to maintain detailed records of all direct and indirect costs charged to federal grants, including detailed allocation methodologies and supporting records, in accordance with federal regulations.
Criteria In accordance with the Uniform Guidance, the costs charged to federal funds must comply with the cost principles of 45 CFR Part 75, Subpart E, and any other requirements or restrictions on the use of federal funding. Condition and Context QCHC was unable to provide the approval of timesheet...
Criteria In accordance with the Uniform Guidance, the costs charged to federal funds must comply with the cost principles of 45 CFR Part 75, Subpart E, and any other requirements or restrictions on the use of federal funding. Condition and Context QCHC was unable to provide the approval of timesheets and the payroll allocation for 60 selections for payroll control testing. Recommendation We recommend that management implement procedures to ensure that timesheets and related approvals are adequately maintained and supported. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions QCHC acknowledges the finding and has implemented the following corrective actions: 1. QCHC has implemented Policy 911 - Labor Distribution Reporting, which establishes that charges to awards for salaries and wages, whether treated as direct costs or indirect costs, will be based on documented payrolls approved by a responsible supervisory official. 2. QCHC has established that employees are responsible to use the ADP time clock to record their time worked, with supervisors/managers having full access to monitor their department time in/out and leave. 3. QCHC has implemented the Draw Down Policy & Procedure (Policy #308 DRAWDOWN) which establishes that salary and wage charges are supported by a system of internal controls which provides reasonable assurance that they are accurate, allowable, properly allocated and in compliance with the organization's policies and procedures. 4. QCHC has established that employee timesheets are completed electronically and supervisors approve hours worked which are processed by the Accounts Payable Manager, with a salary allocation maintained to track and reconcile the assignment of the Organization's salaries and wages to all grant programs. 5. QCHC has implemented Policy 917 -Timely Submission of Timesheets and Penalties, which establishes that until an accurate and complete timesheet is submitted to the payroll clerk, an employee will not be paid during that pay cycle.

Criteria Recipients of federal grants are required by federal regulations (Uniform Guidance, 2 CPR Part 200) to maintain documentation demonstrating that cash receipts correspond to drawdowns based on actual, allowable costs incurred. Drawdowns for Federal awards should be properly supported with relevant forms and reports to substantiate the costs incurred and evidence management review and approval. Condition and Context For the year ended July 31, 2021, QCHC recorded cash receipts related to their federal awards totaling $3,535,567. However, QCHC was unable to provide evidence that these amounts represent drawdowns from the federal grants. The only available documentation substantiates the receipt of cash, without linking it to eligible grant expenditures. Recommendation We recommend that management establish procedures to ensure that documents supporting all drawdown requests are properly retained. Such requests should also be reviewed and approved prior to the request being made, with this approval documented and retained. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions QCHC acknowledges the finding and has implemented the following corrective actions: l. QCHC has implemented the Draw Down Policy & Procedure (Policy #308 DRAWDOWN) which establishes that drawdown of Federal funds must be made in accordance with the immediate needs of the award terms, to minimize time between request and expenditures, and funds will not be drawn down 5 business days prior to disbursement. 2. QCHC has established procedures requiring the preparation of a justification table of all staff members allocated to the federal grant fund, division of annual salaries by 26 pay periods per year, and preparation of SF-270 (Request for Advance or Reimbursement). 3. QCHC has established that the Chief Financial Officer is responsible for monitoring program cash flow needs and submitting drawdown requests in a timely manner to assure adequate coverage of program needs. 4. QCHC has implemented a review and approval process requiring the Chief Financial Officer and Chief Executive Officer to review, approve and execute the applicable drawdown. 5. QCHC has established that HRSA expenses are tracked in the accounting system by revenue source fund codes by the HRSA budget name, with accounts receivable related to grants recorded when a copy of the HRSA request is received.

The Crater Regional Workforce Development Board obtained a waiver beginning in PY24 to service the WIOA Title 1 Program (instead of using an outside service provider as was the case for PY21) which has led to additional internal controls including but not limited to: 1. Streamlining of enrollment to a singular assigned staff who has been trained specifically around enrollment/eligibility criteria. 2. Review of every enrollment by CRWDB leadership staff directly after enrollment to identify and correct any missing information. 3. Audit of every file open during the course of a program year at least 2 times during that PY by staff other than the staff who completed the initial enrollment.

Finding 2021-004 Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Federal Program Titles: Housing Voucher Cluster and Public and Indian Housing Program Assistance Listing Numbers: 14.871, 14.879, and 14.850 Material Noncompliance Non Compliance Material to the Financial Statements: Yes Material Weakness in Internal Control over Compliance Criteria: The Authority must maintain complete and accurate accounts and other records for the program in accordance with HUD compliance requirements. Condition: The Authority did not maintain complete and accurate accounts and other records in accordance with HUD compliance requirements including Activities Allowed or Unallowed, Allowable Costs/Cost Principles, Eligibility, Reporting, and Special Tests and Provisions. Context: The Authority was unable to provide requested documentation at the time of audit to properly test the HUD compliance requirements. Known Questioned Costs: Unknown Cause: There is a material weakness in internal controls over compliance related to the maintenance of tenant files, wait lists, inspection reports and other records. The Authority has not properly considered, designed, implemented, maintained and monitored a system of internal controls that reasonably assures the program is in compliance. Effect: The Housing Voucher Cluster and Public and Indian Housing Program are in material non- compliance with the compliance requirements of the program. Recommendation: We recommend that the Authority implement a process whereby Authority documents are stored and safeguarded to ensure compliance with the Uniform Guidance and the compliance supplement. View of Responsible Officials and Corrective Actions: The Authority experienced significant turnover in employees during the year and as a result certain source documents were misplaced or destroyed. Management agrees with the Auditors' finding and has hired a new Executive Director who will implement the required safeguards and ensure that the Authority follows its internal control over compliance processes and procedures related to the Housing Voucher Cluster and Public and Indian Housing Programs to remedy the aforementioned deficiencies. Byran McClellan, CFO, will be responsible to implement this corrective action by December 31, 2022.

Department of Housing and Urban Development and Department of Veterans Affairs Federal Program Name: Emergency Solutions Grant Program and VA Homeless Providers Grant and Per Diem Program Assistance Listing Number: 14.231 and 64.024 Recommendation: We recommend the Organization develop a system of internal controls to ensure that salaries and related payroll expenses are tracked to reasonably reflect the actual time spent working on the programs. In addition we recommend that management retain all documents including evidence of review and approval for all expenditures of federal funds until the latter of the legally required retention period or completion of required audits. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: Management has implemented internal control procedures to strengthen payroll allocation practices and documentation retention for federally funded expenditures. The Organization has established a process to ensure that salaries and payroll-related costs charged to federal programs are supported by appropriate time tracking and allocation documentation that reasonably reflects actual time worked on each program. Supervisory review and approval requirements have been implemented to validate payroll allocations and supporting documentation. Additionally, the Organization has reinforced documentation retention standards by requiring retention of all federal expenditure support, including invoices, approvals, reconciliations, and evidence of review, in accordance with federal retention requirements and audit availability standards.
