Condition: Payments for expenditures associated with debt service obligations were expensed to the program but not disbursed to the debt holder. Cause: Internal controls in place did not ensure expenditures recorded met the federal compliance requirements for Allowable Costs/Cost Principles as defined in 2 CFR Part 200. Auditor Recommendation: We recommend the District enhance internal controls to ensure that eligible expenditures have been incurred prior to recording the expense. Plan of Action: The District has hired a Finance Director who has committed to increased financial monitoring to ensure federal compliance principles are met. In addition, the district has hired a new Operations Manager and District Accountant. The new team is committed to enhancing and adhering to internal controls to ensure proper monitoring of policies and procedures. In the event that there are questions about compliance for grants in general, the District will continue to rely on timely guidance from external governmental accounting consultants, the Oregon Department of Revenue, and the Oregon Department of Education. Date of implementation: Immediately and ongoing.

The deficiency of lack of proper documentation for two mobile distributions is due to oversite by our agency relations team to ensure proper recipient paperwork is maintained at each mobile distribution. Our added mobile distributions to meet the increased need for food in our community has tripled this workload. Staff has been retrained to ensure the proper paperwork is filed. Mississippi DHS alleges our food bank has not provided adequate supporting documentation for two TEFAP contracts ending September 30, 2022. The CEO of the food bank and many staff members worked with MS DHS for 14 months and feel we have provided everything requested and cooperated every way we can. This was our first contract with MS DHS and the learning curve for reporting has been great. The reimbursement request by MS DHS is currently being appealed.

2023-06 Material Weakness: During annual audit testing it was found that one member of the GEODC staff was preparing and reviewing federal grant reports. The reports did not accurately reflect the grant activity. Incorrect reporting led EDA to close the grant without question and results in a questioned cost of $131,986 and a material weakness in internal control over compliance pertaining to Reporting being reported in the audit reporting package. Recommendation: It was recommended GEODC improve controls over compliance for reporting by designating grant reporting to one member of the GEODC staff and review of the reports to a different staff member. The staff member directly involved in the financial accounting function of GEODC should perform one of these duties. Action Taken: GEODC staff are in agreement with the recommendation and will improve controls over compliance for reporting by designating grant reporting to one member of the GEODC staff and review of the reports to a different staff member, making sure the staff member directly involved in the financial accounting function of GEODC performs one of these duties.

Federal Program Name: • Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds – ALN 21.027 • Block Grants for Prevention and Treatment of Substance Abuse – ALN 93.959 Recommendation: Our auditors recommended the Organization update their method of allocating expenditures to federal awards based on the incurred date, rather than paid date. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: Management concurs with the audit finding. The previous process for grant salary, fringe, and indirect billings was based on salary paid date and therefore on a cash basis rather than accrual. The policy and process were immediately updated when the issue was identified during the fiscal year 2022 audit to bill based on period incurred rather than paid date, but the issue was identified after the invoices in question were sent. Revised invoices were not sent as total costs incurred during the period of the award, excluding the amounts noted in the finding, were still well over and above the award amount. All questioned costs were allowable but were outside the grant period and there are other eligible expenses during the period of performance which could have been billed to fully draw down on the award. Name(s) of the contact person(s) responsible for corrective action: CFO, Controller, and Grants Manager Planned completion date for corrective action plan: Will implement in fiscal year 2024

All County Department of Social Services employees which provide direct services must maintain daysheets in accordance with the NC Department of Social Services Information System Policy. Recommendation: Require the County Program Directors to implement procedures to ensure that daysheets are properly supported by documentation of time charged to each program. Corrective Action/Management’s Response: Management concurs with this finding and will adhere to the Corrective Action Plan in this audit report. The County has implemented the following process: Daysheet/Documentation Reviews: • QA are conducting random checks bi-weekly to ensure daysheets and documentation are coded correctly. • QA maintains a log of all audits completed. • Audit results are sent to supervisors and social workers for review of the findings. If errors are found discussion takes place regarding how to correct errors. • Supervisors conduct random checks of daysheets and discuss finding during supervision. • All new staff are required within 30 days to watch the state webinar on daysheet entry and take a quiz to insure comprehension. • Daysheet trainings are conducted twice a year for all staff. • DSS Management will work with the Gaston County IT department to upgrade the current daysheet system to allow for better tracking of employee daysheets. • Children and Family Services supervisors will be required to conduct 1 intensive daysheet review per worker each month, attaching eligibility determination paperwork, narratives verifying the work, and ensuring the appropriate funding code is used in daysheets. This paperwork will be reviewed by the program coordinator and administer via an electronic system (Polimorphic). • Supervisors will ensure daysheets are current within 7 days, minimizing errors, and ensuring accuracy. Proposed Completion Date: Management and the Board will implement the above procedures immediately.

Findings – Financial Statement Audit NONE. Findings – Federal Award Programs Audits Department of Health and Human Services 2023-001: Unaccompanied Alien Children – ALN #93.676, Activities Allowed/Unallowed; Allowable Costs and Period of Performance and controls over Activities Allowed/Unallowed; Allowable Costs and Period of Performance. Significant Deficiency Criteria and Condition: Under the requirements of the Uniform Guidance, the drawdown of federal funds must be based on actual expenditures incurred. Context: We tested twenty-five reimbursed amounts from various awards. We noted two instances where the Organization obtained federal funds without incurring the actual expenditure. We also noted one instance where the expenditure occurred outside of the budget period. Cause: The Organization did not properly allocate expenditures within their general ledger and did not have an adequate review process in place. Effect: The lack of an adequate review process can cause federal funds to be obtained prior to the actual expenditure is incurred. Recommendation: We recommend that the Organization develop a review process to ensure the drawdown of federal funds does not occur before funds are expended and that the Organization submit expenditures incurred in the budget period. Action Taken: Management has implemented enhanced review processes to ensure the drawdown of Federal funds does not occur before funds are expended and that enCircle submits only expenditures incurred during the budget period.
