Federal Program: Beginning Farmers and Ranchers Development Grant Assistance Listing No.: 10.311 Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Agriculture Pass-Through Entity: None Federal Award Identification Number: 2022-49400-38205 Repeat Finding: This is not a repeat finding Criteria – Management is responsible for preparing a complete and accurate Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards. Condition – During compliance testing, it was determined that the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards provided to us to begin our audit was not complete and accurate. Context – Management was unable to fully reconcile the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards to the general ledger. Cause – The information contained in the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards was not accurate. Effect – As a result of the condition, management was unable to fully reconcile the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards to the general ledger. Recommendation – In the future, management should ensure it implements appropriate processes and controls to ensure the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards contains complete and accurate data. Views of Responsible Officials – Management acknowledges the finding and will implement appropriate processes and controls to ensure the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards contains complete and accurate data. Corrective Actions Taken or Planned – MOFGA created a SEFA to capture grant funds by CFDA number during the compliance audit. Grants are spread out throughout various lines of our chart of accounts, with no quick designation in QuickBooks Online for identifying which ones are private, state or federal funds. This was done manually for each income source (and complimentary expense line), and a few corrections were identified during the audit. We have received guidance from external partners about using Customer/Job functionality or Funder functionality in QBO for tracking of federal grants. This is being evaluated to help with the accuracy and expediting of report creation directly from our accounting software. Responsible Parties – Angela Haiss, Director of Operations Anticipated Completion Date – December 31, 2025
Federal Program: Specialty Crop Block Grant Program – MPSIG IV Assistance Listing No.: 10.170 Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Agriculture Pass-Through Entity: None Federal Award Identification Number: 23SCBPME1171 Repeat Finding: This is not a repeat finding Criteria – Non-federal entities are pr...
Federal Program: Specialty Crop Block Grant Program – MPSIG IV Assistance Listing No.: 10.170 Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Agriculture Pass-Through Entity: None Federal Award Identification Number: 23SCBPME1171 Repeat Finding: This is not a repeat finding Criteria – Non-federal entities are prohibited from contracting with or making subawards under covered transactions to parties that are suspended or debarred. “Covered transactions” include contracts for goods and services awarded under a non-procurement transaction (e.g., grant or cooperative agreement) that are expected to equal or exceed $25,000 or meet certain other criteria as specified in 2 CFR section 180.220. All non-procurement transactions entered into by a pass-through entity (i.e., subawards to subrecipients), irrespective of award amount, are considered covered transactions, unless they are exempt as provided in 2 CFR section 180.215. When a non-federal entity enters into a covered transaction with an entity at a lower tier, the non-federal entity must verify that the entity, as defined in 2 CFR section 180.995 and agency adopting regulations, is not suspended or debarred or otherwise excluded from participating in the transaction. This verification may be accomplished by (1) checking the System for Award Management (SAM) Exclusions maintained by the General Services Administration (GSA) and available at SAM.gov Home (click on Search Record, then click on Advanced Search-Exclusions) (Note: The OMB guidance at 2 CFR Part 180 and agency implementing regulations still refer to the SAM Exclusions as the Excluded Parties List System (EPLS)), (2) collecting a certification from the entity, or (3) adding a clause or condition to the covered transaction with that entity (2 CFR section 180.300). Condition – During 2024, MOFGA did not perform any reviews of subrecipients to ensure they were in good standing before receiving federal funds. Questioned costs – None. Cause – MOFGA did not perform any reviews of subrecipients to ensure they were in good standing before passing through federal funds. Effect or potential effect – There is a risk that the specialty crop block grant funds a suspended or debarred subrecipient which could result in them receiving penalties or having their agreement for the grant terminated. Context – The sample of subrecipients was a statistically valid sample. Recommendation – MOFGA should put in place a policy to review subrecipients standing to ensure that all subrecipients are appropriately receiving grant funds. Corrective Actions Taken or Planned – MOFGA will put into place a process for checking the sam.gov website as part of our eligibility process for subrecipient awardees, and will also add this verification for all employees that are working on grants to ensure anyone receiving grant funds are not suspended or debarred. Responsible Parties – Angela Haiss,. Director of Operations Anticipated Completion Date – December 31, 2025

Management does not concur with the finding. The cases identified were processed in accordance with the policies, guidelines, and procedures established by the Recipient (PRDOH) and were reviewed at each stage of the grant process, including award, disbursement, and closeout. All determinations were made following the internal controls, Program Guidelines, and systems established by the Recipient. The observations noted do not represent noncompliance by the Bank but, in some cases, reflect situations inherent to the grant management systems, which are administered directly by the Recipient and its consultants.

Management concurs with the facts presented by the auditor. However, we do not agree with the conclusion that there is a lack of adequate internal controls in the area of program reports and accounting records. The Bank, as a Subrecipient, performs the closing of the CDBG-DR SBF grants and records each transaction in a system provided by the Recipient and its consultants. The Administrative and Performance Reports referenced by the auditor are automatically generated from the grant management systems provided by the Recipient. The differences reflected between the Bank’s records and these reports result from a system error under the exclusive control of the Recipient and its consultants. These differences were duly reported to the Recipient and its consultants for correction.

The audit identified that a subrecipient submitted an expense reimbursement request exceeding the incurred grant expenses through the submission date. This issue resulted from a misinterpretation by the subrecipient team regarding the correct procedures for completing the expense recording worksheet. Priorto FY 2025, existing controls over subrecipient monitoring were not effectively designed to detect this error. In 2025, BioSTL Grant Management and Finance leadership implemented a comprehensive post-award grant process, including extensive policies and procedures for subrecipient management and monitoring. Additionally, early in 2025, internal policies concerning subrecipient invoicing procedures were enhanced to require additional documentation and review for all subrecipient submissions of grant funds. These improvements have proven effective in identifying and rectifying errors prior to submission. To support these initiatives, BioSTL has conducted training sessions, reviewed implementation procedures, and held regular meetings to ensure that all BioSTL personnel and subrecipient staff fully understand the requirements and have ample opportunities for communication regarding grant draws. Furthermore, to align BioSTL Policies and Procedures, a comprehensive handbook has been developed for all virtual and on-site monitoring activities. These revised procedures mandate at least one virtual monitoring session every six months and at least one on-site monitoring session per participant throughout the grant period, with additional monitoring based on risk assessment outcomes. This schedule more closely aligns with CFR requirements and ensures oversight activities are conducted thoroughly and without lapses. On-site monitoring will be completed for all subrecipients before the end of the fiscal year, which closes on December 31, 2025.

Finding 2024-003 - Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (Material Weakness) CFDA Title and Number 84.425 Education Stabilization Fund Name of Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Education CFDA Title and Number 84.010 Grants to Local Education Agencies (Title I) Name of Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Education Compliance/Internal Control over Compliance: Auditee Responsibilities Criteria: CFR Part 200.508, CFR Part 200.510, Auditee Responsibilities state that the auditee must prepare the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards, which must list individual Federal awards by Federal Agency, including the total Federal awards expended, name of the pass-through entity, CFDA number, and total amount provided to subrecipients. The information contained in the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards should be derived from and relate directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial statements. Condition: The Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA) was presented for audit on an untimely basis, and with values that were not reconciled with the general ledger. Cause: The District staff had insufficient training or support to prepare the SEFA and ensure that it was reconciled with general ledger amounts. District management did not have monitoring policies to recognize and correct the deficiency. Effect or Potential Effect: Errors in recording and reporting of revenues and expenditures of federal awards may not be detected and/or corrected. Because the Auditee’s SEFA that was presented for audit was completed incorrectly, and not reconciled to the general ledger, the SEFA was materially misstated, prior to auditor's correction recommendations. Questioned Cost: No Context: Lack of adequate controls over the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards and related accounting resulted in the following:  SEFA was originally presented for auditors with incorrect information.  SEFA was not presented for auditors on a timely basis.  No reconciliation between federal expenditures reported on the GL and the SEFA was presented. Repeat of a Prior-Year Finding: No Recommendation: We recommend that the District establish policies and procedures to ensure that all Federal awards are identified and reported accurately on future SEFAs. Internal controls should be designed to prevent, detect, or correct errors in a timely manner by performing periodic reconciliations of the SEFA information to the general ledger throughout the fiscal year. The District should provide appropriate training to staff who are assigned to prepare and review the SEFA. District’s Response: The District acknowledges the deficiencies. Corrective Action Plan: The District will establish policies and procedures to ensure that all Federal awards are identified and reported accurately on future SEFA reports. Planned Implementation Date: August 1, 2025 Responsible Person: Director of Business Services, Yamhill County School District No. 8

Management’s response/corrective action plan: YSD acknowledges the deficiency and attributes it to a lack of knowledge on the part of the Special Education group for this requirement. The appropriate personnel have been notified and have been provided sufficient training materials to address this issue.
