Finding 2024-02 Reporting (ALN 10.557) Indiana University Health analyzed the miscalculation to determine if the failed control resulted in a material misstatement as well as similar transactions to determine if the miscalculation was isolated.

We are fully committed to meet our reporting obligations for all of our donors. During 2024, the federal government had changed its login process to Payment Management System (PMS) and that resulted in access problems for our users at that time. Replacement account activation was gradual and took some time before we got the access to all the projects on PMS. We are already tracking both financial and narrative reports from the signing stage of projects, and most of the reports are prepared on time. Going forward, we will further strengthen our backup plans for submission of reports, both online and through email. We will develop a backup plan and strengthen delegation plans for each region during the times when the primary contact is not available

2024-001: Internal Control Over Compliance with Subrecipient Monitoring and Noncompliance with Subrecipient Monitoring U.S. Department of Health and Human Services; Passed through the State of Tennessee Department of Health: ALN #93.558 Temporary Assistance for Needy Families Management’s Response: We concur. View of Responsible Officials and Corrective Action: United Way has an Agency Eligibility Review (AER) to ensure an organization is financially sound prior to awarding funding. As part of this process, subrecipients are required to provide their most recent From 990, as well as audited or reviewed financial statements, based on their gross revenue. United Way utilizes the AER as part of subrecipient application process government grants awarded to United Way. Historically, the majority of the government grants awarded to United Way have been for a 12-month period. However, the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families grant represents the first multi-year grant received by United Way from the State. Due to the multi-year nature of this award, United Way initially obtained financial records only after subrecipients entered the program. Going forward, we will review our processes to ensure financial records are collected and reviewed in a timely manner for all multi-year grants. The Senior Director of Innovation & Strategy and the Senior Director of Finance will obtain and review the most recent audited financial statements for the subrecipients. Supporting documentation will be maintained with the grant activity to ensure proper compliance documentation is kept.

2024-002 Department of Housing and Urban Development, Assistance Listing Number 14.239 Home Investment Program: Income Verification Criteria: Organizations that operate rental housing developed with HOME funds are responsible for verifying and documenting tenant income to ensure that units are rented to eligible low-income households. Complete and accurate income documentation is essential to demonstrate compliance with program eligibility requirements and long-term affordability commitments. Condition: During our review of 34 tenant files for HOME-funded rental units, we noted the following: • 6 files did not contain any income verification documentation • 1 file include income documentation, but it was incomplete and missing required supporting documentation Cause: These issues primarily occurred during a transition in property management. The change in personnel and processes led to a lapse in documentation and inconsistent application of income verification procedures. Effect: Without proper income verification, there is a risk that units may be rented to households that do not meet eligibility requirements. Additionally, the absence of documentation may hinder the Organization’s ability to demonstrate compliance during monitoring or audit reviews. Questioned Costs: Not applicable. Auditor’s Recommendation: We recommend that management strengthen internal controls over the income verification process by: • Implementing a standardized checklist for required documentation • Providing staff training on income verification procedures • Conducting supervisory reviews of all files prior to tenant approval, especially during periods of staff transition Auditee’s Response: Management agrees with the finding and has taken steps to address the issue. Four of the seven identified files have been updated with complete income documentation for 2025, and the remaining three are in process.

FINDING 2024-001 Finding Subject: COVID-19 – Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds – Suspension and Debarment Contact Person Responsible for Corrective Action: County Commissioners & Auditor Jill Landrum Contact Phone Number and Email Address: 260-358-4805; jill.landrum@huntington.in.us Views of Responsible Officials: While the Auditor implemented a procedure for verifying that persons and entities related to contracts or covered transactions were not suspended, debarred, or otherwise excluded, she concurs with Finding 2024-001, in that no internal control procedure was documented that a second person had reviewed the procedure to ensure compliance with the requirements. Description of Corrective Action Plan: The Auditor will work with the Commissioner’s Office Manager Gretchen Lenfestey to discuss changes needed for the previous policy implemented. The new County Attorney has already addressed the need to include Suspension and Debarment language in the contracts that the County signs. If the language is not included, the contractors/vendors will be asked to sign a statement that they have not been suspended, debarred, or otherwise excluded from participating in federal programs. Prior to the Commissioners signing a contract, their Office Manager will be responsible for verifying that each contract contains the Suspension and Debarment language, or that the County has a statement on file from the Contractor/Vendor that they have not been suspended, debarred, or otherwise excluded. The Office Manager will maintain an annual list of all County contracts and will verify with his/her initials that the Suspension and Debarment language is contained in the contract or that there was a separate statement obtained. The Office Manager will send a copy of all signed contracts and signed statements to the Auditor and the Accounts Deputy. On a monthly basis, the Commissioner’s Office Manager will also e-mail an updated list of contracts indicating the documents verified, so the Auditor’s office can verify their records. The Auditor’s Accounts Payable (AP) Deputy will also generate a report from the Financial Software each January to create a list of vendors that were paid more than $25,000 in the previous year. A letter will be mailed requesting the Vendor’s signature on a Suspension and Debarment Certification. They will be asked to return the certification form to the Auditor’s Office by e-mail or mail within 30 days. The AP Deputy will be responsible for keeping a file of the forms received and updating the list with his/her initials. After the 30-day timeframe passes, the Accounts Deputy will double-check the received forms against the mailing list and initial that he/she has verified. The Accounts Deputy, or the Auditor’s designee will conduct a search for exclusions on the Sam.gov website for all vendors that did not return a certification form. A copy of the sam.gov verification will be saved, and the vendor list will be updated & initialed. The Accounts Payable Deputy will double check the verifications to make sure all vendors have either provided a signed certification or that a sam.gov verification was obtained. Anticipated Completion Date: December 31, 2025 Respectfully submitted, Jill M. Landrum Huntington County Auditor INDIANA STATE
