Controls over Payroll charged to Federal Awards Condition: The YMCA is responsible for ensuring that support for all federal expenditures including payroll charged to federal grants is properly maintained. Criteria: Internal controls need to be sufficient to ensure that support for federal expenditures is available, including payroll records that agree to amounts charged to federal grants. Cause: The YMCA experienced turnover in the accounting department. Records were not maintained to support payroll costs charged to federal grants. Effect: When adequate support is not obtained and used to support the amount charged to the federal program or support by an after-the-fact review, there is a risk that unsupported or inaccurate costs are being charged to the federal program. Recommendation: We recommend proper control activities should be implemented to allow for a consistent, accurate, and allowable method to support distribution of personnel charges to federal programs. If management elects to continue to allocate personnel charged based on a budget estimate, the after-the-fact review should be properly documented. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Action: The CFO, along with the financial team will impelment a process to perform timely review of salary expense charged to federal awards, and retain records by pay period as support for expenditures charged to federal awards.

Name, address, and telephone of District contact person: Ruby Perez 1620 S. Pioneer Way Moses Lake, WA 98837 (509) 766-2650 Corrective action the auditee plans to take in response to the finding: The District acknowledges the finding and has implemented new procedures to ensure strong internal controls over time-and-effort documentation. This issue primarily occurred during a period of staff turnover. The District has since hired experienced personnel who are now overseeing federal program compliance. We have implemented a compliant time-and-effort tracking system consistent with OSPI and federal requirements. Documentation—whether semiannual certifications or monthly reports, as applicable—is collected, reviewed, and retained in accordance with the type of funding allocation. All documentation is reviewed by both the Business Office and program administrators to ensure accuracy. Monthly monitoring and required training for relevant staff are now embedded into our internal processes. The district is committed to ensuring accuracy and accountability in all federally funded programs. Anticipated date to complete the corrective action: August 31, 2025

Apprenti agrees with the finding and acknowledges the importance of maintaining a full audit trail for all disbursement approvals. Apprenti adhered to its internal controls over compliance with allowable costs in accordance with 2 CFR Part 200 for all nonpayroll expenditures and had no findings in prior Single Audits. However, due to a financial system migration, the audit trail documenting approval workflows for certain transactions was lost and could not be recovered or reconstructed. To prevent similar issues in the future and reinforce compliance, Apprenti has implemented the following corrective action: System Audit Trail Safeguards: Post‐migration, Apprenti implemented robust data retention protocols across both primary and backup financial systems to ensure that all approval workflows are securely preserved and transferable in the event of future system changes or migrations.

Finding 2024-003 Federal assistance listing number and name: 10.415 Rural Rent Housing Loans Awards numbers and years: 2024 Federal agency: United States Department of Agriculture Compliance Requirement: Activities allowed or unallowed, allowable costs/ cash management, eligibility, equipment, period of performance, procurement, program income, reporting, special tests Questioned Costs: None Name of contact person and title: Pat Bishop, President Condition and Context: Management has requested that the auditor propose certain year-end adjustments to bring the financial statements into conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). For example, cash to accrual adjustments, depreciation calculations and adjustments, adjustments to debt and interest expense, interest subsidy adjustments, etc. Management Response: Management has evaluated the risk that a material misstatement might occur and not be detected in the financial statements. Management believes that the risk of material misstatement is not significant for the following reasons: 1. The entries are standard entries required to be made each year. If an entry was not made it would be obvious in the financial statements. A calculation error that would be material to the financial statements would also be obvious. 2. Management reviews and approves both the proposed adjusting journal entries and the financial statements prior to release. Based upon management’s consideration of the risk of material misstatement, management believes the costs of hiring, training, and monitoring part-time accounting personnel far exceed any potential benefits from implementing additional controls. Status: In progress Anticipated Completion Date: Estimated 2025

The Director of Grants and Contracts for Queens Legal Services has spoken to the supervisor for the paralegals responsible for the errors in these cases, who has spoken to the paralegals. The Compliance Officer is working with LSNYC's LegalServer Support IT specialist to see if the platform can be customized so that LSC Eligibility Overrides can only be used to go from Yes to No (as is necessary when we have open a duplicate case for a client, since only one case can be LSC eligible), which is the only acceptable way for LSC Eligibility Overrides to work. The Compliance Officer will work with the Citywide Director of Intake to develop written materials that (1) remind intake staff to exclude primary residences from Asset totals, which has always been and will continue to be part of financial eligibility training; (2) remind intake staff that an Asset Override may only be made with the written approval of a supervisor (who will review to make sure that the assets legitimately exceed the asset ceiling) documented in the case file; and (3) explain to intake staff the appropriate use of each of the override fields - income overrides, asset overrides, and LSC Eligibility overrides.

The Compliance Officer met with the Grants and Contracts team from Manhattan Legal Services about the income ineligible case and discussed systems for ensuring that supervisors review the monthly compliance cleanup reports and make the identified corrections as instructed. They will reiterate to all staff that the LSC income eligibility category in our case management system, LegalServer, is unrelated to income eligibility criteria for individual contracts and that while LSNYC may represent a client who is not LSC income eligible using funds for which that is permissible, those cases must be marked as LSC income ineligible. The intake paralegal responsible for the erroneous override will get remedial instructions on removing such overrides rather than leaving them in place. Additionally, the Compliance Officer has been meeting with staff in other boroughs who distribute monthly cleanup reports to evaluate their practices for ensuring corrections are made in response to the reports. The Compliance Officer and Citywide Director of Intake Services will continue to train on how the LSC income eligibility criteria are to be applied, and that No should be selected for LSC income eligibility even when a client is income eligible under other funders’ contracts. The Director of Grants and Contracts for Queens Legal Services has spoken to the attorney and supervisor responsible for the incorrect LSC Eligibility Override Note in the asset-ineligible case. The Compliance Officer is working with LSNYC's LegalServer Support IT specialist to see if the platform can be customized so that LSC Eligibility Overrides can only be used to go from Yes to No (as is necessary when we have open a duplicate case for a client, since only one case can be LSC eligible), which is the only acceptable way for LSC Eligibility Overrides to work. The Compliance Officer and the Citywide Director of Intake will continue to train staff on the LSC asset eligibility criteria and stress that although we can accept clients whose assets exceed the LSC asset ceiling, no one should be selected for Asset and LSC eligibility for those cases.

Description of Finding: Sliding fee discounts were given to five of the 40 patients tested that were inconsistent with the Health Center’s sliding fee discount policy. Statement of Concurrence: Shasta Community Health Center (SCHC) management agrees with the finding related to sliding fee discounts being provided to a small number of patients inconsistent with the Health Center’s sliding fee discount policy. The finding suggests that staff miscalculated which discount these patients would qualify for based on the income documented on the sliding fee forms. This miscalculation caused incorrect sliding fee discounts to be provided. Corrective Action: Miscalculations seem to be the leading cause of the errors noted by the auditors. Ongoing training/internal audits needs to be more robust to ensure staff understand and accurately calculate which discount the patient qualifies for. Center Managers shall review the slide audits to determine which employees are making errors and provide re-training or corrective action as applicable and document/monitor for improvement. In addition, SCHC is in the process of launching a computer-based patient form completion system, which will calculate the slide fee automatically, removing much of the human element, and thereby greatly reducing the likelihood of miscalculation. We will continue to perform audits on the new process to ensure we see an improvement in our administration of the sliding fee discount program. Individual Primarily Responsible for Corrective Action: Chief Operations Officer Projected Completion Date: Center Managers will begin documenting retraining/corrective action taken based on sliding fee audit starting June 2024. SCHC is in the process of creating the electronic forms needed to launch the computer-based registration and income verification. We expect the forms to be ready to go live late Fall, early Winter.
