Finding No. 2024-003 Department(s): New York City Administration for Children’s Services and Department of Education Program(s): Assistance Listing Number 93.575, Child Care and Development Block Grant Corrective Action(s): ACS: The City is planning to transition to the New York State IT system once it is fully developed and implemented by the New York State Office of Children and Family Services and New York State Information Technology for the Child Care Assistance Program. The State IT system will be programmed to reflect current State policy on authorized hours, mitigating the risk of this error in the future. In the interim, The City will implement a short-term, manual solution that will ensure enrollments match authorized hours with regard to full time or part time enrollment and days of enrollment. The first step of the manual solution requires a feasibility analysis to see if it is possible to add a field for recording authorized hours into The City's IT system of record. DOE: The DOE will continue working with ACS to ensure compliance with internal controls, applicable state and federal statutes, regulations, requirements and guidelines. The internal controls include a quality assurance check process on submitted eligibility applications.

2024-013. Misunderstanding Caused Improper Spending of Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (SLFRF) State Agency: Governor’s Office of Planning and Budget Federal Agency: Department of the Treasury GOPB agrees with the finding. We acknowledge that GOEO mistakenly recorded $559,900 of expenditures to the SLFRF program and identified the same error during the quarterly expenditure review process. Upon identifying this error, GOPB promptly addressed the issue with GOEO so that expenditures could be corrected in the financial system before the end of the FY 2024 closeout and the July 2024 quarterly ARPA SLFRF report. Corrective Action Plan: To improve oversight and monitoring of expenditures, GOPB will work closely with GOEO to ensure that all expenditures charged to SLFRF projects comply with program requirements. GOPB will also add content to agency SLFRF trainings about regularly reviewing project ARPA SLFRF Appropriation Tracking and Documentation Forms, which outline the budget, scope, eligibility, and coding for ARPA SLFRF projects. The training will specifically emphasize the importance of each agency establishing effective internal controls for recording and reviewing ARPA SLFRF expenditures. In addition to updating its general training materials, GOPB will provide additional training to agency staff managing new projects so they understand policies and procedures. Contact Person: Duncan Evans, Senior Managing Director of Budget and Operations, 801-538-1592 Anticipated Correction Date: Completed October 31, 2024 State Agency: Governor’s Office of Economic Opportunity 1.

GOEO will participate in SLFRF trainings about regularly reviewing project ARPA SLFRF Appropriation Tracking and Documentation Forms, which outline the budget, scope, eligibility, and coding for ARPA SLFRF projects. Implementation of this plan has already begun and will be ongoing. 2. GOEO has improved internal controls. This includes improved review procedures by financial analysts and improved approval procedures by financial managers. Implementation of this plan is complete.
