enCircle has communicated to grant management personnel the requirements regarding clothing allowances, especially when using gift cards. Going forward enCircle will also require that all gift cards can be uniquely identified with a specific child and that also foster parents will submit receipts to enCircle regarding gift card purchases until the card is fully spent (if the card is not fully spent the foster parent will be liable to return it or the cash value remaining). enCircle will develop and implement an internal auditing procedure and cycle to regularly evaluate a sample of transactions throughout the year to ensure documentation and use is appropriate for all federal funds.

Response: Management agrees with the finding and acknowledges that a significant deficiency was identified related to unallowable payroll costs. This issue occurred due to a timing delay in processing an Employment Transaction Report (ETR). The payroll transfer, originally intended to be effective in April 2024, was not processed until September 2024 of the following fiscal year. As a result, one grant was overcharged, while another grant was undercharged, leading to a misallocation of funds. To prevent similar issues, we will conduct monthly payroll reviews to ensure correct allocation of expenses and provide comprehensive staff training to reinforce the importance of timely and accurate payroll processing. Regular internal reviews and follow-ups will be conducted to monitor the effectiveness of these corrective actions, ensuring any further training or system improvements are implemented as needed. Contact person responsible for corrective action: Lynne Duong, Post Award & Compliance Manager Anticipated completion date: December 31, 2024

Condition: The School District applies the simplified method to determine indirect costs for the Title I program. The allocation of indirect costs and the computation of an indirect cost rate may be accomplished through simplified allocation procedures described in 2 CFR Part 200, Appendix VII, paragraph C.2.

The School District reported indirect costs in excess of the approved rate for the federal program. Planned Corrective Action: The School District recorded an adjusting journal entry to correct the indirect costs charged in excess of the approved rate charged to the Title I program for the year ended June 30, 2024.

Finding Number: 2024-002 Condition: Through an internal audit review, the University identified costs charged to this program that were determined to be unallowable or questionable.

Finding Number: 2024-001 Condition: The University did not complete full grant closeout procedures in a timely manner for 10 out of 25 grants that were tested with a period of performance that ended in the year ended June 30, 2024. For 2 of those 10, there was not an independent review of the closeout checklist performed. Planned Corrective Action: SRS Accounting works closely with the departments on grant closeouts. Although a checklist was not signed by a supervisor, many of these awards had departmental agreement of final expenses. In two cases, the award was fully spent. System restrictions prevent spending 90 days after the grant end date. Due to department and system controls, no unallowable costs were reported on any award. SRS accounting will provide further award closeout training to its team members. Additionally, SRS Accounting added a supervisory team member, which will help mitigate this situation going forward.

Finding 2024-001 – U.S. Department of Commerce (significant deficiency): We noted the following in connection with our compliance testing of time and effort reports: a) We noticed that nine (9) of 18 time and effort reports tested had incomplete and/or inaccurate percentage calculations. b) Personnel Action Forms provided for six (6) of 18 time and effort reports did not specify pay allocations for employee salaries to the grant. c) The employee signature on three (3) time and effort reports provided for one (1) employee did not appear authentic. d) Three (3) time and effort reports provided for one (1) employee were not approved by a supervisor. e) One (1) time and effort report and corresponding payroll register specified salaries chargeable to a different grant but the expense was charged to the Connecting Minority Communities (CMC) grant. Auditor’s Recommendation – The College should implement corrective actions to ensure that the above findings are resolved and will not recur in future periods. Corrective Action – The College accepts the auditor’s recommendations.

If documents are not received by the deadline, the Director of Sponsored Programs will notify the Director of Human Resources who will adjust the employee’s salary. If the Director of Human Resources is unable to adjust the employee’s salary, he/she will make an adjusting transaction to reallocate the percentage of time that was charged to the grant, then notify the Vice President for Business and Finance. The Vice President for Business and Finance will adjust the amount of funds requested for draw or prepare a request to return drawn funds. • The Director of Human Resources will: o Confirm with the Grant PI the percentage of time each employee should be charged on a grant. o Ensure all Personnel Action forms have the correct percentages of time allocated for employees working on a grant. o Confirm with the Sponsored Program Director that all time and efforts have been submitted correctly. o Adjust the salaries of employees who are non-compliant with time and efforts. o Advise the Vice President of Business and Finance of any changes made or needed to employee’s salaries so that drawn funds can be returned or requests for draws will be adjusted. • The Vice President for Business and Finance will: o Work with Grant PI to obtain a list of all employees assigned to work on grant w/percentages of time. o Review Personnel Action forms for accuracy of time percentages provided. o Review Labor transactions for accuracy and make adjusting entries if necessary. o Return funds to awarding agency if necessary.

Finding: 2024-001 - Inaccurate Reporting/Lack of Independent Review and Approval of Reporting Auditor Description of Condition and Effect: During our audit procedures over the District's reporting process, we noted that none of the claim requests selected for testing were subject to an independent review and approval process. We also noted that two out of the three reports selected for testing had the incorrect number of meals. As a result of this condition, the District did not comply fully with the reporting requirements under this federal award. In addition, the District was exposed to an increased risk that the reports filed could contain errors and not be detected and corrected on a timely basis. Auditor Recommendation: We recommend that the District establish procedures to ensure that the number of meals being submitted for reimbursement agrees to the actual meal counts, and that all reports are subject to review and approval by an independent employee prior to submission. Corrective Action: The responsible Officials recognize the significant deficiency identified. The supporting documents for Food Service claims and the prepared claim report will be reviewed by the Business Manager for approval of submission prior to the Food Service Director submitting Claims moving forward.
