The University agrees with the finding and to ensure compliance with the federal requirements that disbursement data be reported within the 15-calendar window, the Financial Aid Director is in the process of developing a new Policy that will address the review of rejected or denied Pell Disbursement. Any Pell Award that is disbursed but rejected or denied on COD will be cancelled off student accounts while the Financial Aid Office resolves the reason why a Pell Grant disbursement was rejected or denied. Some situations cannot be resolved within the 15-day window. It is therefore prudent for the University to remove the Pell disbursement and resolve the issue before re-disbursing the award. The new Policy will also include a pre-disbursement authorization process to confirm that the disbursement once requested will be accepted on COD, therefore reducing the risk of the University disbursing a Pell Award that will be rejected on COD. The University has also contracted with a PeopleSoft consultant to address the manual processes and develop a more automated business process.

Charter Schools ? AL #84.282 Education Stabilization Fund ? AL #84.425C, 84.425D & 84.425U 2022-001 Risk Assessment Process Related to Compliance Requirements (Repeat Finding 2021-001) Material Weakness Recommendation: The Auditor recommended additional resources be allocated to federal award compliance to review federal award provisions and requirements, evaluate risks of noncompliance, and respond to such risks through internal controls. The process should include methods to identify and communicate changes to federal award requirements to all key individuals within the Organization and to verify internal controls are implemented correctly and are operating effectively. Planned Corrective Action: As the organization has grown, compliance of federal programs has become decentralized. We agree that additional resources need to be added to ensure compliance with all state and federal awards. The Organization is adding additional capacity to the Business Office to centralize the compliance and reporting responsibilities. The Organization has recently had the opportunity to redesign the job description of the Controller. To allow the Controller more capacity for compliance and reporting responsibilities, an accounts payable position will be added by the end of Fiscal Year 2023. The Controller will attend appropriate trainings to ensure a full understanding of all requirements. This should be fully implemented by mid-2023.

2022-002 INTERNAL CONTROL OVER COMPLIANCE WITH ACTIVITIES ALLOWED OR UNALLOWED, ALLOWABLE COST/COST PRINCIPLES ?

2022-004 INTERNAL CONTROL OVER COMPLIANCE AND COMPLIANCE WITH PROCUREMENT, SUSPENSION AND DEBARMENT The National Trust has a Procurement SOP that is fully responsive to CFR ?200.318, and the sampled expense complied with that policy when procured in April 2022. Federal funds were awarded in July 2022 permitting reimbursement of costs incurred as early as March 2021. At the direction of pass-through entity Westchester County, these one-time coronavirus relief funds were applied to reimburse the National Trust for expenses selected by that entity even though the vendors were contracted prior to the award of relief funds. To remedy any gaps in our process, the National Trust will modify the Procurement SOP to clarify that multiple contracts with a single vendor must be treated as a single contract for purposes of the small purchase threshold and will ensure that all expenses are subject to the more stringent requirements under CFR ?200.318. Additionally, the National Trust will modify the procurement procedures to ensure that suspension and debarment screening occurs prior to entering contracts.

Memorandum of Understanding Billing Recommendation: We recommend that the organization implement procedures to ensure that reimbursement requests are based on actual invoices. Explanation of disagreement with audit findings: there is no disagreement with the audit findings. Action taken in response to finding: Once this deficiency was identified, PVARF immediately contacted VA Portland Health Care System to determine if invoicing would the forthcoming. When it was made clear that there was no forthcoming invoicing, the sponsor was contacted to determine refund steps. Ultimately, the funds were returned to the agency that was inappropriately billed. Action Plan: In addition to ensuring effective communication between the stakeholders, PVARF implemented standard follow-up protocols to make certain VAPORHCS is invoicing PVARF timely, PVARF is in the process of implementing a project management platform that will effectively and efficiently manage major milestones such as invoicing for grants, contracts, and clinical trials. It was also made clear to PVARF administrative staff that there will be no billing ahead of receipt of invoices on any agreements, and that doing so is a breach of the executed contract.

The Department of Human Services (DHS) agrees with the finding in this report. The DCAS System is currently configured to receive the Title II benefit information via the SSA BENDEX periodic data match process. However, the Title II benefit information is shared with DCAS only when the benefit information with the SSA changes. In the scenario where a TANF benefit is certified on a new application, the BENDEX PDM process will not provide the Title II benefit information to DCAS. Hence, we have seen evidence of the data matches not happening up until the point when the benefit information recorded with SSA has changed. The SSA SolQi interface does provide a customer?s Title II and Title XVI benefit information at the time of the initial application, however, this interface in DCAS is configured as a verification interface. In other words, if the customer has reported income from the Social Security Administration, then the DCAS System uses the data match with the SolQi interface to verify the information reported. If a verification is outstanding on the reported benefit from the SSA, and the information received from SolQi matches, then DCAS system is configured to systematically resolve the verification. Hence, there has been evidence of the record received via SolQi, however, the record was not used to update the internal evidence which is used by the eligibility rules. DHCF DCAS teams are tracking system enhancements, logged in internal JIRA tickets ? DSM-3185 and DSM-3186 to enhance DCAS? interface with SolQi to leverage the interface at initial application and during the recertification process to ensure that the DCAS System has the most up to date income information from SSA to determine eligibility. These tickets are currently scoped for the FNS-AWL-CAP-5 releases planned for fiscal year 2024. See Corrective Action Plan for chart/table

The Department of Human Services (DHS) agrees with the findings and will work with the DCAS and the Division of Innovation and Change Management (DICM) teams to mitigate the causes of the findings. This corrective action plan has multiple layers in which ESA will collaborate efforts between multiple units within DHS/ ESA that includes the Division of Customer Workforce, Employment and Training (DCWET), the Division of Program Operations (DPO), and DICM. The Office of Performance Monitoring (OPM) has a process in place to monitor and confirm the hours reported from CATCH. OPM Monitors will continue to randomly generate 60 sample cases from Q5i monthly, review them and if they find any discrepancies would refer them to either OWO, DPO, or TEP Providers for resolution. When OPM conducts their review of DCAS hours, and identifies income and hour differences, the Department of Program Operations (DPO) is informed and/or the Office of Work Opportunity (OWO) requesting their assistance with resolving the discrepancy. While this would be a short-term solution it will go a long way to resolving some of the discrepancies in reported work hours that are being transmitted to Q5i. The Office of Work Opportunity (OWO) conducts outreach to customers come in for assessment and assignment to a TEP Providers. This process would eliminate instances where hours found in the DCAS system is unknown to the CATCH system. ESA will work with DCAS to enhance the system to tie the income evidence in the income support case to the employment evidence in the person record to allow the employment hours to end date once the income evidence is end dated. This will automate the process by connecting the 2-step process into one task. This automation process would be a permanent solution to curbing stale of unsubstantiated hours from migrating to Q5i.Once the system enhancement is in place, training will be conducted for all DPO Social Service Representatives on the DCAS screens which require action to confirm employment.
