The OCFO/OFT for DHS concurs with this finding. As a result of the findings, OCFO/OFT is committed to working with Fidelity National Information Services (FIS) to ensure: ? Strict procedures and practices are in place to ensure contract compliance. Quarterly management reviews of UPO practices have been conducted to ensure proper handling of DHS referral forms. OFT will ensure UPO up-holds policy and procedures that govern receiving proper signature on the referral forms; this should mitigate errors that appear in the current process. ? All Intake Procedures and Processes found in the EBT Manual are followed thoroughly by all employees. UPO will continue to enforce the progressive disciplinary process for errors or omissions identified during daily operations. ? The Division of Program Operations (DPO) along with the Office of Information Systems (OIS) are working to automate the Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) photo identification process. DPO will use the new EBT Portal to complete all photo identification referral online. This new process will be more streamlined and reduce any errors. See Corrective Action Plan for chart/table

DCPS agrees with the conditions and recommendations of this finding. The DCPS corrective action plan includes the following steps: While the meal program review process generally works well, it has become evident that there is a need to better capture completed reviews in addition to off-boarding staff from the FNS team. In this situation, a transition of staff and incomplete off boarding and incomplete uploading of the departing staff member?s laptop was found to be the root cause for FNS? inability to produce the 2 missing reviews. Moving forward, FNS Staff will be completing a verified upload of reviews to the DCPS-FNS SharePoint site as each cycle is completed. Validation that the upload from each Field Specialist has been completed will flow from the FNS Field Operations Specialist to the FNS Operations Manager. And a confirmation email will be sent from the FNS Operations Manager to the Specialist, Nutrition & Compliance who is accountable to OSSE. A copy of the communication will be maintained with the electronic file for ease of locating. See Corrective Action Plan for chart/table

Finding# 2022-001 Federal Agency Name: U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development Program Name: Community Development Black Grant/COVID-19 Community Development Block Grant ALN# 14.218 Finding Summary: 2 CFR 200.303(a) establishes that the auditee must establish and maintain effective internal control over the federal award that provides assurance that the entity is managing the federal award in compliance with federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of the federal award. 2 CFR Part 170 establishes requirements for recipients' reporting of information on subawards as required by the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act of 2006 (FFATA). During the testing of the CDBG program, it was noted the City does not have a process in place to identify that FFATA reporting was required and did not report information on the subawards as required by FFATA. Responsible Individuals: Crystal Campbell, Community Development Program Coordinator. Corrective Action Plan: The City of Meridian has implemented the following changes to its internal control procedures to address finding # 2022-001 as listed above. Effective January 1, 2023, we have updated our Grant Management Software (Neighborly) to provide a monthly report that displays all New Subrecipient Agreements executed with a value of $30,000 that fall under the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act (FFATA). This monthly report will establish an effective control over the necessary reporting of subrecipient agreements executed over the value of $30,000. The monthly Neighborly report will be reviewed and approved by the Community Development Program Coordinator along with their supervisor on a monthly basis to make the City compliant for FFATA reporting requirements. The Community Development Program Coordinator will have also added to the internal quarterly review process to discuss any FFATA items being considered and reviewed. Anticipated Completion Date: Ongoing.

FINDING 2022-002 Contact Person Responsible for Corrective Action: Steve Snider, CFO & Gina Buhr, Director of Business Operations Contact Phone Number: 260-920-1011 Views of Responsible Official: We adamantly disagree with the finding. The ?annual? reports in question were nothing more than a mid-point check on spending with the federal relief grants in the form of a jotform, which in and of itself, does not provide any good way to have an additional sign off. We already had controls in place for all of the spending occurring within these grants, so the proper controls were in place upstream from the jotform. Description of Corrective Action Plan: Jotform requests from the state are now entered with the data, printed out prior to submission, reviewed by a second party (if the CFO completes, the Director of Business Operations reviews and vice versa), then once the review is complete, the data is reentered and submitted. Anticipated Completion Date: We are starting this process in February with the Teacher Benefit jotform.

The County agrees with the finding and recommendation. On September 12, 2022, the County issued the ?Notice of Federal Subaward Information Template and Subrecipient Monitoring? memo, which provided departments with a template to communicate the 14 subrecipient reporting requirements from 2 CFR ?200.332(a) to their subrecipients at the time of the subaward. The memo also reminded departments to provide all the required elements from 2 CFR ?200.332(a) to existing CRF subrecipients that were not initially provided all the requirements. In addition, the memo reminded departments that subrecipient agreements must include detailed expectations for periodic reporting and timing of reporting submission. On January 12, 2023, the County issued the ?CARES and ARP Act Funds Subrecipient Monitoring? memo, which reminded departments that subrecipient agreements must include data encryption requirements. The memo also reminded departments that existing subrecipient agreements without data encryption requirements will need to be amended by departments. In May 2023, during the Single Audit Kick-off annual meeting, the County will include the issued ?Notice of Federal Subaward Information Template? on the presentation slides and remind departments that the template should be used to communicate the 14 subrecipient reporting requirements. The County will also reiterate that departments need to maintain documentation that the template was provided to subrecipients at the time of the subaward and existing subrecipients that were not initially provided all the subaward requirements.

This is a repeat finding of 2021-001. Public Works (PW) agrees with the finding and recommendation. Effective August 1, 2022, PW implemented corrective actions to 1) include a debarment contract clause of condition to the covered transaction with that person or vendor, 2) Divisions are responsible to check the vendor debarment status on System for Award Management (SAM) prior to entering into a contract and maintain documentation of that verification, or 3) collect a debarment certification from that person or vendor. Also, PW has revised the Purchase Request (PR) form used by PW end users to purchase most materials, supplies, and services by adding a field to identify projects/requests funded with federal grants. All PW end users must complete the PR form, including the federal funding information, prior to issuance of a purchase order. By May 31, 2023, PW will similarly revise its rental equipment request form, which is used in lieu of the general PR form noted above. Additionally, we requested that Internal Services Department (ISD) revise the debarment language on their contract solicitations to identify any contractors who may be debarred or suspended.

Recommendation: We recommend the District review the requirements of 2 CFR Section 200.213 and ensure that a review of the eligibility of potential vendors to participate in Federal assistance programs or activities is performed prior to disbursing funds to the vendor.

Finding: 2022-003 Material Weakness in Internal Control over Compliance and Material Noncompliance U.S. Department of Labor Federal Financial Assistance Listing 17.258/17.259/17.278 WIOA Cluster Subrecipient Monitoring Finding Summary: The County did not formally communicate the required information to the subrecipient. No subrecipient agreement was executed. In addition, no monitoring activities were documented. Responsible Individuals: Dana Aschenbrenner, Finance Director Corrective Action Plan: Johnson County disagrees with the underlying premises of this finding. This finding is due in part to the fiscal agent agreement with Iowa Workforce Development (?IWD?) which does not state that subrecipient monitoring has to be done. Recently, IWD received a finding from the Department of Labor stating that the template fiscal agent agreements imposed upon fiscal agents by IWD improperly placed liability of disallowed costs onto the fiscal agents. According to DOL, IWD?s form of fiscal agent contract was incorrect, i.e., the liability was to stay with the local CEOs. In the wake of the finding, IWD is reissuing the contracts out to the regions to create compliant subrecipient entities within each, and then new fiscal agent agreements will be issued. Additionally, Johnson County will be ending it fiscal agent agreement, and no longer continue to be the fiscal agent as of June 30, 2023. Anticipated Completion Date: Ongoing
