2024-010 Oregon Health Authority Submit required Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act reports Management Response: The agency agrees with the finding. The FFATA Reporting Coordinator position within the Office of Contracts & Procurement (OC&P) has been vacant for eight months but should be filled by April 15, 2025. On March 8, 2025, FSRS.gov was retired, and all subaward reporting data and functionality are now on SAM.gov. The new SAM.gov reporting system will allow for multiple Data Entry roles, allowing each program or division of ODHS/OHA to submit their own reporting, and allowing OC&P to conduct Quality Assurance/Quality Control. Once the FFATA Reporting Coordinator is onboard and trained, we anticipate the FFATA reporting will resume and any missing reports will be submitted by April 15, 2026.

2024-023 Oregon Department of Human Services Strengthen controls over program expenditures Management Response: We agree with this recommendation. Department management acknowledges the finding and has already initiated actions to address the concerns. Quarterly collaboration meetings including TANF and TADVS policy, business security unit, business operations, and office of financial services began in July 2024. Issues and resolutions are discussed during these quarterly meetings; as a result, guidance for staff has been developed, and regular internal audits take place throughout the year. Business operations team in partnership with TANF policy will send out communication reminding staff of the process when a check is reported as lost, and the steps that must happen prior to a replacement check being issued. In addition, policy and business operations will attend meetings with those who have a leadership role in the system to approve payments and share the transmittal along with a discussion on ways to mitigate duplicate payments in the future. Child Welfare reviewed and corrected the transaction identified in this audit. Although the SPOTS card was reimbursed on July 21, 2023, the request in OR-Kids was not canceled on that day causing the transaction to hit the SFMA. During the audit, the error was discovered and Federal Policy and Resources worked with Office of Financial Services (OFS) to correct the reimbursement on February 26, 2025. The transaction was canceled in the OR-Kids system through financial cycle on February 26, 2025. OFS entered the correction in SFMA to reflect the reduction to TANF funding, which processed through OR-Kids on February 27, 2025, and interfaced to SFMA on the evening of February 27, 2025.

2024-022 Oregon Department of Human Services Improve controls to ensure eligibility criteria are met Management Response: We agree with this recommendation. Beginning in April 2025 the Quality Control (QC) manager will have oversight of the process and be included in the emails between the QC lead and administration concerning the error packets being sent to the branch for corrective action by the 15th of each month. The QC manager will check on the 16th of each month to ensure the task was completed. Department management acknowledges the finding and has already initiated actions to address the concerns. The State of Oregon has implemented a structured approach to address this concern. Since January 2025, the Oregon Eligibility Partnership (OEP) has updated and developed six eligibility guides aimed at improving, understanding, and execution of processes related to TANF enrollment, including asset pursuit and IEVS checks. These guides are now available as part of the training curriculum for eligibility workers. Additionally, the "Verification Take Time for Training" (TT4T) module, which was last presented in October 2022, will be reviewed by the OEP to assess potential gaps or outdated information. Any necessary updates will be incorporated by July 2025 to ensure comprehensive training is available to all eligibility workers. Finally, OEP will continue to monitor the effectiveness of the updated training materials and guides through ongoing reviews, feedback collection from eligibility workers, and periodic review and refreshing of the materials.

2024-038 Oregon Business Development Department Implement controls over reporting Management Response: We agree with this recommendation. The submission of the quarterly financial reports by Business Oregon to DAS CFRT is on-going and within the submission deadline of DAS CFRT staff. When preparing for the quarterly financial report, the accounting/financial data has been prepared by our accountant and reviewed by Business Oregon’s accounting manager. The data is then submitted to program staff to complete the programmatic narrative and other performance-related information to further explain or describe the transactions for the reporting period, and then program staff submits the quarterly report to DAS CFRT. Going forward, to ensure reports submitted to DAS CFRT match with accounting records, management will make procedure changes by routing the report back to the accounting team for final review of financial data after program has entered their part of the report before sending to DAS CFRT. We will implement this process change effective immediately for the quarterly report ending March 2025. For the cumulative variance of $1.6 million, Business Oregon will conduct research to determine the cause of the variance. The under-reporting of expenses on the quarterly report ending June 2024 could be the result of data provided to DAS in mid-July 2024, to meet DAS CFRT reporting deadline, when the fiscal month of June 2024 was not officially closed until early August 2024. While the fiscal year-end process was still on-going through August 2024, the month of June is still open for accrual entries or adjustments, resulting to more expenditures in accounting records than what was reported to DAS in July. Business Oregon will perform reconciliation of data from 2020 to March 2025 to true up the expenditures reported in the accounting records and the reports submitted to DAS CFRT.
