During the audit of the 2023 financials, it was noted as a finding that a transfer was done from Residual Receipts to the Operating Account without HUD approval. This was to pay for damage done to unit #19 until the insurance funds were received; the Residual Receipts Account was reimburse as soon as the insurance check was received. There was no authorization from HUD for the transfer. In the future, this will not be done unless we have approval from HUD to do the transfer.

The finding from the schedule of findings and questioned costs for the year ended December 31, 2023 are discussed below. The findings are numbered consistently with the numbers assigned in the Schedule. Finding 2023-001 Condition: The Organization does not have proper segregation of duties and appropriate level of review and approval prior to charging costs to a federal program. The same individual was approving timecards and reimbursement packets without an additional layer of review. Additionally there was no documentation of review of the reimbursement packets prior to being submitted for reimbursement. Planned Corrective Action: Management has implemented a process to ensure review of the reports prior to finalization and submission to the funder. One person will gather data and appropriate paperwork for reporting and reimbursement purposes. To ensure proper segregation of duties, there will be 2 different individuals that approve timecards and gather reimbursement packets. In addition, a second person will review and approve completed reports and packet prior to submission. This review process will be properly documented and evidenced through signature of the reports.

Contra Costa County Employment and Human Services Division (EHSD) has taken corrective actions to ensure that this type of Internal Control deficiency is resolved. During this period, the County and employers nationwide were dealing with staffing and workforce issues because of COVID. Since then, EHSD has hired a Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and a Departmental Fiscal Officer (DFO) who oversees CSB. EHSD has also hired new Administrative Services Assistant IIIs (ASA III), and Accountants hired in the Fiscal department. The structure of the Fiscal Unit is being revamped to increase lines of communication and collaboration through regular team meetings and meetings with managers and staff. These changes will continue to build internal controls and effective communication. In August 2022, the Head Start and Early Head Start programs were inappropriately charged with costs related to Pandemic Service Relief Payments (PSRP). Head Start was charged $148,773.32 and Early Head Start was charged $42,082.24 in PSRP. These disallowed costs have been corrected in the January 2024 Head Start/Early Head Start drawdown. During the same time, the state programs were also charged with costs related to Pandemic Service Relief Payments. We continue to work with the state to take corrective action to return funds. Contra Costa County EHSD has acted and is in the process of taking action to correct Internal Controls and to return funds for duplicated payments.

Finding No. 2023-002 -Allowable Activities-Loans repayments Condition Found Principal and interest has not been collected from the revolving fund on projects that were completed since before the execution of the loan agreement, which are included as part of the financial agreement dated August 18, 2020. Therefore, repayment of principal and payment of interest should have begun on their respective dates, as set forth in the loan agreement and notes payable executed thereto. In addition, interest’s billings for other projects under agreement have not been submitted and collected on a timely basis. Per the loan agreement, “Interest on the outstanding Principal Amount of the loan shall accrue from the date of each disbursement at one percent (1%) per annum and shall be payable on January 1 and July 1 of each year”. However, the invoices corresponding to the periods of December 31, 2022 and June 30, 2023 were issued and billed on February 2, 2023 and August 7, 2023, respectively.Views of Responsible Officials and Corrective Action Plan DNER will assure that, after the final inspection of a construction project is performed, where PRASA Operations Division is also present at the inspection and both parties have to concur that the inspection passed which means the project is in operation. DNER will submit notifications to PRASA requesting the acceptance letter from the Operations Division. Such letter will be an attachment to the formal notification that DNER will send to PRIFA. DNER’s letter will specify the starting operating date and the useful life of the project. Therefore, PRIFA will be in position to collect principal and interest for the project according to federal regulation, as established in the loan agreement.

Finding: An excess cash balance tolerance is allowed if that balance is less than 1% of the institution's prior-year drawdowns and is eliminated witin the next seven calendar days (34 CFR 668.166(a) and (b)).

Finding: An excess cash balance tolerance is allowed if that balance is less than 1% of the institution's prior-year drawdowns and is eliminated witin the next seven calendar days (34 CFR 668.166(a) and (b)). The institution must return immediatley in its account within the seven-day tolerence period. There was one drawdown from the G5 during the year for federal direct loans in which the College was in an excess cash position starting on June 29, 2022, through September 20, 2022 and controls in place did not identify the excess cash. The maximum daily excess balance during this time period was $51,701. Corrective Action Taken. The return of excess cash took place on 9/30/2022. Because the excess cash was identified and returned in this award year and pertained to the previous award year it is identified as a repeat finding. Internal control to regularly monitor and reconcile to drawdowns to ensure applicable requirements are met have been implemented and managed by Associate Controller Megan Donovan.

Ref. No. Compliance and Internal Control over Compliance Findings 2023-006 Allowable Costs – Significant Deficiency Recommendation We recommend the County follow their internal control process to ensure that adequate documentation supports the accumulation of costs charged to the Program as required by 2 CFR §200 Subpart E. View of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Action Management agrees with this finding. The Department of the Prosecuting Attorney’s office has reviewed and agreed a detailed line item report and Payment Request/Approval form did not accompany the respective RFF. The Department has already corrected these deficiencies to ensure each expense has an Expense Approval form with justification and that each RFF is accompanied with a detailed line item report and backup documentation for each expense being requested for reimbursement. Each payroll and non-payroll monthly invoices submitted clearly shows the breakdown. With each invoice submitted, it will state, as an example, “VOCA-SNAP 21-V2-01 Report & Attachments MM/YY”. A sample of this was submitted on March 25, 2024 with response. In short, the necessary back-up requested going forward is and will be available to submit for future audits or reviews.
