Contact person(s) responsible: Associate Director, BB Beltran Recommendation: The Coalition should establish monitoring procedures to ensure that charges to federal awards and other funders are adequately documented and approved and comply with all established policies. Specifically, adequate documentation should include original itemized invoices or receipts, and clear documentation of review and approval. Management Response: NEW Corrective Action Plan: OCADSV implemented a third-party service for tracking the Coalitions costs by program in January of 2023. The submission, coding, approval and payment are processed within this software, which also allows for an audit trail of the processes performed by user and quick access to scanned original documentation. Quarterly budget expense reimbursements are prepared and submitted for review to the Associate Director and/or the Grants Manager. The monthly/quarterly reports are reviewed and approved, with general ledger support, before sending them to the funding agency as the quarterly invoice for reimbursements.

As part of our current policies and procedures review and revision process, we plan to incorporate the subrecipient monitoring and management provision of 2 CFR§ 200.331 and 2 CFR §200.332 of the Uniform Guidance to emphasize accountability and compliance in managing federal funds and subrecipients. Specifically and prospectively, effective November 1, 2024, the Organization’s practices will include: 1. Using a checklist for the determination of subrecipient or contractor classification as guidance; Perform a comprehensive risk assessment before entering into any subrecipient agreement. 2. Provide identification details such as CFDA number, amount of federal funds obligated, and the award period for determined subrecipient awards. 3. Require subrecipients to submit programmatic and financial reports as specified in the subrecipient agreement. 4. As part of the subrecipient process, ensure subrecipients that expend $750,000 or more in federal funds during a fiscal year undergo a single audit in accordance with 2 CFR Part 200, Subpart F. Review their audit reports and address any findings related to their federal awards, taking appropriate corrective actions Retroactively, for the audit periods July 1, 2022 – June 30, 2023 and July 1, 2023 – June 30, 2024, the Organization will perform a risk assessment of the existing subrecipient portfolio during this period to identify high-priority risks. The objective of this risk assessment review is to identify, evaluate, and prioritize risks that could adversely impact the organization’s ability to achieve its strategic, operational, and quality assurance goals, ensuring that all products, services, and processes align with established standards and fulfill processes. The above reflects the current planned practices of the Organization and the overall financial policies and procedures are in the process of being updated to align to the subrecipient monitoring and management provision of 2 CFR §200.331 and 2 CFR §200.332 of the Uniform Guidance. The Organization has prioritized the completion and distribution of the updated financial policies and procedures by December 31, 2024.

Fraud was identified by board members of the Dover Interfaith Mission for Housing (DIMH) in November 2023 with respect to the Emergency Housing and Health programs, and an internal investigation ensued. Prior to this finding, a committee of the board reviewed the Executive Director’s (ED) financial reporting and were confident in her documentation, which was also approved by the City of Dover manager of the Emergency Housing and Health programs. Briefly, the ED had invented invoices from motels and landlords along with applications from individuals and families who did not exist. In both programs, DIMH provided funds to cover motel stays and landlord payments and was reimbursed by the City of Dover. In practice, the ED simply took DIMH funds, deposited them into a personal account, and provided invented documents to the City that resulted in reimbursement to DIMH. This clever ruse had eluded both board and city personnel monitoring the expenditures and reimbursements. Once there was suspicion of fraud, board members not involved in prior program oversight actively reviewed files with the City’s program manager to ascertain its extent. A meeting was held between the board chair and the city’s program manager to review all files in order to determine the approximate extent of the fraud, which was clearly limited to these two grant programs. In early January 2023, DIMH board members arranged to meet with the Dover Police Department to provide an overview of the fraud. This led to police contact with local FBI and HUD inspector general offices along with the US attorney for Delaware, with the same board members providing all files and in-person descriptions of the scam. These agencies continued to work on uncovering the details of the case and are expected to meet with the former ED on February 28, 2025. In early 2024, the DIMH board engaged a new external accounting firm and created a new control environment with significant internal controls and separation of duties developed in collaboration with the contracted CPA firm.

Auditee Response: The auditee agrees with the finding. This was a perfect storm of events that created this scenario including COVID requiring the discontinuation of our Point of Sale (POS) System, tally sheets by classroom being used in place of that system, a change in head cooks during the year, and a failure to communicate properly between the Director of Food Service and the new Head Cook. Action Taken: The district has and will reinstitute the use of its POS system so that a child purchasing lunch types in their number and it is credited to that child's account. This system can then be used to track meal purchases throughout the day, week, or month. Since the HeadStart classroom are not MWSD students, they do not have numbers within the system. The Director of Food Services will use this system to report meal purchases and reimbursement rather than rely on head cooks and their tally sheets. Despite this, training should be conducted annually with all head cooks as to the qualifications of a reimbursable meal within the school district, so as to provide a fail safe in the event the POS system goes down for a period of time. Timelines/Contract: Most of this has taken place already in that we have returned to using a POS system. This system has the ability to track data and run reports, so it makes it error free when available. However, people ultimately must have the knowledge too so that they understand the parameters of a reimbursable meal should the system go down. Therefore, annual trainings will be instituted regarding such operations effective immediately. The Director of Food Service will be directed to use one in-service day annually for the purpose of teaching all staff members about reimbursable meals and how the HeadStart Programs fit into that. This should be completed no later than fall of 2025. The contact person would be Joe Stroup, Superintendent.

Information on the federal program: Federal Agency: Department of the Treasury Pass-Through Entity: N/A – Direct Grant Federal Program: Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (CSLFRF) Assistance Listing Number: 21.027 Compliance Requirement: Reporting Audit Findings: Significant Deficiency Condition: City of Bloomington completed quarterly reporting in a timely manner substantiated by the City’s expenditure detail. However, management could not differentiate between subrecipients and standard vendor expenditures. Context: During our testing procedures over CSLFRF reporting, we noted that segregation of duties is not present in the Federal reporting process resulting in overstatement of subrecipient activity within CSLFRF quarterly reports. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions: Management will develop an internal controls process to ensure that there’s segregation of duties within the reporting process for federal programs. Responsible party and timeline for completion: The City’s Controller will oversee the implementation of the corrective action plan, which will be implemented starting during calendar year 2025.

Information on the federal program: Federal Agency: Department of the Treasury Pass-Through Entity: N/A – Direct Grant Federal Program: Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (CSLFRF) Assistance Listing Number: 21.027 Compliance Requirement: Subrecipient Monitoring Audit Findings: Material Weakness, Noncompliance Condition: City of Bloomington was unable to identify subrecipients of CSLFRF funding for the purposes of financial reporting and compliance with requirements under 2 CFR 200.332. Management misreported subrecipient activity on the SEFA, failed to include required contractual language for subrecipient awards in executed agreements, and did not perform monitoring procedures over the subrecipients that were identified during testing procedures. Context: The 10 subrecipients represent approximately 38%, $1,935,000, of the total award expenditures of $4,999,384. The condition reported was prevalent for each subrecipient participating in the award. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions: Management agrees with the finding and will draft a policy and develop an internal controls process regarding subawards and the monitoring of subrecipients to ensure the compliance requirements are met. Responsible party and timeline for completion: The City’s Controller will be responsible for overseeing the implementation of the corrective action plan, which will be implemented starting during calendar year 2025.

2022-004 Cash Management Federal Program – All federal programs Criteria – Advances received on federal awards should be expended within 30 days of being drawn down to comply with relevant cash management requirements. Condition and Context – During the performance of our audit, we noted that the Organization had a significant amount of refundable advances on federal awards and had cash on hand that exceeded the anticipated expenses over the next 30 days. As a result of a conversion to a new accounting system, the impact of COVID-19, cash advances were not routinely reconciled during the year ended December 31, 2022. Questioned Costs – None. Effect – The Organization was not in compliance with the Uniform Guidance cash management requirements. Cause – With the conversion to a new accounting system, combined with the COVID-19, new accounting staff, refundable advances were not reconciled timely. Recommendation – The refundable advances of the Organization should be reconciled on a monthly basis, which will permit more accurate draws on federal awards. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions Management partially agrees with this finding as, in certain instances, the Organization must comply with the payment schedules of our grantors, which typically are on a quarterly basis. In some cases, there are strict schedules of draws in our grant agreements and no requests to draw funds are made. In situations when the Organization has the ability to draw funds, we agree not to make additional draw requests until the Organization has expended the funds already received. In 2022, due to the pandemic and the uncertainty of when programs would continue, many programs were suspended while waiting for travel restrictions to be lifted so that the Organization’s programs could be implemented. We will take the following steps: We will improve procedures to ensure that the drawdown of funds, from those grantors who require drawdowns will not exceed the Organization’s immediate use and we will develop additional procedures, as necessary, to assist in monitoring cash management.

Responsible Parties: Chief Executive Officer (Rose Turner), Interim Chief Financial Officer (Dan Miles), Finance Director (Kelly Glover) Gateway’s Management will utilize the implemented Matrix duties and responsibilities Grid to help monitor the documentation of required procedures and Standard Operating Procedures approved by the Board of Directors. The health center will use the approved Financial Policies and Procedures Manual as its Standard Operating Procedures. The Health Center’s Management employs key management staff that reflects the size and composition of a health center. Ongoing evaluations will be used to monitor the qualifications of the staff. This Audit is a late submission, however with the submission a qualified Chief Financial Officer is in place and has the qualifications needed to assess and train staff accordingly and provide recommended changes to the department. This new Chief Financial Officer will serve as a technical resource to assist with the implementation of all the resolutions to the findings of the 2022 and 2023 audits

ALN 21.023 - Lack of Internal Controls and Noncompliance with Reporting Requirement – Emergency Rental Assistance Program (Repeat Finding 2021-010) Beginning in October of 2021, the U.S. Department of the Treasury changed the ERA1 and ERA2 reporting requirements. In fact, each quarter of 2021 had various reporting changes. The County changed the manner of reporting which did result in difficulty in reconciling. Previous reports had several changes and had to be re-reconciled and amended. Therefore, it was determined to change to reporting when the subrecipient spent, rather than the county. The County contacted the U.S. Department of the Treasury, who stated any, and all reports should be corrected in the next reporting cycle, rather than retrospectively. The County agrees that some of the prior County Clerk’s records were not in proper order. The County has a new Clerk in place as of July 1, 2024, and is working diligently to improve processes and procedures to prevent this from occurring again in the future. Cleveland County takes the auditor's findings seriously and has already implemented several improvements in documentation, monitoring, and reporting practices. Cleveland County is working toward improvements for fiscal year 2025 and has reconciled billing to align with the contract scope of work. However, we recognize the need for documented internal controls and are committed to addressing all recommendations to ensure compliance and transparency in future programs. The County appreciates the constructive feedback and will continue to refine its processes to betterserve its citizens.
