Finding Number 2025-004 Federal Program, Assistance Listing Number and Name: ALN 14.239, Department of Housing and Urban Development, Home Investment Partnerships Program Condition: Original Finding Description: The City lacked adequate controls to ensure annual reviews were conducted in accordance with its policy, limiting its ability to exercise proper oversight of eligibility determinations performed by the program’s contractor. Contact Person Responsible for Corrective Action / Anticipated Completion Date: Julie Schneider Anticipated completion date: July 2025 Planned Corrective Action: This finding is timing related and was resolved by the City during fiscal year. The City reviewed and updated its policies and procedures to help ensure proper segregation of duties and proper oversight of eligibility determination. Additional processes now have independent review of inspections after the program’s contractor to further support program compliance. Review responsibilities were put in place to help ensure determinations receive an independent secondary review by City staff. These changes were in place by year-end. The City will continue to monitor the program and review procedures to ensure continued compliance and to prevent the recurrence of similar timing-related issues.

Finding Number: 2025-003 Federal Program, Assistance Listing Number and Name: ALN 14.239, Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Home Investment Partnerships Program Condition: Original Finding Description: The requirements mandate that units be inspected, deficiencies communicated, and corrective actions taken promptly. However, controls over housing quality standards are not effectively designed, reflecting a persistent lack of segregation of duties necessary to ensure compliance. Furthermore, existing controls were insufficient to guarantee that HQS inspection requirements were met and that identified deficiencies were addressed in a timely manner. Contact Person Responsible for Corrective Action / Anticipated Completion Date: Julie Schneider Anticipated completion date: July 2025 Planned Corrective Action: During the fiscal year, the City reviewed and enhanced its internal controls over HQS inspections to strengthen oversight and segregation of duties. Process changes were implemented to ensure that inspections, documentation of deficiencies, follow-up actions, and certifications of completion have independent review and approval. In addition, management implemented monitoring procedures to track inspection schedules to help ensure HQS requirements are met in a timely manner.While corrective actions were initiated during the fiscal year, they were not fully implemented throughout the entire period. By year-end, the controls were in place. The City will continue to monitor these controls to ensure ongoing compliance and to prevent similar issues from recurring.

However, we noted that the findings or exceptions identified in the quarterly internal audit review remained uncorrected. Recommendation: We recommend that LBUCC establish a process for communicating, investigating and correcting all internal audit findings or exceptions on a timely manner. Additionally, we recommend that management identify the potential cause of such findings or exceptions and that necessary corrective actions be taken to address such cause. For example, LBUCC may conduct periodic training of all employees involved in the patient intake and screening process. Action Taken: The internal audit process has been redesigned and expanded to include weekly reviews and all exceptions/errors will be corrected and the cause determined. Additional training will be provided with the expectation that the exceptions/errors will reduce going forward. Effectivity Date: This will be fully implemented by 1/31/2026

Allowable Costs - Special Education Cluster (IDEA) (Significant Deficiency - Other Matter) Description of Finding 1 employee’s pay rate was not updated to reflect the new fiscal year 2025 collective bargaining agreement for their specific union after its implementation in December 2024. Although retroactive pay for hours worked prior to ratification was correctly calculated and paid, the payroll system continued using the prior contract’s rate for all subsequent pay periods through the end of the school year. This occurred due to a failure in the payroll update process following contract implementation. Statement of Concurrence or Nonconcurrence Management agrees with the finding. Corrective Action The Board of Education will implement additional controls over payroll updates and establish a documented process for updating pay rates immediately after contract ratification. Additionally, review and verification of rate changes, along with periodic reconciliation against approved salary schedules or union agreements, should be performed to ensure accuracy and compliance.

State Agency: NYS Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services Program Name: Disaster Grants – Public Assistance (Presidentially Declared Disasters) ALN #: 97.036 Single Audit Contact: Celines Jorge-Gecewicz Title: Director of Finance for Disaster Recovery Programs Telephone: (518) 473-5694 E-mail Address: Celines.Jorge-Gecewicz@dhses.ny.gov Audit Report Reference: 2025-012 Anticipated Completion Date: 3/31/2026 Corrective Action Planned: The Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services (DHSES) Disaster Recovery Programs (DRP) acknowledges the identified discrepancies between amounts as reported to the Federal government and the supporting documentation associated with those award amounts as required by the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act (FFATA). DHSES DRP has implemented immediate corrective actions to strengthen internal guidance related to reporting and internal controls monitoring to ensure timely and accurate FFATA reporting. The nature of FEMA reimbursement often takes years from the emergency declaration to the reimbursement of expenses and the project closeout and may include multiple disbursements to applicants over multiple fiscal years. FFATA data reported in all prior New York State Fiscal Years was completed in the now retired FFATA Subaward Reporting System (FSRS.gov). This system was retired on March 6, 2025, and replaced with subaward reporting on SAM.gov on March 8, 2025 – just 23 days before the close of State Fiscal Year (FY) 2025. All existing data from FSRS.gov was migrated to SAM.gov. During transition training, Federal representatives indicated that while there could be accuracy issues related to the data migration – grantees would not be required to remediate these issues. After the completion of migration, DHSES DRP staff noticed data inaccuracies and submitted support requests through the US General Services Administration’s Federal Service Desk (fsdsupport@gsa.gov) and USAspending Service Desk Team (usaspending.help@fiscal.treasury.gov). However, to date, no Federal solution has been identified. While efforts to identify a solution at the Federal level have been unsuccessful, DHSES DRP staff continue to review and correct all information previously submitted for open disasters. Going forward staff will make necessary corrections to SAM.gov, where feasible, to achieve full compliance. Additionally, the State will revise Budget Bulletin L-0302 - Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act Guidance to remind agencies to be aware of the conversion to SAM.gov and the need to verify/correct data, and report inaccuracies to the Federal government.
