2025-006 – Internal Control Deficiency in Financial Reporting – Untimely Recording of Grant Program Expenditures Cluster: Not applicable Sponsoring Agency: United States Agency for International Development (USAID) Award Name: USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas Award Number: 7200AA19CA00018, 7200AA21LE00003 Assistance Listing Title: USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas Assistance Listing Number: ALN 98.001 Award Year: 2024-2025 Pass-through entity: Not applicable Compliance Requirement: Schedule of Expenditure of Federal Awards Reporting and Period of Performance On January 1, 2024, the campus converted from the Kuali Financial System (KFS) to the Oracle Cloud financial system (AE). There was a pre-conversion blackout period from mid-November 2023 through January 1, 2024. Additionally, as part of this transition, advance account balances were not initially migrated and were subsequently moved into AE projects. This resulted in changes to how these balances were tracked and processed. Initially, these balances were placed in a single project, and there were delays in processing liquidations until balances could be reconciled and distributed to the individual projects established for each sub awardee. Due to these delays and the pre-conversion blackout period, a backlog of transactions was created. Reconciliations and liquidations were subsequently processed in September 2024. As of September 2024, the process for advance liquidations has been implemented, including distributing balances to the appropriate projects. These procedures are now in place and have been fully implemented through the established process. For inquiries regarding this finding, please contact Mario Reina-Guerra at mreinaguerra@ucdavis.edu.
