Pursuant to federal regulations, Uniform Administrative Requirements Section 200.511, the following is the finding as noted in the Northern Michigan University Single Audit Act Compliance report for the year ended June 30, 2025, and corrective action to be completed. 2025-001 – Lack of Drawdown Review Procedures Auditor Description of Condition and Effect. The University did not have documented review procedures in place for federal grant drawdowns under the Research and Development cluster. Drawdowns were processed without a formal review or approval process to verify that amounts requested were based on allowable expenditures. This deficiency increases the risk of drawing federal funds in excess of actual expenditures or for unallowable costs, potentially resulting in noncompliance with federal regulations. Auditor Recommendation. The University should implement formal review procedures for all federal grant drawdowns, including enhancing policies around reviewing drawdowns, designated reviewers, and system controls to ensure drawdowns are accurate, allowable, and properly supported. Corrective Action. The University is developing formal grant drawdown review procedures that outlines required documentation and review steps around federal grant drawdowns. Responsible Person. Jamie Beauchamp, Controller Anticipated Completion Date. January 31, 2026.

2025-004 Inadequate Cash Management Procedures and Noncompliance with Period of Performance Requirements Criteria: Per 2 CFR §200.305(b), non-Federal entities must minimize the time elapsing between the transfer of funds from the U.S. Treasury and the disbursement of those funds for program purposes under the period of performance. Furthermore, entities must have written procedures that clearly outline the timing and methods for drawing down federal funds in accordance with cash management requirements. These procedures should be documented, reviewed, approved, and periodically revised to ensure ongoing compliance. Client’s Response: The organization will revise its current draw-down procedures to reflect timing and methods for drawing down federal funds that are in compliance with cash management requirements.

Condition: Controls in place did not minimize the time elapsing between the transfer receipt of billing from the subrecipient and disbursement of federal dollars to the subrecipient in accordance with the guidance above. Planned Corrective Action: Federation typically receives vouchers from 15 subrecipient organizations approximately ten to fifteen days after the end of each month. The number of vouchers per agency depends on the number of programs they provide. Staff reviews the vouchers for allowability and accuracy and submits them to the Illinois Department of Human Services (IDHS) within 24 days of month end. During fiscal year 2025, the IDHS remitted payment to Federation anywhere from 20 to 82 days after the month end. Upon receipt of the cash, Federation typically pays subrecipient organizations within two to three business days. In the instances identified by the auditors, the IDHS remitted payment over 30 days after Federation submitted the vouchers for reimbursement. Federation’s longstanding policy has always been to reimburse each subrecipient agency after it has received payment from the IDHS. Prior to fiscal year 2024, the IDHS usually provided payment within 15 days of receipt of our voucher and therefore Federation was able to comply with the 30-day requirement. However, reimbursement delays from IDHS began to occur in fiscal year 2024 and continued throughout fiscal year 2025, resulting in the findings describe herein. IDHS made two advance payments to Federation during fiscal 2025, but the amounts provided were not adequate to fund all payments within the 30 day time period. To ensure compliance with the 30-day reimbursement requirement, Federation will again request advances from the IDHS. Kyu Kim, Director of Finance and Contract Compliance, Refugee Services will be responsible for the oversight of the reimbursement payments. Contact person responsible for corrective action: Kyu Kim Anticipated Completion Date: July 2026

Corrective Action: The Finance Director will establish clear timelines for submitting and processing payment requests to prevent any discrepancies in cash requests or disbursements.

Responsible Person: Director of Finance

Action taken: CRMHS management concurs with the finding. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, CRMHS did not consistently operate internal controls over federal cash management as designed. Specifically, a federal draw was processed in excess of immediate cash needs and was not fully reconciled to supporting allowable expenditures prior to submission. This resulted in federal funds being drawn in advance of program disbursement requirements. Management acknowledges that this practice does not comply with 2 CFR §200.305, which requires non-federal entities to minimize the time between drawdown of federal funds and their disbursement for program purposes. While the funds were ultimately expended on allowable program costs, the timing of the draw created a compliance exception and reflects a material weakness in internal control over compliance. Management takes this matter seriously and has implemented corrective measures to strengthen cash management oversight and reconciliation procedures. Such actions include: • CRMHS has completed a full reconciliation of all drawdowns under Assistance Listing 93.696 to supporting allowable expenditures through June 30, 2024. • Any excess cash balances identified were evaluated and adjusted to ensure compliance with federal cash management requirements. • Pre-Draw Reconciliation Requirement—No draw request may be submitted without documented reconciliation to recorded allowable expenditures. • Segregation of Duties and Review—the draw request and documented reconciliation will be reviewed and signed off on by a second qualified member of the accounting team. • Monthly Grant Cash Monitoring—CRMHS will compare cumulative drawdowns to cumulative allowable expenditures to identify and resolve any excess cash position.

MANAGEMENT WILL ENSURE THAT ALL FUTURE GRANT DRAWDOWNS ARE RETAINED IN THE BANK UNTIL SPENT ON ALLOWABLE GRANT EXPENSES.
