Identifying Number: 2023-001 Audit Recommendation: Procedures should be consistently applied requiring the reconciliation of employee timecards to actual costs allocated and charged to federal and other programs. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions: To ensure compliance with grant requirements and address the issue with employee timecards and vouchers submitted, the following steps will be implemented: 1. Time Tracking: Employees will continue to be required to record their time every two weeks (through HourTimeSheet), ensuring that the hours worked align with the percentage of time allocated to the grant for those two weeks. 2. Clear Communication: The Project Director will clarify the importance of matching monthly hours with the percentage allocated to all staff participating in the grant. This will help prevent misunderstandings regarding time reporting. 3. Reviews: The Project Director will continue to conduct monthly reviews of timecards to verify that reported hours correspond with the grant’s allocation requirements before submitting vouchers. By implementing these measures, we aim to ensure that timecards accurately reflect the allocation of employee-related costs on a monthly basis, promoting compliance with grant requirements moving forward.

Findings Related to Federal Awards 2023 002 Equipment and real property management Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Transportation Program Name (ALN): Public Transportation Emergency Relief Program (ALN 20.527) Federal Grant Numbers: NJ-44-X004 Contact Person: Fatima Castellanos, Manager, PATH Financial Services, PATH Financial Services Division, 201-216-6459. Corrective Action: The Port Authority acknowledges an internal control deficiency in performing a physical equipment inventory of equipment as required under CFR 200 for the Public Transportation Emergency Relief Program 2013 49 U.S.C. 5324 (Grant award NJ-44-X004 PATH-H). PATH successfully performed a physical inventory of equipment in 2018, the first year it was required. In 2020, the performance of a physical inventory coincided with the COVID-19 pandemic which facilitated the retirement of key personnel in PATH who were responsible for performing the physical inventory of the equipment that was federally funded. This staff transition led to a loss of PATH system expertise necessary to pick up the process previously developed, resulting in the inadvertent lapse in performing the physical inventory in 2020 and 2022. To mitigate this deficiency PATH has performed a physical inventory in 2024 and updated its procedures as they relate to performing the physical inventory of equipment and to have staffing redundancies in place to account for staff turnover. In addition, PATH updated its equipment inventory log to reflect the correct serial numbers on the four pieces of equipment that KPMG identified. Anticipated Completion Date: The entry of all FTA Funded assets for the Public Transportation Emergency Relief Program 2013 49 U.S.C. 5324 will be loaded into the Port Authority Asset Management System (PAMS) by December 31, 2024. Entry of these assets will contain details pertaining to the categories (Asset Name, Supplier, PO#, Cost, Grant #, FTA Share, Date Received, Property Number/Serial Number, Useful Life, Date of Last Inventory, Observed Location, Condition, Current Use, Holder of Asset, Disposition Date) required under CFR 200 and updated on a biennial basis. It is important to note, however, that due to PATH’s nature as an operating railroad, equipment is moved frequently across the system as required. Therefore, the location of the equipment will only be accurate as of the date the inventory is performed.

Corrective Action The initial eligibility determinations are currently handled by the HCV department and are centralized. It has been determined that considerable investment in staff training has been made during the past twelve months. As a result, there has been staff turnover, some at the decision of TGHA, and some at the decision of staff. Initial eligibility is currently being restructured with an emphasis on new admissions. All procedures and processes are being evaluated for accuracy, with emphasis on the noted area of noncompliance and includes a complete review and update to the Administrative Plan. There will be increased staff training and file review. In July 2024, TGHA transitioned project-based files from a property management team to the Housing Choice Voucher Department. The files had not been electronically stored. Evidence pointed to deficiencies in file maintenance. TGHA has hired temporary staff for an extended period to focus on file organization and to correct documentation deficiencies. All HCV staff have completed Rent Calculation courses provided by NAHRO or Nan McKay during the fiscal year. There have been two managers hired for the department, one exclusively for project-based vouchers. Both attended NAHRO supervisory training in September. There will be an intensive focus on program integrity throughout the programs, including staff capability, training and monitoring. TGHA has contracted with a professional recruiter to assist in hiring a Director of the HCV and MTW programs. Recertification transactions will be monitored on a monthly basis. This will include validation of calculations and verification of correct documentation. It is anticipated that TGHA files will be fully in order by July 2025.
