The issue noted primarily reflects isolated lapses in documentation and oversight during a period of staff transition. Since that time, management has reinforced internal controls over both payroll and non-personnel expenditures to ensure that allocations are properly documented, reviewed, and approved before posting. In addition, all staff involved in charging costs to federal grants are being retrained on documentation standards and cost allocation procedures. The two OTPS invoices cited by the auditors were for overhead costs (payroll processing fees and general liability insurance) that are allocated based on allocation percentages and typically do not go through a separate approval process. The Agency is reinforcing supervisory review to ensure journal entries are created and approved by separate individuals and the accounting system was updated to prevent all staff members (without exception) from initiating and approving entries.

Recommendation: We recommend that the City review and update internal controls over the completion and submission of monthly program reports to ensure the accuracy of the information being reported and to ensure that supporting underlying documentation is properly retained. As part of this process, the City should consider utilizing members of the Finance Department as the monthly reports contain certain financial information.

In addition, RBHA and Finance are coordinating to revise the City’s account structure for Housing-related expenses. Better aligning the City’s account setup with VMS reporting requirements will help ensure that VMS submissions are adequately supported and tie cleanly to the City’s General Ledger.

The Cooperative submitted the reimbursement request to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for equipment costs based on a conservative (less cost) approach using actual mileage costs. The hourly data submitted to FEMA was identified as not used for the reimbursement request. This information was only provided to demonstrate that the mileage-based cost was less than the hourly calculation. The hourly reimbursement data was a draft and it was indicated that the costs for aerial/digger equipment units were not included. FEMA opted to change the request to use the hourly calculation just prior to the submission deadline leaving no time for further discussion or analysis. A fully completed hourly based cost reimbursement request would have resulted in a higher requested amount and the hourly variance identified would have been negligible. Any future submissions will be based on the hourly approach and will be thoroughly reviewed.

Supervisors must review and approve all time sheets prior to submission.

The Cal OES Recovery Financial Administration Branch (FAB), which oversees Public Assistance funds, has revised its existing FFATA reporting procedures and has taken several actions to strengthen internal controls, resolve discrepancies among reporting systems, and ensure staff are fully trained to maintain compliance with all FFATA reporting requirements. In March of 2025, the Cal OES FAB developed the FAB FFATA SOP (attachment #2) for FFATA reporting which outlines steps for collecting subrecipient data, preparing reports, and submitting reports within the required time frames. In addition, the Cal OES FAB enhanced their existing FFATA reporting procedures using Salesforce to provide accurate data reports for federally funded grant projects. These reports are then used to ensure accurate reporting and timely updates to existing FFATA records. Furthermore, in July of 2025, Cal OES FAB was provided a comprehensive FFATA training course to ensure staff understand the process and reporting requirements for FFATA.
