10.558 Child and Adult Care Food Program Allowable Cost 2022-027 Strengthen Controls to Ensure Compliance with Allowable Costs Requirements of the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP). Response: The MDE does not concur with this finding. The OSA did not identify weaknesses in the MDE subrecipient monitoring process, such as in the selection of organizations, the monitoring cycle, or monitoring procedures. Instead, OSA identified potential errors made by individual participating organizations. The MDE has a robust system of internal controls and subrecipient monitoring system for the CACFP. In addition to meeting USDA requirements for monitoring, the MDE Office of Child Nutrition (OCN) also employs a risk -based process to select CACFP subrecipients for review and to determine the scope of monitoring. The MDE routinely exceeds the USDA requirement to monitor 33.3% of participating organizations annually. For Program Year (PY) 2021-2022, 60.3% of participating organizations were reviewed to provide additional oversight of subrecipients. When the MDE identifies instances of noncompliance, it requires participating organizations to take appropriate corrective action. For organizations that are very high-risk, the MDE employs the USDA Serious Deficiency process in accordance with 7 C.F.R. 226.6. The MDE already has a process to recover funds from an organization if an error is discovered during subrecipient monitoring. In PY 2022, the MDE assessed $132,207 in repayments of USDA funds and required an additional $40,577 in unallowable costs to be returned to local CACFP accounts. Finally, MDE staff was not included in the reviews of subrecipients by OSA, so the MDE was unable to verify the accuracy of the proposed unallowable costs before publication of the report from OSA. MDE staff will need to review documentation from OSA, and source documentation retained at CACFP sites before it can make a final determination regarding the potential unallowable cost determinations against sponsors. Corrective Action Plan: A. The MDE will review documentation provided by OSA of potential questioned costs and review source documentation held by the subrecipients to determine the amount of unallowable costs. If confirmed, the MDE will recover any unallowable costs in accordance with USDA policies. This review will be completed by January 22, 2024. Susie Evans, CACFP Director for the MDE OCN, will oversee the review. B. The MDE will continue to assess its CACFP monitoring and continue to strengthen the process while remaining in compliance with USDA regulations.

2022-02: Significant Deficiency ? Program income compliance and controls Federal Agency: Department of Health and Human Services Program: Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic Demonstration Grant Assistance Listing Number: 93.829 Management agrees that during the year ended December 31, 2022, Flushing did not have a formal control in place to identify, monitor and report program income collected from providing mental health counseling services to patients under the grant. Management has contacted The Department of Health and Human Services to inform them of this finding. Medisys Health Network, which includes Jamaica Hospital and Flushing, is the recipient of various federal grants, including another grant with program income requirements which was identified as a result of management?s review of the awards and for which controls have been designed and implemented to ensure compliance with the requirement. We believe our oversight of this compliance requirement was an isolated situation because the NoA only included one brief sentence regarding program income. Flushing will implement the following process to formalize controls related to the program income compliance requirement for the grant. 1) Management will review monthly charge/income reports for each clinician hired under the grant to keep track of the program income related to the grant. Management has started reviewing the program revenue and will set up quarterly reviews with the program director. 2) Management will keep track of all program income related to the grant and compare the income to the current expenses, and retain documentation supporting how the program income was used to further eligible project objectives prior to requesting reimbursement from the agency under the grant. 3) These controls and procedures will be implemented by the end of the 3rd quarter of 2023.

The District did not obtain Payroll Certification Forms from the employees funded through these federal funds and thus, they did not comply with their written procedures regarding obtaining signed Payroll Certification Forms from employees whose salaries were funded through federal funds. We recommended the District comply with their written policies and procedures to be in compliance with the Uniform Guidance. STATUS: Not Implemented DISTRICT?S RESPONSE East Ramapo Central School District Office of Funded Programs (OFP) has reviewed and revised their standards for the documentation of Personnel Expenses to ensure payroll certification forms are prepared in a timely and accurate manner. These procedures adhere to the Uniform Guidance Section 200.430. The OFP Accountant, Renee Vaughan, will establish an internal database to record all employees whose salaries are fully or partially supported with Federal funds. Initial records will be based on Budget estimates derived during the FS-10 process. Upon Approval of a Federal Grant, the OFP Accountant will generate from the internal database, (1) a report with a list of employees whose salaries are fully or partially supported with Federal funds and (2) Personnel Activity Report (PAR) forms for each employee. The OFP Accountant will also produce an informational sheet to accompany the PAR forms. This informational sheet will include a statement about the purpose of the PAR, monthly return-by dates, procedures for changes, etc. The same action will be taken when an employee starts or changes position within the Grant period. The OFP Assistant, Donna Tanner, will distribute these materials to the appropriate employees at the beginning of the grant year. When responses are received, the OFP Assistant will review the form for completion. Completed forms will be marked as such on the report list and returned to the OFP Accountant. Incomplete forms will be returned to the employee for completion. The OFP Assistant will continually follow-up with employees regarding forms not returned by the return-by dates established in the information sheet. Non-responsive PAR requests will be brought to the attention of the Superintendent and the Office of Personnel. The OFP will keep physical and or digital record of each signed PAR. The OFP Accountant will track the completion of forms in the internal database, as well as record any changes in the internal database. Any changes to allocations will prompt the creation and distribution of a new PAR form. At the end of each quarter, OFP Accountant will provide a detailed PAR report to the OFP Executive Director, Dr. Daniel Shanahan. This procedure was initiated in November 2022 and continues to be in effect presently.

Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding.

As a result, we reported those checks to the auditors when asked for outstanding Title IV checks. We have taken the following actions in response to this item: ? We have developed a ?Time Out / Reversal? workgroup that includes members of both the financial aid and fiscal services department to ensure that reissuance of checks does not occur automatically (pre-existing, but this workgroup allows us to address this issue). ? We have trained the workgroup members specifically on the importance of the 240 day limit. Implemented by September 2022. ?

The Grants Manager has been notified of this breakdown in internal control and the inaccuracy of the reports to the U.S. Department of the Treasury due to the timing of running the Munis report of expenditures. Going forward, the Grants Manager will ensure the Munis actuals reflect all transactions for the period and will ensure that all payrolls, fringe benefits and account payable runs have occurred prior to drafting the financial report for review and signature by Finance. Finance will independently run the Munis report of actual expenditures to confirm and validate the draft report to the U.S. Department of the Treasury and will serve as the final approver and signatory prior to submission. Name of the contact persons responsible for corrective action: Melissa McCaw, Director of Finance, and Kim Cummings, Assistant Director of Finance. Planned completion date for corrective action plan: February 1, 2023
