Action Item Title 2022-003 – Procurement Policies and Covered Transactions Compliance Requirement Procurement, Suspension, and Debarment Status (Open: In-process) Condition: General Procurement Standards - Written Policies – The Corporation has an outdated institutional procurement manual approved in 2014 that lacks written policies to ascertain compliance with the provisions of federal statutes, regulations, or the terms and conditions of federal awards regarding procurement, suspension, and debarment requirements. Suspension and Debarment - Covered Transaction – From a population of nineteen disbursements, we selected nine disbursements to ascertain compliance with 2 CFR section 180.220 by examining the procurement documents provided by the Corporation. From that sample, we identified nine instances in which the SAM.gov registration verification process was not performed. Of the nine instances, we found eight suppliers properly registered, but one supplier appears as validated as unique and existing but not registered in SAM.gov. Identified root cause: Lack of understanding of procurement compliance requirements for federal awards. Fiscal year 2023 was the first year for the Corporation to be subjected to a single audit compliance requirement for receiving and expending COVID-19 public health emergency programs Grantee resolution plan: General Procurement Standards - Written Policies – With the implementation of Law No. 73 of 2019, previous processes established by regulation are repealed and rendered ineffective. In addition, the Corporation will adopt procurement policies in compliance with the federal regulations. Suspension and Debarment - Covered Transaction - Currently, the Corporation is verifying and requesting all suppliers with contracts of $25,000 and over with evidence of being active at SAM.gov. Also, the Corporation is verifying if the supplier is suspended or debarred to do business with the Federal government. Completion Date: General Procurement Standards - Written Policies – By June 30, 2025 Suspension and Debarment - Covered Transaction – Corrected in FY2023.

FINDING NO: 2022-002 - Subrecipient Monitoring (Repeated from Prior Year Findings 21-003, 20-004, 19-005, 18-004, and 17-003) CONDITION: Audit procedures revealed that ROE #47 was not properly monitoring subrecipients in accordance with the Uniform Guidance standards as follows: McKinney Education for Homeless Children – for three (3) of three (3) subrecipients tested, ROE #47: • Did not evaluate the risk of noncompliance with Federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of the subaward. • Did not determine whether the subrecipient met the 2 CFR 200 Subpart F Audit requirements criteria for a single audit. COVID-19 ARP - McKinney Education for Homeless Children – for two (2) of two (2) subrecipients tested, ROE #47: • Did not identify the subaward and applicable requirements in the agreements. • Did not evaluate the risk of noncompliance with Federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of the subaward. • Did not conduct subrecipient monitoring procedures. • Did not determine whether the subrecipient met the 2 CFR 200 Subpart F Audit requirements criteria for a single audit. PLAN: Moving forward, The Regional Office will formally identify the subaward and applicable requirements in our agreements. We will conduct subrecipient monitoring procedures. We will determine if the subrecipient met the requirement criteria of 2 CFR 200 Subpart F Audit requirements for a single audit. ANTICIPATED DATE OF COMPLETION: Fiscal Year 2025 CONTACT PERSON: Mr. Chris Tennyson, Regional Superintendent for Lee, Ogle, and Whiteside Counties.

Management Response #2022-014: Due to software update with DC Department of Health, the January 1 – March 31, 2022, records were not available, nor were internal reviews of eligibility requirements support available as required. Corrective Action Plan: • The Grants program management team will expand upon our current process to ensure eligibility determination is verified and documented. • Training will be provided to staff on performing income eligibility verification to include taking a screen shot of the eligibility and storing it on a protected shared drive with a de-identified naming convention. This will allow us to have a warehouse of the eligibility verification that can be referenced when needed. It shall be maintained by the WIC Director with limited access and password protection. Policy/procedure manuals for the WIC Dept will be updated to reflect this new requirement and ensure compliance. Responsible Party: Tracy Harrison, COO

Management Response #2022-013: Due to staff turnover in prior years and inadequate handover procedures, the Subrecipient Monitoring was not done as required.

Management Response #2022-009: Due to the staff shortages and turnover in FY2020-2022 the company did not have adequate personnel in place to monitor or document grant activity. Formal documentation of policies and procedures were also deficient. Additionally, documents were not stored centrally, which made it extremely difficult to find supporting documentation. Corrective Action Plan: The following action plans have since been implemented: • During the fourth quarter in 2022, finance team delineated and expanded positions whose primary responsibility is to monitor and manage all grant activities. • During the fourth quarter in 2022 a new process was implemented to track grant related activities. Prior to any drawdown, the expenses are pulled from the G/L and reviewed. The expenses are entered into a spreadsheet and totaled based on the applicable federal award which has been assigned a client ID in the accounting system. The finance team is notified of the amount due to be drawn for each federal award. That amount is entered into the accounting system as an accounts receivable entry. This process has been formally documented. • Project Budget Reports have been created for each federal award. These reports include the budget, expenses for each month and the revenue (drawdown) incurred for each month. The reports will be reviewed and reconciled by the grants administration staff and finance monthly to ensure all agree with the allocated costs and costs and are in compliance with grant regulations. Once approved by both teams the reports will be routed for signatures. This process was launched in July 2022. • Supporting documentation for all draws will be maintained on a shared network drive so that an adequate audit trail will be established. This drive will be backed up on a regular basis by the Information Technology team. Responsible Party: Tamara Barnes, CFO

Responsible: Denice Hairston, Chief Quality, Compliance and Accountability Officer Corrective Actions: Update FFATA reporting procedures to document and maintain documentation of Supervisory review and approval of FFATA data preparation. Completion Date: March 29, 2023 Explanation: Management concurs that although it already enhanced policies to comply with an OJJDP/OCFO recommendation resolved in 2023, which included a two-step review and approval process for subrecipient awards involving the Executive Team, grantor procedures will be updated as recommended to include a third step to specify review and approval of subrecipient FFATA data prior to submission. The Supervisor or member of the Executive Team will capture review and approval of FFATA data with an email including the approved list attached. When FFATA reporting is submitted by staff, the list will be updated with the date submitted and returned to the Supervisor to confirm timeliness. Regarding the 12 subrecipient awards for Court Appointed Special Advocates selected for testing FFATA submission requirements, 9 out of 12 reports were submitted by the last day of the month following the start of the grant period.

Responsible: Thomas Hoover, CFO Corrective Actions: 1) Update Finance policies to specify documentation and maintenance of such documentation of the review and approval of costs allocated to federal grants within the grant funding period. 2) Update grant policies to include subrecipient periodic submission of supporting documentation. Completion Date: July 10, 2024 Explanation: Management concurs that the procedures should specify documentation and maintenance of such documentation of the review and approval of costs allocated/charged to the federal grant within the grant funding period.

Responsible: Denice Hairston, Chief Quality, Compliance and Accountability Officer Corrective Actions: Update subrecipient award agreements to ensure the final approved scope of work or project description is specified. Completion Date: March 29, 2023 Explanation: Policies and procedures were updated in 2023 in response to an OJJDP/OCFO recommendation to ensure subaward files contain the requisite components for the award agreement. In addition to these updates, which include a master file checklist, National CASA/GAL has updated the subrecipient Terms & Conditions agreement to include CFR requirements as recommended.

Responsible: Thomas Hoover, CFO Corrective Actions: 1) Update Finance policies to document and maintain the documentation of Supervisory review and approval of journal entries charging payroll costs to federal grants; 2) Update Finance policies to review estimates of accrued costs charged to federal grants at calendar/fiscal year end to determine whether true-ups to actual costs are necessary. Completion Date: March 29, 2023 Explanation: 1) Review of allocated payroll costs: Payroll processing and recording of costs charged to federal grants has in practice, consistently involved multiple review and approval steps by at least two employees. Detailed records of these steps are maintained in Finance records for each payroll, including the allocated grant costs. However, Management acknowledges that an additional step be added to capture the documentation of review and approval of the payroll journal entries that allocate payroll costs to federal grants. This step was put in place in 2023 to resolve a recommendation from OJJDP/OCFO. Supervisor review and approval is captured directly in the general ledger system. Finance policies have been updated to codify this additional step as recommended. 2) Procedure for trueing up estimates: Three of sixty transactions tested showed that payroll costs were accrued at year end based on the approved grant budget but were not trued up in the new accounting period based on actual costs. The total variance of the three transactions was $6.20. Finance policies have been updated to include evaluating year-end accruals to determine whether a true-up is necessary in the new period as recommended.

Responsible: Sally Erny, Deputy CEO Corrective Action: Document and maintain documentation of Supervisory review and approval of grant reports. Completion Date: July 10, 2024 Explanation: Since the inception of National CASA/GAL receiving federal funding, procedures and practices were in place for the review and approval of performance reports and SF-425s (FFRs). This practice includes the involvement of multiple staff in the organization participating in the development and review of these documents and a knowledgeable staff member with appropriate authority approving the document. There are many points of approval through the development of the reports. In terms of the FFRs, the Accounting Director is responsible for preparing a Pivot table showing the expenses for the grant for both the quarterly and inception to date periods and to update the data worksheet for the quarterly FFR report. The Controller confirms that the cumulative expenses indicated on the quarterly FFR report data worksheet match the inception to date information in the accounting ledger and then approves the report. The Accounting Director submits the FFR report through the Grants Management System. In 2023 a policy, as part of the Operations SOPs, was put in place that in addition to the various staff who work on developing the performance report, OJJDP performance reporting would be reviewed and approved and documented as such, by the Project Manager and appropriate Chief Officer. This policy formalized what had been happening in practice over many years. While we acknowledge that this policy of documentation was not in place in 2022, the practice of review and approval was. In 2023 and going forward, we have improved documenting the approval processes for the FFRs and performance reports.

CONDITION: The District did not properly record its federal program expenditures for the GEER, ESSER, and ARP ESSER federal grant programs using the various federal funding source expenditure codes as prescribed by the Chart of Accounts for PA Local Educational Agencies maintained by the PA Office of the Budget, Office of Comptroller Operations. This is a repeat finding (2021-005) from the previous fiscal year. CRITERIA: The Pennsylvania Department of Education (PDE), through the PA Office of the Budget, Office of Comptroller Operations Chart of Accounts requires School Districts to utilize specific funding source codes for federal program expenditures. In addition, Section 2 CFR 200.302(a) and 302(b) of the Uniform Guidance requires non-federal organizations such as the School District to maintain financial records which account for federal funds in such a manner as to be able to properly track the identification and use of federal funds. RECOMMENDATION: I am recommending that the School District properly follow the guidance contained within the PA Office of the Budget, Office of Comptroller Operations Chart of Accounts for recording all expenditures of the School District, most specifically, federal program grant expenditures to 1) enhance internal controls for tracking and monitoring federal program expenditures and 2) comply with the recordkeeping requirements for federal funds as specified in Section 2 CFR Part 200.302(a) and 302(b) of the Uniform Guidance and PDE regulations. MANAGEMENT’S CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN: District management is in the process of revising its chart of accounts in the general ledger to properly reflect the funding source codes for federal program expenditures, and other available funding source codes (state and local) as applicable to the District. It is anticipated that the updated chart of accounts will be utilized by the District starting with the 2024-2025 fiscal year to enable the District to enhance its internal controls for tracking and monitoring federal program expenditures and to comply with the recordkeeping requirements for federal funds as specified in Section 2 CFR Part 200.302(a) and 302(b) of the Uniform Guidance and PDE regulations.
