Views of Responsible Official: Current management indicated that the former Executive Director of HHA, former Finance Director of HHA, and a former employee were employed by HHA, and the former Executive Director and Finance Director controlled all aspects of HHA?s management and finances during the relevant audited period. The former Executive Director?s employment with HHA was terminated on October 10, 2022. The former Finance Director?s employment with HHA was terminated on October 20, 2022. The third employee?s employment with HHA was terminated on October 11, 2022. Additionally, all but two of the Board of Directors who served during the period in which the irregularities occurred have been replaced. HHA appointed the current Executive Director, Crystal Harrison (?Executive Director?), on October 10, 2022, as Interim Executive Director and promoted her to the position of Executive Director on October 26, 2022. The current Executive Director has diligently searched for all documents and records for all purchases, expenses, and cash distributions at issue during the former Executive Director?s tenure as Executive Director. However, no such documents or records were located on site at HHA?s offices or on HHA?s computers or devices. In early April 2023, HHA?s attorney served the former Executive Director, former Finance Director, and former employee with a demand to produce the missing documents and records but each responded that they had no such documents or records in their possession. Unfortunately, because of the actions of the former Executive Director, Finance Director, and employee, HHA lacks sufficient operating funds to pursue a civil suit to recover the losses caused by these former employees. Further, HHA?s errors and omissions insurance policy only covers third-party claims. As such, HHA has directed its attorney to take all appropriate action to pursue criminal charges of grand theft/embezzlement and fraud against these former employees upon completion of the audit. HHA?s attorney has already reached out to law enforcement to begin this process. Once the formal criminal complaint is filed, law enforcement will be empowered to subpoena the missing documents and records (should said documents and records still exist) from the former employees, as well as their banking and financial records (including tax returns) to track the suspicious expenses and cash distributions at issue. The current Executive Director, with the full support of HHA?s Board, is committed to taking all action necessary to ensure compliance with the rules and procedures already in place regarding expenses and cash distributions, as well as to enact new enhanced procedures for periodic reviews of these procedures to timely detect deficiencies and ensure compliance going forward. In addition, the current Executive Director will implement a process to ensure that backup records are maintained electronically as well as in a paper form.

A. Perform regular backup restoration tests i. The District is planning to complete a backup restoration by the end of Q1 2023. B. Improve server and network security i. The District has completed reviewing the changes needed to address the identified critical vulnerabilities. The vulnerability patch will be applied by the end of the 2022 calendar year. ii. The District completed the high vulnerability patch on November 10, 2022. iii. The District completed the critical patch updates outside of the identified 30 calendar day window due to minimizing substantial business impact. The patching periods fell under the critical business time period. Verbal approval was provided but the District will strictly follow procedure to obtain written authorization from the VC/CIO for delaying the patching. C. Perform timely access revocation and system access review i. The District has undergone a comprehensive discovery of our current environments and scoped out opportunities to optimize the deprovisioning synchronization. This scope has been incorporated into a public solicitation which completed early Fall 2022. Currently, the District awaits board authorization on issuing a professional services contract to begin the effort. The target is to initialize a project in January to automate deprovisioning synchronization of employees across the multiple EPR systems. Meanwhile, regular access reviews of SAP and SIS will be a separate process that will be regularly conducted. The target completion is early Q2 2023. D. Strengthen password controls ? optimize account lockout configuration in SAP Database i. The SAP Database accounts identified are system accounts that are not used for any type of interactive login. The password policy has been applied to interactive login accounts only thus these accounts were not included. The District is currently exploring the feasibility of applying these policies to the system accounts without impact to downstream automated processes. E. Establish and document approval of IT policies and procedures i. The LACCD Office of Information Technology Information Security Team has completed the initial draft of the Operational Protocol for Portable Media, which is currently under review. The OIT anticipates implementation will be completed by March 31, 2023. ii. An Operational Protocol for Risk Acceptance of SIS Permissions requires finalizing a formal Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) model for SIS. This process was delayed due to leadership changes in the Office of Educational Programs and Institutional Effectiveness (EPIE), the main process stakeholder, that occurred during the audit year. The OIT anticipates that the RBAC will be finalized and a Risk Acceptance Process for SIS permissions will be finalized and implemented by June 30, 2023.

Finding 2022-04 ? Fiscal Management System (Material Weakness) Criteria: CFR Part 200.302.b Auditee Responsibilities includes the requirement that the financial management system of each non-Federal entity provide the following. Identification, in its accounts, of all Federal awards received and expended and the Federal programs under which they were received. Accurate, current, and complete disclosure of the financial results of each Federal award or program. Condition: During the audit of Umpqua Public Transportation District for Fiscal Year 2021-2022, the district provided auditor with Separate and Identifiable General Ledger reports that showed a clear division between Federal, State and Local expenditures and revenues. However, the separation was done retroactivity and was not been completed for the entire fiscal year or life of grants. This deficiency was instrumental in causing the general ledger to be inadequate for financial and Federal Award Reporting. Cause: The District had originally relied on unskilled individuals for structuring and recording activities in their general ledger. District management did not have sufficient staff or monitoring policies to recognize and correct the deficiency. While trained staff have been hired at Umpqua Public Transportation District, and improvements made to the general ledger and recording of Federal grants, improvements are still necessary to meet the full requirements of CFR Part 200.302.b Auditee Responsibilities. Effect or Potential Effect: Potential for incorrect financial reporting, and untimely results, with the inability to rely on the general ledger for correct and timely information. Questioned Cost: No Context: While federal grant revenues and expenditures are now tracked using the general ledger ?jobs? indicators, additional recording is needed to track the matching portions of the costs and revenues of those federal grants. The lack of completed effort at separating revenues or expenditures by grant may lead to errors in reporting expenditures for Federal Awards. Repeat of a Prior-Year Finding: Yes, Findings and Questioned Costs 2021-11 Recommendation: We recommend that Umpqua Public Transportation District improve their general ledger structure to meet the requirement for separate accounts for Federal awards for program revenues and program expenditures. We also recommend that the district establish policies and procedures to ensure that all program revenues and expenditures are reported in the correct fiscal year. In addition, we recommend that the district establish a training program and policies and procedures for staff and management to receive appropriate training for administering and recording Federal Grant revenues and expenditures. District's Response: The District concurs with the recommendation. General ledger accounts separating Federal, State, and Local revenues and related expenditures will be designed and implemented. Corrective Action Plan: The District has hired a Finance Manager to oversee the day-to-day financial operations of the district. The Finance Manager has developed an accounting system for separating Federal, State, and Local revenues and related expenditures. This will allow the activities of the district to be recorded in a manner that allows for reporting in compliance with federal requirements.

Finding 2022-02 ? Fiscal Management System, Ensure Compliance with Federal Regulations Over Accounting Systems (Material Weakness) Criteria: Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting. Internal controls should allow management or employees in the normal course of performing their assigned functions to prevent or detect material misstatements in the financial reporting of all district funds. The Internal Control ? Integrated Framework, published by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) and the U.S. Government Accountability Office Standards for Internal Control in the Federal Government specify that a satisfactory control environment is only effective when there are adequate control activities in place. Effective control activities dictate that a review is performed to verify the accuracy and completeness of financial information reported. The Federal Grant Activity Schedule captures amounts that must be accurate and complete in order to ensure the accuracy of the financial and federal information reported on such schedule to verify the accuracy and completeness of financial information reported. CFR Part 200.302.b Auditee Responsibilities includes the requirement that the financial management system of each non-Federal entity provide the following. Identification, in its accounts, of all Federal awards received and expended and the Federal programs under which they were received. Accurate, current, and complete disclosure of the financial results of each Federal award or program. Condition: During the audit of Umpqua Public Transportation District for Fiscal Year 2021-2022, the district provided auditor with Separate and Identifiable General Ledger reports using QuickBooks Jobs feature, that showed identification between individual grant expenditures and revenues. Entries were prepared or recorded using the jobs feature, but not on a timely basis throughout the year, as portions were completed retroactively, and general ledger restated for the entire fiscal year. This deficiency was instrumental in causing the general ledger to be inadequate for financial and Federal Award Reporting for a large portion of the year. Cause: The District had relied on inadequately trained individuals to record activities and setup of their general ledger. The accounting records were retroactively constructed to meet Federal award reporting purposes, but late in the fiscal year. District management did not have sufficient training or monitoring policies to recognize and correct the deficiency. Effect or Potential Effect: Failure to record transactions timely into the general ledger for Umpqua Public Transportation District, and lack of proper accounting structure separating revenues and expenditures into each Federal and State or Local grant may result in transactions not being properly included in the district?s financial statements. The potential for incorrect financial reporting, and untimely results, with the inability to rely on the general ledger for correct and timely information, may also cause misstatement of financial statements, and inappropriate reporting of federal awards. Questioned Cost: No Context: Restatement of the general ledger was necessary for proper reporting of grants for the Schedule of Federal Awards. Tracking of matching local and state grants remains ineffective. Repeat of a Prior-Year Finding: Yes, Financial Statement Findings 2021-4 Recommendation: We recommend that Umpqua Public Transportation District improve their general ledger structure to meet the requirement for separate accounts for Federal awards for program revenues and program expenditures. In addition, we recommend that the district establish policies and procedures to ensure that all required matching of grant expenditures be recorded in sufficient detail tracking to ensure that all matching program revenues and expenditures are reported correctly in the fiscal year. We also recommend that the district continue training program, policies and procedures for staff and management for administering and recording Federal Grant revenues and expenditures. District's Response: The District concurs with the recommendation. General ledger accounts separating Federal, State, and Local revenues and related expenditures will be adhered to and further training implemented. Corrective Action Plan: The District hired a Finance Manager to oversee the day-to-day financial operations of the district. The Finance Manager retroactively created accounting records to separate grant revenues and related expenditures, for both Federal grant records as well as State grant records. The Finance Manager will improve the general ledger to allow the recording of the matching identification for each federal grant. This will allow the activities of the district to be recorded in a manner that allows for reporting in compliance with federal requirements.

Most recently, the COD reporting requirements were reviewed in the monthly Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships management meeting, inclusive of managers within each unit of the office and IT. The student records outside of the normal parameters identified challenges within our current SIS system and staffing limitations. The student information system in place is aging and lacks flexible controls. The Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships is migrating to a new student information system (Oracle SFP) for the 2024-25 academic year. We are reengineering our disbursement process to maximize the enhanced controls and automation within Oracle SFP to ensure compliance with disbursement and federal reporting timeframes. Until a more robust system is in place, management will develop exception reports to identify discrepancies in FAME versus COD disbursement dates beginning with the 2023 summer term. Exception reports will be reviewed bi-weekly to ensure compliance with the required reporting timeline. Additionally, management continues to request additional full-time professional staff to support the administration of federal student aid and ensure regulatory compliance in all areas as federal, state and institutional aid programs continue to expand and evolve.

The Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships staffing levels have not sufficiently adjusted as student aid programs grow in size and complexity. Management is in the process of hiring additional staff and will continue to request additional full-time staff in our annual budget proposals. As additional federal and state financial aid programs are developed, there are simply not enough staff to complete all work required each week. Beginning fiscal year 2024, R2T4 reports will be reviewed in weekly team meetings and prioritized for processing to ensure compliance with regulatory timeframes. Long-term, the Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships is migrating to a new student information system (Oracle SFP) for the 2024-25 academic year. Enhanced controls and automation within Oracle SFP will ensure compliance with Return of Title IV Funds regulatory timeframes. The new student information system will increase efficiency and effectiveness by eliminating previous manual processes. Campus 2 As of October 2022, all disbursements are reported immediately, rather than the previous weekly cadence. Weekly review procedures are, and will be, a continued process to identify discrepancies and reconcile within 30 days. As an effort to address staff changes and the change in disbursement reporting, additional training was provided to staff in October of 2022. For inquiries regarding this finding, please contact Rebecca Sanchez at (949) 824-8262 and Trina Wilson at (530) 752-9278 who are responsible for the corrective action.

Currently, no scholarship expenditures have been incurred in fiscal year 2023 from HEERF institutional funds, and a final review of expenditures made from HEERF institutional funds will be completed by the end of fiscal year 2023. Campus 2 The affected campus acknowledges and agrees with the finding. The campus will develop and implement a formal review of the eligibility analysis that includes upfront documentation of the calculation of amounts to be charged on the award. In 2022, the $1,345,330 real estate revenue loss transaction was reversed, triggering the necessary refund in the draw system, to be performed consistent with institutional policy and procedure for refunds to federal sponsors. In January 2023, the HEERF quarterly reporting was updated to reflect this, posted to the campus HEERF Reporting website, and emailed to the Department of Education. Separately, campus immediately worked to determine if the funds could be used for other allowable purposes. As of February 2023, all of the amount previously returned has been re-purposed, fully documented to ensure allowable use of HEERF institutional funding including CFO review and approval, and re-drawn in the federal draw system. In regards to the fringe benefit rate that was not supported, by June 2023, the campus will work with the affected department and the campus recharge rate review committee to document the fringe rate calculation and approval to substantiate allowable costs included on the award. For inquiries regarding this finding, please contact Bobbi McCracken at (951) 827-3303 and Nickolaus Lekovish (858) 534-0660 who are responsible for the corrective action.

Since 50% was allocated as student emergency grants, expenditures were reported under the student emergency grants section (84.425E) incorrectly. Per recommendations, the University will amend the June 30, 2022, report and will ensure that these expenditures are not reported under section 84.425E of future HEERF quarterly and annual reports. This amendment will be processed no later than March 15, 2023. Additionally, campus will review all previous reports and amend as necessary with a target completion date in April 2023.
