2022-004. Finding: Insufficient Controls over Review and Approval of Cash Drawdowns ? Carbondale Campus Response: Implemented. We agree we did not have a consistent procedure in place during the audit period. Corrective Action Plan: We have since addressed the weakness by establishing segregation of duties in the performance of the drawdown procedure. Also, we have implemented measures to ensure that approvals are now documented appropriately prior to processing drawdowns.

2022-002. Finding: Inadequate Procedures for Ensuring Compliance with Earmarking Requirements for the Student Support Services Program - Carbondale Campus Response: We agree and have implemented corrective actions. Ongoing changes at the university continue to impact the potential for enrollment growth of minority students, which directly impacts the success of the program. Corrective Action Plan: Realignment of support services has structured Trio programs in an area with other similar programs that serve students that meet the criteria of the program. This realignment of services is already producing positive results. We believe this upward trend will continue for the university and program. To ensure earmarking requirements are met, applications are monitored daily. Other actions that have been taken include: ? The project director has been appointed to committees that directly impact the recruitment, selection, and retention of this population of students. ? The director also participates in recruitment activities that focuses on increasing underrepresented minority populations. ? Under the newly structured unit, a retention team has been established to improve support services and mitigate challenges to enrollment and retention of the population of students. The current status of program is mentioned in tabular form in corrective action plan. The Trio currently meets earing marking requirements. The requirements will be documented in the upcoming Annual Performance Report once submitted to the US Department of Education for AY 2022-2023 (May 2023). We hope to sustain this progress as enrollment at the university continues to trend upward. Contact Person: Renada Greer (SIUC Assistant Dean & Director TRIO) Anticipated completion date: May 2, 2023

Corrective Action Plan The Union College Economic department chose to change the Classification of Instructional Programs (CIP) code to more accurately reflect the degree requirements of this particular major. The CIP code change process is typically applied at the start of a new academic year, but in this case, the College felt that it was necessary to do so immediately. The National Student Clearinghouse (NSC) was consulted to be sure that students would, in fact, graduate in the new CIP code without negative impact to their program. As a result of this late semester change, a number of Economics majors were manually corrected in the NSC and reported as graduated with the new CIP code. In the future, Union will adhere to its standard timelines and processes for curricular changes, as the ?ad-hoc? nature of such changes are difficult to manage. Upon further pressure for resolution, the NSC has now provided instructions regarding how to resolve the students reporting issues. A new file will be transmitted to the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS) in early March, once further updates are received and processed by the NSC. Union College will review the NSLDS database to confirm accurate reporting once the file has been submitted. Union College will also perform self-audits to ensure our processes are efficiently capturing enrollment changes and that the NSC and NSLDS reports agree and are accurate beginning with the March 2023 enrollment period.

View of Responsible Officials We concur with the finding. Corrective Action: Condition A The Bureau of Employment Supports has been undergoing massive programmatic changes over the past 2 to 3 years. As part of those changes, there has been an updated Work Verification Plan submitted which will help to address some areas where errors have occurred. Keeping in mind that for a period of close to 2 years, due to the COVID pandemic, NHEP was not holding participants accountable for not returning signed employment plans to NHEP staff. The focus for that time was to ensure that families were housed, fed and safe, therefore, services focused on their immediate needs. Participants who entered the NHEP program during that time were not held accountable to returning a signed employment plan therefore it did not become part of their routine with NHEP. While COVID restrictions have been lifted, participants seem to have needed some time to reintegrate into the NHEP program and the mandatory expectations. NHEP staff and leadership will continue to remind participants and become more diligent in ensuring that signed employment plans are on the forefront of their daily responsibilities. It should be noted that in a couple of instances, employment plans were created as part of a Service Determination Appointment and very quickly after the participant was deemed exempt from the Work Program (NHEP) so the employment plan was not necessary and became a moot point. A Director?s Memo will be sent out by the end of this week which will allow Employment Plans to be acknowledged and accepted by the participant in multiple ways (not just with a wet signature) thereby increasing the likelihood of participants returning accepted employment plans to NHEP staff. Making this shift will mitigate the difficulties that are causing participants to not return their signed employment plans to NHEP staff and will decrease instances where there is not an accepted employment plan on file. NHEP leadership will hold a state wide mandatory staff training where ways to prioritize the monitoring and obtainment of accepted employment plans will be outlined and discussed. Field Support Managers will continue to monitor their staff on a quarterly basis, however, will add a monthly check on having accepted employment plans to their responsibilities. Condition B Part of the changes that NHEP has implemented have included a new Activity Tracking form which has made tracking hours more efficient and easier for the participant as well as the Employment Counselor. We believe that this activity tracker as well as the decrease in mandatory forms will allow for more accuracy and fewer errors moving forward. Uploading documents into the e-folder was found to be error prone, therefore, on March 1, 2023, NHEP leadership provided guidance and training on a specific process of indexing and scanning documents to ensure that moving forward the Employment Counselors are checking their e-folder?s to ensure that documents are properly uploaded and visible. This process was initially sent out to the field as a suggestion in 9/2022, however, on 3/1/23 this process was sent out as an expected process moving forward. Also, through cursory investigations, we believe that this new process, combined with the new Activity Tracking form, has already shown to be effective in improving the accuracy of supporting and recording hours. NHEP leadership has also been working with the NEW HEIGHTS system to streamline the process of uploading documents to further decrease the potential for errors. A change request form was submitted approximately one year ago. Also during the time period of this audit, NHEP was requiring pay stubs from employed participants and completing ?overrides? of the number of work hours that a participant worked during the week if that number was different than what was auto-populating based on information obtained by and entered by eligibility. NHEP discontinued that practice. NHEP no longer requires pay stubs from participants as that is a function of eligibility. NHEP utilizes the number of hours worked per week based on the number of hours entered by eligibility. This change will ensure that employment hour errors no longer occur. In order to address issues of audit findings, within the next 90 days, NHEP leadership is holding a state wide mandatory staff training where more in-depth information on the audit process will be shared including audit ?tests?, ?questions? and ?corrective action plans?. Historically in NH, the audit process was not shared with the NHEP staff making them unaware of the expectations and/or findings of the audit. NHEP staff were trained to complete certain processes and enter particular data but were never able to connect that back to anything. While we have been introducing this process more and more to our staff, we intend to hold a training to help them more thoroughly understand why they are doing what they are doing and remind them that what they do is reviewed for accuracy as part of the federal audit process. We believe that this transparency will create buy-in from the staff to put systems in place for themselves and to self-monitor more.

View of Responsible Officials The Department partially concurs as follows: The Department?s position is that it maintains compliance with the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act (FFATA) (Pub. L. No. 109-282), as amended by Section 6202 of Public Law 110-252, hereafter referred as the ?Transparency Act? that are codified in 2 CFR Part 170, recipients (i.e., direct recipients) of grants or cooperative agreements are required to report first-tier subawards of $30,000 or more to the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act Subaward Reporting System (FSRS). The Department agrees that during the year ended June 30, 2022, not all of the tested FFATA reports were deemed complete and accurate due to internal control considerations. The Department will review current practices regarding the internal control of financial information included in the G&C PDF?s which are the basis of the FFATA reporting with the objective of accurately reporting the specific amounts of Federal Funding content by FAIN so as to facilitate the accurate and timely reporting of FFATA in accordance with the Act.

agreement. View of Responsible Officials A. We concur with this finding. The Department utilized an internally available copy of the Management Log, which lists vendor?s determinations. This is a copy of the log, not the original, official copy. There is a delay in updating this copy from the original, and incorrect information had been initially entered. The Department is moving this log to software which allows all Department employees to view the same log, while limiting the number of individuals who have access to make changes. Implementation has been completed as of March 2023. B. We concur with this finding. However, we believe this was an isolated incident as the TANF CFDA number (93.558) used was very similar to correct CFDA number (93.778) that should have been documented. C. 200.332 requirements a. We do not concur with this finding. The contract for Mt Prospect became effective 8/4/21, prior to the 4/22 inception of the UEI. The DUNS number, as in effect at that time, is noticed in Exhibit J of the contract. b. We concur with three of the four findings. Two of the four contracts pre-date the template update requiring the notice an indirect cost rate. Indirect cost rate for federal awards (including if the de minimis rate is charged per 2 CFR section 200.414) were added to Exhibit C of the Department?s contracts in April 2020. One of the contracts did not indicate an indirect cost rate as required. One of the contracts notes the indirect cost rate in the Notes of their financial details. c. One of the two contracts pre-dates the template update requiring the notice the identification of R&D. R&D identifications for federal awards were added to Exhibit C of the Department?s contracts in April 2020 One of the two contracts did not identify whether the contract was R&D as required. D. Subrecipient Risk Assessment ? We concur with the finding. We consider the finding to be fully resolved through Department policy Department policy and Department wide implementation. However, it should be noted full compliance will not be achieved for one to two contact cycles due to timing. The Department began addressing the issue of Subrecipient Monitoring issue in June 2017 when the first Grants Administrator was hired. The Department finalized the Subrecipient Monitoring Policy, which encompasses the financial and programmatic risk assessments as well as the subrecipient monitoring, on June 1, 2018. The Department provided user training on the subject in February and September 2018, training over one hundred forty-six staff. However, only brand new procurements utilized this policy during the initial roll out of this policy. The Department hired a new Grants Administrator in May 2019. The full Subrecipient Monitoring policy rolled out to all procurements, including sole source, amendments, and renewals, effective August 1, 2020. The Contracts Unit received specialized subrecipient monitoring training on May 13 and October 28, 2020. Department wide training to all staff occurred weekly between September 8 and November 3, 2020. The Grants Office provided additional targeted training to Program staff through team meetings. Over one hundred fifty Program and Finance staff received training. Annual training will be held in September each year. Refresher training or training for new staff is available upon request from the Grants Office. The Grants Office website offers Program, Finance, and Contracts Bureau staff access to the subrecipient monitoring policy, as well as training modules, slides, and tools. The training has also been recorded and is available on this site. The Subrecipient Monitoring Policy requires Program to determine whether any vendor which receives funds in exchange for goods or services is a Contractor or Subrecipient. Determined subrecipients receive a Management Questionnaire, which includes a ten question questionnaire and requirements for submitting financial data. This information is used to populate the Risk Assessment Tool, which shows any risks pertinent to a subrecipient and the subaward. Based on the risks shown, Program chooses monitoring activities to mitigate the risks and the Contracts Bureau memorializes these choices in the contract. The Grants Office continues to work closely with the Contracts Bureau to ensure compliance with the Subrecipient Monitoring policy. C. and D. It is also important to note that between April 2020 and June 2022 the Department was involved in the State?s strategic response to the COVID-19 pandemic. During this time, New Hampshire was under a state of emergency (Executive Order 2020-04), processes were rapidly converted to fully digital overnight, the State?s standard approval processes were suspended and non-standard templates, which did not include the required notifications under 200.332, were utilized to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Department worked with other State Departments and the National Guard to create a record number of amendments, contracts, and other agreements (approximately 200% more than standard). The Department is in the process of instituting a new contract life cycle management solution that will utilize conditional logic to include the required notifications for agreements involving federal funds in order to ensure compliance. Implementation is anticipated to be complete in July 2023. As the COVID-19 pandemic strategic response has wound down, the Department has not suspended its regular standard approval or subrecipient risk assessment and monitoring processes and has not used non-standard templates to award federal funding. E. We concur there was no formal documentation of any monitoring activity. Due to staff turnover a new administrator has been hired and unable to furnish the monitoring that took place during FY22. However, a program site review during FY23 was performed and financial monitoring of invoices has also taken place. Anticipated Completion Date: July, 2023 Contact Person: Melissa Kelleher, Administrator Rejoinder As documented above in Bullet B of the condition found, the Department did not properly communicate all required award information to the subrecipient. Once aware of the noncompliance, the Department should have timely communicated this information to its subrecipients.

Finding Reference Number: 2022-001 Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Labor Program Name: WIOA Cluster Assistance Listing Number: 17.258, 17.259, 17.278 Responsible Official: Patricia Rogers, Executive Director Views of Responsible Individuals: Based on the discussion we had with you regarding COPIC audit draft report, we have a plan of action moving forward to ensure these issues do not continue: ? COPIC (Josh) and Schmidt Associates (Mary) will work together to do monthly reconciliation of the tracker to the general ledger and staff billing reports. ? The spreadsheet you provided will be used as the reconciliation "tool" and will be available for your review when performing the audit. ? This will provide a monthly, program status of revenue versus expenditures as backup to the CPR submitted to the CWDB. ? The accrued vacation will be subtracted out each month as a line item on the staff billing invoice and a line will be added showing the amount transferred between the leave account and the regular checking account. This should clarify and resolve duplication of accrued vacation expenses. ? The workers compensation for work experience participants has been added back to the tracker and will only be recorded when premiums are paid. ? A line item has been added to the staff billing invoice to show the amount of employee health insurance being deducted from the employee checks each month. To clarify the amount paid by COPIC and the amount paid by the employee. ? The monthly reconciliation to be conducted, using the spreadsheet you provided, should eliminate audit adjustments and ensure the Payment Tracker, the General Ledger and the CPR match each month.
