Finding Summary: Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance) provides that amounts charged to Federal programs must be for allowable costs. To be allowable under Federal awards, costs must be adequately documented and supported. Community Chest, Inc. does have an internal control system to properly differentiate between federal and nonfederal expenditures, however certain immaterial amounts were not properly classified within the system in accordance with their internal control system. Responsible Individuals: Erik Schoen, CEO; Amber Stanley, Business Manager Corrective Action Plan: We are in agreement with this finding. As part of our CAP, we have replaced our former business manager with a new employee, who is receives regular support and guidance from an independent accounting professional with decades of experience. Together, they are forming a point-by-point strategic approach so that this finding is corrected in the current FY. We believe that being more timely in everyday processes, month end closes and reconciliations will help prevent changes after the fact in regards to monthly billings provided to our grantors. As of 10/1/22, we have already doubled our pace of account reconciliation. We will continue to improve with the accuracy of billings and grant end closes internally.

Finding 2022-001: Failure to submit the required Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act (FFATA) report by the end of the month following an award to a subrecipient results in noncompliance with 2CFR Part 170. Failure to submit annual SF-429 report results in noncompliance with requirements. Corrective Actions Taken or Planned: Management concurs with this finding.

As a recent Office of Head Start grantee, we were unaware of this reporting requirement. We have amended our internal controls to add the FFATA report and the SF-429 report on December 31 each year in our newly created Finance Department Compliance Calendar. Further, we have pursued additional trainings and resources for new Head Start grantees to ensure compliance with reporting requirements. In addition, a system of oversight and monitoring of the Compliance Calendar will be established to provide an additional layer of review for these reports. Implementation is planned for completion by April 30th, 2023. The contact person is Peg Heslinga, Chief Financial Officer.
