REFERENCE # 2022-004 CASH MANAGEMENT – MATERIAL WEAKNESS- NONCOMPLIANCE Program Name/ALN Emergency Food and Shelter National Board Program (ALN # 97.024) Criteria: Non-Federal Entities Other Than States- Non-federal entities must minimize the time elapsing between the transfer of funds from the US Treasury or pass-through entity and disbursement by the non-federal entity for direct program or project costs and the proportionate share of allowable indirect costs, whether the payment is made by electronic funds transfer, or issuance or redemption of checks, warrants, or payment by other means (2 CFR section 200.305(b)). What constitutes minimized elapsed time for funds transfer will depend on what payment system/method a non-federal entity uses. Under the advance payment method, federal awarding agency or pass-through entity payment is made to the non-federal entity before the non-federal entity disburses the funds for program purposes (2 CFR section 200.3). A non-federal entity must be paid in advance provided that it maintains, or demonstrates the willingness to maintain, both written procedures that minimize the time elapsing between the transfer of funds from the US Treasury and disbursement by the non-federal entity, as well as a financial management system that meets the specified standards for fund control and accountability (2 CFR section 200.305(b)(1)). Condition/Context: Division receive Emergency Food and Shelter National Board Program funds from the U.S. Department Homeland security/FEMA and various pass-through entities. Division receives advance funds from the pass-through agency and incurred program expenditures. Of the Sixty (60) files selected for testing We noted that the Division: (1) Does not have written procedures that minimize the time elapsing between the transfer of funds from the Pass-through entity and disbursement by the Division. Questioned Costs: Cannot be determined Recommendation: We recommend Division minimize the time elapsing between the transfer of funds from the Pass-through entity and disbursement by the Division. Corrective Action Plan: The Division will strive to minimize the time elapsing between the transfer of funds from the Pass-through entity and disbursement by the Division.

Late Reporting and Noncompliance with Reporting Requirements Name of Contact Person: Ross Waddell Corrective Action Plan: The Native Village of Barrow (NVB) experienced significant operational disruption as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, including the loss of several long-term employees. Due to the limited availability of qualified personnel in the local labor market, these vacancies were difficult to fill, which resulted in delays and backlogs in financial accounting and reporting functions. While efforts to establish a long-term staffing solution remained ongoing during 2022, NVB was required to engage out-of-town contract personnel and implement a transition of accounting and payroll systems during FY 2022, as sufficient internal expertise with the legacy systems was no longer available. For FY 2023, all financial activity was processed using a single accounting and payroll system (QuickBooks). However, FY 2022 required extensive reconciliation and integration of data from two separate systems to ensure accurate financial reporting for grant compliance and audit purposes. As a result of the circumstances described above, audited financial statements for FY 2023 and FY 2024 will not be issued in a timely manner. NVB was able to get grant reporting current by the end of calendar year 2025. Management is actively working to complete the accounting records for FY 2023 through FY 2025 to facilitate the timely completion of the upcoming audits. Proposed Completion Date: December 31, 2025.

Child Care and Development Block Grant– Assistance Listing No. 93.575 Recommendation: We recommend that the Organization consider updating its cost allocation methodology and process to reduce the frequency of manual adjustments based on review of individual time records and expense data and maximize the use of automated allocations that are calculated in a consistent manner that ensure costs are applied uniformly to respective benefited activities, and that are reflective on employees’ time and effort records Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: The YMCAs overhead structure differs from department to department, which makes it difficult to develop a common framework. And quite often the Federal or State agency is prescriptive when it publishes its grant guidelines. Though these grants are developed and submitted more centrally than in the past; nonetheless we will endeavor to develop a common listing of approved cost allocations.
