FINDINGS?FEDERAL AWARD PROGRAMS AUDITS U.S. Department of Agriculture 2022-003 SNAP Employment and Training Program ? Assistance Listing No. 10.537 Recommendation: We recommend that management improve internal control monitoring activities and provide training to staff regarding timely reimbursement requests. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: This deficiency was caused as a result of the change in personnel. In late 2021, all of the accounting personnel for Help left the company and were replaced. Unfortunately, due to this untimely and unexpected departure of key personnel, Help management was unaware of some necessary processes and was not able to properly train the new staff in all matters. Help management will provide additional training to those responsible for preparation and review of the reimbursement requests. In addition, processes will be implemented to ensure that all reimbursement requests are completed on a timely basis in accordance with funding requirements.

Management?s view: Management is in agreement that the tenant eligibility age according to the regulatory agreement is 62. Through miscommunication, the property staff incorrectly believed that non-subsidized units were not subject to the minimum age of 62, but that the minimum age of 55 was allowable in keeping with current trends and fair housing standards. Proposed corrective action: Management has adopted the proper age restriction in accordance with HUD requirements at a minimum of 62. Communication has been made to property staff regarding the proper/correct age restriction. Management is also adopting the auditor?s recommendation of requesting a waiver from HUD in order to maintain the economic soundness of the property. Anticipated correction date: 7/15/2022. Responsible official: Jerry Burkholder, Monarch Properties, Inc. Management Agent.

Finding No. 2022-003 Matching, Level of Effort, Earmarking Responsible Personnel: Danielle E. Camacho, Acting Comptroller This finding is a result of a grant amendment having only covered a change in the grant amount and not the period of performance. The Authority had requested for an amendment to AIP 101 on December 15, 2020?nine months prior to the period of performance (POP) expiration. The amendment was issued by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) on January 4, 2022?over three months after the POP expiration. Finding No. 2022-003 Matching, Level of Effort, Earmarking, continued Upon clarification with the FAA, the Authority took corrective measures to address the miscommunication on the agreement extension and has settled the issue. The Authority will ensure it reviews the terms of grant amendments for critical information, such as changes to POP dates, to reinforce its current controls over compliance with applicable matching, level of effort, and earmarking requirements to prevent similar findings in the future.

The County disagrees with regard to the inclusion of this assessment in the schedule of findings. The County adheres to the provisions outlined in 2 CFR section 180.995, which imposes a comprehensive verification process to ascertain that vendors are not under suspension or debarment prior to engaging in any contractual agreements. Federal guidance does not mandate the retention of documentation as evidence of the review conducted on SAM.gov's exclusions. Furthermore, in compliance with periodic federal reporting requirements, the County is obligated to report all transactions with vendors that exceed the threshold of $25,000. In this reporting, the County is obliged to furnish the vendors' business information, along with their Unique Entity Identifier (UEI). It is important to emphasize that any reimbursement requests as part of this reporting are reduced by any payments made to vendors who are suspended or disbarred. In light of the foregoing, the Auditor's Office recommends each department designate a staff member tasked with the responsibility of conducting the initial suspension and debarment verification for any vendor considered for procurement or agreements exceeding the aforementioned threshold. The results of this verification should be documented, and a screenshot or excerpt of the search should be securely stored in cloud support. The Auditor's Office will perform a thorough review of these records during the audit of requisitions or invoices.

Finding #2022-001 ? Limited Segregation of Duties (Prior Year Finding #2021-001) Condition: The available office staff precludes a proper segregation of duties in the control areas reviewed. Effect: Because of the lack of segregation of duties, errors or irregularities could occur and not be detected on a timely basis. Cause: The condition is due to limited staff available. Criteria: Internal controls should be in place that provide adequate segregation of duties. Generally, a system of internal control contemplates separation of duties such that no individual has responsibility to execute a transaction, have physical access to the related assets, and have responsibility or authority to record the transaction. Recommendation: Procedures should be implemented segregating duties among different employees. Management should continue to maintain a working knowledge of matters relating to the district?s operations. Response: We agree with this finding and continue to work to achieve segregation of duties whenever cost effective. The cash disbursements process includes approval of purchase orders and matching of approved purchase orders with invoices. Review of account coding is performed by the district accounting staff. The payroll disbursement process includes approval of timesheets and review of coding on an ongoing basis. The Board of Education reviews budget to actual information along with disbursement information monthly. Contact Person: Cheryl Troost Anticipated Completion: Not applicable

Continued internal monitoring/auditing of the ECBOE CNP Departments finances will continue.

Corrective Action Plan: To address the accuracy and timeliness of our entries into the FFATA system, we will use the USASPENDING.GOV website to assist us in reconciling what has been entered into the FFATA system. This will allow us to ensure that our grant ledgers agree with what is entered into FFATA. This will be a reconciliation completed at least quarterly (following SOV fiscal year quarters) and will be completed by the Deputy CFO or position assigned by the Deputy CFO. We will also implement a process that will have all the steps necessary for a grant award or an amendment to ensure it is posted properly within our internal files and the external systems. This will ensure that new awards and amendments get routed and entered in the FFATA system timely. Our finance team also attended a FFATA training on February 3, 2023 for additional training on the FFATA system. We will look into the Batch upload process which was described in that training.
