Findings and Questioned Costs Related to Federal Awards Finding Number: 2022-001 Program Name/Assistance Listing Title: Impact Aid Assistance Listing Number: 84.041 Contact Person: Priscine Jones, Business Manager Anticipated Completion Date: October 27, 2022 Planned Corrective Action: The Business Manager corrected the information on the scope of work and asked the vendor to submit payroll certifications on October 27, 2022 before the vendor was paid the full amount. In addition, the Business Office revised their Business Operations Policies and Procedures Manual to include in the scope of work for any current and future projects that payroll certification be turned into the Business Office. Our current vendor was notified and we develop a process where time certification will be emailed in a link weekly to the Administrative Assistant and reviewed by the Business Manager weekly. Chinle Unified School District issued a PO in the amount of $30,000 for demolition of old federal building. The PO was issued on September 17, 2021 and paid in full on November 4, 2021. The District did not pay until the payroll certifications were turned into the Business Office which was on October 27, 2022. The original specifications did not mention following the Davis-Bacon Prevailing Wages which was an oversight on the District. In addition to the Davis Bacon requirements, the Business Manager did not know that 29 CFR sections 5.5 and 5.6; the A-102 Common Rule (section 36(i)(5)); OMB Circular A-110 (2 CFR part 215, Appendix A, Contract Provisions); 2 CFR part 176, subpart C; and 2 CFR section 200.326 asked for weekly payroll certification on any construction projects funded through federal funding.

Finding Ref. No. 2022-004 Finding The Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act (Pub. L. No. 109-282), as amended by Section 6202 of Pub. L. No. 110-252, hereafter referred as the "Transparency Act" that are codified in 2 CFR Part 170, requires recipients (i.e., direct recipients) of grants or cooperative agreements are required to report first-tier subawards of $30,000 or more to the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act Subaward Reporting System (FSRS). The Uniform Guidance, 2 CFR Part 200, Appendix XI Compliance Supplement, May 2022, requires the Alabama Emergency Management Agency to report applicable first-tier subawards and contracts information as required in the "Transparency Act". The Alabama Emergency Management Agency (EMA) failed to provide the requested subaward letters and FSRS reports containing key data elements for the sample population of fourteen (14) first-tier subawards. The Alabama Emergency Management Agency did not have procedures in place to ensure that applicable first-tier subaward information was reported to the FSRS, resulting in a failure to provide a full disclosure to the public of all entities or organizations receiving federal funds during fiscal year 2022. Recommendation The Alabama Emergency Management Agency (EMA) should develop, maintain, and implement effective procedures to ensure compliance with the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act (FFATA). Response/Views: We agree with the finding. Corrective Action Planned: The AEMA Recovery Division has hired additional staff that is assigned the task of completing and submitting FFATA reporting for future grants and for the funding listed in the recent FEMA monitoring report. The newly hired employees are new to the emergency management profession and are completing the required new-hire training. Once their training is complete, they will start training on FFATA and begin working to correct the finding. Reason for the Recurrence: Due to limited staffing and the obligation of funding changing on the nineteen open federally declared disasters that contain several hundred applicants per disaster, the agency could not maintain the FFATA requirement. The Alabama Emergency Management Agency did not have procedures in place to ensure that applicable first-tier sub-award information was reported to the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act Subaward Reporting System (FSRS), failing to provide full disclosure to the public of all entities or organizations receiving federal funds during the fiscal year 2022. Our agency has amended procedures to ensure compliance and that applicable first-tier sub-award information is reported to the FSRS. Anticipated Completion Date: The goal is that significant progress can and will be made by the end of November.

Significant Deficiency and Noncompliance Condition and Context: The change in status for one of 25 students tested was not reported to the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS) within 30 days or included in a roster file within 60 days. Responsible for the Plan: Janet Davidson, Director of Financial Aid Planned completion date: June 30, 2023 Corrective Action Plan: The Institution Research & Data Analyst currently has a process to ensure that status changes for enrolled and withdrawn students are completed in a timely manner. For students who graduated the process is slightly different. The graduation status change is currently populated through the degree transmission files. In some instances the process does not automatically update the student enrollment record and the college must complete an additional step to ensure the graduation date is reflected not only on the degree tab but also on the enrollment information. To ensure that this is completed in a timely manner we will implement the following procedures. ? The Student Records office will review all applications for graduation within two weeks of final grades being submitted. ? The Degree Verify file will be submitted no later than 25 days after the end of the term/the degree conferred date. ? Once the degree file has been submitted the Student Records office will follow up with the National Student Clearinghouse to review the G Not Applied report and updated individual student records where the degree file did not update the enrollment record to reflect the graduation date.

CFDA No. 84.033 Recommendation: We recommend the University reevaluate its procedures and review policies surrounding reporting status changes and other enrollment information to NSLDS to ensure timely and accurate reporting. Views of responsible officials: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: This finding is linked to the reporting errors that many schools seem to be experiencing with their clearinghouse program length reporting. While our program length for a bachelor?s degree is 60 months, the average completion time nationally is 5 years. In order to eliminate errors with aid eligibility, the Registrar set up an automated process that assigns the Anticipated Graduation Date for 5 years from the initial term of entry. NCU has followed this same process for the past 20 years, and it has never raised any concerns. This is a simple time-saving process that eliminates the need to update the Anticipated Graduation date manually for each student who does not graduate within 4 years prior to running the monthly enrollment reports for NSC. As a member of many national organizations, we continue to monitor this reporting challenge as a university to try to reconcile how to report program length for aid eligibility and program length for clearinghouse compliance. In addition, a quality check process is being developed to ensure graduation dates or enrollment timelines are reported accurately to NSLDS. This work is being completed in tandem with our Registrar?s Office who reports to NSLDS through the National Clearinghouse.

FINDING 2022-002 Program: COVID-19: Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds CFDA No.: 21.027 Federal Grantor: United States Department of the Treasury Passed-through: N/A Compliance Requirements: Reporting Auditor Recommendation: We recommend the City enhance internal controls to ensure Interim and Project and Expenditure Reports are prepared in accordance with program requirements. Views of Responsible Officials and Corrective Action: We concur with the recommendation and will enhance internal controls to ensure that the Interim and Project and Expenditure Reports are prepared in accordance with program requirements. During this reporting period, there was no clear direction from the State on how to submit prior period corrections, so to achieve this action, City staff submitted a zero ?current expenditure? and then included the prior period adjustment in the cumulative total. Since the audit found that this was the wrong process and a deficiency in reporting, the City will reach out to the State for assistance in reporting prior period corrections. The City will ensure a thorough review prior to submitting to ensure the report is accurate. The City also encountered reporting difficulties for the quarter ending 6/30/2022 with entering vendor information. City staff contacted the State to request assistance, however the State was overwhelmed with requests from agencies state-wide and was not able to respond to the City?s request in a timely manner. The State was aware of the issues and had allowed Cities to submit their report late. The City has not had any issue subsequent to the 6/30/2022 report and has been submitting its report timely.

Indirect costs should be billed at the lower of the negotiated rates or the actual charges. Action Taken ZERO TO THREE has recently undergone major technological upgrades involving multiple accounting systems. We received the NICRA letter with our new indirect cost rate eight months into the 2022 fiscal year. The late receipt of this letter, combined with challenges of our then antiquated accounting software, made it very difficult to retroactively apply the NICRA rate changes with consistent accuracy. Our new, robust accounting system, implemented October 1, 2022, is designed to easily handle these types of accounting changes going forward.

Eligibility, Nonmaterial Noncompliance, Significant Deficiency Per Title 24 of the Code of Federal Regulations parts 880 through 883, only eligible individuals should participate and the program and there should be evidence of eligibility determinations. The Authority has established a move-in and re-examination checklist to be used during the eligibility determination process to ensure that all required documents are maintained in the tenant?s file. Of the forty (40) tenants selected for testing, we noted the following: Seventeen (17) tenants were missing the re-examination checklist. Three (3) tenants were missing documentation that they were selected from the waiting list. Two (2) tenants were missing documentation of inspections and tenant certifications. The Authority has had a significant amount of turnover in their staffing who complete eligibility determinations, and the staff who were completing the eligibility determinations did not properly include the completed checklists in the file to evidence their review that all required documents were included in the file. The Authority did not have documentation of compliance with the eligibility requirement for one (1) tenant for the year ended June 30, 2022. Response: Within the next thirty days the Housing Program Compliance Analyst will complete a random audit at each complex of new admissions to confirm all HUD required forms have been completed, and will review random files to confirm the re-examination checklists have been completed. A report will be provided to the Director of Housing once the analyst has completed the review. Target Date: April 2023 Responsible Party: Director of Housing

Eligibility, Nonmaterial Noncompliance, Significant Deficiency Per Title 24 of the Code of Federal Regulations parts 5, 902, 960, 966, and 990, only eligible individuals should participate and the program and there should be evidence of eligibility determinations. The Authority has established an application and re-examination checklist to be used during the eligibility determination process to ensure that all required documents are maintained in the tenant?s file. Of the forty (40) tenants selected for testing, we noted the following: One (1) tenant where the Authority was unable to locate the tenant file to document their eligibility to participate in the program. Twelve (12) tenants were missing the re-examination checklist. Five (5) tenants were missing documentation that their income was accurately calculated and verified. For the one tenant whose file was unable to be located moved out of the program during fiscal year 2022, the Authority believes the file was moved to storage but was unable to locate it. For the missing checklists and other documentation, the Authority has had a significant amount of turnover in their staffing who complete eligibility determinations, and the staff who were completing the eligibility determinations did not properly include the completed checklists and other supporting documentation of eligibility in the file to evidence their review that all required documents were included in the file. Response: The Authority will have the Housing Program Compliance Analyst audit a sample of tenant files based on the latest re-examinations to ensure that the calculated income agrees with the supporting documentation, the checklist is completed in its entirety and is maintained in the tenant files. Target Date: April 2023 Responsible Party: Director of Housing
