We transitioned all drawdown and reimbursement responsibilities internally. We required management review and initialing of all drawdowns prior to submission. We implemented standardized reconciliation processes tying drawdowns to the general ledger by reporting period. We retained all drawdown support directly within QuickBooks to document how totals were calculated. We developed grant-specific allocation roadmaps. We established a centralized grant file system for all federal financial documentation. We engaged a new accounting firm for compliance support and oversight. All drawdowns and reimbursements are reviewed and approved by the Executive Director prior to submission, with ongoing oversight from the accounting firm. Corrective actions have been implemented and are operating on an ongoing basis.

View of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions: Management acknowledges this finding related to documentation retention for a single participant-related expense during fiscal year 2023. While isolated in nature, management recognizes the importance of complete documentation to support allowability under Uniform Guidance. We updated procedures to require receipt and verification of all required documentation prior to charging costs to federal awards. We implemented standardized documentation checklists to support consistent compliance. We reinforced documentation standards through staff training and supervisory review to ensure proper adherence. Supervisory staff conduct periodic file reviews prior to reimbursement and drawdown activity. Corrective actions have been implemented and are operating on an ongoing basis.

The Department of Human Services intends to shift the responsibility of Cost Reports internally to Fiscal Office, under the supervision of the Director of Audit and Compliance. The first step towards this initiative will require a contract to be executed, and subsequently the utilization of a template for quick calculation. We consider this a high-priority initiative that will provide much-needed revenues to the coffers. Once the contract has been executed, goal is to be up-to-date within 6-9 months.

The Government concurs with the auditor’s findings and recommendations. The GVI is currently in the process of developing a comprehensive Grants Management Overarching Standard Operating Policies and Procedures (SOPP) to establish uniform guidance for all grant-related processes, including drawdowns, documentation retention, and compliance monitoring. To address documentation gaps and mitigate risks associated with staff turnover, the department will implement a Naming Convention and File Structure Standard. This will ensure all supporting documentation (invoices, receipts, confirmations) is stored in a consistent, organized manner to facilitate quick retrieval of documents during audits or compliance reviews and secure storage to maintain integrity and accessibility. Training will be provided to all staff on updated SOPPs and documentation standards.

FINDING 2023-004 – Cash Management: Significant Deficiency over Internal Controls over Compliance Condition/context – The Organization draws down funds based on a profit and loss report to signify the excess expenses incurred over the grant revenue. The Organization identifies themselves as on the reimbursement method. The request for reimbursements are not reviewed to ensure amounts have been paid with the Organization’s funds prior to the reimbursement request because certain expense codes do not relate to expenses paid but rather expenses incurred. Additionally, the frequency of draws during mid-months creates potential for errors when the reporting period has not been reconciled and therefore coded expenses are subject to change. Corrective Action Plan: Policy & Procedure adjustments within Cash Management: • Reimbursement requests will be based solely on expenditures that have been paid using the Organization’s funds. • Financial reports used to prepare draw requests are reconciled to ensure expense coding accuracy. • Expense codes distinguish clearly between paid and accrued expenditures. • Mid-month draws are avoided or subject to additional reconciliation controls prior to submission.

FINDING 2023-003 – Reporting: Significant Deficiency over Internal Controls over Compliance Condition/context – In a representative sample of monthly, quarterly, and annual reports due during the year ended December 31, 2023, auditors noted six of the six tested annual financial reports (SF-425) did not agree to the underlying profit and loss detail from the Organization’s General Ledger(s) for the related grants. In addition, the certified authorized official was not an employee of the Organization and there was a lack of documentation for how the certifying official was deemed appropriate. In the sample quarterly reports, the Organization had contradicting responses related to whether reimbursement requests reflect actual spending of designated Supportive Services for Veteran Families (SSVF) funding. Corrective Action Plan: • Internal Controls are being evaluated and addressed with the Board of Directors on clarity of Financial Policy and Procedures • Implement a formal reconciliation process to ensure all grant financial reports agree to the underlying general ledger and profit and loss statements. • Establish a documented policy identifying employees authorized to certify grant reports, ensuring these individuals are employees of the Organization and appropriately trained. • Conduct regular training and internal reviews to confirm consistent understanding of grant-specific reporting requirements, particularly those related to reimbursement-based funding such as SSVF. • Develop a standard operating procedure (SOP) for reviewing and approving financial reports before submission to funders. Prior to sending to funder/portal. Must have reconciliation to numbers prior to next period reporting. • Site Review of reporting will have oversight of Financial Dept and reconciliation communication.
