Findings and Questioned Costs Relating to Federal Awards: Late Single Audit Submission, Reporting Management submitted Single Audit reports up to fiscal year 2023. To address the root cause for this finding, management performed the following actions: • Management audit contracts are followed up directly by CFO to ensure timely execution to ensure audits are timely completed and planned. • Management enhancements to the finance function, such as accounting closing checklists, accounting closing meetings and reconciliation processes, among other actions, should improve the timing of audit results. Additional resources (consultants) were hired to assist in the audit process to ensure external auditors have information on a timely basis. In order to ascertain that basic and recurrent information requested by auditors is ready, management prepared an updated list of information normally requested and prepared a OneDrive (cloud backup storage) where all information will be archived and ready to be delivered to the auditors as requested. This should provide the efficiency and agility to response to auditors in a timely manner. Management successfully completed late Single Audit submissions with this 2023 Single Audit Report. With this filing, DDEC is up to date in its regulatory reports. Furthermore, with the process enhancements and improved controls implemented, DDEC expects to continue filing on or before filing due dates.

The Department of Behavioral Health (DBH) agrees with the findings. DBH will work to ensure that the time management/payroll system accurately shows where an employee’s cost is being charged. An employee was not charged to the grant even though they were noted as key personnel (100% to be charged to the grant). DBH will work with the OCFO to make sure Peoplesoft can assign attributes that can be reported to show that they were charged to the grant. In addition, DBH will review with program staff the process to have a “Letter of Temporary Detail” noting when an employee is assigned to work on the grant so that their time can be charged to the grant. DBH will have the grants management system configured so that the PDF of the Letter of Temporary Detail can be attached to the grant file.

The Department of Behavioral Health (DBH) agrees with the findings. Eligibility of Subrecipients: Training will take place for Fiscal Services Staff to ensure that screening for eligibility for the program takes place. The requirement for screening will be added as a required data element so screening can be monitored in the grants management system.

Monitoring of Subrecipients: DBH will conduct training to ensure that Fiscal and Program Monitors understand the requirements of on-going documentation to identify risk and compliance to the program. DBH will have the monitoring form created in the new grants management system so that failure to complete the documentation will trigger a system alert with an escalation process to ensure compliance.
