MANAGEMENT VIEWS AND CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN REPORT ON FEDERAL AWARDS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE OMB UNIFORM GUIDANCE SEPTEMBER 30, 2022 Finding 2022-001 Subrecipient Monitoring To ensure Auburn University is in compliance with 2 CFR 200.332(b), 2 CFR200.332 (d), 2CFR 200.332 (e), and 2CFR (f). Auburn University will implement the following corrective action plan: The Office of Sponsored Programs will verify that every subrecipient is audited as required by the Uniform Guidance when it is expected that the subrecipient's Federal awards expended during the respective fiscal year equaled or exceeded the threshold set forth in 2 CFR 200.501. The Office of Sponsored Programs has begun addressing this issue by enhancing the existing Subagreement Checklist utilized at the beginning of the subaward set-up. The new checklist provides a place for documenting the judgment around whether a new risk assessment should be performed, the results of the audit review, and the results of any necessary risk assessments. It also provides an opportunity for the administrator to detail the reasons for the risk assessment results. These documents will be monitored by the lead subaward administrator before the subaward is fully executed. Once reviewed, the lead subaward administrator will date and sign the checklist as verification that all applicable monitoring has been performed and gone through a two-step review process. The results will then be added to a master list that will be utilized when pulling the audit reports on a yearly basis for review. The checklist will be accompanied by a guide to completing the form and the regulatory backup for each applicable step. The Office of Sponsored Programs will evaluate each subrecipient's risk of noncompliance with Federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of the subaward for purposes of determining the appropriate subrecipient monitoring described in paragraphs (d) and (e) of this section of the guidance. These procedures include (among other items) obtaining a certification letter or current audit from the subrecipient and performing an annual risk assessment on all subrecipients. Auburn University has also engaged in the implementation of an electronic research administration (eRA) solution that will include a subaward module. We expect the eRA system to be fully operational during the first quarter of fiscal year 2025. Additionally, the Office of Sponsored Programs is currently reviewing the required staffing levels to ensure the timely implementation and operation of the above-referenced procedures.

To carry out its federal programs, Awaiaulu primarily contracts with Hawaiian language speakers and specialists that are known to Awaiaulu?s Executive Director and Program Administrator. This is a relatively small population of people. Only those with special ability and a known high ethical standard are contracted after discussion between the two. However, Awaiaulu will now document and include its procurement requirements in its existing "Fiscal Management Policies & Procedures Manual". Effective October 1, 2023, that policy will follow federal procurement standards; including verification that proposed vendors and contractors are not federally suspended or disbarred.

Finding 2022-001 (Significant Deficiency) ? Reporting (Repeat Finding) AL# 14.218: CDBG - Entitlement Grants Cluster, U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, all open grants and years Condition: There were three instances where Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act (FFATA) reporting was not completed timely. See Corrective Action Plan for chart/table. Criteria: CFR Appendix A to Part 170 a.2.ii. states that subaward information is to be reported no later than the end of the month following the month in which the obligation was made. Corrective Action Plan: Staff requested access to the FFATA documents through the General Services Administration's Federal Service Desk, which would have been submitted by a former staff member. The General Services Administration was not willing to release the information to current staff and staff were not able to find the files internally or determine if they were submitted. In addition, staff administering the program continue to train together to allow for redundancy in instances where staff capacity is limited. Staff submitted FFATA documentation; however, it was beyond the timeline outlined in the regulation. Contact Person: Erin Ollig Anticipated Completion Date: June 2023

Federal Schedule Audit Comment: County Response Emergency Rental Assistance Program Timely Reporting: The County made every attempt through communications with the Treasury to upload annual reports for ERA 1, without being able to do so by the due date. The County did submit the documents manually by e-mail through dumps of the system. County staff worked with the US Treasury to address these issues. A resolution to the problem did not occur until second quarter of 2023. The Final report for ERA 1 has been submitted through the portal. Cumulative Expenditure/ Obligation Amounts: There was some misinterpretation on the part of County staff on whether the cumulative amounts to be reported was for the quarter or cumulatively for the grant program. It is to be noted that amounts in the County system were properly recorded and no exceptions were noted in the actual expenses/ obligations being for a valid grant purposes. Corrected on Final Report for ERA 1. State/ Local Federal Relief Funds Program Cumulative Expenditures/ Obligations Incorrectly Reported: There was some misinterpretation on the part of County staff on reporting the election of the $10,000,000.00 Revenue Replacement Funds for the SLFRF. It was thought that you could only show the $10,000,000.00 as obligated and expended once the election was made. This resulted in a net overstatement of obligations for any revenue replacements funds that were not yet obligated by resolution by the Board of Mahoning County Commissioners. The County tracked the individual projects by notes in the Treasury system to note the actual obligations. The County?s financial system tracks grants by fund, department and project codes. The funds in the County?s financial system were and are correctly obligated and tracked. The County will make the necessary corrections to the 2023 second quarter report to make sure the report agrees with the County?s financial system. It is to be noted that no exceptions were noted in funds being used for the stated purposes of the grant. Senior management will provide additional oversight to the reports prior to submitting to the US Treasury.

Views of Responsible Officials and Corrective Action: The City reported expenditures for the entire award amount based on the guidance available at the time of the initial reporting period for the award. This resulted in over reporting expenditures for the audit period since only half of the award was remitted to the City during the period under audit. The City has put measures in place to ensure only expenditures for the amount received in a particular period are reported.
