The City of Boston?s Mayor?s Office of Emergency Management (OEM) will add an event to the departmental annual calendar on the first business day of the month of May of every year indicating that pre-risk assessment forms for the upcoming fiscal year beginning on July 1st are to be sent out to subrecipients of federal funds. The addition of this even to the calendar will ensure that all appropriate Admin and Finance staff at OEM are aware of this annual requirement and follow up with subrecipients to receive completed pre-risk assessments in advance of the new fiscal year. OEM?s Director of Admin and Finance will be the primary point of contact for pre-risk assessment-related inquiries from subrecipients, with the Assistant Deputy Chief of Administration serving as a backup point of contact. An event will also be added on the final business day of May each year to ensure that OEM staffs follow up with subrecipients that were not responsive to the initial request. OEM will also institute a policy of requiring a written response following receipt of a SEFA letter from OEM detailing the previous fiscal year?s expenditures on behalf of a subrecipient. This written response will contain confirmation that the subrecipients have recorded the same expenditures in their accounting systems as OEM reported in the SEFA letter. Should there be any discrepancy between the information provided in the SEFA from OEM and the expenditures reported by the subrecipient, OEM will schedule a meeting to reconcile any differences and resolve discrepancies within 30 days of being notified of said discrepancies. The Director of Admin and Finance and the Assistant Deputy Chief of Administration will represent OEM in this meeting with the appropriate staff from the subrecipient reporting a discrepancy. Confirmation of resolution of any discrepancies will be documented in writing and attached to SEFA letters for record keeping purposes.

Finding 2022-002 AL No. 21.027 COVID-19 Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds Federal Agency U.S. Department of Treasury Pass-through Agency Not applicable Award Number / Year 1505-0271 Department McHenry County Department of Finance Criteria: The Uniform Guidance require that prior to entering into subawards and contracts with award funds, recipients must verify that such contractors and sub recipients are not suspended, debarred or otherwise excluded pursuant to 31 CFR section 19.300. Condition/Context: During testing, it was noted that the County did not perform this search for two of the four vendors tested. The sample was not statistically valid. Cause: The County did not have procedures in place to perform this search. Questioned Costs: None noted. Effect: The County could do business with a vendor who is suspended or barred. Recommendation: We recommend the County incorporate this search procedure into its procurement policy. Management's Response: Management has reviewed the finding and agrees with the Auditor's notes. The quarterly report to the US Treasury is prepared by our ARPA consultant. As part of the reporting requirements, they do confirm vendors and verify UEIs at SAM.gov but we agree that this process needs to be better defined and documented for all federal awards. Corrective Action Plan: All vendors that will be paid using awarded federal funds will be verified on SAM.gov by the County's Procurement Department before a contract is executed. All verification documents will be added as attachments to the vendor record in the County's financial software. Any exclusions reported at SAM.gov will be reported back to the Finance Department for action before the contract is signed.

Corrective action plan: FDCM/OI investigators will review PIRTS reports on a regularly scheduled basis to ensure that Boards are uploading all required documentation related to childcare improper payments and taking collection efforts.

Corrective action plan: In December 2022, the Federal Funds Office (FFO) identified all prime awards with a potential subaward action date of 10/1/2021 or later. FFO is in the process of determining which of these have issued subawards for which no Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act (FFATA) reporting has been received from the program areas. In addition, FFO has revised the subaward reporting templates for programs. The goal of the revised templates is to 1) clearly state instructions for the information requested and 2) delineate between a) earlier subawards that are being reported late and b) subawards that fall into the current reporting period. These changes will assist FFO in maintaining current reporting and bringing all past due reporting up to date. The goal is to have all past due subawards from 10/1/2021 forward submitted to FFATA Subaward Reporting System (FSRS) by 12/31/2023.
