Finding 2024-005 Material Weakness in Internal Control over Compliance, Material Noncompliance Description of Finding Allowable Costs: For governmental organizations, if an employee works 100% on a cost objective, a semi-annual time certification is required which can be signed by either the employee or a knowledgeable supervisor. If the employee works in more than one cost objective, a personnel activity report must be prepared on at least a monthly basis and be signed by the employee. During our testing we noted that the Pawtucket School Department did not have adequate compliance with time and effort documentation.. Statement of Concurrence or Nonconcurrence Management concurs with the finding. Corrective Action The School Department is implementing a comprehensive corrective action plan to ensure compliance with federal time and effort documentation requirements. A formal Time and Effort policy has been adopted, training for all staff charged to federal grants is underway, and a compliance oversight function has been established to monitor adherence. These measures are designed to ensure sustainable compliance with federal requirements and protect future federal funding. Name of Contact Person Dale McGhee Projected Completion Date 7/1/2026

Criteria: Federal and state grant agreements typically require recipients to maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting. These include accurate and timely submission of required reports; proper documentation and retention of supporting records and review and approval processes to ensure compliance and accuracy. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: Containment: To prevent miscoding of expenses, we implemented a change in the prior fiscal year to allocate all CACFP-related expenses to a distinct program code. This ensures that CACFP costs are tracked independently and not charged to direct programs. Root Cause Reconciliation of the reimbursement from USDA can vary on the reimbursement of the cost of food. Where there is less cost than reimbursement we are reconciling the overage to staff wages of kitchen staff and supplies for the kitchen at the end of the year instead of monthly. Action Taken Reconciliation of the monthly reimbursement amount from CACFP to the food expenses will be reviewed each month by the 10th (for the following month) and reconciliation to the appropriate programs will be journal entries and included in the monthly review of revenue and expenses.

Conservation and Rehabilitation of Natural Resources on Military Installations – Assistance Listing No. 12.005 Recommendation: CLA recommends additional internal scrutiny and controls surrounding applicable compliance requirements when there is a change in policies and procedures, such as the change in effective indirect cost rate. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: Ecostudies’ policy has always been to use the NICRA rate at the start of an agreement (or when we start working on the project) through the course of the agreement/task order’s performance period, even when a NICRA rate changes during the performance period. This policy was based on discussions with other non-profit organizations with federal awards. During the FY 2024 audit we raised this issue with CLA to receive clarification and guidance. Our understanding from that discussion was that CLA agreed that our policy was acceptable and appropriate. Our corrective action will be to work with each federal partner to ensure there is clear documentation of the direct and indirect costs in the agreement.

Significant improvements were made in 2024, and again this year’s findings highlight the need for stronger documentation of signed contracts, approved rate changes, and allocation support. To address this, we are further expanding use of the HR Solution’s (Rippling) workflow and document management tools to automate approvals and ensure a complete audit trail. In addition, our new global hub structure, with dedicated HR support functions, will provide greater oversight and consistency across entities. These measures will enhance compliance and reduce the risk of recurrence going forward.

U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development – CFDA 14.228 Condition: The County charged payroll costs using an internal allocation method that included salaries, benefits, and supplies, rather than actual expenditures. This method was not supported by an approved cost allocation plan. Additionally, the hours charged were based on total grant administration time, not specific to the CDBG program. Recommendation: The County should ensure that all costs charged to federal programs are based on actual expenditures or an approved cost allocation plan. Documentation should be maintained to support all reported costs, and internal controls should be strengthened to prevent reliance on unsupported methodologies. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action planned in response to finding: The County will not be applying for any CDBG grants in the future unless there is adequate administrative cost allocation in the grant. The County will continue to make every effort to adequately close out CDBG grants and provide reports to the granting organization as staff and priorities allow.

Federal program title - Local Assistance and Tribal Consistency Fund program (LATCF) CFDA 21.032 Recommendation: We recommend the County refine its understanding and interpretation of the standards and ensure that the County policies and procedures are consistent with that understanding and interpretation. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: The LATCF funds were reported on the SEFA under CFDA 21.032 by the CAO’s department because the funds were transferred from the CAO’s fund to the DOT fund, with the understanding it would be expended. However, DOT did not spend the funds within the same fiscal year in which they received the transfer due to a misunderstanding that the funds could not be used for prior year expense. As a result, the funds were recorded as unearned revenue in fiscal year 2023/24, and the related expenditures will be reported in the following fiscal year.

Federal program title - Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) Program - CFDA 93.558 Recommendation: We recommend the County implement controls to ensure that all timesheets are properly approved by supervisor prior to submittal. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: Since FY 2015/2016, the Health and Human Services Agency has utilized the Cost Accounting Management System (CAMS), which includes an electronic time study and timecard tracking module. All HHSA staff are required to complete and submit their timecards through this system for supervisor approval prior to payroll submission. While the electronic system is the primary method of tracking and approval, paper timecards are also maintained as a secondary processing method within our agency. Our Timecard Policy and Procedures are reviewed with all new staff during onboarding and with all employees on an annual basis. This procedure outlines, in detail, the roles and responsibilities of both employees and supervisors in the submission and approval process—covering both the electronic and paper formats.

Corrective action the auditee plans to take in response to the finding: CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN: 7. Closely following the GUIDE FOR EDA CARES REVOLVING LOAN FUND SEMI-ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORTING PROCESS FOR BFCOG-47289WA FOR EDA AWARD NUMBER 07-79-07622 document. To avoid errors in key lines, such as administrative expenses, RLF income earned during the fiscal year, and RLF income used for administrative costs for the fiscal year. 8. To further avoid discrepancies, BFCOG will move to a semi-annual administrative expense reimbursement cycle to align with the semi-annual reporting periods. By doing this instead of only once at year's end, we will lessen the chance of those expenses being missed in reporting. 9. The primary responsibilities of this process will be transferred to our Staff Accountant (A. Fernandez) and reviewed with the Authorized Representative/Lending Director (M. Holt). During this transfer of duties, our Staff Accountant and Authorized Representative/Lending Director will ensure adequate training for upcoming reporting cycles and proper internal and EDA-level review. 10. The EDA RLF Program Administrator provided guidance that there is no mechanism for correcting reports filed in error and that necessary corrections must be made when filing the 2025 Year-End Financial Report. 11. File the 2025 Year-End Financial Report accurately and on time and document the review and submission paper trail for future reference.
