Finding 2022-002: Internal Control Over Financial Reporting - Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards Reconciliation - Material Weakness Condition/Context: During our audit, we noted that the Commission did not reconcile certain items included on the SEFA to actual activity (supporting records) to ensure the accuracy of financial information and to minimize the risk of misstatement.

Finding 2021-002 ?

Recommendation: The College should implement corrective actions to ensure that the above findings are resolved and does not recur in future periods. Moreover, internal controls over compliance with federal program regulations should be revisited to ensure adequate supervisory controls, quality assurance reviews of compliance steps, technical training of staff, and adequate procedures are being followed for compliance purposes. Corrective Action ? a) The two (2) students cited were oversights and the R2T4 funds have been returned. Official Withdrawal Notifications are scheduled bi-weekly, and the Unofficial Notifications are scheduled for the end of the semester. b) As previously mentioned, the College experienced significant turnover in the Business Office, responsible for the reconciliations, during 2022. We are in the process of replacing staff and recently hired a new CFO. The required reconciliations will be completed on a timely basis going forward.

Enrollment status reporting to NSLDS for four (4) students tested was not provided as required by Federal regulations. 2. The Center did not provide the Common Origination and Disbursement (COD) funding report for the entire 2021-2022 award year for Federal Direct Loans. As of the report date, the Center had requested it from the U.S. Department of Education. Recommendation ? The Center should implement corrective actions to ensure that the above findings are resolved and do not recur in future periods. Moreover, internal controls over compliance with federal program regulations should be revisited to ensure adequate supervisory controls, quality assurance reviews of compliance steps, technical training of staff, and adequate procedures are being followed for compliance purposes. Corrective Action ? The enrollment information was provided to the FA auditor and several inquiries were made for verification and no timely response was received from the FA auditor. Three versions of the COD reports were provided along with several inquiries for confirmation that the report is what was needed. No timely response was made to our request.

On May 3, 2021, the Grantee inform the Municipality about the determination to temporarily submit to a partial protective intervention the programmatic and administrative function of the delegated agency of Pe?uelas. As a direct consequence of such a determination, since May 3, 2021, up to July 31, 2022 (grant termination date), two employees of the Grantee had interference in all fiscal and programmatic transactions of the delegated agency, requiring their authorization for fiscal or programmatic transactions to be carried out. During this timeframe, key personnel of the delegated agency, such as the Program Director, the Program Accountant, the Property Manager, among others, resigned or were required to be replaced by the Grantee?s representatives, altering the programmatic and fiscal operations of the delegated agency. About the program year 2021-2022 closing, the Municipality of Pe?uelas return the funds surplus after the end of the period of liquidation of obligations, including the $3,288,516 related to Head Start Disaster Recovery program retained in the Program restricted cash account as instructed by a Grantee?s representative. Related to the program year prematurely terminated by the Grantee (program year 2022-2023), the Municipality?s Finance Department staff reconciled the program fiscal transactions registered in the Municipality?s computerized accounting system, with the grant awards, as amended, and prepare a liquidation report of each grant award. Such reports will be submitted to the Grantee to discuss the steps for liquidation of obligations with third parties, and the reimbursement of payroll and other expenditures financed by the Municipality?s General Fund.

New Directions DHS is exploring different possibilities to satisfy the audit finding to include the contracting of a certified public accounting firm to assist in conducting the financial portion of our subrecipient monitoring. Alternatives to Abortion Office of Policy Development (OPD) initiated numerous conversations with the Alternatives to Abortion grantee regarding receiving the requested documentation for monitoring (communication occurred regularly from April 2021 through January 2023). The grantee disagrees that the disclosure of this information is a requirement of the grant agreement and as such has not provided the documentation needed to complete the monitoring. On October 27, 2022, DHS sent a letter to the grantee outlining specific action steps to establish compliance with their grant agreement. The grantee responded on November 28, 2022, disputing the claims of DHS and asserting that they are not out of compliance with their grant agreement. OPD will be scheduling time to visit the grantee to review documents required by the terms of their grant agreement in order to complete the monitoring. Monitoring will occur by June 30, 2023.

DHS: The Office of Children, Youth, and Families (OCYF) is sending out a Restrictions and Requirements document with each tentative and final allocation letter. This document lists all OCYF?s grants, the federal agency granting the fund and where to find the rules and regulations guiding the usage of the funds. For the State fiscal year 2021-2022, Tentative Allocation Letters were sent out on April 1, 2021, with Federal Award Identification Numbers (FAIN) and funding amounts. Final Allocation Letters were sent out August 12, 2021, with the Amount, FAIN and Name. OCYF has a risk assessment process in place for Title IV-E and TANF awards. During the Quality Assurance reviews, which occur twice a year at a minimum, OCYF reviews a sample of Title IV-E eligible foster care cases, Title IV-E ineligible foster care cases, Title IV-E eligible adoption assistance cases, and TANF eligible cases. Depending on the number of eligibility and claiming errors identified during the review, OCYF schedules more frequent visits as the risk of repeated and continued errors in these County Children and Youth Agencies (CCYAs) is higher.

PDE uses its eGrants system to collect all LEA required records under ESSER I and ESSER II. The eGrants system is designed to allow licensed educational agencies and certain community-based programs within the Commonwealth, access to PDE grants. Through this system, the LEA can submit applications for funding, e-sign contracting documents, upload back-up documentation, submit program quarterly reports, and file final expenditure reports. PDE Division of Federal Programs also utilizes Pennsylvania's Information Management System (PIMS) to collect and verify LEA data. PIMS has business rules built in to ensure valid data collection. The eGrants system makes it possible for records pertaining to the ESSER awards to be retained separately from other grant funds, including funds that an SEA or LEA receives under the CARES Act and CRRSA. This follows the requirements under 2 C.F.R. ? 200.334 and 34 C.F.R. ? 76.730, including financial records related to the use of grant funds. Through quarterly financial reporting, LEAs are required to report the amount of cash received, expended, and on hand. If the amount of cash-on-hand reported is determined to be too high, or the quarterly report is not submitted, monthly payments will be suspended until the next quarterly report is due. Current monitoring to verify data and ensure compliance with existing federal guidelines, typically occurs from January through May. LEAs receive a unique username and password to access Fedmonitor and complete an online self-assessment. Beginning in October 2022, all LEAs were placed on a four-year monitoring cycle and were monitored in the 2021?22 fiscal year and will be monitored again in the 2024?25 fiscal year. Data collected in eGrants, PIMS and Fedmonitor is verified during these monitoring visits.
