When the project started, the National Trail Local School District was not fully aware of all needed requirements when using federal grant dollars. At that time, the information and directions had not been clearly issued by the State of Ohio and the District was learning about the uses and regulations when it came to COVID dollars. However, once we were aware we immediately made the needed changes. In the future, the District will put controls in place to address this issue to ensure we properly follow the guidelines when using federal grant dollars.

The primary recipient of cash advanced under the SCRI program was the USDA Agricultural Research Service (ARS). The USDA-ARS Trust agreement with SHAC allowed for advancement of funds to the Federal agency so they could hire staff under their contracting agreements with the Department of Energy?s ORISE program. Funds are required up front for ORISE hiring contracts. USDA-ARS manages the risk by portioning out payments to ORISE so funds can be suspended upon unsatisfactory performance. Secondarily, cash advances were also made to the Land Grant University Subawardees for similar hiring and supply procurement reasons at the start of the grant. Due to extreme labor shortages caused by post-pandemic issues with available staffing, some positions remained unfilled for longer than expected, creating a discrepancy in expected expenses. This issue has been resolved. All Subawardee contracts were transitioned to a cost-reimbursement basis in the 2023-24 grant period. SHAC will ensure proper reporting of expenditures in a timely manner from its Subawardees through timely pursuit of invoices from University sponsored program offices.

Name, address, and telephone of Housing Authority contact person: Kathy Clark, Finance Director 25 W. Nora Avenue Spokane, WA 99205 (509) 252-7109 Corrective action the auditee plans to take in response to the finding: Spokane Housing Authority acknowledges the above reference finding. Although personnel responsible for conducting the HQS inspections and ensuring owners corrected the cited life-threatening deficiencies were trained on policy and procedure, SHA did not establish the internal controls to ensure proper follow-up was made. In September 2022, SHA, established a Housing Support Specialist position, which will log life-threatening HQS deficiencies as documented on the HQS inspector?s reports daily and follow-up with the landlord within the 24-hour timeframe to ensure that repairs have been addressed and completed. If repairs have been made pursuant to the directive given by the inspector, then a letter will be sent to the landlord and tenant indicating that the 24-hour hazards have been fixed. If the landlord fails to comply within the 24-hour timeframe, then the unit fails, and a Notice of Termination of HAP letter will be sent to the landlord and tenant. SHA will work with the tenant to start the process of locating a new unit that passes HQS. The log of deficiencies will be reviewed by the Inspections Coordinator regularly as an additional internal control. Anticipated date to complete the corrective action: January 1, 2023

On August 30, 2022, the administrator asked the Town to reach out to the bank to see if the Town had received any direct deposits.

Finding No. 2022-001 Audit Requirements for Auditees ? Report Submission Condition found The data collection form and the reporting package for the year ended on June 30, 2022 was not submitted to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse within the timeframe prescribed by the Uniform Guidance. Views of Responsible Officials and Corrective Action PlanPuerto Rico Department of Health (DOH), Puerto Rico Infrastructure Financing Authority (PRIFA), Puerto Rico Aqueduct and Sewer Authority (PRASA), entered on December 30, 2016, into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), subsequently amended on September 17, 2018, to include the Fiscal Agency and Financial Advisory Authority (FAFAA). Under the MOU, as amended, each party has agreed to assume specific responsibilities in connection with the operations of the Revolving Fund pursuant to the Operating Agreement entered between the EPA and the DOH on September 28, 2018. Pursuant to the MOU, as amended, DOH will remain as the administrator for the Revolving Fund, PRIFA will act as the operating agent to provide assistance with the financial and accounting activities, and FAFAA will conduct the financial capabilities analysis of any eligible assistance recipient of funds, provide the necessary information to the DOH and PRIFA to the extent as possible for the development of the different programs compliance reports reviews, provide assistance as fiscal agent, financial advisor and information agent of the Commonwealth to ensure that the monies are safeguarded in a trust structure and to assist the DOH as deemed necessary with the administration of the program. The data collection form and the reporting package were not file on time due to lack and availability of funds to cover expenses related to the audit process and other expenses related to the administrative responsibilities assigned in the MOU, as amended, to PRIFA. Management is requiring DOH to formalize a Subaward, as established in the MOU, as amended, to facilitate and respond to the lack of funding to cover all the related expenses for the administrative responsibilities assigned to PRIFA. EPA has been informed and communication will be maintained until the Subaward is finally signed. Management plans are to file the data collection form for the fiscal year ended on June 30, 2022 on or before June 30, 2023, and the data collection form for the fiscal year ending on June 30, 2023 on or before December 31, 2023, which will result in elimination of the finding.
