Date: March 27, 2025 Cognizant or Oversight Agency: U.S. Department of the Treasury Public Counsel respectfully submits the following corrective action plan for the year ended August 31, 2024. Name and address of independent public accounting firm: Armanino, LLP 11766 Wilshire Blvd. 9th Floor Los Angeles, CA 90025 Audit period: August 31, 2024 The finding from the August 31, 2024 schedule of findings and questioned costs is discussed below. The finding is numbered consistently with the number assigned in the schedule. FINDINGS-FINANCIAL STATEMENT AUDIT SIGNIFICANT DEFICIENCY 2024-001 The Uniform Guidance Cost principles require consistency in treatment of costs and, specifically, that compensation costs be consistent. In addition, the Uniform Guidance requires that there be a system of internal control which provides reasonable assurance that the charges are accurate, allowable and properly allocated and conform to the established accounting policies and practices of the Organization. Recommendation: The process implemented by management during the year appears to have addressed the ongoing variances satisfactorily, and management should continue with its new process. Action Taken: We agree with the auditors' recommendations, and we have already taken the following actions during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2024: We have updated the payroll allocation methodology to ensure that we are making allocations for employees on a fully pro rata basis and that there is a validation process to ensure that 100% of an employee’s time is appropriately allocated across Federal and non-Federal funding sources. The supporting documentation is saved in our shared network folders and attached to the journal entries within our financial system. For any future process or system changes, we will ensure that we have thoroughly assessed the impact of any change before we implement it and vet it in through our internal grant compliance team. We have already made changes to involve our Legal Data Manager to implement a reporting process to ensure that we have complete timeslips that reflect both employee and supervisor approvals for every pay period. We will maintain this approach in Legal Server, the Organization's case management and timekeeping system, and will attach these timeslips as support for each of our allocation entries. We will continue to assess our procedures and internal controls relevant to our Federal funding to ensure compliance with the requirements of Uniform Guidance. We will do a thorough review of our internal control system and update it as necessary to align with best practices as recipients of Federal funding. The Finance team will continue to actively seek training related to Uniform Guidance updates and other Federal rules and requirements. We will share and discuss this information across departments to maintain organization-wide compliance.

Management attempted to contract with multiple accounting consultants for creating the SEFA but they were already at full capacity and were not available to assist with the creation of the report. When the relevant contract or grant award did not include the necessary information, SCEC management and program staff reached out to our contracting agencies to confirm whether federal funds were part of each award and to find out CFDA numbers and other contract information necessary to complete the form. Nevertheless, there were several errors that in the SEFA submitted to our auditors for review. For the two IRP and RMAP lending programs, the prior year balances were carried over into the FY 24 SEFA through a clerical error. The errors in item 11.037 and 11.419 are related to information we received from the contracting agency. In particular, 11.037 was listed under US Economic Development Administration according to the contracting agency and we were given the description of Economic Adjustment Assistance. The description for 11.419 was given to SCEC by the contracting agency as CDS – Congressionally Directed Spending. Finally, we provided two CFDA’s for the STEM Education award with the submission of the SEFA as we were waiting for confirmation from Program Managers about the correct CDFA numbers. The auditors were informed that we were waiting for these numbers when the SEFA was submitted. In FY24, SCEC had 29 different federal funding sources, from 14 different agencies. We are working to improve our capacity to report these awards without error before the review of our auditors.
