Planned Corrective Action: While we agree that the submission dates lagged the scheduled dates, we do not agree that this condition rises to the level of a material weakness in internal controls over reporting. BVCOG submitted their audited financial statements for fiscal year 2022 through the Federal Audit Clearinghouse (FAC) on June 30, 2023, which is prior to June 30, 2023. BVCOG awaits receipt of their audited financial fiscal year 2023 in order to submit them to the FAC. The audited fiscal year 2022 financial statements were submitted separately to HUD on November 22, 2023. HUD approved our submission without notice of delay. Unaudited financial statements for the fiscal year ending 2023 were submitted and accepted by HUD, with no point score deduction penalties or requests for corrective action. The timing of HUD’s Real Estate Assessment Center (REAC) report submission depends on acceptance of the previous unaudited or audited financial statements. The REAC submissions require that each year’s unaudited submission be approved by HUD before the audited submission can be submitted; further, both submissions for a year must be accepted by HUD before the next year’s submissions can be completed. Due to various factors including the COVID-19 pandemic and Winter Storm Uri in 2021, the Fiscal Year 2020 unaudited submission process completed April 2022. Subsequent staff turnover delayed the submission of the audited 2020 submission until August 2023. Once that submission was approved by HUD, the 2021 and 2022 submissions were completed by the end of November 2023. BVCOG realizes its REAC submission procedures rely on institutional knowledge and addressed this risk by engaging an outside CPA firm with personnel knowledgeable of the REAC system. This arrangement ensures additional cross-training opportunities in the future for current finance staff such that, if a key staff person leaves, there will be others in the department who know and understand the procedures necessary for compliance with HUD deadlines.

Community Development Block Grant and COVID-19 Community Development Block Grant – Material Weakness Condition: During testing of the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act (FFATA) reports, it was noted that no FFATA reporting had been completed during the year ended December 31, 2023. Recommendation: We recommend that the County continue with the process being implemented during the fiscal year 2024, which includes completing submission of the reports and tracking the timely submission of the FFATA reports. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: With significant turnover of tenured leadership and employees within the Community Resources Department, Arapahoe County Community Resources took proactive measures in 2023 for review of the Community Development Housing and Homeless Services (CDHHS) programs (CDBG and HOME Investment) by recognized consultants within the field. Community Resources has contracted with two consultants, to assist in a full review and re-development of policies and procedures (Civitas) for the CDBG and HOME programs as well as a full review of all case files (Affordable Housing Consultants). Included with this response are the contracts with both Civitas and Affordable Housing Consultants for verification purposes. The County anticipates their work to be completed and an implementation of updated policies and procedures for these programs by fall of 2024. In response to the direct finding of no FFATA reporting during the year ending December 31st, 2023, Arapahoe County has ensured the entry of all sampled contracts. Demonstration of the report submissions have been submitted for verification purposes. It is important to note that all sub-agreements included the necessary FFATA information for the review period, but Community Resources failed to ensure that this information was entered into the FFATA Subaward Reporting System (FSRS). To ensure internal controls are in place for the FFATA’s timely and accurate submissions for all future subawards, Arapahoe County’s Community Resources Department has created the following internal controls and governance: 1. Creation of the FFATA Reporting Form which will be completed and submitted along with all future subaward agreements and includes all necessary information for complete and accurate submittal into FSRS. 2. Creation of the FFATA Subrecipient Reporting Work Instructions which detail the process, to include roles and responsibilities, for the completion and entry of the FFATA. 3. Update to our Grant Administration Policy which includes the requirement to complete and enter the FFATA in our grant administration oversight and track timely submission of the reports.
