Inadequate Segregation of Responsibilities – My Project USA has experienced significant growth within the organization in recent years, primarily driven by the increasing demand from the communities we serve. We recognized that there was a lack of clear segregation of duties in managing cash receipts and disbursements and therefore we established a collaborative approach to ensure secure handling of cash. The policy mandates multiple individuals' involvement in managing and accounting for cash transactions, including petty cash, program receipts, and change funds, to prevent concentration of financial control, with procedures for digital logging, weekly deposits, regular audits, and training. This collaborative system was put into place as of March 2023 to enhance accountability and security.

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.

For the year ended June 30, 2022 audit, the audit team noted that payroll, personnel costs, and other than personnel service expenses were not being allocated by cost center on a monthly basis. This issue resulted in errors in the amount charged to various programs resulting in the need for a material allocation adjustment. In accordance with Uniform Guidance 200.405, costs that benefit multiple programs should be allocated to the programs based on the proportional benefit. Lincoln Hall did not have the adequate cost allocation mechanisms in place to properly allocate expenses throughout the year. We have been taking several steps to address the issue with allocating costs. The Federal Award Finding and Questioned Costs Finding Number 2022-002 is a result of the initial way in which the general ledger and payroll systems were set up, requiring the majority of allocation work to be done manually in Excel. These manual allocations were done in detail after fiscal year-end to ensure our financial statements at year-end were not misstated. However, this detailed allocation work was not being done on a monthly basis. We have upgraded the Serenic Navigator accounting system two times to improve its accounting capabilities and have also implemented additional allocation processes including allocation of payroll expenses of federal awards. We currently use line-item allocations in The Serenic Navigator for direct costs that are allocated when invoices are paid. During FY 2022 we are continuing to review and revise our process in order to allocate expenses (particularly payroll costs) in the general ledger on a monthly basis for allocations in the past that were performed at the end of the fiscal year. The goal of our corrective actions is to significantly limit the material reallocation of costs by function at year-end and provide us with accurate cost allocations on a monthly basis. This will allow for more accurate reporting on a month-to-month basis and, therefore, will generate more timely and accurate financial information, thereby improving our compliance with cash management during the grant period.

For the year ended June 30, 2022 audit, the audit team noted that payroll and personnel costs were not being recorded in the payroll system correctly on a monthly basis. This issue resulted in errors in the amount charged to various programs during the year and resulted in the need for a material allocation adjustment after fiscal year-end. As payroll allocations were a major driver in other than personnel service (OTPS) expense allocations, OTPS costs also required material allocations adjustments at year end. Lincoln Hall has continued our remedial efforts for this audit findings. In 2017, we upgraded the Serenic Navigator accounting software from the 2007 version to the 2013 version, and from the 2013 version to the 2017 version in December 2019. The intent of these upgrades was to strengthen our controls and visibility into accounting records. Furthermore, we have been working on correcting the accounting process related to charging payroll and other applicable costs directly to the appropriate programs. Lincoln Hall began the process of reviewing its financial system and processes and implementing changes in fiscal year (FY) 2020 though these process changes took longer than originally expected due to delays as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Process changes have been implemented but we are currently still working to “de bug” certain parts of our allocation and direct charge processes; these are captured in the corrective action plan. For example, internal controls have been improved upon ensuring that employees are appropriately classified to programs within the Paychex system. Reviews are performed each pay period to verify employee’s allocability to programs.   We believe that these actions will make a significant impact in preventing the material reallocation of costs by function at year-end and provide us with accurate cost allocations on a monthly basis.

The City of Lennox's Mayor, Stacy DuChene, is the contact person responsible for the corrective action plan for this finding. Because of the size of the City of Lennox, the municipality can't support hiring additional staff that would be sufficient to support the internal controls needed to properly segregate duties. The Mayor, City Council Members and Finance employees are aware of the problem. We will continue to work on different policies and controls that will help minimize future risk. This is an ongoing process that will include input from the Legislative Auditors Office, discussion with other municipalities and utilizing the City Administrator, Mayor, and Council in some of the financial controls.
