Finding: 2024-026 — Department of Education and Early Development’s (DEED) child nutrition services management authorized Summer 2021 Pandemic Electronic Benefit Transfer Food Benefits (P-EBT) benefits for ineligible children. Questioned Costs: AL 10.542: $62,816 Assistance Listing Number: 10.542 Assistance Listing Title: P-EBT COVID- 19 Views of Responsible Officials (state whether your agency agrees or disagrees with the finding; if you disagree, briefly explain why): The department agrees with Finding 2024-026. Corrective Action (corrective action planned): As the program is complete no corrective action can be taken for the Summer P-EBT program. If a new Summer EBT program is implemented, the department would work to implement a combination of standard operating procedures and automated electronic data validation processes to prevent erroneous benefit issuance. The department did not have sufficient time or resources to establish such features when implementing Pandemic EBT due to the urgent nature of the program.

Finding Reference Number: 2024-001 Description of Finding: Expenditures totaling $273,298 were incorrectly charged to the 93.464 program for a fiscal year in which the costs were not actually incurred. This misclassification resulted from recording expenses based on the purchase order date (September 30) rather than the actual service date, leading to overbilling for the grant year. Statement of Concurrence or Nonconcurrence: We concur with the audit finding regarding the misclassification of expenditures totaling $273,298 to the 93.464 program after the fiscal year-end. We acknowledge that these costs were recorded in the incorrect accounting period, resulting in an overstatement of grant expenditures for the fiscal year. Corrective Action: 1. Policy Update: CFILC will revise expense recognition policies to require that costs be recorded in the period matching the actual service date. 2. Year-End Review Process: CFILC will implement a formal review process at fiscal year-end to confirm expenses are attributed to the correct fiscal year. 3. Staff Training: CFILC will provide training for financial reporting and grant billing staff on the expense recognition policy and year-end review process. 4. Monitoring & Compliance: CFILC will establish periodic internal audits or reviews to ensure ongoing compliance with the updated procedures. 5. Finance Committee Oversight: Executive Director will report to the Finance Committee on the status of this corrective action plan by the completion date of December 31, 2025.

FINDINGS - MAJOR FEDERAL AWARD PROGRAM AUDIT Department of Housing and Urban Development Finding, 2024-004: Major Programs: Capital Advance Program, Federal Assistance Listing Number 14.U01 and Section 8 New Construction and Substantial Rehabilitation, Federal Assistance Listing Number 14.182 RECOMMENDATION The auditor recommends the Property receive HUD approval before withdrawing funds from its residual receipts account and repay the $163,679 to the residual receipts account. ACTION TAKEN Carrasquillo Management LLC acknowledges the finding regarding the unauthorized withdrawal of $163,679 from the Project’s residual receipts account during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024. This withdrawal was related to surplus cash from fiscal year 2023 that had been deposited into the residual receipts account. Due to miscommunication and misunderstanding during the transition between management companies, the withdrawal was made without obtaining prior written approval from HUD, as required under HUD Handbook 4370.2 Revision 1. Corrective Actions: 1. Repayment Agreement with HUD Carrasquillo Management LLC has been in direct communication with the Project’s HUD Account Executive, Nyal McDonough, of the Northeast Region Asset Management Division. HUD has agreed to allow the Project to repay the full $163,679 through monthly installments as part of an interest-free repayment plan until the balance is fully restored to the residual receipts account. This agreement is currently being implemented and tracked in coordination with HUD. 2. Internal Compliance Controls To ensure full compliance going forward, Carrasquillo Management LLC has updated internal policies and procedures to strictly prohibit any withdrawals from the residual receipts account without explicit written authorization from HUD. All future requests for residual receipts will be submitted through HUD’s formal request channels, and no funds will be accessed without prior written approval. 3. Staff Training Relevant personnel have received training on HUD Handbook 4370.2 and HUD financial controls regarding restricted accounts. Additional safeguards are in place to ensure management and accounting teams confirm HUD approval documentation before any restricted account disbursement. 4. Monthly Monitoring and Reporting Carrasquillo Management LLC will include the residual receipts repayment schedule in its monthly financial reporting to ownership and will maintain communication with HUD to ensure full transparency throughout the repayment period. Carrasquillo Management LLC is committed to full regulatory compliance and to restoring the integrity of all project accounts in collaboration with HUD.

Views of responsible officials and planned corrective actions: The documentation supporting program check requests is maintained by the program staff in the client files. When requesting a disbursement for a client, the case manager prepares a check request after following the process prescribed by the program and contract for determining an allowable disbursement. The check request is then reviewed and approved by a supervisor who also checks for eligibility and allowability of the disbursement. Only the approved check request is provided to the finance office to create the disbursement to avoid duplication of records. The client files and these records have been reviewed during site visits and previous audits without exception and with no delay in providing requested information. To further improve this process, however, the program has added a new form to be completed for each new client’s rental costs clearly identifying the costs to be paid and the source information for those costs. The supervisor reviewing disbursement requests will also affirmatively indicate on the check request that they have verified this documentation in the client file.

This finding is classified as a repeat finding due to the timing of the audit process. The Single Audit Report for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023 was issued on June 14, 2024. Therefore, the same grant reporting process was in place during the majority of fiscal year 2024. As a result, El Proyecto did not have a reasonable opportunity to implement corrective actions for the full fiscal year 2024. Nonetheless, El Proyecto acknowledges the finding and has since taken steps to strengthen monitoring measures to prevent recurrence.
