Agency: National Center for the Advancement of STEM Education, Inc. (nCASE)
Person Responsible for Corrective Action:
Name: Nancy Priselac
Title: Executive Director
Anticipated Completion
Date: December 8, 2023
Response to Finding: Management concurs with audit recommendation. Correction Action to be Taken:
nCASE has written policies and procedures that detail how management is to review and approve documentation relating to payroll and how reports are created that confirm charges are accurate, allowable, and properly allocated as well as allow for clear comparisons to estimates. Management created timekeeping documents to track employee labor, time and effort. nCASE’s accounting system matches charges listed to documentation used to collect and record time and effort by employees and apply designations to its respective project/label. The system can track direct, indirect, and fringe benefit designations. Accounting data now allows management to create clear reports on payroll. nCASE has implemented documentation that allows employees to track time and labor in detail of project. Management has written policies and procedures that direct employees on how to record time and labor.
DoD has reviewed the matters covered in the audit report thoroughly, and the grant was closed out without any repayment of funds to DoD. Upon subsequent review and reconciliation, amounts were not overcharged.
