2022-001 Segregation of Duties – Loan Program Significant Deficiency Recommendation: The Housing Authority’s fiscal policies should be revised to ensure that preventive controls are in place over check disbursements for loan disbursements, such that checks must be signed with live signatures at least the signature of one Tribal Council member. Further, individuals who benefit from the loan program should not have complete discretion over recording and processing of advances and repayment. We recommend a complete list of outstanding balances be presented to the Tribal Council, or its designee, for continued monitoring. Action Taken: The SCCHA discontinued the Loan Program as of November 2019. A complete list of balances owed has been submitted to the Tribal Council with the outstanding balances of those whom had signatory authority forwarded to the St. Croix Tribal Court for further repayment actions.

REFERENCE # 2022-005 PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE – SIGNIFICANT DEFICIENCY- NONCOMPLIANCE Program Name/ALN Emergency Food and Shelter National Board Program (ALN # 97.024) Criteria: Compliance Supplement Requirement: A non-federal entity may charge only allowable costs incurred during the approved budget period of a federal award’s period of performance and any costs incurred before the federal awarding agency or pass-through entity made the federal award that were authorized by the federal awarding agency or pass-through entity (2 CFR sections 200.308 200.309 and 200.403(h)). A period of performance may contain one or more budget periods. Condition/Context: Division receive Emergency Food and Shelter National Board Program funds from the U.S. Department Homeland security/FEMA and various pass-through entities. The Division’s pass-through Contract requires period of performance and also requires funds must be expended by certain date. Of the Sixty (60) files selected for testing We noted that the Division: • For 4 samples, we noted that Division program expenses were recorded prior to Contract starting date. Questioned Costs: Cannot be determined Recommendation: We recommend Division charge only allowable costs incurred during the approved budget period of a pass-through award’s period of performance and any costs incurred before the pass-through entity made the federal award that were authorized by the pass-through entity.

REFERENCE # 2022-004 CASH MANAGEMENT – MATERIAL WEAKNESS- NONCOMPLIANCE Program Name/ALN Emergency Food and Shelter National Board Program (ALN # 97.024) Criteria: Non-Federal Entities Other Than States- Non-federal entities must minimize the time elapsing between the transfer of funds from the US Treasury or pass-through entity and disbursement by the non-federal entity for direct program or project costs and the proportionate share of allowable indirect costs, whether the payment is made by electronic funds transfer, or issuance or redemption of checks, warrants, or payment by other means (2 CFR section 200.305(b)). What constitutes minimized elapsed time for funds transfer will depend on what payment system/method a non-federal entity uses. Under the advance payment method, federal awarding agency or pass-through entity payment is made to the non-federal entity before the non-federal entity disburses the funds for program purposes (2 CFR section 200.3). A non-federal entity must be paid in advance provided that it maintains, or demonstrates the willingness to maintain, both written procedures that minimize the time elapsing between the transfer of funds from the US Treasury and disbursement by the non-federal entity, as well as a financial management system that meets the specified standards for fund control and accountability (2 CFR section 200.305(b)(1)). Condition/Context: Division receive Emergency Food and Shelter National Board Program funds from the U.S. Department Homeland security/FEMA and various pass-through entities. Division receives advance funds from the pass-through agency and incurred program expenditures. Of the Sixty (60) files selected for testing We noted that the Division: (1) Does not have written procedures that minimize the time elapsing between the transfer of funds from the Pass-through entity and disbursement by the Division. Questioned Costs: Cannot be determined Recommendation: We recommend Division minimize the time elapsing between the transfer of funds from the Pass-through entity and disbursement by the Division. Corrective Action Plan: The Division will strive to minimize the time elapsing between the transfer of funds from the Pass-through entity and disbursement by the Division.

REFERENCE # 2022-003 OTHER - BASIS OF ACCOUNTING – SIGNIFICANT DEFICIENCY- NONCOMPLIANCE Program Name/ALN Emergency Food and Shelter National Board Program (ALN # 97.024) Criteria: Basis of Accounting —Uniform Guidance states the basis of accounting used may be a special purpose framework. However, it does state that the determination of when an award is expended must be based on when the activity related to the federal award occurs. Uniform Guidance also states for Grants, cost reimbursement contracts, cooperative agreements, and direct appropriation type of contracts, the federal expenditure or expense should be reported when the transaction occurs. Uniform Guidance further states, the auditee should also be able to reconcile amounts presented in the financial statements to related amounts in the schedule of expenditures of federal awards. Condition/Context: Division receive Emergency Food and Shelter National Board Program funds from the U.S. Department Homeland security/FEMA and various pass-through entities. Division report to the pass-through entity on an accrual basis. Division’s schedule of expenditures of federal awards is presented on the accrual basis of accounting. Of the Sixty (60) files selected for testing: • Five (5) prior year expenditures were included in Division’s current year schedule of expenditures of federal awards. Questioned Costs: Cannot be determined Recommendation: We recommend Division report program expenditures in the year expenditures were accrued. Corrective Action Plan: The Division will report program expenditures in the year expenditures were accrued.

Management's response: When the federal grant award came out at the end of December 2021, we did not get an approved budget and signed contract for work with the State until the beginning of July 2022 for work that dated back to October 1, 2021. Because of this, once we were able to begin invoicing, we utilized percentage allocations for employee's t ime, knowing that the majority of the employees had been doing work tied to the grant were allocated 100% to the grant and that significant time had been going to building up for the grant. However, it was not possible to go back and get time sheets that were tied to the grant for the majority of 2022 because we simply didn't have a contract in place yet. At the end of 2022, we began to utilize a more structured process for tracking allocations, requiring leadership to review their team member's allocations to grants on a quarterly basis and submit those to our Finance, HR, and Grants Compliance team to review. Because this didn't happen early enough in 2022, we did not have enough backup documentation to support the allocations based on what the audit requested. Views of Responsible Officials and Corrective Action : In 2023, we continued our structured process of time allocation reviews and quarterly approvals by leadership, HR, and Finance, and then in 2024, we launched our fi rst ever time study to also review and ensure time allocations were corresponding correctly with the time being spent on the grants. Name of Contact Person: Name:Julie Davis Title Chief Executive Officer Email: juliedavis@ywcatulsa.org Phone: 918-828-2346 Projected Implementation: The implementation is complete.
