Effective January 2025, Catalyst CT, Inc. transferred all accounting and finance functions in-house after terminating a contract with a third-party accounting firm. The in-house transition process was completed in phases, commencing in October 2023 with the hiring of a VP of Finance (CFO equivalent) who reviewed the in-place accounting/finance model. Based on the review, an in-house Controller was hired in March 2024, and a Staff Accountant was hired in December 2024. Transitioning of financial report preparation in-house began in the March 31, 2024 reporting period with a goal of having all reporting transferred in-house by year-end. As a result of this transition, reporting is handled by a central group of finance/accounting associates with consistent processes as well as improved internal notifications, including a Grant Cover Sheet, a Grant Cover Sheet Budgets spreadsheet and regular spend rate meetings with relevant senior program directors. Regarding this particular finding, until the end of year 2024, many past reports were a few days to a few weeks overdue because monthly/quarterly books weren’t typically closed by the third-party accountants until at least the third week of the following month. This is not atypical, a monthly closing date within 15 days is usually an exception rather than a rule. Furthermore, most of our grantors were not flummoxed by this. Those who had issues with reporting past the 15th would usually communicate this to us and we would arrange to provide estimated figures by the 15th. Given the nature of our grants, the newly formed in-house accounting group, as of January 1, 2025 has expedited the closing process to occur before the 15th of each month, allowing Catalyst CT, Inc. to meet reporting deadlines with that deadline to be more easily met.

Finding: The Organization did not have adequate and effective controls over compliance in place as it relates to activities allowed or unallowed and allowable costs. We noted Instances where payroll and non-payroll related expenditures did not have documentation of review. Corrective Response: Management is committed to strengthening how we track and allocate hours to grant-funded projects to ensure full compliance with 2 CFR 200.430. Going forward, the organization will implement a time study approach to support the allocation of personnel costs to federal grants. Employees working across multiple funding sources will participate in periodic time studies designed to reasonably estimate the distribution of their time based on actual activities performed. The results of these time studies will be used as the basis for allocating payroll costs to the appropriate grants, and will be supported by documentation and supervisory review. We will also implement consistent tools and processes to ensure allocations are applied systematically across all funding sources. On a monthly basis, the finance team will review and reconcile payroll allocations to ensure they align with the established methodology. In addition, we will provide training and ongoing oversight to reinforce compliance and prevent similar Issues In the future.

Criteria Uniform Guidance requires management to provide reasonable assurance that federal awards are expended only for allowable activities, that the cost of goods and services charged to federal awards are allowable and in accordance with the specific cost principles, and to ensure expenditures were incurred and paid prior to requesting for reimbursement. Condition The Organization lacked controls over purchasing and payments to vendors. More specifically, there was no formal process for approving invoices before payment to vendors. There is inadequate segregation of duties among those who: (1) Initiate routine transactions and (2) Review, evaluate, or approve routine transactions. There is also a lack of documentation of reviews performed and closing and reconciliation procedures. Cause The board and management of the Organization did not have adequate financial expertise to exercise effective oversight or design and implement a control environment or control activities sufficient to carry out the objectives of the Organization during the fiscal year. Effect The Organization cannot ensure that its activities and costs charged to the federal award program were allowable during the audit period conducted. Recommendation We recommend the Organization design and implement written accounting policies and procedures to formally approve invoices before payment to vendors to ensure proper segregation of duties.
