The South Carolina Office of Resilience (SCOR) respectfully submits the following corrective action plan for the year ended June 30, 2022. The finding from the schedule of findings and questioned costs is discussed below. The finding is numbered consistently with the number assigned in the schedule. FINDINGS - FEDERAL AWARD PROGRAM AUDIT U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT 2022-010 Community Development Block Grant - Assistance Listing No. 14.228 Recommendation: We recommend that the Office implement procedures to ensure reports are submitted in compliance with FFATA reporting requirements. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: SCOR has already designated an employee (SCOR Reporting Manager) to gain knowledge of FFATA and become the FFATA Reporting point of contact. SCOR is currently unable to report grants in the FFATA Subaward Reporting System (FSRS) because FSRS identifies the 2018 CDBG-DR and CDBG-MIT grants reporting entity under a different state agency. Because the information within FSRS is based off data entries within SAM.GOV, only HUD, as the Federal entity that issued the grant, can make changes within the system. SCOR is working with its assigned representative at HUD to identify and make the appropriate changes in SAM.GOV and FSRS. Once SCOR has control of the two grants in FSRS, SCOR will retroactively report on all subrecipient subawards in the CDBG-MIT program. In the future, SCOR will also report in FSRS any other subrecipient awards for CDBG-DR and CDBG-MIT. Name(s) of the contact person(s) responsible for corrective action: Ran Reinhard, Director of Operations Planned completion date for corrective action plan: June 30, 2023

FINDINGS - FEDERAL AWARD PROGRAM AUDIT U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT 2022-009 Community Development Block Grant - Assistance Listing No. 14.228 Recommendation: We recommend that the Office ensure staff preparing and entering transactions into the accounting system have a good working knowledge of account codes as defined by the South Carolina Comptroller General's Office (CG). In addition, supervisory personnel should closely review transactions to ensure proper classification in the general ledger. Further, the Office should seek guidance from the CG if questions regarding coding of transactions arises. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: SCOR has developed and implemented the use of a Purchase Order Cover Sheet (POCS) (See example #1) to better identify subrecipient projects/vendors requiring the correct use 517 General Ledger Categories. The POCS is a check list of all required information needed to create a shopping cart / purchase order. A recent POCS form update added a field that requires the requester to identify the Project Management team, either State or Subrecipient. This selection will determine the General Ledger Category used by Finance. Since this issue was identified, SCOR Finance has completed a review of FY23 general ledger coding and will post corrective journal entries prior to year end to ensure compliance in future audits.

To ensure correct and comprehensive reporting of students as ?graduated?, the Alamo Colleges District Center for Student Information (CSI) has implemented a three step process: 1) submitting a sixth submission audit per semester (recommended by NSC) which will provide graduated student information to NSC; 2) review of the DegreeVerify exceptions report each semester to identify any needed corrections and/or updates to report to NSC; and 3) completion and review of these processes will be done by a CSI Enrollment Service Professional and CSI Director and documented (signed off) on the monthly compliance certificate form. With these processes in place, CSI will be in line with NSC recommendations and allow the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS) to align with correct graduation dates. At this time, all needed corrections to student ?graduated? status have been completed. Implementation Date: November 2022 Responsible Persons: Dr. Adelina S.

Finding 2022-002 - U.S Department of Housing and Urban Development - Housing Voucher Cluster - Program Documentation (Material Weakness) Recommendation: The Authority should: ? Strengthen the training available to staff that are responsible for determining and documenting compliance with each of the compliance requirements. ? Strengthen the review process of tenant files by management so that errors will be identified prior to payments being made to landlords on the tenant's behalf. ? Train additional members of management and staff to perform and back-up the compliance duties related to the Section 8 program. Action Taken: HALC has increased its training requirements for key positions and subscribed to a training subscription to allow staff to have on demand access. HALC is also having Managers responsible for key files and the documentation related to compliance of their programs so they have access to the information. The Housing Programs Manager has implemented a quarterly random sampling of files to ensure oversight of the requirements of documentation and certifications. These quarterly reviews are saved on our server for future reference and utilize spreadsheets for HALC for tracking and compliance purposes and using a random sampling app online. HALC has implemented a contract with Nelrod to obtain Rent Reasonable and Utility Allowances. HALC staff members will be utilizing the EZRRD software program going forward, and (over the next year) will be updating all of the rent reasonable calculations. HALC began using the new program on September 5, 2023, for all new lease ups and contract rent increases. The new rent reasonable calculations began November I, 2023, with the annual recertification packets and will be ongoing monthly. HALC staff begun using the new utility allowance schedule prepared by Nelrod on September I, 2023. Nelrod will update utility allowance schedules as required by HUD regulations annually. If they decide after doing their utility allowance research that a change does not need to take place, (no change is required if the utility companies have not had an increase of under 10%) they will provide us with the information and the methodology used.

Corrective Action Plan Corrective Action Planned: The Center agrees with this finding. The report for the Self- Monitoring Blood Pressure program was behind. The Center was using software to track the progress of our patients. In order to obtain the data required to report the progress, our pharmacist and nurse needed to work with the outside vendor to retrieve the data. This caused a delay because the Center wanted to ensure the accuracy of the data they were reporting. Once the data was retrieved and we were assured of the data, the report was sent to HRSA. The Center now reviews the HRSA electronic Handbook on a weekly basis to assure that all reports that are due that month are responded to in a timely manner. This process will continue moving forward. Name(s) of Contact Person(s) Responsible for Corrective Action: Pharmacist and Deborah Hartranft.

Condition The quarterly financial reports for ERA 1, ERA 2 and SLFRF submitted during FY 2022 did not agree with supporting documentation and were not submitted by the deadlines. Corrective Action The County is aware of these errors, but the portal report submissions were closed at the time of the expenditure revisions that caused the differences in the grant reporting. When the portal opens for the next report, the report differences noted in 2022 will be reconciled and the cumulative expenditures will be corrected to agree to the supporting records. Technical issues were also noted with the portal in prior submissions. A process is in place to ensure all future reports are completed by the filing deadlines.

Finding 2022-001 - U.S. Department of Education (USDE}, Title IV Student Financial Aid Programs (Significant Deficiency): We observed the following conditions in connection with our testing of the various U. S. Department of Education, Title IV, Student Financial Assistance Programs: ? Title IV awards for six (6) of twelve (12) students sampled for Return of Title IV (R2T4) did not have funding returned within the required 45-day time frame with total questioned costs of $18,768. ? The College had differences in the following programs which were not reconciled to the general ledger: Program Description Federal Work-Study Federal Direct Student Loans ? FISAP Work-Study totals did not match general ledger totals. Recommendation - We recommend the College implement corrective actions to ensure the above findings are resolved and do not recur in future periods. Moreover, internal controls over compliance with Federal program regulations should be revisited to ensure adequate supervisory controls, quality assurance reviews of compliance steps, technical training of staff, and adequate procedures are being followed for compliance purposes. Corrective Action - The Office of Financial Aid understands the seriousness of these findings and are implementing appropriate strategies to minimize and/or eliminate further audit findings, including: ? Conduct monthly reconciliations between the Business and Financial Aid Offices reviewed and approved by the Vice President of Finance and Administration. ? Provide specialized Title IV training for the Financial Aid staff through resources and services provided by our auditors, The Wesley Peachtree Group, CPAs to improve and ensure processes align with federal reporting guidelines.

(Significant Deficiency) We observed the following conditions in connection with our testing of the various U. S. Department of Education, Title IV, Student Financial Assistance Programs: 1. Enrollment status reporting to NSLDS for four (4) students tested was not provided as required by Federal regulations. 2. The Center did not provide the Common Origination and Disbursement (COD) funding report for the entire 2021-2022 award year for Federal Direct Loans. As of the report date, the Center had requested it from the U.S. Department of Education. Recommendation ? The Center should implement corrective actions to ensure that the above findings are resolved and do not recur in future periods. Moreover, internal controls over compliance with federal program regulations should be revisited to ensure adequate supervisory controls, quality assurance reviews of compliance steps, technical training of staff, and adequate procedures are being followed for compliance purposes. Corrective Action ? The enrollment information was provided to the FA auditor and several inquiries were made for verification and no timely response was received from the FA auditor. Three versions of the COD reports were provided along with several inquiries for confirmation that the report is what was needed. No timely response was made to our request. Management further explained that it takes 24 hrs. to receive the revised report if what was submitted was not what was needed, again no timely response from the FA auditor.

Finding 2022-007: Significant Deficiency - Reporting Repeat of Prior Year Finding 2021-005 Condition: For the annual report covering January 1, 2021 through December 31, 2021, the University reported the Strengthening Institutions Program funding spent in calendar year 2022 within its 2021 annual report. In addition, for the third quarter 2021 (quarter ending September 30, 2021) and the first quarter 2022 (quarter ending March 31, 2022) institutional portion reports, the University reported the full amount of section (a)(2) Strengthening Institutions Program funding awarded to the University on the section (a)(3) line, when the amount should have been included on the section (a)(2) line. For the third quarter 2021 institutional portion report, the University also reported the lost revenue claimed under the institutional portion of section (a)(1) in the section (a)(2) column, when the amount should have been included in the section (a)(1) column. Also, for the quarterly student portion reports, the University reported the student grants awarded, the number of students eligible to receive a student grant, and the number of students who received a student grant for each individual quarter and not cumulatively from the start of the programs. Corrective Action: The University agrees with the finding. While the University did not provide the public with data in accordance with the above noted columns and cumulative amounts in the top section related to the HEERF Institutional Aid Portion, the amounts listed and what they were expensed for was correct. Based on the information provided to the University by the Department of Education (ED) and attending other webinars regarding reporting requirements, the University believed it had filed the reports correctly. The University's initial report was reviewed and accepted by ED on June 5, 2020. Based on that acceptance, the University thought it was doing the reports correctly. Since the finding was identified during the audit, the University has submitted the revised reports stated above. The University has a committee to monitor reporting requirements of federal awards consisting of key members of the Executive Team, Business Office, IT and the respective project director. On February 4, 2022, the University received notification from ED that the updated reports had been received, reviewed and added to its file.
