The Organization accepts the recommendation of the auditor. In the future, the Organization will implement an additional internal control regarding the verification of eligibility for Educational Opportunity Centers' participants. Specifically, in cases where the staff member who signed the "Verification of Eligibility and Acceptance" form does not check off the citizenship status or need areas on the form, the data entry specialist will return the participant folder to that staff member to obtain the required eligibility information before including the participant in the database. In the event that the eligibility information is unobtainable, the participant will not be input into the database nor counted as a participant. In addition, more periodic testing of files will be undertaken to identify any participants who do not have the necessary eligibility information, with corrective action taken as needed.

ACL Centers for Independent Living – Assistance Listing No. 93.435 Type of Finding: Allowable Activities and Allowable Costs – General Disbursements • Significant Deficiency in Internal Control over Compliance Criteria or specific requirement: Per 2 CFR 200.303, non-Federal entities must establish and maintain effective internal control over the Federal award that provides reasonable assurance that the non-Federal entity is managing the Federal award in compliance with Federal statues regulations, and the terms and conditions of the Federal award. Condition: Documentation not maintained to support one cash disbursement. Questioned costs: None Context: 1/40 of the general disbursements tested lacked indication of approval. Deemed to be an isolated incident as the vendor in question provides physical receipts to DEC, which is an unusual and infrequent method. Limited transactions with said vendor. Cause: Vendor purchases are in-person and physical receipt is obtained. This is unusual for common vendors used and leads to more opportunity for documentation loss. Effect: Reimbursement requests could be made for unallowed expenditures. Repeat Finding: No Recommendation: Review document retention process to ensure all costs that are charged to a federal program are adequately reviewed and documentation of that process is maintained. If documentation is not available, costs should not be charged to the Federal program. Views of responsible officials: There is no disagreement with the audit finding.
