Procurement Finding 2025-003 Federal Agency Name: Department of Housing and Urban Development Pass‐Through Entity: Radias Health Assistance Listing Number: 14.267 Program Name: Continuum of Care Finding Summary: Catholic Charities did not have adequate internal controls in place to ensure that the processes laid out in their procurement policy regarding the process of obtaining quotes to support procurement and testing vendors for suspension and debarment were followed. Corrective Action Plan: Catholic Charities is enhancing procurement oversight and compliance by centralizing procurement documentation, strengthening review and approval controls, and increasing management oversight. Procurement records will be centrally maintained and made accessible to the Accounting and Compliance Departments, in order to support monitoring and audit readiness. Updated training and standardized compliance tools are in the process of implementation, to reinforce consistent application of federal procurement requirements. In addition, Catholic Charities is strengthening vendor oversight through a centralized vendor management process that ensures ongoing monitoring for suspension and debarment. The Compliance Department already runs regular debarment/suspension checks against all vendors engaged in any form of agreement (e.g., contract, grant, MOU, amendment, etc.) but has no visibility to vendors not tied to an agreement. To solve this, the Compliance Department will request a report from the Accounting Department, which lists all vendors paid and will run debarment and suspension checks. All new vendors will be reviewed prior to engagement, and existing vendors will be reviewed on a recurring basis using this report. Responsible Individuals: Primary: Carys Church, Procurement Manager Secondary: Elizabeth Knight, Chief Compliance Officer; Mary Ammer, Sr. Director of Accounting and Finance Anticipated Completion Date: April 2026

Condition: The City does not have a documented control to perform and retain evidence of suspension and debarment verification (e.g., SAM.gov check or vendor certification) at the time of entering into covered transactions funded by federal awards. Management indicated that vendor eligibility checks are performed as part of standard operating practice; however, documentation evidencing the timing and performance of these checks was not retained. Recommendation: We recommend the City obtain certifications from vendors stating their organization is not suspended, debarred, or otherwise excluded from participation in federal assistance programs or document the procedures performed to verify the vendor is not identified as suspended or debarred on SAM.gov. Explanation of disagreement with auditing finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: The City will implement a formalized control procedure to ensure compliance with federal suspension and debarment requirements. Specifically, the City will require documentation to be maintained evidencing verification that vendors are not suspended, debarred, or otherwise excluded from participation in federal assistance programs. Verification will be performed through a search of the System for Award Management (SAM.gov) or through vendor certification prior to entering into covered transactions funded by federal awards. Documentation of the verification will be retained with the procurement records.

The District acknowledges the finding regarding inaccuracies in meal counts reported for the Child Nutrition Program reimbursement claims. To address this issue, the District will strengthen internal controls over the meal count reporting and claim preparation process. The food service department will ensure that daily meal count documentation is properly maintained and reconciled to the monthly claim totals prior to submission. In addition, the Director of Business Operations will implement a formal management review process prior to submission of each monthly claim for reimbursement to the Arizona Department of Education. This review will include verification that reported meal counts agree to supporting documentation and that all reconciliations have been completed and documented. Any discrepancies identified during the review will be investigated and corrected before the claim is submitted. These procedures will provide additional oversight and help ensure the District maintains compliance with federal regulations and the reporting requirements of the Child Nutrition Program. The Director of Business Operations is responsible for implementing and monitoring this correction action, which will be completed at the end of the next fiscal year.

FINDING 2025-002 Finding Subject: Special Education Cluster (IDEA)- Earmarking Summary of Finding: The School Corporation is a member of the Greater Lafayette Area Special Services Cooperative (Cooperative). During fiscal years 2023-2024, the Cooperative operated the special education programs and spent the federal money on behalf of all of its members. As the grant agreements were between the Indiana Department of Education (IDOE) and each member school, the School Corporation was responsible for ensuring and providing oversight of the Cooperative. However, there was inadequate oversight performed by the School Corporation in order to ensure compliance with the Matching, Level of Effort, Earmarking compliance requirement. The School Corporation did not have internal controls in place to ensure that the Cooperative complied with the earmarking requirements. The Cooperative did not have adequate procedures in place to ensure that the required level of expenditures for nonpublic school students with disabilities was met for each member school. The Cooperative did not have effective internal controls to ensure nonpublic school expenditures were appropriately identified and reported. The Non-Public Proportionate Share expenditures for the 22611-021-PN01, 22611-021-ARP, 22619-021- ARP, 23611-021-PN01, and 23619-021-PN01 grant awards could not be verified for the individual member schools. Total grant expenditures were posted as expended. The nonpublic proportionate share expenditures were determined by applying a percentage to the nonpublic school budgeted expenditures. As such, we were unable to identify if the minimum amount per the grant awards was expended and properly reported to the IDOE as required. The lack of internal controls and noncompliance were isolated to the 22611-021-PN01, 22611-021-ARP, 22619-021-ARP, 23611-021-PN01, and 23619-021-PN01 grant awards.

The GLASS Cooperative did not have adequate procedures in place to ensure that the required level of expenditures for non-public school students with disabilities was met for each member school. The Cooperative did not have effective internal controls to ensure non-public school expenditures were appropriately identified and reported. The methodology used by the Cooperative to monitor non-public proportionate share expenditures was based upon a percentage for each school corporation that comprises the Cooperative rather than basing the expenditures off of the grant award for each non-public school within the geographical boundaries of the school corporations. While all proportionate share funds were expended, it was problematic in determining if the minimum amount per the grant awards was expended and properly reported prior to July 1, 2024. Description of Corrective Action Plan: The former Director of GLASS retired June 30, 2023. Upon hire on July 1, 2023, the new director immediately implemented measures to correct the previous methodology used at GLASS. Non-public proportionate share funds are identified and reported based upon the grant award for each school corporation. The expenditures are based upon the geographical location of the non-public school and the corresponding public school corporation, not based upon the “home” school corporation of the student. This process was implemented and descriptions were included on the ledgers to identify non-public school proportionate share for grants that were initiated during the FY 2024-2025 school year. Anticipated Completion Date: The corrective action was already put into place on July 1, 2023 and implemented with FY 2024-2025. The audit finding reflects the previous grant cycle for 2022 grants and 2023 grants, which is prior to this action taken.
