Finding 2022-002:Section 8 Project-Based Cluster Federal Assistance Number: 14.182 and 14.195 U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Compliance Requirements: Cash Management, Eligibility, Reporting Type of finding: Internal Control Over Compliance (significant deficiency) Recommendation: The Organization should strengthen its internal controls with adopted policies and procedures to ensure a review process is established through adequate segregation of duties. The Organization should consider assessing and realigning the duties and responsibilities of administrative staff allowing the administrator to act in a more supervisory position. Action Taken: This is not a "non-compliance" finding, however, management and the Board understand that internal controls and best management practices need to be strengthened. Management will review job descriptions and evaluate the number of staff needed to strengthen internal controls. Policies and procedures will be reviewed and adopted to segregate duties for best management practices in internal controls given the size of the organization we are. If the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development have questions regarding this plan, please call the responsible party at (719) 852-5778. Sincerely yours, Karla Shriver Managing Board Member Tri-County Senior Citizens and Housing, Inc.

March 17, 2023 Department of Health and Human Services: Martinsville Henry County Coalition for Health and Wellness respectfully submits the following corrective action plan for the year ended June 30, 2022. Independent public accounting firm: Foti, Flynn, Lowen & Co., Roanoke, VA Audit period: Year ended June 30, 2022 The findings from the year ended June 30, 2022 Schedule of Findings and Questions Costs are discussed below. The findings are numbered consistently with the numbers assigned in the schedule. FINDING ? MAJOR FEDERAL AWARD PROGRAMS AUDIT ? Significant Deficiency Finding No. 2022-002: Lack of review of underlying expenses supporting federal grant drawdowns/revenue. Recommendation: Martinsville Henry County Coalition for Health and Wellness should assign an employee with suitable knowledge and skill to review the underlying expenses supporting federal grants drawdowns/revenue to ensure that no expenses are supporting more than one drawdown or being double counted within the same drawdown. This employee should be someone other than the employee who prepared the drawdown. Additionally, we should provide external and on-the-job training of staff to further develop their financial accounting acumen. Action Taken: We concur with the recommendations and are in the process of implementing the recommendations.
Recommendation: : We recommend that management compute surplus cash on an annual basis and make the deposit within 90 days after year end, as required by the Regulatory Agreement.

Recommendation: : We recommend that management compute surplus cash on an annual basis and make the deposit within 90 days after year end, as required by the Regulatory Agreement. Views of responsible officials: : Management originally did not remit surplus cash within the 90-day requirement due to the Project not having a finalized calculation of surplus cash until the financial statement audit as completed. The Project remitted the funds top the residual receipt escrow account during November 2021.

Program: COVID-19 Education Stabilization Fund ALN 84.425F Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund ? Institutional Portion Compliance Requirement: Cash Management Criteria: Pursuant to 2022 Compliance Supplement ESF Section 2 III Cash Management, the College is required to disburse funds within three days of draw from G5. Condition: The College had approval from the Department of Education to transfer allowable activities to other expenditures that were applicable under the grant guidelines and replace debt forgiveness outside the period of performance. This caused cash management to become out of compliance with the three days to apply expenditures from the date of drawdown. Context: The College originally applied funds to debt forgiveness in which the parameters of the three days to apply funds did apply. The debt forgiveness was not approved by the Department of Education for items before March 13, 2020. The Department of Education gave written approval to the College to reclass invoices that were applicable under the grant guidelines. This produced the draws being over three days from drawdown for majority of the items. Cause: On September 23, 2022, the College was asked to contact the Department of Education for guidance on debt forgiveness or obtain a waiver. The College?s request for a waiver was denied on November 29, 2022. The Department of Education gave written approval to the College to apply invoices that are within the guidelines of the grant as grant expenditures instead of the original debt forgiveness. Transferring allowable activities resulted in noncompliance with the criteria of expending funds within three days of draw. Effect: The College could be asked to return funding if draws are viewed as out of compliance after the reclassification. Questioned Cost: None Repeat Finding: No Recommendation: The College needs to ensure they understand high-risk grant requirements by reviewing the compliance supplement, the Department of Education?s website and making contact with the Department on questions of concern. Views of Responsible Officials: The College requested a reclassification of expenditures for the grant year. The request was approved by the Department of Education. The College will request any clarification on items from the Department when in question to ensure they understand the requirements of the grant. No further action is required.

Recommendation: Management should do a thorough review of all contracts to ensure they are not drawing funds prior to incurring expenditures to ensure they are properly following cash management regulations for Federal contracts. Action Taken: Codman Square Health Center, Inc. (the Health Center) received a two-year $4.053 million HRSA Workforce Development grant from April 1, 2021, through March 31, 2023. The funding was provided to support staffing recruitment and retention efforts as summarized by HRSA ? ?On Thursday, April 1, 2021, HRSA awarded more than $6.1 billion in funding provided by the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) to 1,377 HRSA-funded health centers (activity code H8F). The purposes of the ARPA funding are to prevent, mitigate, and respond to Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and to enhance health care services and infrastructure. Consistent with these purposes, funding may support a wide range of in-scope activities, which may change as COVID-19 circumstances and related community, patient, and organizational needs evolve over the two-year period of performance?. We began program implementation on September 6, 2021, and management drew down $1 million on November 17, 2021, to cover eligible spent monies for that period. An additional $1 million was drawn down on June 1, 2022, to cover eligible expenditures as of May 2022, in the amount of $1,176,844. It was anticipated that there was a total of $1.9 million in eligible expenses to be spent in the month of September 2022 which included items such as retention bonuses, leadership training, staff recruitment, and placement costs. These expenses were never realized prior to August 2022 draw down. The remaining HRSA ARPA funds were expended by March 31, 2023. The Health Center was consistent with adhering to the proper grant billing procedures for the first two drawdowns. The Health Center will follow HRSA Compliance requirements detailed in Compliance Requirements - Cash Management and will draw down HRSA grants on an incurred cost reimbursement basis. If the Department of Health and Human Services has questions regarding this plan, please call Sandra Cotterell at 617-822-8212.

Finding Reference Number: 2022-002 Reporting Allowable/Allocable Costs Description of Finding: During the audit testing, the auditor noted cost allocations included on submitted grant reports did not reconcile directly back to underlying supporting documentation (payroll records, etc.). Therefore, there was no accounting trail between costs reported and supporting records. Statement of Concurrence or Nonconcurrence: The Uncas Health District agrees with the audit finding. Corrective Action: Each employee that receives funding as part of a grant will note the time spent/ grant time spent on each day in the NOTES section of their timesheet.

Finding: An Administrative Review for Dierks School District was completed by the Arkansas Division of Elementary and Secondary Education, Child Nutrition Unit (DESE, CNU) in February 2022. The review noted the high school meal counts for breakfast and lunch were not consolidated and daily rosters for lunch at the elementary school were inaccurately counted on the January 2022 claim for reimbursement. This resulted in an under claim of $3,354 for breakfast and $12,494 for lunch. In addition, the review noted the District was talking lunch counts in the classroom prior to the lunch service rather than at the point of service. During our examination of the March and May 2022 claims for reimbursement, we noted the number of meals reported was overstated by 34 for breakfast and 42 for lunch resulting in a combined over claim of $280. The District will thoroughly review the data during the posting of monthly account eligibility reports and daily record forms to the monthly claim for reimbursement.

FINDING 2022-004 COMMENT: Under Uniform Guidance requirements, the County may charge only allowable costs incurred during the approved budget period of a federal award's period of performance and any costs incurred before the federal awarding agency or pass-through entity made the federal award that were authorized by the federal awarding agency or pass-through entity.

Finding No. 2022-002 ? Cash Management View of Responsible Officials: The University maintains that it has policies and procedures in place to ensure expenditures are paid in accordance with 2 CFR Part 200.305(b) which requires non-federal entities to ??minimize the time elapsing between the transfer of funds from the United States Treasury or the pass-through entity and the disbursement by the non-Federal entity??. The University states in Note 1 to the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards that it reports expenditures on an accrual basis of accounting unless otherwise directed by the terms and conditions of the underlying awards. These accrued expenditures are paid on a timely basis in accordance with the University?s existing processes, thereby ensuring compliance with the requirements in 2 CFR Part 200.305(b). This finding is based on the results of testing for Audit Objective No. 4 in Part 3, Section C. Cash Management, in the Office of Management and Budget (?OMB?) Compliance Supplement issued April 2022 which states ?For grants and cooperative agreements to non-federal entities that are paid on a reimbursement basis, supporting documentation shows that the costs for which reimbursement was requested were paid prior to the date of the reimbursement request.? However, as noted above, 2 CFR Part 200.305(b) requires only that non-federal entities minimize the time elapsing between the receipt of funds and the ultimate disbursement for the expenditures, and does not otherwise state that expenditures must be paid prior to the date of the reimbursement request. In October 2017, on behalf of its member institutions, the Council on Governmental Relations (?COGR?) issued a letter to the OMB Office of Federal Financial Management requesting that the Compliance Supplement be amended, followed by an update to 2 CFR Part 200.305, to address these inconsistencies. This request has not been addressed to date. The University will continue to monitor the OMB interpretation and responses to COGR?s request, and reevaluate its existing policies and procedures as necessary. Anticipated Completion Date: N/A

REFERENCE # 2022-003 - Reporting-Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act- Deficiency Condition - The University provided subawards to various Hospitals during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022. We reviewed the FFATA submitted by the University and noted that FFATA submission was not within time frame as required by the HRSA. Recommendation - We recommend that the University submit the required FFATA reports within the time frame prescribed by HRSA. Corrective Action Plan - The University has a system to identify first tier subawards of $30,000 or more and a system to identify Purchase Orders (PO) generating vendor payments of $30,000 or more. These established processes are managed by the Office of Sponsored Programs (OSP) and the Office of Central Procurement (OCP), respectively. The identified hospital payments were not processed as subaward payments, nor were they processed through OCP where a payment would be generated via PO. The payments were made under unit specific service contracts and paid via non-PO payment (or direct payment) to the hospital partners. While this type of payment is authorized by Penn State systems, it was unknown at the time of payment that non-PO payments were not routed to OCP for review and validation of the FFATA reporting requirements. To ensure future compliance: ? OCP will conduct a retroactive review of all non-PO payments $30,000 or greater from July 2020 through present to ensure FFATA reporting is complete and accurate ? OSP and OCP will work with colleges to develop a unit-level process to review and identify eligible FFATA reporting prior to submission of non-PO payment requests ? OCP will conduct a bi-weekly review of all non-PO payments $30,000 or greater to ensure any transactions meeting FFATA requirements are reported timely and appropriately.

The University submitted Quarterly Budget and Expenditure Reporting for HEERF III (a)(1) Institutional Portion, (a)(2), and (a)(3) on a quarterly basis. However, it was noted that one (1) report for the Quarter ending June 30, 2021, was due on July 10, 2021, and was submitted on August 16, 2021. Recommendation - We recommend that the University submit the required report within the time frame prescribed by U.S. Department of Education. Corrective Action Plan - This error was due to a misinterpretation of the HEERF III reporting requirements at the time, as $0 had been disbursed during the quarter in question. As soon as this error was realized, the report was submitted, and all subsequent HEERF III reporting has been submitted timely Action Date - Ongoing Final Implementation Date - May 31, 2023 Name And Phone # Of Person Responsible - Virginia A.

Name of the contact person responsible for corrective action: Katie O'Neill, Director 2. Corrective action planned: a. For 2 of 40 providers files tested, menus were clerically inaccurate and did not support the meals claimed. The Area Coordinators will be retrained to double check their meal counting on their menus at least once before they submit their meal counts and one time after they submit their meal counts. See BJ Enterprises Procedures for Reading Menus, Section D, #6. b. For 1 of 40 provider files tested, meals were claimed for the provider's own child, when the provider was not eligible for free/reduced price meals. The menu reader must use the most current "Claiming Own" report while they are menu reading. The income applications have to be approved by the Assistant Director or Director prior to the menus being read. The menu reader will use this list, as well as the Master List when reading the menus. The Area Coordinators will be retrained to ensure that the provider who is claiming their own children qualify to do so. See BJ Enterprises Procedures for Reading Menus, Section C, #5. c. For 2 of 40 provider files tested meals were claimed when the provider's children were the only children present. This occurred when the day care children were disallowed. The Area Coordinators will be re-trained to disallow the day care providers own children when meals are disallowed for all of the day care children. See BJ Enterprises Procedures for Reading Menus, Section C, #5. d. For 1 of 40 provider files tested, meals were claimed outside of the current claim month. The Area Coordinators will be re-trained to disallow meals on the front end or the back end of the month. See BJ Enterprises Procedures for Reading Menus, Section B, #2. e. For 1 of 40 provider files tested, meals were claimed when the child was not indicated as being present for the meal. The times in and out were not on the day that was claimed. The Area Coordinators will be re-trained to disallow meals when the time in and outs are not written on the menu. See 8 J Enterprises Procedures for Reading Menus, Section C, #4. f. For 1 of 40 provider files tested, meals were claimed when no menu components were listed on the menu. The Area Coordinators will be re-trained to disallow meals when thy have no components listed on the menu. See BJ Enterprises Procedures for Reading Menus, Section B, #3. All of the menu mistakes were on paper menus. We are encouraging everyone to start claiming on computerized menus (KidKare) because there are less or no mistakes on those menus. 3.

SIGNIFICANT DEFICIENCY IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER COMPLIANCE ? FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION, EMERGENCY CONNECTIVITY FUND PROGRAM ? FEDERAL ALN 32.009 2022-002 Internal Control Over Compliance With Special Tests and Provisions Finding Summary 47 CFR ? 54.1711 requires that the District only seek support for eligible equipment provided to students and school staff who would otherwise lack connected devices sufficient to engage in remote learning. During our audit, we noted the District did not have sufficient controls in place within its Emergency Connectivity Fund Program to assure compliance with federal special tests and provisions requirements. We noted that the District requested federal reimbursement for purchased technology devices prior to those devices being used or deployed, and thus not yet meeting the definition of eligible equipment for which the District could seek reimbursement. Corrective Action Plan Actions Planned ? The finding resulted from a timing issue caused by unfamiliarity with a new federal program. The District subsequently deployed all devices for which it was reimbursed to students in accordance with the unmet needs defined and approved in its award applications. The District understands the applicable guidance and will ensure that future reimbursement requests under the Emergency Connectivity Fund Program will not be made until after the equipment has been placed in service. Official Responsible ? Director of Finance and Operations, Christopher Kampa. Planned Completion Date ? March 31, 2023. Disagreement With or Explanation of Finding ? The District is in agreement with this finding. Plan to Monitor ? The District?s Director of Finance and Operations, Christopher Kampa, will assure appropriate internal controls are in place to verify future compliance with special tests and provisions requirements for the Emergency Connectivity Fund Program.

CRITERIA: Uniform Guidance 2 CFR 200.512(a) requires that the audit package and the data collection form shall be submitted 30 days after receipt of the auditor's report(s), or 9 months after the end of the fiscal year. EFFECT: DLS was not in compliance with Uniform Guidance 2 CFR 200.512(a). QUESTIONED COSTS: n/a RECOMMENDATION: DLS should ensure timely compliance as part of year end audit process. Management Response: DLS will schedule its annual audit to occur in August, at the latest. This will ensure that the annual audit is completed in time to meet the Sept. 30th filing deadline with the Audit Clearinghouse. In the event that the Judicial Council is unable to process reimbursements timely, DLS' management will estimate revenue and receivable balances based on reasonable and probable amounts so that the audit will still be completed on time.
