2024-009 WIOA Cluster Matching Noncompliance Criteria: According to the Compliance Supplement, 2 CFR PART 200, APPENDIX XI, published by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for the WIOA Cluster, Local Areas: "(1) A local area may expend no more than 10 percent of the Adult, Dislocated Worker, and Youth Activities funds allocated to the local area under Sections 128(b) (WIOA, 128 Stat. 1502) and 133(b) (WIOA, 128 Stat. 1516) for within State allocations." Condition: In the current year, the Organization failed to expend no more than 10% in administrative costs in the WIOA cluster, expending 13.31%. Cause: The Organization did not properly monitor administrative expenses for the WIOA Cluster to ensure that the overall percentage allocated to administrative expenses was no more than 10%. Effect: The Organization was not in compliance with the Matching requirements under the WIOA cluster. Recommendation: We recommend that the Organization ensure that expenses - and specifically administrative expenses - be properly tracked to ensure compliance with WIOA cluster grant requirements. Response: Management concurs with the finding and recommendation. Due to the termination of awards effective June 28, 2024, FL Crown did not have the ability to reclassify administrative costs to subsequent program year awards. The new consolidated entity, LWDB 26, monitors the 10% cap with each monthly cash draw and benefits from having an interlocal agreement with Alachua County to provide administrative support services at a capped rate of 3.5% of formula awards.

Additionally, funds withdrawn from the reserve fund must be approved in advance by USDA. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: Containment: The Fiscal Manager has reviewed the loan requirements. Root Cause Due to large turnover in the fiscal team and the lack of knowledge of loan requirements. Action Taken Fiscal Manager has reviewed loan documents and requirements making ourselves familiar with the reserve account requirements.
