In January 2024, we partnered with G&A, which provided services that automated time tracking allocations in the accounting system based on Time and Attendance records placed in the payroll system. This information applies time ratios spent on grants times actual cost from payroll and automatically comes in the accounting system based on project costing (time concerning all time spent on projects). The purchase of the grant management system will pull accounting data from the accounting software, and the data will be mapped to the budgetary lines of the grant. Monthly, the financial grant coordinator will work with senior directors and directors to go over the financial information and ensure compliance with the allowable cost to respective grants. Correctively, budget vs actual reviews with senior directors take place in which directors identify permissible costs or costs that are not, and those costs are adjusted to programs that allow such cost or to admin.

Expenditures are required to be supported by a purchase order, work order or purchase requisite, along with all receipts. These requests are reviewed by the Director of Finance and the Executive Director for approval. All expenditures are then reviewed by the Payroll Manager to ensure proper documentation has been obtained. The expenditure is then entered into our accounting software, which is then approved by the Executive Director. These processes have been implemented in 2024 to ensure segregation of duties and that all transactions and entries into our accounting software are reviewed and approved by either the Director of Finance and/or the Executive Director. Management identified these issues during the 2024 FY and has implemented new processes or procedures to strengthen our internal controls.

Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Program/Cluster: Housing Voucher Cluster Federal Assistance Listing Number: 14.871, 14.879 Pass‐through: n/a – direct award Award No. and Year: CA131, 2022/2023 Compliance Requirement: Reporting Type of Finding: Material Weakness in Internal Control over Compliance, Material Noncompliance Views of Responsible Officials and Corrective Action Plan: The County spent many months contacting multiple agencies trying to report through the FSRS system on the multiple Housing Voucher awards, with no success. The County’s assigned Housing and Urban Development (HUD) office is the San Francisco regional office. Per their director, “These are systems that we don’t work with in HUD PIH so I won’t be able to be of assistance relative to this.” The County is unable to complete FFATA reporting for reasons outside of the County’s control. Responsible Individual(s): James Bezek, Director of Resources Management Anticipated Completion Date: Because the corrective action is outside of the County’s control, we cannot determine an anticipated completion date.

Management has assessed that all supporting documentation that was unable to be provided for audit support was related to transactions that occurred on the legacy accounting system. The legacy accounting system did not allow for centralized/shared data storage, and as a result, caused personnel to store information in different locations. In May 2023, the organization made the transition to the new accounting system where data can easily be centralized/shared. Management has also implemented policies and procedures that require review of documents within the accounting system prior to approval, thus creating internal controls to prevent a lack of supporting documentation for future reporting periods.

Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions: Monthly reconciliations were not being done throughout 2023. The 2022 Audit that identified the need for such a process was not completed until February 2024. ICMEC does not prepare a consolidated financial statement or reconcile intercompany accounts. Essentially the issue is that balance sheet schedules were not maintained from month to month during the year. However, we did provide the auditors with reconciled schedules at year end. Additionally, ICMEC did not historically keep a consolidated (including the Australian affiliate) financial statement via its accounting system, so all Australia affiliate activity was added manually during the audit. Action plan: we began maintaining regular monthly balance sheet schedules for all accounts in June 2024. Furthermore, the Australian affiliate was deconsolidated as of July 6, 2023 so ICMEC no longer needs to maintain the activity of the Australian affiliate in the consolidated financial statements.

Repeat Finding from Prior Years: Yes, Finding 2022-003 Management’s Response: We concur.
