GDOL Response: GDOL acknowledges this is a repeated finding from previous years and is partially resolved, therefore the Department concurs with this finding and offers the following response. GDOL’s current UI Information Technology (IT) system was developed in 1982 using mainframe “legacy’ technology. Due to the system’s age and other limitations, many automated processes and corrections cannot be fixed and/or easily implemented. As such, many processes must be handled manually by staff. This includes reviewing all the Pandemic Unemployment Assistance (PUA) proof documents submitted to determine the validity and eligibility for each PUA claim. Based on the volume of workload and staff limitations, GDOL has been unable to quickly complete this manual review to correct the finding. It is anticipated this manual review will continue throughout the FY25 audit review period. The modernized UI system will include controls over eligibility determination for current and future unemployment programs. Employer-Filed Claims (EFC) are submitted by employers on behalf of the claimant. The employer is responsible for attesting to the employment status and weekly earnings of the claimant for the EFC submitted. An affidavit certifying that the employer has obtained earnings from other employment as well as other requirements must be completed before EFCs can be entered or uploaded. Claimants for which EFCs submitted are considered to be still attached to the employer and are exempt from the requirement to register for employment services per Georgia Employment Security Law Rule 300-2-4-.02. Such individuals are not required to be nor certify on a weekly basis to be able, available and actively seeking work. We recognize the state auditor's recommendations to add the self-certification. However, the current unemployment system is aged and distressed. GDOL’s limited technology resources will hinder our ability to update our current system to satisfy the state audit’s recommendation. Therefore, we acknowledge that this finding will persist until a system-wide resolution is implemented in the new modernized UI system. GDOL will include a self-certification process for employer-filed claims in the new solution. GDOL has procured a vendor to build and implement a modernized UI system. We are also pursuing data analytics tools to expedite the identification and detection of fraudulent activities. These tools will also be incorporated into the modernized solution. Summary: GDOL greatly appreciates the feedback and recommendations and will ensure they are incorporated into the new UI modernized system which is planned to be implemented in Spring 2026.

Federal Financial Report (FFR) processes are updated as follows: • Federal Financial Report responsibilities are distributed on a per grant basis to the members of the Criminal Justice Coordinating Council (CJCC) Budget Team. • Because the US DOJ Just Grants system does not allow for review or secondary viewers in the financial reporting system, the FFRs are to be saved digitally by the completing analyst/director. • FFRs will be reviewed with written certification of review by a budget team member that was not responsible for the primary submission of the report for each grant. • Any corrections will be made within the period of correction for the report to prevent a misstated report from becoming permanent record. Performance Measures Tool (PMT) processes are updated as follows: • Implemented a PMT data review and approval process that leverages Microsoft Planner to send messages to those involved and track the completion of review and approval by the manager. Prepared Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act (FFATA) reports processes are updated as follows: • FFATA Subrecipient Reporting is reviewed and approved by the Director of Grant Operations and submitted by the Grant Operations/Compliance Unit Staff to FSRS based upon the established reporting calendar.

We have prepared procedures for Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act (FFATA) reporting specifically for USDA. We shifted a current GaDOE accounting manager's job duties to include assisting the Assistant Director of Accounting with overall FFATA reporting duties. The addition of an experienced staff member to assist with FFATA data gathering, reconciling, and reporting will allow for the Assistant Director of Accounting to focus on completing the more complex FFATA Reporting for USDA in a timely manner.

Friday, April 11, 2025 Dear Sir(s): CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN In prior years the accounting of Pyramid Learning Corp. was executed externally by a contracted accounting company. During the year ended June 30, 2024 we acquired a specialized accounting software. After the acquisition of the new software, we recorded the data from the beginning of the year to the present, which required significant staff effort and made it impossible to maintain accounting and financial reports on a month-to-month basis. At the present, the data is already being recorded, and the accounting is up to dates. This allows us to keep our accounting and interim financial reports such as Balance Sheet, Statement of Activities, Bank Reconciliations, and monthly analysis of accounts, up to date and on a current month-to-month basis to be more transparent, and any errors are corrected on a timely manner.

Finding 2024-001—Significant Deficiency in Internal Controls over Compliance: Research and Development Cluster Contact Person: Jennifer Sabbagh Peirce, Senior Director Research Operations, Sponsored Programs Administration and Dr. Andrew Artenstein, Chief Physician Executive and Chief Academic Officer, Baystate Health, Inc. Views of Responsible Officials: Management agrees and acknowledges that controls over compliance and documentation of these controls should be assessed and improved. Management highlights that no unallowable charges were incurred and there was no evidence that sponsors were overcharged as a result of the identified deficiencies. Corrective Action Plan and Expected Completion Date: Policies and Procedures – Baystate has already begun a review and revision of policies and procedures that govern sponsored activity in fiscal year 2025. As policies and procedures are revised and finalized, training is provided to the research community, as necessary. This includes effort reporting, subrecipient monitoring and calculations related to salary cap and indirect cost rates. Documentation and Document Maintenance – Baystate is in the process of implementing a pre-award grants system. This electronic system will be the institutional record of all award documentation and award actions. Built into the system are a number of internal controls including workflow approval, tracking and management of award actions and modifications, and management of subrecipient monitoring activities. Salary Cap – Baystate has implemented a number of immediate solutions for salary cap including additional reports to flag salary cap issues. Guidance has been developed and training is underway for individuals that certify effort. In fiscal year 2025, Baystate will consider implementing system delivered functionality in Lawson to manage salary cap calculations. Indirect Rates and Grant Attributes – Implementation of the pre-award grants system will provide an internal control to ensure accurate setup of indirect cost rates and other grant related attributes. These attributes are maintained in the pre-award system based on the sponsor documentation. With each award action and at least annually, Baystate will reconcile attributes between the pre-award system and Lawson to ensure accuracy and completeness. The Corrective Action Plan is expected to be completed by December 2025.

Corrective Action: We recognize the importance of ensuring that expenses are incurred within the correct reporting period for grant compliance. To address this issue and prevent future occurrences, we are implementing the following corrective actions: - Adjustment of Financial Reporting: We will work with the grantor agency to secure the appropriate federal approvals for any projects that may extend past the end of our fiscal year if necessary. - Enhanced Internal Controls: Our finance team will implement stricter monitoring of expense recognition, ensuring that only incurred costs are included in grant reimbursement requests. - Vendor Coordination: Going forward, we will attempt to implement a more rigorous project timeline review process with contractors to anticipate and address potential supply chain delays before committing grant funds. We remain committed to fully complying with grant guidelines and to strengthening our financial management processes.
