DEPARTMENT OF ELEMENTARY AND SECONDARY EDUCATION 2023-005 Child and Adult Care Food Program – Assistance Listing No. 10.558 Action taken in response to the finding: The Office for Food and Nutrition Programs (FNP) has moved from a paper based permanent agreement to a web form that exists on the DESE Security Portal.

DEPARTMENT OF ELEMENTARY PUBLIC HEALTH 2023-004 WIC Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children – Assistance Listing No. 10.557 Action taken in response to the finding: DPH will continue to automatically generate a subrecipient notification whenever federal funding amounts change. However, because FAIN# and grant award date information is not currently available through our automated systems, we will require bureaus to include a contract attachment that includes this information. The state’s current accounting system is being replaced by a new system, with improved grant functionalities. If the FAIN# and grant award information is available through this system, DPH will be able to add these data to our automatically generated subrecipient notification in the future.

DEPARTMENT OF ELEMENTARY PUBLIC HEALTH 2023-003 WIC Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children – Assistance Listing No. 10.557 Action taken in response to the finding: The Department and the WIC Nutrition Program will have all fiscal staff review the Operating Procedures to refresh themselves of the procedures surrounding Purchase Orders and Expenditures. (Excerpt from Operating Procedures) All Staff should complete a “Request for Purchase” form with all pertinent information such as quotes, renewal notices, conference registration, etc. and submit it to supervisor or Director for initial approval. Once the request is approved, the form is given to a fiscal staff to start the process of encumbering funds through MMARS and preparing a PURCHASE ORDER. At the very least, staff will identify that the service performed is correct and that funds are available and already encumbered to process the payment. All federal payments require a Program Code, and so the fiscal staff need to be sure the appropriate one is entered based on the dates of service or the date of the Purchase Order. Once all documents have been uploaded and submitted, then either the WIC State Director or the Fiscal Director will need to electronically approve the transaction in the Tracking System. The Fiscal Director and the State Director will more thoroughly review the assignment of Program Codes as they pertain to the Federal grant award dates before approving payment documents. This review will involve verifying: • The type of service • Date of service or receipt of item • Date of Purchase Order • Program Codes Name of the contact person responsible for corrective action: Beverly Andrew and Rachel Colchamiro Planned completion date for corrective action plan: April 30, 2024

Audit Finding Reference: 2023-001 Planned Corrective Action: This finding represents a typo and is attributable to a human error. The error was corrected immediately after the auditor brought it to our attention. The League has strengthened its internal controls over timely submission of subaward data in FFATA (Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act) reports. NUL Legal Department used to be responsible for generating FFATA reports, as they are authorized with review of new grant agreements as well as related contracts/subrecipients agreements submitted for approval. In prior years some reports were not submitted in time because of continuous turnover in the department in 2021-22. The regular workflow was sometimes interrupted, and new appointees had to catch up following their priority lists. Eventually, at the end of February 2023, the function was moved to the Finance department and a specific position designated for completing FFATA reports. All pending FFATA reports have been completed immediately after that. We keep submitting FFATA reports for new grants as soon as subaward amounts are finalized. In view of the above error, we will establish an additional layer of control over FFATA report accuracy, so the reports are thoroughly reviewed, once entered into the system, and approved by either VP/Director, Budget & Grants or CFO. Overall, we believe the strength of our internal control ensures a timely and complete submission of FFATA reports.

Whitehead@arcare.net Expected Completion date: September 2024 Finding No. 2023-001 states: Criteria: Under the requirements of the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act (Pub. L. No. 109-282), as amended by Section 6202 of Pub. L. No. 110-252, hereafter referred to as the "Transparency Act" that are codified in 2 CFR Part 170, recipients (i.e., direct recipients) of grants or cooperative agreements are required to report first tier subawards of $30,000 or more to the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act Subaward Reporting System (FSRS) Condition: The Organization failed to file FFATA reporting submissions for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. Management agrees with the finding. We have conducted the following steps to come into compliance with the Transparency Act: • Wording has been added to Program Monitoring and Data Reporting Systems Policy: ► Grant Program and Financial Management must compile and report data and other information as required by HRSA relating to Subrecipients (FFATA). ► Director of Grant Management will perform the following standard operating procedure for each grant to inform and prevent loss of knowledge for current and future staff members: ► Review and obtain understanding of all guidance and NOA grant terms; ► Relay this information to all grant program and finance staff; ► Assign duties and reporting to appropriate staff; ► Maintain a tracking sheet for grant reporting requirements; ► Confirm all reporting is completed accurately and timely; ► A FFATA data information form will be attached to Subrecipient agreements annually to assist in the reporting requirement; ► Copies of the submissions are maintained in the Department's file to ensure proper compliance documentation is kept. • All grant awards containing subrecipients have been reviewed and data gathered in order to report in the FSRS for 2023. Staff has prepared and filed the late reports for ARcare fiscal year 2023 with exception of one which we are waiting on for more information. We expect to report on this one by September 2024. Those filed were reviewed by Finance. • No awards have been given yet in 2024 so the FSRS reports for 2024 are not due. Awards projected to be given are in September and October 2024 and we intend to be in compliance by reporting deadlines.
