Finding #2023-001 HQS Enforcement Program: Housing Choice Voucher (ALN # 14.871) Condition: During the test work for ongoing compliance with Housing Choice Voucher program requirements, it was noted that the Housing Authority failed to place abatements in the appropriate month. Corrective Action: During Fiscal Year 2022-23, several new State rent increase and tenant protection laws were required to be enforced with property owners. These laws were very unpopular with property owners and the Housing Authority was left to enforce them while trying to increase its landlord base to lease its homeless vouchers. Staff began giving an additional 30 days before abatements took effect in an attempt to improve customer service and relationships with landlords. Once this was discovered, Housing Authority Management brought this matter to staff’s attention and instructed staff to revisit the Housing Choice Voucher regulations and guidance and issued a reminder of the strict requirements governing HQS enforcement. In addition, staff will be sent to the next available certification training course to be recertified in HQS/NSPIRE.

Finding 2023-001 - Return of Title IV Funds Management Response: Management concurs with the finding Views of Responsible Officials and Corrective Action Plan: Point Park University uses PowerFAIDS software to complete the Federal Return of Title IV calculation. The University reviewed the Return of Title IV process within PowerFAIDS and found that the days completed were not properly updated to exclude the days of the University's spring break from the numerator of the calculation. This resulted in an incorrect amount being returned. The University is in the process of returning the underpayment of $454 for the 2022-2023 academic year. The University is implementing an additional procedure to review each Return of Title IV calculation from PowerFAIDS prior to the issuance of the refund. A spreadsheet has been created to independently check each calculation based upon withdrawal dates, number of days in the semester, number of davs completed and factoring in break days as applicable.

The discovery of any status changes did not reach NSLDS will be manually reported directly on the NSLDS platform.

Auditor’s Recommendation: We recommend that the Agency’s Board of Director’s document the justification and approval for the exception to the Federal requirement related to stock acquisition. Agency’s Response: At its March 26th Meeting, the CCIDA Board approved an amendment to the Resolution 9-26-23-01 originally approved on September 26, 2023. The amendment includes new language that justifies the lending of funds for the acquisition of stock, which is an exception to 13 CFR Section 307.17(c)(4). Richard Dixon, CFO of the CCIDA, will oversee the process of documenting justification for similar exceptions effective immediately.

Unlike other subgrants managed by the Department of Law and Public Safety (DLPS), the subgrants in the Public Assistance program are not issued by the Department but instead are issued by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). These FEMA-issued subgrants take the form of Project Worksheets (PWs) and are directly related to a specific disaster. FEMA informs the DLPS of the approved PWs after they are issued. Given the unique nature of the PW issuance, the DLPS is not in a position to report on the FFATA Subaward Reporting System (FSRS) at the time PWs are issued. This contrasts with other grant programs overseen by the DLPS, which do allow for timely subaward reporting in FSRS. The Department will continue to work with our FEMA partners, incorporating any guidance they provide, to develop procedures that ensure subawards are reported in FSRS within the FFATA reporting requirements.

There is no change to the prior year corrective action plan provided by the Department of Human Services, Division of Medical Assistance and Health Services (DMAHS) as corrective actions have been fully implemented as of January 2023. Current Managed Care Organization (MCO) contracts no longer contain the language requiring an audit conducted specifically in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and generally accepted auditing standards and now specify that AUP reports are acceptable. Section 7.25.1(B) of the MCO Contract was updated effective January 2023 and removed the language requiring audits in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and generally accepted auditing standards, and specifies that an AUP report is acceptable per guidance provided under Medicaid and CHIP Managed Care Final Rule (CMS-2390-F) Frequently Asked Question number Q10.

The Department of Human Services’ Division of Family Development (DFD) agrees with the audit finding regarding the required submission of subawards to the FFATA Subaward Reporting System (FSRS). Due to the complexity and time required to compile and report FFATA subaward data, the DFD is in the process of creating a new full-time equivalent position (FTE) for this required federal reporting task. In accordance with the finding recommendation, the DFD will develop internal controls and procedures to ensure the timely reporting of all required subawards to FSRS. An initial review of the FSRS by DFD fiscal staff appeared to indicate that some federal grant award data that should be prepopulated by the awarding federal agency and available on the website was missing (e.g. Child Care M&M available; Discretionary not found). Staff will reach out to the necessary federal agencies to communicate instances of missing federal award information in an effort to ensure that the DFD has the ability to input the required subaward information. DFD anticipates that the assessment and development of policy and procedures related to this task will take approximately three (3) months. Staff assignment, training, and submission of federal grant subaward information to the federal website will occur over the next state fiscal year.

Based on the Corrective Action Plan (CAP) developed for the prior year FY 2022 audit finding cited for FFATA reporting, the Department of Health (DOH) Grants Unit, with coordination from the Epidemiology and Laboratory Capacity for Infectious Diseases (ELC) fiscal staff, added a new function to the System for Administering Grants Electronically (SAGE) that pulls all subaward data for the ELC program using the program’s 93.323 federal Assistance Listing Number (ALN). Thus, the CAP implemented in September 2022 for the prior year FY 2022 audit finding includes SAGE now pulling the subaward data for the entire ELC program by the ALN number and enables the ELC fiscal staff to access all ELC subawards within the DOH. ELC fiscal staff also has a task reminder set to report at the end of each month, enter subaward information into the FFATA Subaward Reporting System (FSRS), and upload each report submitted to the SharePoint ELC Document Library at the end of each month. As per the original CAP created under the FY 2022 audit, FFATA information for ELC subawards were entered into FSRS beginning on September 1, 2022 and DOH actions and efforts have continued to ensure compliance going forward.

The Department of Health’s (DOH) Vaccine Preventable Disease Program (VPDP) is in compliance with the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act (FFATA) requirements with regard to reporting all active first-tier subawards of federal COVID-19 funds that DOH divisions have issued totaling $30,000 or greater under this Cooperative Agreement and COVID-19 Supplemental. However, it is not in compliance with regard to reporting required subaward data in FSRS by the end of the month following the month in which DOH has made the subawards totaling $30,000 or greater. The VPDP will continue to follow the DOH policy set forth in FMC 22-05 and report to FSRS all active first-tier subawards of federal COVID-19 funds DOH divisions have issued at $30,000 or greater under the COVID-19 Supplementals. The VPDP fiscal/grants leadership team will strive to ensure each of the identified subawards is entered on the FFATA Subaward Reporting System (FSRS) website by the end of the month following the month that DOH has made the subawards. VPDP will continue its efforts to bring the gap in reporting to FSRS down from five months presently to within the specified FFATA submission deadlines denoted above. VPDP also has on boarded a full-time Contract Administrator 2 who will be responsible for reporting FFATA data into FSRS for the Immunization Cooperative Agreement.
