Management agrees with the finding and changed the request with FDEM to correct. Management was also guided by the auditor with FDEM to submit the material invoices to assist with some payment while waiting on project approval. This led to the two methodologies. When submitting projects, we always include the work orders that include force account labor, materials, contract labor and overheads. This situation has been resolved and Management intends to only use one methodology in the future.

2024-007 Improve Internal Controls Over Reporting Management Response and Corrective Action Plan: We concur with the finding. The City acknowledges that the preparation and submission of SF- 425 Federal Financial Reports under the Public Safety Partnership and Community Policing Grants program lacked appropriate segregation of duties. To address this, the City and Department will implement written procedures requiring that all Federal financial reports undergo an independent review and documented approval prior to submission. The Financial Analyst will prepare reports, the Grant Coordinator (or designee) will perform and document the review, and the Authorized Official (Business Services Manager) will submit only after review is complete. A review checklist will be adopted, and documentation will be retained in the grant file. Staff training on internal control requirements will be conducted, and full implementation is expected within 90 days. The Independent City Auditor will be responsible for ensuring completion and ongoing compliance. Planned Implementation Date: 12/17/2025 Person Responsible for Corrective Action: Julianne Pelletier

Views of responsible officials and planned corrective actions: Management agrees with the recommendations. The organization has hired a Comptroller and additional accounting staff with sufficient experience to strengthen oversight of financial and grant reporting. This position is expected to enhance the timeliness and accuracy of reporting processes, improve internal controls, and support the implementation of financial and organizational policies and procedures. Management acknowledges that additional accounting staff are still needed to fully remediate the deficiencies noted and is actively evaluating staffing needs to support continued growth and ensure compliance. Management also plans to improve organizational systems to aid in data tracking, financial system integration, grant-reporting, donor tracking, and efficiency.

Criteria: Federal and state grant agreements typically require recipients to maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting. These include accurate and timely submission of required reports; proper documentation and retention of supporting records and review and approval processes to ensure compliance and accuracy. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: Containment: To prevent miscoding of expenses, we implemented a change in the prior fiscal year to allocate all CACFP-related expenses to a distinct program code. This ensures that CACFP costs are tracked independently and not charged to direct programs. Root Cause Reconciliation of the reimbursement from USDA can vary on the reimbursement of the cost of food. Where there is less cost than reimbursement we are reconciling the overage to staff wages of kitchen staff and supplies for the kitchen at the end of the year instead of monthly. Action Taken Reconciliation of the monthly reimbursement amount from CACFP to the food expenses will be reviewed each month by the 10th (for the following month) and reconciliation to the appropriate programs will be journal entries and included in the monthly review of revenue and expenses.

Condition: The Association’s controls were not effective to ensure it was recognizing revenue and unearned revenue for reimbursement-based programming in the same period the expenditure occurred. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: Containment During the previous year, fiscal staff have received additional training on processing of receivables for accrual accounting, eliminating errors in the recognition of revenue in reimbursement grant funding. Root Cause Oversight in the reconciliation steps of moving money to unearned revenue at the end of the year. Action Taken Research and training have taken place for fiscal staff to better understand the unearned revenue documentation and process. Additional training and support will be implemented at year end recognizing all revenue and account balances.
Criteria: The Association is required by a US Department of Agriculture (USDA) loan agreement to fund a reserve account at the sum of $204 each month until a balance of $64,500 is achieved (see Note 4 to the financial statements).

Criteria: The Association is required by a US Department of Agriculture (USDA) loan agreement to fund a reserve account at the sum of $204 each month until a balance of $64,500 is achieved (see Note 4 to the financial statements). Additionally, funds withdrawn from the reserve fund must be approved in advance by USDA. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: Containment: The Fiscal Manager has reviewed the loan requirements. Root Cause Due to large turnover in the fiscal team and the lack of knowledge of loan requirements. Action Taken Fiscal Manager has reviewed loan documents and requirements making ourselves familiar with the reserve account requirements. This concern was found in late 2024 and was corrected immediately with transfers happening in October 2024. Moving forward the transfer to the reserve account happened on a monthly basis in conjunction with the mortgage payment. OCCDA has met the account balance requirements for the reserve accounts which currently have $65,392.10.

Corrective Action Plan: Upon assuming the role of Executive Director in July 2024, it became clear that rent reasonableness studies were not being conducted under the previous administration, as required. Recognizing the importance of compliance with HUD regulations, I initiated the implementation of a rent reasonableness policy and process. To support this effort, we entered into a contract with MRI to provide us with the rent reasonableness software. Last year we supplied MRI with the necessary property addresses and zip codes to begin the analysis. Due to the complexity of the implementation and the volume of data required, the setup process took time. We are now actively incorporating rent reasonableness determinations into all tenant files during annual recertifications and interims. With nearly 700 families in our program, this is an ongoing process, but significant progress has been made. Our team is fully committed to ensuring full compliance with HUD regulations, and we continue to work diligently toward that goal. In addition, to ensure continued compliance and to maintain the integrity of our files, the HCV Supervisor will be conducting weekly audits. This internal quality control measure helps us identify and address any inconsistencies or issues in a timely manner.

Views of Responsible Officials: Management concurs with the auditor’s findings related to Federal award compliance and questioned costs. Several internal transitions contributed to the control gaps and compliance lapses identified during the audit period, including:  The implementation of a new chart of accounts and a new instance of the Sage Intacct accounting system, which impacted reporting structures and account mapping for Federal programs.  A transition in finance leadership, which affected oversight of Federal grant compliance and reporting.  The lack of timely replacement for a key vacant finance position, which limited staff capacity during critical reporting periods. These factors collectively contributed to the challenges experienced in adhering to certain requirements under the Uniform Guidance, including the accurate preparation of the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA) and the documentation of allowable costs. To address the findings and prevent recurrence, management has taken or is taking the following steps:  Staff training on SEFA preparation and Uniform Guidance requirements will be conducted to ensure a full understanding of Federal compliance obligations. Will ask GRF what recommendations they have for trainings by August 2025.  Verify chart of accounts mapping for Federal grants has been finalized and validated within the new Intacct system to support more accurate tracking of expenditures. – Complete by September 2025.  The utilization of the C-STAAR system will support a more structured and consistent internal grant management process.  Finance will also evaluate the grants management module within the accounting system to determine feasibility for integration and ease of syncing with SEFA reporting requirements.  A calendar of Federal reporting deadlines will be developed to strengthen compliance monitoring and accountability. – By October 2025. Management is committed to improving its internal controls and ensuring compliance with all applicable Federal requirements moving forward.

Rehabilitation for Survivors of Torture in Minnesota/Ethnic Community Self- Help Program; Refugee and Entrant Assistance – Assistance Listing No. 93.576 Recommendation: Auditor recommends that ACS review all participant files to ensure proper documentation is retained supporting the eligibility of applicants. We noted that there is currently a process in place to review files to ensure that only eligible participants are being served, but we recommend that a process is implemented and documented to ensure that there is proper review and approval of all applicants prior to the individual receiving services and that this review is retained.
