Action: The District Office will work directly with the Federal Programs Coordinator to ensure more timely submissions of Reconciliation of Cash on Hand Quarterly Reports and Final Expenditure Reports are prepared accurately and submitted timely in accordance with grant requirements. The Business Manager will do this by creating reminders on the Business Manager’s calendar that include due dates each quarter and reminding the Federal Programs Coordinator when their respective reports are due. The District will implement and form a review and monitoring process and provide any necessary training to staff responsible for grant reporting to ensure ongoing compliance.

Response to finding 2023-005 – Reporting Views of Responsible Officials: CSforALL management agrees with the conditions identified by SAX Advisory Group, including the noted causes and resulting effects under 2023-005. During the audit period, recordkeeping was not centrally maintained, and key documents were often stored under individual employee drives rather than within a shared, organization-controlled system. Due to the organizational pause at the end of 2024 and the transition period throughout 2025, the Organization had limited capacity to implement formal reporting controls; however, foundational corrective steps were initiated in 2025 to support full compliance during the 2026 operating year. Corrective Action taken in 2025: The Operations Manager conducted a full triage of existing accounts and transferred organizational documents into centralized CSforALL Drives. Files were reorganized by year and subject matter to ensure accessibility, consistency, and proper retention. This restructured system now provides a unified location for all grant-related documents, reporting records, and compliance materials, establishing a baseline for future Uniform Guidance reporting requirements. Corrective Action Planned for 2026: Beginning in 2026, CSforALL will implement formalized policies and procedures to ensure records are maintained in accordance with applicable compliance requirements and that all Uniform Guidance reports are submitted timely. The Operations Manager and Accounting team will oversee ongoing documentation, retention, and periodic internal review to ensure the reporting structure remains organized, accessible, and compliant throughout the 2026 operating year and beyond.

Finding 2023-001 Name of Contact Person: Debra Hansen, Accounting Manager – Grants and Gifts Corrective Action Plan: In December 2022, changes were made to the MCHS lab ordering process and a new report was created to track employee COVID test results. This report reflected two rows of information for each individual employee tested. One for the test order and a second for the test result. Each row was counted and costed as two separate employee tests and therefore a portion of the cost for employee COVID tests was accidentally doubled and overstated in the portal for Period 5. However, although these expenses were overstated by $49,000, the grant was not overcharged as these questioned costs would be fully replaceable by an allowable amount of unused eligible lost revenues of approximately $109,516,000. Management will implement a procedure that requires a second level review of expenditures reported to ensure accuracy of reimbursement claimed for federal- and state-funded expenditures.Completion Date: September 30, 2024

Criteria: The tracking and matching of grant revenues and expenditures and the related grant receivable and unearned revenue amounts is necessary to assist in making management decisions and for the proper reporting and use of those funds in accordance with each of the individual grant requirements. In addition, this information is essential in preparing the County's Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA}. Condition/Context: The County's system of tracking its grants and matching revenues with expenditures lacks the necessary level of sophistication, given the number and complexities of the County's grant activities, which hampers the County's ability to maintain an accurate general ledger and prepare a complete and accurate SEFA. The current year SEFA also required the restatement of beginning accrued revenue balances. Effect: Grants receivable and unearned revenue amounts are not readily ascertainable to assist in making management decisions or for use in the timely preparation of the County's SEFA. The County did not prepare a complete and accurate SEFA in a timely manner to comply with its financial reporting requirements. Cause: The County has not prioritized a formal system for tracking its grant activities. Recommendation: We recommend that the County develop and implement a formal system for tracking its grant related activities and in doing so require that all departments with responsibility for federal award programs provide periodic reconciliations of their grant reports to the general ledger to a responsible management official. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions: Management agrees with the restatement of the beginning accrued revenue balances on the SEFA and is working to realign staff responsibilities to provide a dedicated business office staff member to oversee, track, report and manage all of the County's grant awards.

Criteria: Pursuant to the provisions of the Uniform Guidance, under Section 200.512(a), the County is required to complete and submit its Single Audit and related Data Collection Form within nine months of the end of its fiscal period (September 30) of the following year. Condition/Context The County's Single Audit and reporting package was delayed for the year ended December 31, 2022 beyond the nine-month due date. Effect: The County is not in compliance with certain requirements of the Uniform Guidance, including the Single Audit reporting requirements. Questioned Costs: None. Cause: Reconciliations and reports were not completed on a timely basis, and therefore, the completion and filing of its December 31, 2022 Single Audit and reporting package was not prioritized. Recommendation: We recommend that County management review its staffing and personnel responsibilities to prioritize the completion of its audit responsibilities within the prescribed timeframes. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions: The County plans to have information ready for the auditors to get 2024 done in a reasonable time frame. This finding will likely carry to 2024 but between staffing and priorities, the County hopes to have cleared by the 2025 audit. Designated Member responsible for Corrective Action Plan: Kayla E.

The Chief Financial Officer (CFO) is responsible for this task. The overview includes reviewing and submitting the information and data collected during the month. To ensure timely compliance, the CFO has implemented a shared calendar system with the administrative personnel that establishes clear deadlines and reminders to prevent delays and improve efficiency, ensuring all submissions are received within the required timeframe.

2023-002 PROGRAM INCOME - MATERIAL WEAKNESS Federal Program Community Development Block Grant/Entitlement Grant ALN 14.218; passed through the County of Berks and HOME Investment Partnership Program ALN 14.239; passed through the County of Berks. Condition/Cause During our testing of program income received during 2023, it was noted that the Authority did not report all program income received into IDIS. As a result of not entering all program income into IDIS, our testing indicated that new entitlement funds were drawn down prior to utilizing all available program income on hand. The Authority utilizes a separate general ledger account in the financial reporting software to record all program income received for each federal grant program. The Fiscal Officer enters the program income into IDIS. No internal control existed to ensure the completeness or accuracy of the program income information entered into IDIS. Recommendation We recommend the Authority develop and implement an internal control procedure to ensure that all program income is entered timely within the IDIS system. Prior to drawing down new entitlement funding, the program income general ledger account associated with the grant program should be reviewed and compared to the program income reported within IDIS to ensure all program income is recorded and fully utilized before drawing down additional entitlement funding. Management Response The Authority implemented a new policy to track and document program income: a. Upon receipt of program income, it shall be entered individually into IDIS and assigned to an activity or activities within fifteen (15) calendar days of receipt. b. At the next request for funds for an activity which includes funding from program income, program income shall be used prior to requesting federal funds for the activity. c. The request for federal funds shall be prepared by the Fiscal Officer and reviewed by one of the Assistant Fiscal Officers to determine if program income is being used prior to the request of federal funds. d. If it has been determined and documented that program income is being used prior to the request for federal funds, the request shall be forwarded to the Executive Director for approval.

2023-001 REPORTING - SIGNIFICANT DEFICIENCY Federal Program Community Development Block Grant/Entitlement Grant ALN 14.218; passed through the County of Berks Emergency Rental Assistance ALN 21.023; passed through the County of Berks Condition/Cause The auditee did not have any documented or implemented internal controls over the review of federal program reporting requirements. Reports were prepared and submitted without documentation of supervisory review or verification of accuracy and completeness. Management did not design or implement procedures to review reports prior to submission, relying solely on the preparer's knowledge without formal oversight. Recommendation We recommend that all grant reports are reviewed by a person independent of the preparer who has knowledge of the grant requirements. This review should include comparing the amounts reported to detailed support for accuracy. We also recommend the Authority review its recordkeeping procedures for documentation related to grant reporting. There should be a process in place to ensure all required documentation is maintained and filed in an orderly system that allows the Authority to locate and provide documentation when required. Management Response In general, management agrees with the finding. It should be noted that internal controls for supervisory review of reporting requirements were in place but were not written controls or processes. Reporting for the CDBG Program is accomplished through the preparation of the annual Comprehensive Annual Performance and Evaluation Repo11 CAPER). Written policies and procedures for the CAPER have been developed. Reporting for the Emergency Rental Assistance Program is accomplished through an online reporting system of the U.S. Treasury and by email to the Pennsylvania Human Services Department. Written policies and procedures have been developed.
