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.

Finding 2023-007: Year End Reporting Rural Rental Housing Loan-10.415 Noncompliance/Material Weakness: AGREED RCHA Administration agrees it is responsible for completing and submitting Form RD 3560-7, Form RD 3560-10 and Attachment 4-F, Performance Standards Borrower Self-Certification letter, within 90 days following the close of the project year end.

Corrective Action: RCHA Administration will have forms completed accurately and presented to those required immediately. Corrective Action: RCHA Administration will complete forms and turn into USDA personnel on time and accurately. Policies and procedures will be clear, approved and monitored by Board of Commissioners, and completed by RCHA Administration before June 29th each year.

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.
