Finding 2022-03 - Cash Management Recommendation: The University should implement controls and processes to ensure that all expenses are properly identified and documented before any drawdowns are made. Action Taken: The funding was drawn down as the result of news publications from various sources in August 2021 indicating that the infrastructure package threatened to take away unused relief funds. At the time, no creditable source was able to confirm whether this meant the University would lose unused HEERF II and III funds. To safeguard the student funding, the University drew down the remaining balance for HEERF II, knowing they would have students to award the funds to shortly thereafter. All other HEERF awards were drawn down on a reimbursement basis. Responsible Individual for Corrective Action: Sr. Associate VP / Deputy CFO ?

2021-001 ? Internal Control Finding over Reporting Auditor Description of Condition and Effect: Internal control procedures are required to ensure the reporting requirements for the Homeland Security Grant Program are being met. The County is required to submit standardized EMD reimbursement reports to report expenditures under Federal Awards.

Finding Number 2022-002 SPECIAL TESTS AND PROVISIONS- INSURANCE PROCEEDS - COMPLIANCE- INTERNAL CONTROL DEFICIENCY Agency Name FEDERAL AGENCY: PUBLIC AND INDIAN HOUSING, DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT Program ALN 14.850 ? PUBLIC AND INDIAN HOUSING Contract # N/A Criteria Special Tests and Provisions ? Insurance Proceeds - As stated in the April 2022 Compliance Supplement, a Public Housing Agency (PHA) is required to use insurance proceeds to promptly restore, reconstruct, and/or repair any damaged or destroyed property of a project, except when a PHA has written approval from HUD to do otherwise. Unspent insurance proceeds normally are recorded as restricted cash or restricted investments on the Financial Data Schedules (FDS) up to the amount of the repair. In cases of unforeseeable and unpreventable emergencies that include damages to the physical structure of the housing stock, PHAs are allowed to use their Operating Funds to cover the expenses associated with the damages. A PHA?s insurance may cover the damages fully or partially, however, it usually takes time for the PHA to receive the insurance proceeds. Once received, the PHA must reimburse its operating account for any expenses that were initially covered with Operating Funds up to the amount received. If the amount of the insurance proceeds is less than the cost of the repair and the PHA elected to use Operating Funds to cover the difference, the PHA is not allowed to draw down capital funds to reimburse the Low Rent program. Condition/Context The Authority received insurance proceeds to cover catastrophic loss affecting a myriad of locations. The insurance recovery was promulgated on emergency repairs and post-events, many of which were not initiated or needed due to internal fixes. During our review of the insurance proceeds compliance, we noted that the Authority did not document repair expenditures for loss affecting myriad locations and could not correlate one-to-one expenditures to the insurance proceeds in a timely manner from when the insurance proceeds were received. Recommendation We recommend that the Authority correlate one-to-one expenditures to the insurance proceeds received on a timely basis Corrective Action Plan All good faith efforts to correlate emergency expenditures from insurance proceeds will be made in order to capture vendor work on a timelier basis. Catastrophic events (resulting in insurable claims such as the Hurricane Ida related claim selected in Deloitte?s testing) are complicated as the focus is primarily on restoring critical services in many developments, usually located in all five boroughs. The proceeds thus far received were estimated via inspection and the insurance claim remains open for more permanent pricing and repair. Such a claim often takes years to finalize as work scope is prepared and agreed to by insurers? representatives and the Authority. The emergency proceeds received have been used as needed for more repairs requiring them. As identified in the audit, much of the emergency work to date on Hurricane Ida was performed internally by staff at the sites, which did not generate transparent repair expenses. Management will take action, within limitations described above, to improve the correlation of expenditures to the insurance proceeds received on a timelier basis. In order to accomplish, will rely on the Authority?s Asset & Capital Management Department to provide timely work scope to assist in the correlation of more permanent expenditures Action Date Ongoing Final Implementation Ongoing Name And Phone Number Of Person Responsible For Implementation Arlene Orenstein Director of Risk Management 212-306-6682

View of Responsible Officials The State concurs in part with the premise of the findings identified, but it does not concur with the characterization of the Governor?s Office for Emergency Relief and Recovery (GOFERR), the process for authorizing the relevant subaward and relevant amendments, the nature of the subaward and amendments, or the recommended corrective action. Moreover, the full $49,250,000 identified in the finding was not provided to the subrecipient in one lump sum. The State was allocated $50,000,000 from U.S. Treasury for the purposes of designing and facilitating the State?s HAF program. The State received $5,000,000 from U.S. Treasury up front and received the remainder after approval of the State?s planned program. As a result, the State?s subrecipient received an initial subaward for administrative and planning purposes from within the initial $5,000,000 delivered to the State. The subrecipient was advanced only a portion of those initial funds and then was provided the remainder upon request and justification. A subsequent amendment to that subaward provided additional funds to the subrecipient as needed for the same purpose and as part of the U.S. Treasury required process of designing and then attaining approval for the State?s HAF program. The State ultimately received approval from U.S. Treasury for the State?s HAF program plan, which is a complex multi-faceted program that provides various forms of assistance to homeowners, and then received approval from State officials to launch the program. The State?s program is run entirely through a single subrecipient, New Hampshire Housing Finance Authority, which is the only entity of its kind as a statewide housing authority. This subrecipient facilitates a variety of larger-scale, federally funded housing programs. While developing the State?s HAF program and as it neared the launch date, the State began receiving preapplications through its subrecipient. Additionally, during this time, the State was facilitating its Emergency Rental Assistance (ERA) program, which has provided assistance to renters as opposed to homeowners and is facilitated by the same subrecipient of the State. Within the context of having received nearly 200 preapplications for the HAF program and witnessing a heavy and increasing demand in the rental assistance program, the decision was made to advance the remainder of the State?s HAF allocation ($45,000,000) to its subrecipient in order to provide prompt and adequate assistance, believing the program would experience high demand at the outset and funding shortfalls would be problematic for its success. Moreover, the amount of funds provided to the subrecipient was consistent with past advances to the same subrecipient under the ERA program, and as with prior delivery of funds, the subrecipient placed the funds in an appropriate account. However, demand for assistance did not unfold as anticipated due to the features of the program and the areas of need ultimately demonstrated by applicants after review and processing of initial applications. As part of the State?s monitoring protocols, and in part because of a lower initial expenditure rate than expected, the subrecipient began providing biweekly reports on the usage of funds, which the State has used as a measure of cash on hand. Moreover, the State also engages in standing, calendared, weekly calls with the subrecipient to discuss these reports. The State has provided documentation to support the process outlined above as well. Finally, as a result of the State?s remaining HAF allocation having already been provided to the subrecipient, the recommended corrective action is not feasible. However, the State acknowledges the need to more formally memorialize its review of the subrecipient?s cash on hand. As a result, the biweekly reports received and reviewed by the State will now include a specific section providing such information; review and discussion of that data will be incorporated into the weekly calls with the subrecipient, and the process and protocols will be documented in the State?s transaction processing memo for the program. Corrective Action Incorporation of cash on hand related data in biweekly reports received and reviewed by the State, documentation of that review as part of the weekly calls with subrecipient, and memorialization of the process and protocols in the State?s transaction processing memo for its HAF program. Anticipated Completion Date: Cash on hand data into biweekly reports and documentation of review said data as part of weekly calls with the subrecipient is being is actively being incorporated as of this response. The State will ensure that the transaction processing memo is updated with the requisite processes and protocols during the next update before the end of Q1 2023.

When the project started, the National Trail Local School District was not fully aware of all needed requirements when using federal grant dollars. At that time, the information and directions had not been clearly issued by the State of Ohio and the District was learning about the uses and regulations when it came to COVID dollars. However, once we were aware we immediately made the needed changes. In the future, the District will put controls in place to address this issue to ensure we properly follow the guidelines when using federal grant dollars.
