The audit testing in question related to transactions that occurred from October 1, 2020, to December 31, 2021. At this time, due to COVID and the use of Charity CFO, an outside accounting organization, to record and manage our transactions, 9/11 Day chose to track federal expenditures independently and internally through accounting spreadsheets. Although these transactions were included in 9/11 Day Quickbooks software as well, Charity CFO did not separate them under categories that identified them as federal grant expenses. At the request of the Auditor, 9/11 Day reviewed and reconciled these federal transactions in Quickbooks, without discrepancies. Beginning in 2023, we began tracking federal grant expenses and revenue in Quickbooks. In response to Auditor recommendations, we are reviewing and will update our written procedures for tracking, reviewing, approving and retaining documentation of federal expenses consistent with Federal Financial Reports submitted to the Agency.

As a small organization, with limited staffing, it was noted that the numbers were transposed when entered and the hourly rates were taken from the Payroll Report versus the paystub. Going forward with the CFO in place, all wages will be reported on-a-monthly basis utilized by the paystubs noting the wage rate changed. Noting that each grant has its own reporting requirements, the organization will provide a three-step verification that will include providing the CPA with the final verification of the monthly reports. The CFO will prepare the reimbursement month, the CEO will verify and send to the CPA who will approve for submission to ensure accuracy of the reports. This additional verification will provide for an outside the organization review prior to submitting. An additional note is that the variances were not paid beyond what the grant allowed. The IL Alliance that manages the grant for the local organization has created a new tool to assist in the accuracy of the submissions which have been provided since January 1st which will eliminate most reimbursement discrepancies. For example, if the supplies budget line-item was $500.00 and the organization submitted $525.00 in receipts the tool being utilized will be highlighted in red and will not be reimbursed at $525.00, only the $500.00 allowed and this is through all the grants. No overage of dollars was received other than what the grant allowed even though the submission might have been less or more.If it was less, the IL Alliance reaches out to the organization for additional receipts. The Boys & Girls Club of Livingston County will ensure the numbers are more accurate in the reporting moving forward.

The financial policies and procedures will be modified with the policy to include review of the submissions by the CEO and the CPA prior to submission of the grant reimbursement request, this will increase the ability to segregate the duties and provide more accurate reporting. Overall, with 2023 still coping with lack of employment pool coming off COVID, securing the CFO was and is crucial to prevent future findings in the Internal Control over the programs.

Recommendation: We recommend that the Organization implement procedures to document and maintain the documentation to support the controls over compliance are not only properly designed but are working. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: Waldorf reports enrollment data to NSLDS through National Clearinghouse (CH). Waldorf University just recently signed a contract with Jenzabar to adopt their platforms of JRM (Jenzabar Recruiting Management), J! (Jenzabar’s SIS system) and JFA (Jenzabar Financial Aid). This aid in all functions of the university from recruiting, enrollment, awarding, disbursing, academics, grading, and most all aspects of the university. We will no longer be tied to a homegrown system from our prior owners that was originally created for only a single university. We will have IT’s full support for their web-based software directly from the creators of the system. We believe having all the functions under one software platforms will greatly improve operations enabling the university to meet and exceed all guidelines. We are slated to begin with the JRM and JFA modules io late summer or early fall of 2025, with the full university on J1 by summer 2026. We are very excited to be able to finally resolve this finding.

Identifying Number: 2023-004 Finding: The single audit package was not submitted to the Federal Clearinghouse within the time required. The Single Audit package for the Authority’s year ended December 31, 2023, should have been submitted to the Federal Clearinghouse by September 30, 2024. The delay was caused by the Cyber Incident in January 2024 which delayed the release of year end reporting to the external auditor to May 2024. Staffing shortages at the Authority contributed to the late filing. A further delay was the result of the availability of the audit staff. Corrective Actions Taken or Planned: On February 7,2024, the Authority completed all industry standard, minimum cybersecurity remediation and compliance requirements following the incident, as set forth by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Cyber Security Framework and Dell Technologies. All hyper-converged infrastructure, network firewall, and networked components have been examined through a rigorous network remediation and data validation process, in order to significantly reduce the risk of further malicious exposure of its data and equipment to any/all entities separate from the organization. The Kansas City Area Transportation Authority has moreover, taken measures to secure and improve the overall security posture during the remediation period for all workstations, servers, and networked infrastructure, with the addition of continuous monitoring and next generation antivirus systems with endpoint detection response capabilities, firewalled intrusion detection and prevention measures, as well as the development and implementation of continuous identity access management and data loss prevention features and processes. In April 2024, the American Public Transit Association (APTA) performed a financial peer review on the Authority. Among the recommendations as best practice by the peer group was the replacement of the long-standing audit firm with a new firm. The Request for Purchase (RFP) was conducted, and a new audit firm has been selected. Approval of the new Audit firm contract is scheduled for approval by the Board of Commissions on October 22, 2024. KCATA will work with the new audit firm to develop a schedule to publish financial statements by April or May of each year which was the historical schedule in place.
