Department: Health and Human Services Title: Internal control over the CCDF Cluster eligibility determination process needs improvement Questioned Costs: None Status: Management?s opinion is that corrective action is not required Corrective Action: DHHS believes the current internal controls that are in place provide reasonable assurance that DHHS is managing the funds in compliance with all regulations. Reasons include; ? The ongoing quality assurance process is one of the major controls in place. In 2019, the OCFS Quality Assurance (QA) team, separate from the Child Care Subsidy Program (CCSP) team, comprised of 10 staff, began conducting 23 CCSP case reviews per month. This is systematic monitoring. QA uses the initial documentation submitted by the parent (applications, proof of income, etc.) and checks it against the information in the MACWIS system to ensure eligibility is calculated correctly and data was entered accurately. ? A summary of findings from the QA check is provided to CCSP management each month. CCSP management documents the needed remediation plan, with the Financial Resource Specialist (FRS) making the necessary corrections as soon as possible. Additionally, CCSP management conducts internal periodic audits of files and evaluates deficiencies. ? Information Technology Controls minimizes potential errors by utilizing pre-defined drop-down menus of approved entries. Several fields limit the number of characters allowed to be entered or only allow numeric entries. ? The Information Technology system provides an enhanced internal control that provides visual cues to enter dollar amounts. Users receive an error message if data is entered incorrectly. ? The Financial Resource Specialist Staff Manual provides detailed, step-by-step instructions of the process for entering information into the Information Technology system to ensure accuracy and consistency of data entry. Staff are trained using this manual and are provided ongoing access to the manual. Staff undergo regular training on the eligibility determination process. DHHS believes the process and technical solutions in place are a reasonable attempt to assure proper eligibility determination for CCSP funding.

Department: Health and Human Services Title: Internal control over TANF subrecipient risk evaluation procedures needs improvement Questioned Costs: None Status: Management?s opinion is that corrective action is not required Corrective Action: The Department disagrees with the finding. The Department has subrecipient monitoring procedures for all of its subrecipients whether they were competitively bid or not. The first assessment of risk, as noted in the finding, is when a subaward is competitively bid. Secondly, another risk assessment built into the Maine Uniform Accounting and Auditing Practices for Community Agencies (MAAP) in which requires higher risk subrecipients to undergo a higher level of testing. Additionally, there are audit and review requirements at a much lower threshold than that of the Uniform Guidance (UG). Finally, the Social Service Unit of the Division of Audit performs a risk assessment and tests transactions for those subrecipients that have been determined to be higher risk. The Department's subrecipient monitoring procedures ensures that we comply with the UG 200.332(d) Pass-through entity (PTE) monitoring of the subrecipient must include: 1) Review of financial and performance reports. 2) Following-up and ensuring that subrecipients take timely and appropriate action on all deficiencies. 3) Issues management decisions. 4) PTE is responsible for resolving audit findings specifically related to the subaward. Based on the Department's MAAP rules we ensure we comply with UG 200.332(e) Depending on the PTE's assessment of risk, the following tools may be useful: 1) Training and technical assistance. 2) On-site reviews. 3) Arranging for agreed upon procedures. The Department covers #3 by ensuring that all of our subrecipients have a requirement to submit to the Department a/an Audit, Review or Schedule of Expenditures of Department Awards (SEDA).

Department: Health and Human Services Title: Internal control over ELC program suspension and debarment needs improvement Questioned Costs: None Status: Management?s opinion is that corrective action is not required Corrective Action: The Department disagrees with this finding. The Uniform Guidance part 200.214 identifies that non-Federal entities are subject to the non-procurement debarment and suspension regulations in 2 CFR part 180. 2 CFR part 180 requires that ?when you enter into a covered transaction with another person at the next lower tier, you must verify that the person with whom you intend to do business is not excluded or disqualified. You do this by: (a) Checking SAM Exclusions; or (b) Collecting a certification from that person; or (c) Adding a clause or condition to the covered transaction with that person.? The Department meets this requirement as part of the contracting process by collecting certifications from the Community Agencies stating that they are not suspended or debarred. Therefore, we are in compliance with the Federal requirements for Suspension and debarment. The intent of the Department?s policy to utilize the System for Award Management Exclusions (SAM) is to be an optional and additional assurance to the required collection of certifications that the next lower tier persons are not suspended or debarred. The SAM is utilized as time and resources permit and is not intended to replace the certifications.

FINDING 2022-006 Contact Person Responsible for Corrective Action: Schauna Relue Contact Phone Number: 260-665-2854 Views of Responsible Official: We concur with the finding. Description of Corrective Action Plan: The ESSER reports requested by IDOE will follow the same procedures of all FER reports. The ?data collection? for the ESSER grants was not identified as a financial report, and thus did not follow these processes. Now that we know this is a financial report, the steps below will be followed. The grant was initially not set up correctly and expenses were expended to and then transferred to the correct accounts once the grants were set up correctly. These changes were in flux when the report was requested, so what was reported at the time of the report is no longer what is reflected in grants? ledgers. The corrective action will require that the program director gathers the initial data, the data will be reviewed by the administrative assistant to the grants? director, and then reviewed by the Treasurer. All three employees will sign/initial a printed copy of the report before it is submitted. Data regarding students served by programs and staff reports will be reviewed by the program director and the data specialist and signed off on by both parties to ensure accuracy. Anticipated Completion Date: Effective Immediately; Completion will occur when the next report is requested.
