Finding 2023-006 Supporting Documents for Eligibility Requirements During September 2024, POF updated its Housing Procedures Manual in compliance with Section 200.303 of Uniform Guidance and Ohio Recovery House Regulations.

Finding 2023-005 Accuracy of Federal Reports POF's initial and current exposure a few months later to Single Audit compliance requirements have sharpened its focus on the need to purposefully identify and maintain corroborating evidence regarding its timely submission and acceptance by each of the respective funding sources. While POF believes that all these reporting requirements were timely met and accepted by all funding sources, It did not consistently maintain either the report itself, or the related documentation such as copies of the emails sent or the associated read-receipts as evidence of these reports. Effective July 1, POF routinely and consistently accumulated and organized these documents as well as ancillary evidence of their transmission to, receipt by, and acknowledgement of acceptance by the federal agency. POF will be more diligent in its transmissions to funders. POF noted that the 2022 Closeout Report was inexplicably re-submitted instead of the correct 2023 Closeout Report. This is unacceptable, and POF will add a second set of reviews by a second person to improve quality control in this area. As necessary, POF will seek professional education and advice in implementing policies, practices, and procedures in addition to those already described herein.

Finding 2023-004 Adequate Allowable Cost Documentation As indicated in the 2022 POFCAP response to Finding 2022-003, and as reiterated herein, POF began to implement additional internal control procedures and practices effective July 1, 2024, to ensure that underlying cost documentation is adequate, reasonable, and complete in accordance with 2 CFR Part 200 Subpart E and other regulatory requirements. More specifically, vendor invoices as of that date and related supporting documents such as weekly meeting reports and sign-in sheets are being scanned and retained electronically. As in 2022, the contact information from the 2023 weekly reports was transmitted to either Wright State University or The Ohio State University for data mining purposes. On July 22, 20224, the POF Board of Directors unanimously adopted the POF Record Retention Policy, as recommended by the auditors. The Board also unanimously adopted a Code of Conduct along with Conflict of Interest, and Whistleblower policies as further evidence of their commitment to instituting policies and procedures designed to strengthen internal controls and comply with federal regulations. Questioned Cost Totaling $19,179 Effective July 1, 2024, POF's new internal control policies, and procedures will eliminate or drastically reduce future discrepancies of this nature.

Community Services Block Grant, ALN 93.569 Condition/Cause/Context: The County did not follow the documented policy or procedure for evaluating potential subgrantees’ risk of noncompliance prior to award of subgrants for purposes of determining the appropriate subrecipient monitoring. The County was not aware of their own policy and requirements of Uniform Guidance related to pass-through entities” responsibility to perform and retain written risk assessment as part of subrecipient monitoring. The County does have a policy in place in conformity with Federal Uniform Guidance criteria relating to evaluating the risk of noncompliance prior to awarding subgrants. However, the policy was not followed during the fiscal year under audit. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Action: The Campbell County Board of Commissioners concur with this finding and the related audit recommendation. Campbell County perpetually evaluates, updates, and compiles formal written policies and procedures for grants administration. The grants administration policy is consistent with the requirements of Uniform Guidance, as documented within the previously compiled and adopted County Uniform Guidance implementation package. In response to the criteria and condition of the finding regarding the written risk assessment was performed for the overall program and for the subrecipients. However, the written formal documentation was not retained for three of the four subrecipients through oversight. Formal checklists will be compiled and maintained within each grant file to ensure compliance with Guidance and retention of relevant documentation. The following individuals can be contacted for further information: Commissioner’s Office: Shelly Edwards, Chief Finance Executive, Sandra Beeman, Administrative Director and Kristin Young, Grants Management Specialist

Finding 2023-002 Evaluation of federal compliance requirements when receiving subawards U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Community Services Block Grant (Federal Assistance Listing #93.569) Federal Award Numbers: 60204, 60215, 60225, and 60235 Federal Award Year: 2020-2023 Responsible Officials Contact Information: 1) Monae Priolenau-Jones Telephone 718-310-5610, mpriolenau@wearebcs.org 2) Jodi Querbach Telephone 718-310-5600, X 1015 jquerbach@wearebcs.org View of Responsible Officials and Corrective Action Plan: BCS was notified that we must administer the Community Services Block grant program through a tripartite board for our fatherhood program. BCS has since received an advisory opinion from an Assistant General Counsel of the Department of Youth and Community Development stating that “the tripartite board requirement applies to local community action agencies [CAA], which is DYCD, not sub recipients...” Accordingly, as a sub recipient, BCS is not responsible for the implementation of the tripartite advisory committee. Moreover, the creation of the tripartite advisory committee would require BCS to have a board of directors which would include elected officials. It is in the sole discretion of BCS to decide whether to include an elected official on the board, as being mandated to do so by this directive may pose a potential conflict for BCS that may run contrary to state and federal laws. The BCS Board and Executive Management have implemented a comprehensive plan to complete the fiscal 2024 financial close and issue audited financial statements by November 30th, 2024. This marks an eight-month acceleration compared to fiscal 2023. This will be accomplished through better utilization of the general ledger system, a sequenced workplan with deadlines, and by assigning all tasks to specific staff. Step two of the same plan will deliver monthly financial statements within 21 days of the month end, starting with November 2024. These statements will be reviewed by Executive Management

To address these issues - UPCEE has hired a new Contract Manager (that comes highly recommended and has worked successfully with other TRIO programs) who will continue to do the following: • Oversee office management processes, budgets, and enhance our current way of working with federal timelines. • Ensure billings are kept timely and entered in the financial system for QuickBooks Online and now updates data entry after each completed month. These changes allow for the immediate completion and availability of data to be used for 990 completion and audit processing. • Work in tandem with the UPCEE Executive Director to ensure these tasks are done. With the implementation of these new processes, UPCEE feels very confident that this will prevent any further need for risk management.
