Management will also formalize procedures for payroll reallocations across programs to ensure traceability and compliance with grant requirements. Documentation will be required to be attached to all journal transactions demonstrating the linkage between the underlying payroll records to the correct grant programs.

Refugee and Entrant Assistance State Administered Programs – Assistance Listing No. 93.566 Recommendation: We recommend that the Department review and enhance its reporting procedures and internal controls to ensure that expenditures reported on the SEFA are accurate Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: The Department has made changes in the Office of Budget and Finance Leadership team and continues to do so at every level. The Department will review and enhance its reporting procedures and internal controls to ensure that expenditures reported on the SEFA are accurate. Currently, expenditures are recorded in the State’s Financial Management Information System (FMIS) with program cost accounting codes used to identify the funding source(s) for each activity. The system-generated report summarizes the information and includes the effective date of the activity. In turn, this same report is used to run the cost allocation to charge the exact costs to the funding source properly. Currently, information is manually inputted into multiple spreadsheets to prepare the federal reports and SEFA resulting in the possibility for errors. This significantly impedes the accuracy of the data being reported to federal grants and the provision of supporting documentation. As such, the Department will partner with external consultants to develop a better and more seamless recording structure for grant expenditures to the general ledger. This structure will require quarterly review by the Deputy Cost Allocation Revenue Management Director (CARM), the Cost Allocation Revenue Management Director, and the Deputy Chief Financial Officer. The Department will create a database and document repository to track the submission and reconciliation for federal grant reporting. The document repository will include the FMIS generated report and the cost allocation results table. Upon submission to the federal grant systems, the Deputy Director and or the Director of CARM will perform a thorough review of the material. These persons will insert their signature confirming the accuracy of the information reported to the General Accounting Division (GAD). Name(s) of the contact person(s) responsible for corrective action: Latanya Scott-Ward, Acting Director of Cost Allocation and Revenue Management, and Jessica Smith, Acting Chief Financial Officer. Planned completion date for corrective action plan: December 2025

Due to limited staff size, we do not have adequate segregation of duties in the aeras of financial accounting and reporting as recommended for organizations. We have outsourced a 3rd party bookkeeping firm who provides payroll and payroll tax services and oversight of other various accounting matters as needed. The accounting staff that we do have (one person), is working to minimize the increased work at year-end by improving internal accounting systems with more efficiency and greater consistency. We believe this will help.

This is essential for proper identification of federal programs and determination of major programs. Condition: The SEFA for fiscal year ended June 30, 2024 was provided after asking for the SEFA repeatedly. When finally received, the SEFA contained incorrect Assistance Listing numbers for multiple programs/awards, which could lead to misclassification of federal awards. Context: The SEFA reported $1,381,646 in federal expenditures across 27 programs/grant agreements. Testing revealed that 23 of the 27 grant awards had incorrect Assistance Listing numbers on the SEFA and were not aligned with agreements or program information. The SEFA was finalized, only after significant auditor follow-up. Cause: Management did not have adequate procedures for compiling and reviewing SEFA information, including verification of Assistance Listing numbers against official sources and award documents. Effect or Potential Effect: Incorrect CFDA / Assistance Listing numbers may:  Impair auditor’s ability to properly identify major programs,  Result in noncompliance with Uniform Guidance reporting requirements,  Increase risk of audit findings and questioned costs in future periods. Questioned Cost: None identified Repeat of a Prior-Year Finding: No, Prior- year did not require a Single Audit. Recommendation: We recommend that Partnership for the Umpqua Rivers:  Establish a formal SEFA preparation process, including a checklist for verifying Assistance Listing numbers against award documents and official listings, Assign responsibility for timely SEFA submission, and require supervisory review before providing to auditors.  Maintain documentation supporting CFDA/ Assistance Listing numbers and program details in a centralized grant file. District Response: Partnership for the Umpqua Rivers acknowledges the deficiencies.
