The Department of Human Services (DHS) adopted the electronic Timeforce (STATS) system for payroll, replacing manual processes. Time and attendance are approved through management levels, with payroll based on Notice of Personnel Action (NOPA) cost centers. Financial Analysts reconcile payroll, and a workflow ensures accurate NOPA listings for payroll purposes. Additionally, in order to ensure that Notice’s of Personnel Actions are updated on a timely basis, ensuring that salaries are charged to the respective account, DHS has implemented the following process: (1) Provisional Payroll Codes are requested prior to the close of the Fiscal Year by the Department of Finance through the Office of Management and Budget through the established process. (2) Once the codes are received, the Division of Human Resources will update the most current Personnel Distribution Sheets to reflect active employees. (3) The sheets will be submitted to Fiscal certification by the CFO, (4) NOPAS are updated with the provisional codes.

DHS is in the process of finalizing corrective actions to address the conditions noted and to enhance compliance across all CCDF funding sources: 1. Formalization of Policies and Procedures DHS will develop and document written policies and procedures governing compliance with CCDF administrative cost caps, quality earmarks, direct services requirements, and level of effort provisions. These procedures will define roles, monitoring responsibilities, documentation standards, and supervisory review requirements. 2. Strengthened Monitoring Throughout the Fiscal Year DHS has already implemented periodic monitoring throughout the fiscal year to track administrative, quality, and direct service expenditures against federal requirements, rather than relying solely on final year reporting. Monitoring includes monthly reconciliation of expenditures to accounting records in addition to reoccurring monthly meetings jointly with Program and Fiscal to align plans with outcomes. 3. Improved Financial Reporting Controls DHS ensures that all required ACF 696 Financial Reporting Forms are prepared accurately, fully reconciled to the general ledger, and retained in accordance with record keeping requirements. Any discrepancies identified during reconciliation are reviewed and resolved prior to final submission. 4. Designation of Compliance Oversight Responsibility DHS has onboarded a Federal Grants Financial Analyst dedicated to the Child Care program in September of 2024. Additionally, in August 2025, a Director of Audit and Compliance was also onboarded. This will allow for a closer collaboration with the external auditors in ensuring compliance with documentation to support audit and federal review. These corrective actions are intended to strengthen DHS’s internal control framework, improve documentation and monitoring processes, and ensure sustained compliance with CCDF matching, level of effort, and earmarking requests.

VIDE acknowledges the audit finding regarding the Consolidated Grant procurement documentation and concurs with the recommendation. VIDE recognizes that the unavailability of approved Short Form Contracts during the audit indicates a gap in record retention and file maintenance. To address this, the Business Office will not process any payment voucher for service-related procurements unless the approved Short Form Contract is attached to the ERP transaction as a mandatory supporting document. To ensure records are maintained and readily available for future reviews, the Procurement Division will digitize all executed Short Form Contracts and upload them to the department’s centralized SharePoint repository immediately upon execution. To reinforce these protocols, mandatory refresher training will be conducted for Procurement and Program staff on the new digital archiving requirement and the federal documentation standards for service-related procurements. Finally, the Office of Fiscal & Administrative Services will conduct monthly spot checks of the SharePoint repository to verify that all active service contracts are properly archived and accessible.
