Quarterly Reporting The State concurs in part with the condition and recommendation. A unique challenge with ERA reporting has been changes in the U.S. Treasury portal for that program, which have impacted the State?s ability to download and provide copies of past reports that have been submitted. In addition, this issue in the reporting portal has been inconsistent, as some previously submitted reports were made accessible by Treasury, while others were not, which resulted in the State being able to access some requisite materials but not others. The State did not have documented procedures to ?pull down? copies of reports it had submitted to Treasury because the State has otherwise been able to rely on access to its previously submitted reports within reporting portals in order to enable the testing required during audit for the relevant periods. Meaning, in the State?s experience with COVID-19 related federal funds reporting, it has been able to access and download past reports for purposes of audit. However, also noted above is that the Treasury portal was recently revised and updated to allow for accessing previously submitted ERA reports that were not otherwise available (the communication from Treasury acknowledging this change was provided by the State). However, the reporting portal change did not take place in time for the State?s auditors to reasonably conduct the necessary testing. The State did provide the data and materials it reported to Treasury for the relevant periods, but auditors were unable to test and validate that data because the State could not access and provide a copy of what was actually uploaded into the portal. Nevertheless, to avoid any such potential issues in the future, the State has already implemented a procedure that involves downloading copies of reports as soon as they are submitted and taking screenshots of portions of the portal where perceived necessary to support what the State has submitted to Treasury. This updated procedure will be memorialized in the program?s transaction processing memo during its next update. Monthly Reporting The State concurs in part but has already implemented related corrective action in line with the recommendation above. The State would also like to note that as part of the ERA reallocation process U.S. Treasury has relied on both quarterly and monthly reporting, and that the State has continued to engage in thorough monitoring of its subrecipient and receives regular reports from that subrecipient, including weekly, biweekly, and quarterly data, which also includes quality control reports. This is inclusive of the monthly reports that were required by U.S. Treasury at one time but no longer are. The State reviews and then discusses reports received at standing, calendared, weekly meetings with the subrecipient and often engages in e-mail correspondence concerning those reports, especially if any questions concerning the data provided arise. However, the State has acknowledged that its documentation of those weekly conversations needed to be more formally memorialized. During the current fiscal year, the State began providing agendas and summaries of topics discussed during the weekly check-ins and will ensure that the program?s transaction processing memo adequately documents this requirement and procedure. The very nature of this program and U.S. Treasury?s facilitation of it has required the State and its subrecipient to stay in close contact, make regular decisions on strategies and policies within the program, and closely consider data relative to it. Anticipated Completion Date Quarterly reporting - Corrective action relative to acquisition of submitted federal reports has already been implemented and this revised procedure will be memorialized in the transaction processing memo for the program during its next update in Q1 2023. Monthly Repotting - Corrective action relative to documentation of weekly meetings was already complete as of the State?s response to this finding, and the State will ensure that the transaction processing memo for the program reflects these measures during its next update in Q1 2023.

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.

During the 2022 grant year for the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families Grant # 93.558, the grantor implemented a new reporting tool, the SAFE Program Client Agreement Form (PCAF). The effective date of this new form requirement was on or about April 1, 2022. In April and May, while the PCAF process was in its infancy, two small assistance expenditures were charged to a Catholic Charities credit card. In our accounts payable file supporting the payment of these charges, one charge was supported by a PCAF, but the PCAF lacked an approval signature from an authorized supervisor. The second charge was not supported by a PCAF. In both instances, the credit card package was approved in total by an authorized supervisor and the grantor approved the drawdown package that included these expenditures without comment. We believe that these two instances were start up exceptions and not reflective of our compliance with the procedure on an ongoing basis. The procedures for processing charges to this grant have been fully implemented and the team that administers the TANF grant has been fully trained in the proper documentation procedures regarding documenting the PCAF. We are confident that this training is sufficient to ensure compliance with the documentation requirements of the grantor and that our training procedures for any future documentation changes will help ensure a smooth incorporation of new requirements.

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.

Corrective Action Plan For the year ended September 30, 2022 U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development: Housing Authority of the City of Salem respectfully submits the following corrective action plan for the year ended September 30, 2022. Auditor: Novogradac and Company, LLP Certified Public Accountants 1144 Hooper Avenue Suite 203 Toms River, New Jersey 08753 The findings from the September 30, 2022 schedule of findings and questioned costs are discussed below. The findings are numbered consistently with the numbers assigned in the schedule. Federal Award Findings and Questioned Costs Finding 2022-001: Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Federal Program Titles: Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers Program Federal Catalog Numbers: 14.871 Noncompliance ? E. Eligibility ? Tenant Files Non Compliance Material to the Financial Statements: No Significant Deficiency in Internal Control over Compliance for Eligibility Criteria:Tenant Files. The PHA must do the following: As a condition of admission or continued occupancy, require the tenant and other family member to provide necessary information, documentation, and releases for the PHA to verify income eligibility (24 CFR sections 5.230, 5.609, and 982.516). These files are required to be maintained and available for examination at the time of audit. Condition: Based upon inspection of the Authority?s files and on discussion with management, there were documents that were unavailable for examination at the time of audit. Context: There are approximately 2,723 Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers units and 123 Mainstream Vouchers units. Of a sample size of forty-seven (47) tenant files, the following was noted: ? Lead based paint form was missing in 14 files ? Annual inspection report was missing in 1 file Our sample size is statistically valid. Cause: There is a significant deficiency in internal controls over the compliance for the eligibility type of compliance related to the maintenance of tenant files. The Authority has not properly considered, designed, implemented, maintained and monitored a system of internal controls that assures the program is in compliance. Effect: The Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers Program is in non-compliance with the eligibility type of compliance related to the maintenance of tenant files. Recommendation:We recommend the Authority design and implement internal control procedures that will assure compliance with the Uniform Guidance and the compliance supplement. Authority Response: The Authority accepts the recommendations of the auditor and has issued the following directives to staff in order to prevent future recurrence of similar issues: ? Administrative Advisory 2023-02 ? This Administrative Advisory requires staff, effective June 12, 2023, to obtain the Lead Based Paint (LBP) Disclosure form for any new leases / moves related to units built before 1978, as well as requiring staff to review files at annual recertification and request the LBP Disclosure form for those units built prior to 1978 as part of the recertification process. Using this method, all LBP disclosures shall be present in tenant files by the end of calendar year 2025 (SHA is moving to biennial recertifications as part of its Moving to Work Initiative). ? Administrative Advisory 2023-03 ? This Administrative Advisory directs staff to ensure that original applications and initial eligibility documentation are scanned when files are archived, or new volumes are created. Additionally, staff have been advised to pull the original application and initial eligibility forward into new volumes. If the original application and initial eligibility information are found to be incomplete or missing at the time the file is archived, staff have been instructed to document the file and replace the missing information with the best available documentation to demonstrate date of original application and that initial eligibility criteria were met. Due to the conditions of the COVID-19 pandemic, SHA was unable to contract a third party inspector to conduct inspections of units that it owns and operates, as required by HUD regulations. This led to a gap of more than 24 months between an initial inspection and a biennial inspection for a resident living in a SHA-owned unit. Inspections of SHA-owned units have since been completed under an agreement with a neighboring housing authority and will continue to be completed in accordance with HUD regulations and requirements going forward. Melanie Fletcher will be responsible to implement this corrective action by September 30, 2023.

Finding 2022-001 ? Special Tests and Provisions ? Enrollment Reporting (Student Financial Assistance Cluster) Contact Persons: Diana Dimas, Registrar?s Office Cristen Alecia, Office of Financial Assistance Current Status: Correction of this finding is in-progress. Anticipated Completion Date: December 31, 2023 Condition: The University of the Incarnate Word did not accurately or timely report student status changes to the NSLDS for 6 out of 60 students selected for testing. Identification of Repeat Finding: 2021-001, 2020-001, 2019-002 While the condition reported above is considered a repeat finding, it is important to note that the errors are different this year and that these findings are not a reflection of the university ignoring previous findings or failing to make changes, but rather a reflection of the complexity of enrollment reporting. There were no inaccurate or untimely attendance level changes, and the official withdrawals were reported accurately and timely. In this year?s errors, we had a student who graduated outside of a normal conferral date, causing them not to be reported during our normal degree conferral report to NSC. The Registrar?s Office is putting changes in place to either eliminate out-of-cycle conferrals, or increase the number of conferral and reporting dates to effectively capture all graduates. We know that only 6 students were caught up in this out-of-cycle graduation, as it was a specific exception for the School of Osteopathic Medicine, and is not a wide-spread issue. We had two unofficial withdrawals reported later than 60 days ? at 69 and 70 days. While the withdrawal and the changes were processed timely, the timing of the roster from NSLDS compared to the submission to NSC caused the report not to be acknowledged until after the 60 days had passed. The Office of Financial Assistance is researching the option of manually reporting unofficial withdrawals outside of the monthly reporting cycle in order to eliminate this problem. The Registrar?s Office will review the roster and NSC submission schedules to see if changes need to be made in order to better align reporting dates. We had three students inaccurately reported as withdrawn for the summer semester. These students were at least half-time in the preceding Spring and the following Fall, and therefore were not required to be reported as withdrawn. The Office of Financial Assistance and the Registrar?s Office will work together to research options in Banner and with NSC. It may be necessary to create a separate withdrawal code to identify summer withdrawals that should not be reported as withdrawn, and create a report to monitor the fall enrollment for these students in case they later withdraw from Fall and transition to a withdrawal which must be reported. The Banner system alone does not allow for the complicated logic mandated for summer reporting in the NSLDS Enrollment Reporting Guide. Our offices will continue to work in partnership to resolve these enrollment reporting issues.

Current Findings on the Schedule of Findings, Questioned Costs and Recommendations 1. Finding 2022-001 a. Comments on the Finding and Each Recommendation The auditee agrees with the finding. The late completion of the audits for fiscal years 2020 and 2021 has contributed to management not getting the budgets for the new fiscal years submitted and approved by HUD timely. As a result, management did not have access to the EIV system for a period of time so that they could verify income. This issue is anticipated again in fiscal year 2023 because of the late submission of the fiscal year 2022 budget which required the fiscal year 2021 actual data. b. Action(s) Taken or Planned on the Finding The late completion of our audits for fiscal years 2020 and 2021 has contributed to our not getting our budgets for the new fiscal years submitted and approved timely. Therefore, Management did not have access to the Enterprise Income Verification (EIV) system [the system used to access Social Security information and Health and Human Service information] for a period of time so that they could verify income. This issue is anticipated again in fiscal year 2023 because of the late submission of the fiscal year 2022 budget which required the fiscal year 2021 actual data. Steps are being taken to have the fiscal year 2022 audit completed in a reasonable timeframe, and we do not anticipate the same problem going forward. B.

Finding No. 2022-002 Enrollment reporting Cluster: Student Financial Assistance Cluster Grantor: Department of Education Award Name: Federal Direct Student Loans Award Year: July 1, 2021 ? June 30, 2022 Award Number: Not applicable Assistance Listing Number: 84.268 The College agrees with the finding noting that this exception is an unusual occurrence as a result of improper recording of the leave status in Colleague, the student information system. The record in Colleague should have had hiatus data entered on April 11, 2022, the date in which the College was aware of the student?s enrollment change, which would allow the change in enrollment information to be queried and transmitted to the National Student Clearinghouse (?NSC?) in in the May 17, 2022 submission. As this hiatus data was not updated, the student?s enrollment record was reported as enrolled at that time, which is attributed to an error in data entry of the multiple fields required in Colleague to reflect a leave from the College. The student?s transcript was correctly marked as ?W? as of April 8, 2022. However, the effective date was not correctly reported to the NSLDS. Management is in the process of correcting the effective date reporting to the NSLDS. The College has since implemented Workday Student, the College?s new student information system, in August of 2022. New business processes for entering student leaves have been documented and staff have been trained. The Office of Student Affairs initiates the leave process and a system process prompts records, financial aid, and billing to review the student record. The leave is updated within the student information system once all of the relevant offices have completed their processing. Training was done as a part of the implementation and testing process. The NSC enrollment reporting in Workday is automated. Jesse Barba, Director of Institutional Research and Registrar Services, is responsible for the implemented corrective action plan.
