After a review of the draft audit findings, Nodaway County shows that the original amount reported on the SEFA page was the full amount spent and should have only been the 75% (less the match amount which was paid through the Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds). For future compliance, the County Clerk has already implemented a SEFA reporting spreadsheet to better track the expenditures of federal funds.

Ineffective Grant Management Recommendation: Establish a standardized process for reviewing grant budgets against actual expenditures, with clearly defined roles and timelines. Deliver targeted training to relevant staff on grant reporting protocols and variance analysis. Implement a cross-functional review procedure prior to report submission to ensure accuracy and completeness. Action Taken: Since migrating to the new accounting software in February of 2025, CMJTS program managers have better access to reporting for their budgets. Budgets are also loaded into the system by month, and program managers are then able to track program to date expenses versus the what had been planned. Additionally, CMJTS accounting staff has moved to ‘real-time accounting’, meaning that all transactions are being recorded right away in order to flow through to program manager reports. Additionally, the CMJTS Finance Manager meets with program managers on a monthly basis to review budgets and provide additional training. These additional steps empower the program managers to take ownership of their budgets and be able to make more informed decisions on running their programs.

Cash Management - TCJFS will evaluate draws every week when a draw is available to do. Draws can be done anytime during the week but must be completed by Friday at 2:00pm. TCJFS will pull in vouchers to the CFIS system from the ledger system that TCJFS anticipates being paid by the Auditor’s Office. TCJFS will then run a cost allocation with the most current RMS numbers and then use the Over/Under Report to determine the draw amount. Draws should be taken from those allocations where expenses have hit or from an allocation where we are under-drawn. TCJFS should never have more than 10 days cash on hand at the end of a quarter.

CAP - The Tuscarawas County Metropolitan Sewer District will implement procedures to ensure that all vendors for covered transactions (including professional engineering services) that meet or exceed the $25,000 threshold, or other specified criteria, are verified for suspension or debarment status prior to contracting. This verification will be accomplished by checking SAM exclusions (https://sam.gov) and by collecting a certification from the entity. This mandatory verification step will be applied to all future federal grant projects.

Management Response: Feeding South Florida complied with LFPA contract provisions for food purchases by meeting and invoicing the required food purchase minimum. Freight was an allowable cost for the contract. Despite miscategorizing 5 freight invoices, Feeding South Florida complied with the LFPA contract for freight by meeting and invoicing the total amount allowable for freight. To ensure ongoing compliance, we established and implemented a comprehensive Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for all contracts and grants, including the LFPA program, which has been consistently followed since LFPA Plus began. To strengthen oversight and enhance audit readiness, administrative responsibility for this contract has transitioned from the Grants Department to the Finance Department. This restructuring reinforces our compliance framework, improves operational support, and embeds stronger accountability measures across all organizational levels and throughout our region.

Federal Program: Beginning Farmers and Ranchers Development Grant Assistance Listing No.: 10.311 Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Agriculture Pass-Through Entity: None Federal Award Identification Number: 2022-49400-38205 Repeat Finding: This is not a repeat finding Criteria – Management is responsible for preparing a complete and accurate Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards. Condition – During compliance testing, it was determined that the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards provided to us to begin our audit was not complete and accurate. Context – Management was unable to fully reconcile the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards to the general ledger. Cause – The information contained in the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards was not accurate. Effect – As a result of the condition, management was unable to fully reconcile the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards to the general ledger. Recommendation – In the future, management should ensure it implements appropriate processes and controls to ensure the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards contains complete and accurate data. Views of Responsible Officials – Management acknowledges the finding and will implement appropriate processes and controls to ensure the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards contains complete and accurate data. Corrective Actions Taken or Planned – MOFGA created a SEFA to capture grant funds by CFDA number during the compliance audit. Grants are spread out throughout various lines of our chart of accounts, with no quick designation in QuickBooks Online for identifying which ones are private, state or federal funds. This was done manually for each income source (and complimentary expense line), and a few corrections were identified during the audit. We have received guidance from external partners about using Customer/Job functionality or Funder functionality in QBO for tracking of federal grants. This is being evaluated to help with the accuracy and expediting of report creation directly from our accounting software. Responsible Parties – Angela Haiss, Director of Operations Anticipated Completion Date – December 31, 2025

Federal Program: Specialty Crop Block Grant Program – MPSIG IV Assistance Listing No.: 10.170 Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Agriculture Pass-Through Entity: None Federal Award Identification Number: 23SCBPME1171 Repeat Finding: This is not a repeat finding Criteria – Non-federal entities are prohibited from contracting with or making subawards under covered transactions to parties that are suspended or debarred. “Covered transactions” include contracts for goods and services awarded under a non-procurement transaction (e.g., grant or cooperative agreement) that are expected to equal or exceed $25,000 or meet certain other criteria as specified in 2 CFR section 180.220. All non-procurement transactions entered into by a pass-through entity (i.e., subawards to subrecipients), irrespective of award amount, are considered covered transactions, unless they are exempt as provided in 2 CFR section 180.215. When a non-federal entity enters into a covered transaction with an entity at a lower tier, the non-federal entity must verify that the entity, as defined in 2 CFR section 180.995 and agency adopting regulations, is not suspended or debarred or otherwise excluded from participating in the transaction. This verification may be accomplished by (1) checking the System for Award Management (SAM) Exclusions maintained by the General Services Administration (GSA) and available at SAM.gov Home (click on Search Record, then click on Advanced Search-Exclusions) (Note: The OMB guidance at 2 CFR Part 180 and agency implementing regulations still refer to the SAM Exclusions as the Excluded Parties List System (EPLS)), (2) collecting a certification from the entity, or (3) adding a clause or condition to the covered transaction with that entity (2 CFR section 180.300). Condition – During 2024, MOFGA did not perform any reviews of subrecipients to ensure they were in good standing before receiving federal funds. Questioned costs – None. Cause – MOFGA did not perform any reviews of subrecipients to ensure they were in good standing before passing through federal funds. Effect or potential effect – There is a risk that the specialty crop block grant funds a suspended or debarred subrecipient which could result in them receiving penalties or having their agreement for the grant terminated. Context – The sample of subrecipients was a statistically valid sample. Recommendation – MOFGA should put in place a policy to review subrecipients standing to ensure that all subrecipients are appropriately receiving grant funds. Corrective Actions Taken or Planned – MOFGA will put into place a process for checking the sam.gov website as part of our eligibility process for subrecipient awardees, and will also add this verification for all employees that are working on grants to ensure anyone receiving grant funds are not suspended or debarred. Responsible Parties – Angela Haiss,. Director of Operations Anticipated Completion Date – December 31, 2025

Management does not concur with the finding. The cases identified were processed in accordance with the policies, guidelines, and procedures established by the Recipient (PRDOH) and were reviewed at each stage of the grant process, including award, disbursement, and closeout. All determinations were made following the internal controls, Program Guidelines, and systems established by the Recipient. The observations noted do not represent noncompliance by the Bank but, in some cases, reflect situations inherent to the grant management systems, which are administered directly by the Recipient and its consultants.

Management concurs with the facts presented by the auditor. However, we do not agree with the conclusion that there is a lack of adequate internal controls in the area of program reports and accounting records. The Bank, as a Subrecipient, performs the closing of the CDBG-DR SBF grants and records each transaction in a system provided by the Recipient and its consultants. The Administrative and Performance Reports referenced by the auditor are automatically generated from the grant management systems provided by the Recipient. The differences reflected between the Bank’s records and these reports result from a system error under the exclusive control of the Recipient and its consultants. These differences were duly reported to the Recipient and its consultants for correction.

The audit identified that a subrecipient submitted an expense reimbursement request exceeding the incurred grant expenses through the submission date. This issue resulted from a misinterpretation by the subrecipient team regarding the correct procedures for completing the expense recording worksheet. Priorto FY 2025, existing controls over subrecipient monitoring were not effectively designed to detect this error. In 2025, BioSTL Grant Management and Finance leadership implemented a comprehensive post-award grant process, including extensive policies and procedures for subrecipient management and monitoring. Additionally, early in 2025, internal policies concerning subrecipient invoicing procedures were enhanced to require additional documentation and review for all subrecipient submissions of grant funds. These improvements have proven effective in identifying and rectifying errors prior to submission. To support these initiatives, BioSTL has conducted training sessions, reviewed implementation procedures, and held regular meetings to ensure that all BioSTL personnel and subrecipient staff fully understand the requirements and have ample opportunities for communication regarding grant draws. Furthermore, to align BioSTL Policies and Procedures, a comprehensive handbook has been developed for all virtual and on-site monitoring activities. These revised procedures mandate at least one virtual monitoring session every six months and at least one on-site monitoring session per participant throughout the grant period, with additional monitoring based on risk assessment outcomes. This schedule more closely aligns with CFR requirements and ensures oversight activities are conducted thoroughly and without lapses. On-site monitoring will be completed for all subrecipients before the end of the fiscal year, which closes on December 31, 2025.
