Reference Number: 2022-010 Prior Year Finding: No Federal Agency: U.S. Department of the Treasury State Department Name: Office of the Governor Federal Program: COVID-19 ? Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds Assistance Listing Number: 21.027 Award Number and Year: SLFRP0139 (3/3/2021 ? 12/31/2024) SLFRP2629 (3/3/2021 ? 12/31/2024) Compliance Requirement: Reporting Type of Finding: Material Weakness in Internal Control Over Compliance, Material Noncompliance Recommendation: The Office should enhance its procedures and internal controls regarding preparation of the Project and Expenditure Reports to ensure that information reported is accurate and agrees to supporting documentation. We further recommend that the Office work with State agencies which incur costs under the program to develop procedures and controls to ensure that they provide accurate information to the Office on a timely basis to facilitate timely and accurate project reporting. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding but here is our explanation. The American Rescue Plan State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds are awarded in advance to our subrecipients based on language in each subrecipient agreement. Within United States Treasury?s reporting portal, we are required to report subawards for each subrecipient and related expenditures and programmatic details. We made the decision to report subrecipient activity for each subaward based on the quarterly data provided to our team. For instance, a subrecipient awarded $50,000 with quarterly expenditures of $10,000 were reported as expending $10,000 on the quarterly UST Project and Expenditure report. This decision was made because it most accurately accounted for the status of a project and the utilization of the funding. This approach resulted in a discrepancy between the expenses in FSF and the UST reporting. Based on guidance from CLA, coming out of the single audit, our team will be reporting the subrecipient activity as the amount paid to each, not based on the expenses of their subaward. A subrecipient awarded and paid $50,000 will be reported as an expenditure of $50,000. We will continue to track and capture subrecipient utilization of the funding through compliance monitoring and quarterly updates. The previously reported amounts in U.S. Treasury?s system will be adjusted for the quarter ending March 31, 2023. This action will resolve CLA?s reporting finding. CLA will test the 3/31/23 and 6/30/23 reports during next year?s single audit to ensure the finding was corrected.

FINDING 2022-001 Contact Person Responsible for Corrective Action: Linda Moeller Contact Phone Number: 812-948-5333 Views of Responsible Official: Concur With Finding Description of Corrective Action Plan: The City does not dispute the finding regarding suspension and disbarment as stated in the audit. This is, unfortunately, a carryover from the 2021 audit which was not finalized and published till November 22, 2022. The city was aware during the finalization of the 2021 audit and discussed with auditors that this would be a problem for 2022 due to the timing of notification of the issue and the City?s inability to implement a corrective action for matters that occurred prior to November 22, 2022. The process for verification of suspension and disbarment was completed in late 2022/early 2023. Staff verifies prior to any recipient receiving funds that they are not federally suspended or disbarred from doing business at the federal level. A review of all recipients for 2022 confirmed that none of them had any issues with the federal suspension and disbarment requirement verification. The City rejects the classification of ?systemic? issues with SLRF funding and application of processes, but acknowledged the previous issues regarding suspension/disbarment as the only audited issue. As stated previously, the City implemented a process upon awareness of the finding and continues to follow it. A designated staff person verifies that any recipient of funds is not subject to suspension and/or disbarment for business at the federal level prior to any funding.

Finding 4: Policy for Indirect Costs and Monitoring of that Policy (2022- 04) 4.1 Action Plan To address the identified issues regarding the policy for indirect costs and monitoring of that policy, the organization will take the following steps: ? Formalization of Policy: Develop and formalize a policy to consistently charge a de minimis rate of 10% for indirect costs on all federal programs. This policy will replace the previous practice of determining indirect costs on a case-by-case or grant-by-grant basis. ? Documentation of Base Rate: Document the base rate for modi?ed total direct costs to establish a clear and consistent basis for calculating the 10% de minimis rate. ? Monitoring and Compliance: Implement procedures for monitoring compliance with the new policy, including regular reviews to ensure that the 10% rate is being applied consistently across all federal programs. 4.2 Responsible Personnel The newly hired Grants Manager, along with the executive management team, will be responsible for ensuring compliance with the new policy. Their responsibilities will include overseeing the implementation of the policy and monitoring its adherence across all relevant programs. 4.3 Resources and Tools Page 45 The organization will leverage its existing resources, including the custom-built grant management solution and QuickBooks Online, to facilitate the implementation and monitoring of the new policy. 4.4 Implementa3on Timeline The organization plans to implement the new policy immediately, applying the 10% de minimis rate to all new grants moving forward without delay. 4.5 Training and Support The organization will provide necessary training and support to the Grants Manager and other relevant personnel to ensure a smooth transition to the new policy protocols. This will include training on the calculation and application of the 10% de minimis rate. 4.6 Monitoring and Evalua3on A monitoring and evaluation mechanism will be established to assess the e?ectiveness of the new policy. This will involve regular reviews to ensure consistent application of the 10% rate and compliance with federal requirements, thereby preventing the charging of potentially unallowable costs to federal programs.

The Kelso School District agrees with the auditor?s finding that more frequent monitoring of wage and payroll certifications is necessary to conform to Davis-Bacon Act. We realize that our reliance on the State of Washington?s Labor and Industries prevailing wage and payroll certifications site (where wage and certification data is submitted and stored) will require weekly review of submitted contractor payrolls and certifications. As we move forward into two additional construction projects utilizing federal funds, we will ensure our project management team provides weekly oversight of contractor compliance, collects weekly certifications and payrolls, and provides Kelso School District with required documentation.

The project cited for a lack of Davis-Bacon monitoring began the close-out process just as the audit was being finalized in June 2023 and per the OCD policy, the final reimbursement to the developer is being held until complete Davis Bacon records are submitted, reviewed, and approved. To implement best practices moving forward, the OCD is reviewing the policies and procedures and identifying ways to improve the collection and review of Davis-Bacon compliance.

In this instance, we were buying relatively small tracts of land from our local pizza shop owner, a private individual, and we did not realize that the same rules applied. We have since ascertained that this individual is in fact not debarred. Going forward, Finance will ensure all expenditures of this nature document that the vendors are not debarred individuals.

Finding No: 2022-003 Activities Allowed or Unallowed/Allowable Costs Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Transportation Assistance Listing Number: 20.205 Pass-through Entity: Alabama Department of Transportation Pass-through Award Number: #2283(OX-002283-000) Program: Highway Planning and Construction Cluster Award Year: August 4, 2021 through January 13, 2024 (a) Criteria or Requirement Per 2 CFR 200.303, the non-Federal entity must establish and maintain effective internal control over the Federal award that provides reasonable assurance that the non-Federal entity is managing the Federal award in compliance with Federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of the Federal award. (b) Condition Found, Including Perspective During our test work over the Highway Planning and Construction program, we selected a sample of 50 disbursements made during the fiscal year. For one of the 50 disbursements sampled, we noted that the expenditure was approved for payment based on an inaccurate calculation on the underlying vendor invoice. (c) Possible Cause The University has a management review process to review invoices and related documentation before payments are disbursed. The management review control that was in place did not operate effectively to prevent inaccurate amounts from being submitted for reimbursement by the federal agency. (d) Questioned Cost None reportable. (e) Effect Federal funds were expended for inaccurate amounts. (f) Statistical Validity The sample was not intended to be, and was not, a statistically valid sample. (g) Repeat Finding in the Prior Year Not a repeat finding. (h) Recommendation We recommend that the University strengthen controls over the management review process to prevent inaccurate amounts from being charged to the Federal programs. (i) View of Responsible Officials Management concurs with the finding. While we have an adequate process in place, those responsible for steps of the review process need to be reminded of the importance of completing adequate reviews. (j) Corrective Action Plan An email will be sent to the Research Operations Council that reminds administrators, who are responsible for processing invoices, to confirm invoice calculations prior to processing for payment. Research administrators will also be re-trained at the next Research Operations Council meeting on the importance of thoroughly reviewing invoices received for payment. Inaccurate expenditures will be removed. (k) Anticipated Completion Date Email reminder of proper invoice review protocol sent November 11, 2022. Inaccurate expenditures will be removed from project by December 1, 2022. In-person reminder of process will be discussed at next in-person ROC meeting which is currently scheduled for December 1, 2022.
