Finding 2023-002 - Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (Material Weakness) CFDA Title and Number 66.468 Drinking Water State Revolving Fund Name of Federal Agency: Environmental Protection Agency Compliance/Internal Control over Compliance: Auditee Responsibilities Criteria: CFR Part 200.508, CFR Part 200.510, Auditee Responsibilities state that the auditee must prepare the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards, which must list individual Federal awards by Federal Agency, including the total Federal awards expended, name of the pass-through entity, CFDA number, and total amount provided to subrecipients. The information contained in the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards should be derived from and relate directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial statements. Condition: The Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA) was not presented for audit. The City was unaware that funds borrowed through Business Oregon were federally sourced. Cause: The loan documents that were provided to the City were modified and date back several years. No individual, including those employed by the City, project managers engaged by the City, and pass-through managers were apparently aware that the loan proceeds were from federal sources. Consequently, no internal controls were designed or implemented regarding accounting for or preparation of the SEFA. The City did not provide a reconciliation of the expenditures of federal awards with amounts reported on the City’s general ledger. Effect or Potential Effect: Expenditures of federal awards and not be detected and corrected. Because the Auditee’s SEFA was completed incorrectly, and not reconciled to the general ledger the SEFA was materially misstated, prior to auditors’ correction recommendations.   Questioned Cost: No Context: Lack of adequate controls over the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards and related accounting resulted in the following: • No SEFA was originally presented for auditors. • No reconciliation between federal expenditures reported on the GL and the SEFA was presented. Repeat of a Prior-Year Finding: Yes 2022-002 Recommendation: We recommend that the City establish policies and procedures to ensure that all Federal awards are identified and reported accurately on future SEFAs. Internal controls should be designed to prevent, detect, or correct errors in a timely manner by performing periodic reconciliations of the SEFA information to the general ledger throughout the fiscal year. The City should provide appropriate training to staff who are assigned to prepare and review the SEFA. City’s Response: The City acknowledges the deficiencies. Corrective Action Plan: The City will establish policies and procedures to ensure that all Federal awards are identified and reported accurately on future SEFAs. Planned Implementation Date: October 1, 2024 Responsible Person: City Manager

Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) – Assistance Listing No. 93.568 Recommendation: We recommend the County design controls to ensure the accounting records reconcile to the periodic financial reporting and grant close-out reports and documentation be retained.

No financial activity should be recorded to the project accounting records after the grant close out report package is completed. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: County department personnel changes have been implemented which address this deficiency. New department personnel have been properly trained by County Auditor staff as well as State grantor personnel to ensure proper compliance with all program requirements. Community Resources staff have been trained on keeping proper detailed records of all grant reports.

Mexico Water District does not agree with this finding. In response to the three projects on which these findings are based, the loan amounts, contractor bids, and the interim financing bank were voted on by the Mexico Water District Board of Trustees. All Pay Request Applications and invoices from the district and any contractors are gone over by the engineer at Dirigo Engineering and U.S.D.A., then brought to a monthly pay requisition meeting for discussion and signed off on by the engineer, U.S.D.A., and the Mexico Water District Superintendent for payment approval. Each Pay Requisition is emailed to the Mexico Water District Administrator and forwarded to the interim financing bank. Only the exact amount for this requisition is forwarded into the project account for disbursement of the exact amounts stated in the pre-approved Pay Requisition. Therefore, we feel that the process in place is sufficient. Also, it would be impractical to implement any further procedures due to limited staffing.

COMMENTS ON FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS We concur with the findings and recommendations of our auditors regarding our noncompliance as cited in the accompanying Schedule of Findings and Questioned Costs. ACTIONS TAKEN FINDING 2023-003: Section 223(a)(7) HUD Insured Loan, Assistance Listing 14.135 - AAMHA Western Hills, LLC HUD Project No. 115-115888, AAMHA KPTP, LLC HUD Project No 115-35652 and Section 223(f) HUD Insured Loan, Assistance Listing 14.155 - AAMHA Calcasieu, LLC HUD Project No 115-11280Section 223(a)(7) HUD Insured Loan, Assistance Listing 14.135.

Finding: According to the Uniform Guidance, 2 CFR 200.303 (a), non-Federal entities receiving Federal awards must establish and maintain effective internal controls over these awards. These controls must provide reasonable assurance that the entity manages the Federal award in compliance with applicable Federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of the award. A fundamental objective of an effective internal control system is to ensure that information is accurate and reliable, which includes a thorough review and approval process. The Uniform Guidance, 2 CFR Part 200, Appendix XI Compliance Supplement, May 2023, requires the Alabama Department of Labor to ensure an employer’s experience rating is properly applied, as the employer’s “experience” with the unemployment of former employees is the dominant factor in the computation of the employer’s annual state Unemployment Insurance tax rate. The Alabama Department of Labor was unable to provide audit documentation to support their review and approval of employer experience rated tax rates. The Alabama Department of Labor did not have policies and procedures in place to document the review and approval of the employer experience rated tax rates. As a result, the employer experience related tax rates could be incorrect, resulting in potential overpayments or underpayments of taxes. Recommendation: The Alabama Department of Labor should develop and document internal controls over employer experience rated tax rates to help ensure they are accurate and properly applied. Response/Views: ADOL does not agree with this finding as explained in the Request for Views CAP letter. Corrective Action Planned: Procedures were in place to ensure accuracy of information. However, the support documentation of this verification was not retained during the time of this review. Anticipated Completion Date: Additional processes to retain support documentation of this verification have already been implemented.

Finding: According to the Uniform Guidance, 2 CFR 200.303(a), non-Federal entities receiving Federal awards must establish and maintain effective internal controls over these awards. These controls must provide reasonable assurance that the entity manages the Federal award in compliance with applicable Federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of the award. The Uniform Guidance, 2 CFR Part 200, Appendix XI Compliance Supplement, May 2023, requires the Alabama Department of Labor to operate a Worker Profiling and Reemployment Services (WPRS) or Reemployment Services and Eligibility Assessments (RESEA) program. The Alabama Department of Labor operates a RESEA program. Under the RESEA program, Alabama Department of Labor staff must be promptly and appropriately notified of any eligibility issues identified during any review of a claimant’s information. Claimants are also required to attend appointments for reemployment to maintain their eligibility status. The Alabama Department of Labor has controls in place to provide notification of claimants who failed to report to scheduled RESEA appointments, however those controls were not operating as designed. While reviewing 25 claimant’s information, we noted that 8 claimants failed to report to their scheduled appointments for reemployment. These failures to appear are reported to staff at the Alabama Department of Labor and should prompt a stop of benefit payments; however, the Alabama Department of Labor did not stop payment on these 8 claimants which resulted in overpayments totaling $8,884.00. There was also one instance where Alabama Department of Labor could not provide documentation to support staff was appropriately notified of the eligibility status for a claimant. The Alabama Department of Labor’s policies and procedures did not operate as designed to prevent payments to ineligible claimants. Because the Alabama Department of Labor’s internal controls were not operating as designed, this caused benefits to be paid to ineligible claimants. Recommendation: The Alabama Department of Labor should ensure internal controls are operating as designed to help ensure payments are not made to ineligible claimants. Response/Views: ADOL does not agree with this finding as explained in the Request for Views CAP letter. Corrective Action Planned: Issues reported were beyond ADOL control due to another system shared by multiple state agencies being brought down due to cyberattack. The shared system is not the system of record for UI benefit payments. UI claim records were manually reviewed by UI staff and noted accordingly upon review. Additional measures and procedures have already been implemented in case of future occurrences. Anticipated Completion Date: Already corrected. System processes implemented in October 2023 Contact Person(s): Thomas Daniel, ADOL Unemployment Compensation Division Director
