Financial reports are required to be submitted on a monthly basis within 15 days after month-end or by the specified due date per the terms of the grant agreement. In addition, performance reports are required to be submitted on a monthly basis within 15 days of month-end or by the specified due date. The financial and performance reports were submitted in a short time following the due date. The delay is attributed to turnover in the staff producing the agency's reports and the limited availability of other resources to assist. The Administrative and Service Delivery Operations of the Archdiocese of Chicago was not notified by the funder of any negative impact on its payment processing subsequent to the late submission of the financial or performance reports. Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Chicago will develop and implement a plan to monitor and ensure that reports are submitted by the established due dates. If circumstances appear to result in reporting delays, Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Chicago will promptly request an extension and obtain acknowledgement of the extension in writing from the funder. Elida Hernandez, Chief Financial Officer of Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Chicago will oversee and implement the corrective action plan by the third quarter of fiscal year 2024.

This following is submitted as our management response to the audit finding regarding Allowable Costs Reporting in the District’s FY23 Audit. At the close of Fiscal Year 2023, the District submitted a payment request for federal ESSER reimbursement, encompassing eligible employee expenses spanning multiple years in accordance with ESSER guidelines. However, an administrative oversight became apparent, as the expense codes and ASBRs for the relevant years had not been amended to align with the represented expenditures. To address this, the District is undertaking a meticulous correction process through adjusting journal entries. This corrective action will ensure that the expense codes accurately reflect the corresponding project codes and Fiscal Year expenditures. Simultaneously, the ASBRs for the affected years will be resubmitted, aligning with the requisite financial standards. Looking ahead, the District is instituting a proactive measure to prevent recurrence. The superintendent, or a designated district representative, will verify that the District's accounting software records, as compiled by the District Bookkeeper, impeccably mirror the accurate totals for expense codes, incorporating the requisite accounting codes, including project codes. This validation will be a prerequisite before any future reimbursement request for federal funds is submitted, ensuring a heightened level of precision and compliance in financial reporting. These measures underscore the District's commitment to fiscal accountability, rectifying oversights, and fortifying internal controls to uphold the integrity of financial processes. The district will begin immediately implementing the revised proactive measures and is in the process of rectifying the noted issues with corrective journal entries. This process will be updated prior to January 15, 2024. Should you need anything further from the district, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Background: One repeat finding from the 2022 fiscal year audit was identified on the Schedule of Expenditures and Federal Awards during 2023 fiscal year end audit conducted by Aldrich CPAs + Advisors LLP (Aldrich). For fiscal year 2022, Aldrich performed an audit on the major program Disaster Grants – Public Assistance (Presidentially Declared Disasters) for the monies received from the Department of Homeland Security passed through the Oregon Office of Emergency Management awarded to the City for the February 2021 Ice Storm. Management recognizes the importance of adequate procedures and internal control oversight and has rectified this finding. Management’s response and corrective plan of action for the finding follows. Finding 2023-001: 21.027 Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds Criteria: 2 CFR Part 200.302(b)(7) requires the financial management system to include written procedures for determining the allowability of costs. Condition: City of Oregon City has not developed written procedures for determining the allowability of costs.

Questioned Costs: None   Perspective: Written procedures for determining the allowability of costs is integral to the proper design of internal controls. However, the results of audit procedures did not detect any costs which are not allowable charged to the program. Recommendations: Management should develop written procedures as required by 2 CFR Part 200.302(b)(7). Responsible Official: Matt Zook, Finance Director Views of Responsible Officials: Management understands the requirement for written procedures for determining the allowability of costs. A formal policy and procedure was approved and adopted August 22, 2023.
