On November 25, 2025, it was brought to the attention of DLA that significantly more Assistance Listing Numbers (ALNs) have been created to correlate to specific programs awarded by FHWA. While the Caltrans Division of Local Assistance does not have the capacity to electronically identify the ALNs, the Caltrans Office of Federal Resources (OFR) owns the database that DLA uses to process federal requests for authorizations. By January 31, 2026, DLA and OFR will meet with FHWA to determine how they may transmit the ALN into Caltrans’ database. By June 30, 2026, the DLA will determine how to upload the data into the program supplement agreement or finance letter, which will be transmitted to subrecipients.

The EDD has policies, procedures, and training in place instructing employees to include applicable penalty amounts when establishing overpayments in the database. When the overpayment for the sample in question was established, the employee did not follow the proper procedure to include the penalty. EDD accepts this oversight and is committed to reviewing its applicable policies and procedures to ensure they are clear, and the penalty requirements are emphasized. Regarding internal controls, EDD leverages a process known as the Field Office Basic Evaluation System (FOBES). This process includes a standardized form that is utilized by leadership to evaluate the quality of their employees’ work on a variety of processes, including overpayment processing. EDD continues to review and modernize the existing assessment form and FOBES process to ensure effectiveness and consistency while evaluating employee compliance with policies and procedures Estimated Implementation Date: Currently Implemented Contact: Diane Underwood, Division Chief, Unemployment Insurance Branch, California Employment Development Department

Cal OES agrees with CLA's recommendation. Cal OES Grants Management which oversees Crime Victim Assistance funds has revised its existing FFATA reporting procedures and has taken several actions to strengthen internal controls and ensure staff are fully trained to maintain compliance with all FFATA reporting requirements. In March of 2025, Cal OES Grants Management centralized FFATA reporting responsibilities and are currently under the purview of the Grants Management Support (GMS) Unit. Cal OES Grants Management also implemented the Grants Centralized System (GCS) which automates the grant application process and assists in generating required FFATA data effective Fiscal Year 2024-2025. In addition, in March of 2025, the Cal OES GMS Unit was provided a comprehensive FFATA training course to ensure staff understand the federal reporting requirements and provided the updated FFATA Reporting Guide Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) (attachment #1). The FFATA Reporting Guide SOP outlines steps for collecting subrecipient data, preparing reports, and submitting reports within the required time frames. Furthermore, FFATA reporting is now performed by Cal OES GMS Unit analysts and is reviewed and approved by their respective unit leads and manager to verify accuracy and complete reporting.

Finding 2024-234: Payroll adjustments lacked sufficient internal controls. Agency’s View: The Department Agrees with this Finding Corrective Action: The department has established internal controls to ensure appropriate separation of duties and proper documentation of all reviews. When an accounting adjustment is required, staff prepare the adjustment using either an Infor Spreadsheet Designer (ISD) template or an Excel template. ISD is used for adjustments involving large volumes of data. Because ISD-generated adjustments cannot be reviewed within the system after entry, the completed template is sent to a Financial Specialist Principal (or higher) for review prior to upload. Email approval is obtained and attached to the adjustment record when it is entered into the system. For adjustments involving smaller amounts of data, staff use the Excel template. The Excel template, original GL lines, supporting documentation, and any other relevant information are attached when the adjustment is entered. After the manual adjustment is submitted, it is automatically routed to a Financial Specialist Principal (or higher) for approval before final posting. These procedures ensure that all adjustments undergo an independent review and that documentation is consistently maintained.

Finding 2024-233: The submission of a Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) financial report was not completed timely. Agency’s View: The Department Agrees with this Finding Corrective Action: The Department has seen an increased time commitment related to financial grant reporting since the implementation of Luma in July 2023. This was particularly relevant in SFY 2024 as Luma implementation, training and interfaces were still evolving, resulting in a tremendous increase in time commitments without the corresponding staff increases needed. In many cases, this resulted in late filings and/or filing reports that were not reviewed in sufficient detail. The Division of Financial Services continues to work through the inefficiencies encountered and design processes that include sufficient review and other internal controls while also allowing for timely completion of required reports. One FTE was transferred from another team to the Cash and Grants team. This position is expected to assist in completing preliminary tasks so that Grant Reporters have necessary data at their fingertips when drafting financial reports. As Department staff continue to learn nuances of the Luma system, both accuracy and timeliness of financial reporting is expected to improve.

Finding 2024-232: An incorrect Federal Medical Assistance Percentage (FMAP) rate was applied while calculating the federal and state share of expenditures for the Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) financial report resulting in an understatement of $1,064,932 of the federal share of costs. Agency’s View: The Department Agrees with this Finding Corrective Action: The Department's Grant Reporting team has been developing additional internal controls to put in place with the utilization of the Luma ERP. These controls include conducting reconciliations between internal workpapers and Luma records as well as reconciling to external parties such as the Payment Management System. This has streamlined our approach and has allowed management more opportunity to review items with higher risk factors, such as the quarterly change in FMAP rates during the stepdown from enhanced FMAP rates during COVID. We believe these increased focused efforts will alleviate issues like this in the future and are ongoing as the Department identifies opportunities for advancements in our own processes and working with SCO to implement better Luma reports and controls within the grant reconciliation process.
