The Grants Unit will focus on procedures to ensure the reporting requirements are met. A procedural checklist will be implemented to ensure that: 1. the recipient share section is completed, 2. that financial reports are submitted to the Department timely, and 3. all Performance Progress Reports as submitted.

Recommendation We recommend the Department train its staff on the various aspects of financial grant management including the specific requirement of the grants for which the Department receives federal funding. We recommend that the reconciliation process over grants be well documented and closely monitored by management. We recommend the Department work closely with the FEMA to establish a going forward point for the reconciliation of grants and the Federal accounts receivable/payable balance. Management Response Corrective Action: We concur with this finding and the auditor's recommendation. The Department is working to perform a comprehensive reconciliation of all grants and complete any draw down requests for grant funding that has been expended but not drawn down. The initial completion of billing for all the older grants and projects is estimated to be by March 2025. In addition to the historical reconciliation, the finance team is working to ensure that current grant expenditures are drawn down on a monthly basis when possible. The historical grant reconciliation must be prepared and reviewed prior to submitting the draw requests. Due Date of Completion: June 30, 2025 Responsible Person(s): Deputy Cabinet Secretary

The University has policies and procedures to ensure the review of expenditures charged to federal grants prior to draw downs. However, the University failed to identify a mistake in a journal entry which resulted in a duplicate expense posting to the grant until after the draw down request had been made. Specifically, the University charged prepaid amortization to a grant fund, although the expenditure had already been fully recorded to the grant fund. This resulted in a duplicated expense posting, one for the actual payment of the expenditure, and a second for the expense amortization. The University discovered the mistake after the duplicated expense had been drawn down. To correct this error, the University initiated the process to reduce a subsequent draw for the grant to ensure that overall, the grant is not overdrawn. Management reviewed the conditions which contributed to this error and is establishing the following controls to address this error: 1. The University will incorporate an additional review step for any journal entries posted to federal grants. The Office of Sponsored Projects and Business Office management will sign off on any journal entries which are posted to federal grants prior to the posting taking place. 2. The Business Office will reinforce existing procedures to all accounting staff responsible for prepaid expense accounting to ensure that prepaid expense is not recorded to federal grant funds. 3. The Office of Sponsored Projects will adjust its review process and train staff to ensure thorough review of all activities impacting grants, including journal entries made by the Business Office, before authorizing drawdowns. Person(s) Responsible: Assistant Vice President of the Office of Sponsored Projects. Controller & Associate Vice President. Targeted Correction Date: June 30, 2025.

2024-003 Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions: Management agrees with the audit recommendations and remains committed to strengthening grant management and financial oversight. This year’s challenges in grant reconciliation stemmed from overlapping prior-year FTA claims issues, pending grant amendments, and limited time, as noted in Finding 2024-002. Additionally, the increased complexity of federal grants following the pandemic required adjustments to allocation methods and financial reporting. To address these issues, staff has refined internal processes, including improving worksheets, enhancing review procedures, and consolidating grant data into a single summary sheet for better tracking. The 2024 FTA Triennial Review acknowledged these improvements, and the corrective action plan was considered sufficient, with recommendations to closely monitor grant activity and update the worksheets as necessary. Moving forward, staff will continue formalizing procedures for expense allocation, improve reconciliation processes, and ensure grant expenditures align with available funding. Grant tracking will provide a clearer overview of balances, deadlines, and remaining funds. The Finance department also adjusted its billing practices to reconcile expenses earlier in the reporting cycle, allowing sufficient time for review and claim adjustments. Regarding the overclaimed amounts of $183,548 and $175,143, staff will work with the FTA to determine whether repayment is required or if the funds can be applied to future eligible expenses. These efforts will strengthen compliance, improve accuracy in financial reporting, and overall grant management. Responsible Party: Director of Finance & Administration Implementation Date: Ongoing; full implementation expected by December 31, 2025

xiii. Management Response and Corrective Action Plan: One of the individuals tested was identified as not being enrolled in the audited grant during the audit period. This is correct. The individual was exited from the program in the previous audit period and written documentation was uploaded to demonstrate this. However, the case manager neglected to exit the individual from HMIS during the previous audit period. This has been corrected. No services or funds were provided to this individual following their exit from the program. Our program has a good track record of data compliance and we expect this was an exception and not the rule. Program management will review and train staff again on data compliance during a weekly staff meeting, and will also counsel the involved staff member on the error to ensure there is no similar future error. xiv.

vii. Management Response and Corrective Action Plan: The travel in question involved staff travel to the annual National Alliance to End Homelessness (NAEH) conference. As evidenced by correspondence with HUD AAQ, it has long been established that attending an NAEH conference is an eligible use of CoC and ESG grant funds. We perceived the historical general approval to be in alignment with the contract requirement of obtaining written approval for the reimbursement of costs incurred for travel outside the county. All costs submitted for reimbursement were eligible and reasonable expenses. We now understand this historical approval by HUD was not transferrable to this grant and therefore, moving forward, we will secure email approval of travel eligibility for specific grant reimbursement prior to travel. To that end, we have already been in contact with Housing and Community Development (HCD) fiscal staff at Santa Barbara County about a reliable method to secure said approvals in advance moving forward. If travel is not approved for a specific grant, or not obtained prior to travel, other unrestricted income will be utilized for that portion of the travel expenses. viii. Contact Person (s) Responsible for Corrective Action: Kristine Schwarz, Executive Director, kschwarz@sbnbcc.org Victoria Garfield, Grants Administrator, vgarfield@sbnbcc.org ix. Anticipated Completion Date: Staff anticipate attending the annual NAEH conference this year, therefore we will request approval once registration is confirmed and expect to receive approval or rejection from County CD staff by no later than the date of travel, or approximately July 15, 2025.
