Finding Reference Number: 2022-002 Description of Finding: The requirements of 2 CFR Part 170 Appendix A state that direct recipients of grants or cooperative agreements are required to report first-tier subawards of $30,000 or more to the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act (FFATA) Subaward Report System (FSRS) by the end of the month following the month in which the direct recipient awards such subawards. Statement of Concurrence of Non-compliance: The department in question did not understand that the award was within the scope of work that required it to be reported. As such, we agree with this finding. Corrective Action: The department representative has since filed this award in FSRS and will do so with all future awards as required.

FINDING 2022-004 The 2022 97.024 Emergency Food and Shelter National Board Program grant funding was received during a crisis resulting in a unique situation for the City of Chicago. The funding was provided before the federal government set up an award identifier (i.e., ALN/CFDA, CSFA), resulting in the Delegate Agency contract with the Department of Family Support Services (DFSS) containing only the name of the Grant. To address and prevent such issues in the future, the City's Office of Budget and Management (OBM) will run a Comprehensive Report quarterly to identify any placeholder award identifiers during funding setup. The Grants Management Unit within OBM will collaborate closely with the Department of Finance (DOF) to ensure the federal award identifiers are promptly updated in the financial system. Moreover, to ensure accuracy and compliance, the Grants Management Unit will work with the relevant contracting Department to update contracts with Delegate Agencies. This measure will guarantee that all necessary award identifiers are included, streamlining the funding process and ensuring proper tracking and reporting of federal grants. Assistant Budget Director Belczak at the Office of Budget and Management will be responsible for ensuring that this corrective action plan is implemented by the beginning of the fourth quarter in October 2023.

Person Responsible: Irene Math, Chief Financial Officer, Rajendra Mangal Director of Planning Comment: The Agency?s current policies and procedure on the preparation of the SEFA were not detailed enough to ensure all finds were identified as ether non-Federal, Federal or pass-through Federal awards, which resulted in the SEFA provided to the auditors to not accurately reflect certain Federal expenditures and Assistance Listing information. Response: WJCS understands its responsibility for complying with Single Audit requirements and acknowledges the importance of having appropriate internal controls which ensure completeness and accuracy of the Schedule or Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA). WJCS has reviewed the current procedures and is in the process of implementing proper grant intake for new grants. Reconciliation to related financial statement information and internal review and approval is in the process of being documented. Proper agency grant intake procedures will allow WJCS to easily determine the nature of the source of the grant, and any of the pertinent information which needs to be presented on the SEFA, including Assistance Listing, ratio of Federal funding and amount of pass-through Federal expenses. WJCS will utilize AICPA Auditee Practice Aids as a guide to revising existing procedures. Estimated Completion Date: Reporting Period Ending June 30, 2023

Finding 2022 ? 001 Fiscal year in which the finding occurred: 2022 Pass-Through Entity, if pass-through or Federal Grantor Agency, if direct: Chicago Bar Foundation Contact Person(s) Responsible for Corrective Action: Whitney Trumble and Cassandra Lively Contact Phone Number: 312-922-6464 Status of Audit Finding: At the time of the audit, CCR had not received funds for three months of work as a subgrantee on the large federal grant that is the subject of this plan. The grantor was awaiting the federal contract extension and funds, and so did not have the funds to release. CCR received communication from the grantor that the extension and funds would be available soon, so we prepared a check for a vendor. Then, there was an extensive additional delay in receiving the funds, and CCR did not send the check because the contract had not yet been signed and funds could not be dispersed. The expense had been approved by the grantor and the work was underway during the delay in mailing the check. Corrective Action: As of June 2022, stricter internal controls have been implemented to ensure that any reimbursements listed on a grant invoice have been sent out to the vendor before submitting the report. A more formal review process has been implemented: CCR?s Executive Director will review and approve monthly grant reports via email. She will also review and approve supporting documentation for reach grant report. Approval (sent via email) will be kept with in a digital file with the reporting documentation. An additional internal control has been implemented to ensure that expenditures submitted for reimbursement are within the period of performance for the grant agreement. The Executive Director will monitor the grant expenses against the grant agreement, paying specific attention to the invoices at the end of the grant period, in order to ensure that the invoice is dated prior to the end of the grant agreement or most current amendment.
