Upon conducting the FY21 audit, TAS’ Director of Finance was informed that the inclusion of the Biological Expertise line item on federal budgets (approx. 7.5% additional uplift) was not allowable as it was currently being calculated. TAS is allowed a 10% de minimus rate on noted FY22 Federal awards some of which also included a Biological Expertise line item that is budgeted as an hourly rate. TAS had been calculating uplift amounts owed by simply adding the Biological Expertise (7.5%) to the de minimus rate (10%) for a total uplift of 17.5%. This was done at the direction and approval of our federal partners. However, due to Biological Expertise being entered in the federal and approved budgets as an hourly line item and not a percentage TAS was considered out of compliance by using this method of calculation. Moving forward TAS will be billing the de minimus rate (10%) as a percentage, unless otherwise noted in the agreement.

FINDINGS- FINANCIAL STATEMENT AUDIT SIGNFICANT DEFICIENCY Finding 2022-001 - Reporting : The U.S. Economic Development Administration ALN # 11 .307 require reports to the appropriate federal agency for revolving loan funds and grants. Response to Audit Finding 2022-001 : Background: In March of 2022 , NARCOG had a transition of leadership in the Finance Department. The new Finance Director had to be set up as an authorized representative for the organization before reporting could be submitted, which caused a delay in reporting in a timely manner. The Finance Director is still learning the process and requirements of the financial data for the reporting. Conclusion: Going forward NARCOG will have a three-member team to ensure that reporting is submitted in a timely manner. The Finance Director, Executive Director, and Planning Director will all have the capability of completing and submitting reports.

To ensure both subleases and master leases are obtained and properly uploaded to each tenant's electronic file, a standardized checklist is now used at lease signing and annual recertification. This process verifies that all required documents supporting rent reasonableness are collected and uploaded to the tenant's electronic file. Monthly ROI (Release of Information) reports are reviewed to identify upcoming expirations and prompt timely recertifications. Recertification documentation is first reviewed by the Housing Administrative Supervisor for accuracy and completeness, followed by final review and approval from the Director of Housing.

The individual random client sample of 60 participants did not detect any duplications. However, as a new administrator we became aware of the duplicates as identified in the reconciliation provided to the auditors. The manual process used contributed to the duplications in ERA1 and ERA2. The duplications do not appear to be more than the allowable limits. If United Way of Marion County, Inc. would take on such a large endeavor in the future the organization would invest in a digital system. As the new President & CEO, I did my own sampling from the paper applications and payments for examination and gain knowledge of how system change would provide improved internal controls.
