Reference Number: 2023-002 Prior Year Finding: Yes, 2022-023 Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Labor Department Name: Mississippi Department of Employment Security Federal Program: WIOA Cluster Assistance Listing Number: 17.258, 17.259, 17.278 Award Number and Year: 7/1/22 – 6/30/23 Compliance Requirement: Subrecipient Monitoring Type of Finding: Material Weakness in Internal Control over Compliance, Material Noncompliance Criteria or specific requirement: Compliance – Per 2 CFR section 200.332(a), all pass-through entities must ensure that every subaward is clearly identified to the subrecipient as a subaward and includes information at the time of the subaward and if any of these data elements change, include the changes in subsequent subaward modification. When some of this information is not available, the pass-through entity must provide the best information available to describe the Federal award and subaward. 2 CFR section 200.332 also states that pass-through entities must: (d) Evaluate each subrecipient's risk of noncompliance with Federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of the subaward for purposes of determining the appropriate subrecipient monitoring described in paragraphs (d) and (e) of this section, which may include consideration of such factors as: 1) The subrecipient's prior experience with the same or similar subawards; 2) The results of previous audits including whether or not the subrecipient receives a Single Audit in accordance with Subpart F - Audit Requirements of this part, and the extent to which the same or similar subaward has been audited as a major program; 3) Whether the subrecipient has new personnel or new or substantially changed systems; 4) The extent and results of Federal awarding agency monitoring (e.g., if the subrecipient also receives Federal awards directly from a Federal awarding agency). (e) Monitor the activities of the subrecipient as necessary to ensure that the subaward is used for authorized purposes, in compliance with Federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of the subaward; and that subaward performance goals are achieved. Pass-through entity monitoring of the subrecipient must include: (1) Reviewing financial and performance reports required by the pass-through entity. (2) Following-up and ensuring that the subrecipient takes timely and appropriate action on all deficiencies pertaining to the Federal award provided to the subrecipient from the pass-through entity detected through audits, on-site reviews, and other means. (3) Issuing a management decision for audit findings pertaining to the Federal award provided to the subrecipient from the pass-through entity as required by § 200.521 Management decision. (f) Verify that every subrecipient is audited as required by Subpart F - Audit Requirements of this part when it is expected that the subrecipient's Federal awards expended during the respective fiscal year equaled or exceeded the threshold set forth in § 200.501 Audit requirements. Control – Per 2 CFR section 200.303(a), a non-Federal entity must: Establish and maintain effective internal control over the Federal award that provides reasonable assurance that the non-Federal entity is managing the Federal award in compliance with Federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of the Federal award. These internal controls should be in compliance with guidance in “Standards for Internal Control in the Federal Government” issued by the Comptroller General of the United States or the “Internal Control Integrated Framework”, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Condition: The Mississippi Department of Employment Security (MDES) was unable to provide documentation of subaward agreements and monitoring activities performed. Context: Six subrecipients were selected for testing and the following exceptions were noted:  1 of 6 subawards was not available for audit. Auditors were unable to verify if the subaward contained all required information nor if it was reviewed and approved by appropriate program staff prior to issuance.  For 3 of 6 subrecipients, MDES was unable to provide documentation that it performed monitoring activities nor that it ensured the subrecipients were audited as required by Subpart F. Questioned costs: Undetermined. Cause: Internal controls were not sufficient to ensure that copies of subaward agreements were maintained and available for audit, nor that it maintained documentation of subrecipient monitoring activities performed. Effect: Auditors were unable to verify that subawards were issued in accordance with Federal requirements nor that the subrecipients had been adequately monitored and were audited as required by Subpart F. Recommendation: MDES should review and enhance internal controls and procedures to ensure that it maintains copies of all subaward agreements, that proper subrecipient monitoring is conducted, and that evaluation of independent audits is performed for all subrecipients. Copies of subawards and documentation of subrecipient monitoring activities should be readily available for audit. Views of responsible officials: MDES Response MDES concurs with this finding. Corrective Action Plan: a. MDES Plan: MDES will establish a checklist to verify receipt of the documents responsive to this compliance requirement. Using the checklist, MDES will ensure that all documents indicated in this finding will be readily available for the auditors as early as possible in the audit process. Additionally, MDES will develop a timeline and plan for the submission of documentation to ensure timely review. b. Contact Person Responsible: Director of Grant Management. c. Anticipated Corrective Action Plan Completion Date: July 31, 2024.

2023-004 Federal Award Subrecipient Monitoring – Material Non-Compliance and Material Weakness in Internal Control over Compliance Recommendation: The Organization should establish written policies and procedures regarding the contracting and monitoring of subrecipients that are in line with Uniform Guidance requirements, as well as establish organizational controls to ensure that such policies and procedures are being followed. Action Taken: Management concurs with the finding and has defined corrective action to address it. Staff have reviewed policies and procedures already in place to ensure compliance of subrecipient monitoring. The Fiscal department has subsequently conducted a fiscal desk review of the subrecipient in question for FY 22/23 and no findings were found. Standard Operating Processes were updated to ensure all subrecipients are fiscally monitored based on the Risk Assessment Determination level. The above identified corrective action was implemented in July 2024. Stacey Wilson, Fiscal Director, has implemented a monitoring calendar for fiscal and Program Director’s will be responsible for ensuring subrecipients are monitored.

All subrecipients will be required to submit monthly reports as well, which will be evaluated by the Aging Department staff to ensure compliance. Additionally, our current system includes a once-a-year compliance checklist with our subgrantee and is being updated for use in first quarter of 2025. Views of Responsible Officials and Corrective Action: The reason for recurrence is the finding was communicated late in the prior year and due to transition and turnover within the department's staff. Management will ensure this is addressed by December 31, 2025. Responsible Official: Dr. Shelley Kneuvean Chief Financial Officer Unified Government of Wyandotte County & Kansas City KS

Assistance listing numbers and program names: 84.010 Title I Grants to Local Educational Agencies 84.367 Supporting Effective Instruction State Grants (formerly Improving Teacher Quality State Grants) Agency: Arizona Department of Education (ADE) Name of contact person and title: Dr. Sarka White, ADE Deputy Associate Superintendent Anticipated completion date: December 15, 2024 Agency’s response: Concur The Arizona Department of Education (ADE) has already begun implementing a program to ensure accurate and quality programmatic monitoring for all ESEA programs which specifically requires LEAs to meet 100% of the requirements of all statutorily required items to be monitored regardless of CMO affiliation. This development of programmatic monitoring will design a system of integrity to allow each LEA to have unique monitoring findings and ensure they are treated as all other LEAs regardless of management status. The Arizona Department of Education (ADE) is finalizing all program policies and procedures along with field training and staff training on how this program is implemented. ADE began providing an assurance document to charters in May 2024 which asks the charters to assure that if they do business with a CMO, the CMO does not have fiscal or operational authority for the LEA. The charter is asked to submit to ADE a copy of their organizational chart, along with the assurances document. Grants Management has created a new user role in the Grants Management Enterprise (GME) system, called the LEA Contracted Update role. This role allows a CMO person the access to perform fiscal tasks for which they have been contracted but does not hold the final submit or approve capacity, that must be reserved for authorized employees of the LEA. Grants Management has provided the placeholder for the assurance and organizational chart in the LEA Document Library, along with the communication to eligible entities (charters in this case). Individual program areas within ADE who review and approve funding applications will be responsible for verifying the assurances have been signed and uploaded and only authorized people at the LEA are actioning funding applications in GME prior to the program area giving director approval to the application.

Assistance listing number and program name: 21.027 COVID-19 - Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds Agency: Arizona Department of Economic Security (DES) Name of contact person and title: Jim Whallon, DES Deputy CFO Anticipated completion date: June 30, 2026 Agency’s response: Concur The Department of Economic Security will address the audit recommendations as follows: 1. Perform required monitoring of its subrecipients and their compliance with the award terms and program requirements. The Department will revise its agency-wide policies and procedures related to single audit requirements for pass-through entities to include guidance regarding how to establish effective subrecipient monitoring procedures. The Department will also offer additional subrecipient monitoring guidance for programs administered by divisions with existing subrecipient monitoring findings. 2. Properly classify and report subrecipient expenditures on the State’s SEFA. The Department will revise its procedures related to single audit requirements to include steps detailing the instructions for classifying and reporting subrecipient expenditures on the State’s SEFA. The updated procedures will include actions needed to be taken to ensure each pass-through relationship is appropriately determined and that every subrecipient relationship is communicated to the staff responsible for compiling the State’s SEFA. 3. Develop, implement, and train all divisions on entity-wide written subrecipient-monitoring policies and procedures requiring all divisions to: a. Assess the risk of each subrecipient’s noncompliance and carry out monitoring activities based on those risk assessments such as reviewing financial and performance reports, providing training or technical assistance on program-related matters, and performing on-site reviews, selective audits, and/or other monitoring procedures. b. Verify subrecipients receive timely single audits, if required; follow up on and ensure that corrective action is taken on any audit findings that could potentially affect the program; and issue management decisions for any audit findings pertaining to the federal award. c. Maintain documentation of monitoring procedures demonstrating they were performed, including the monitoring procedures’ results and any Department actions taken, if appropriate. In addition to the revisions in policy and procedures outlined in Recommendation #1 above, the Department will train staff responsible for administering compliance requirements for pass-through entities. This training will include instructions to formulate a risk assessment, review controls related to compliance requirements, review timely single audit submittal, follow up on audit findings, issue management decisions for findings, and maintain adequate documentation of monitoring procedures. The training will be provided to all staff responsible for administering programs with pass-through entities. 4. Allocate sufficient resources, such as staffing, to comply with the award terms and program requirements, and designate individuals within each division to perform necessary subrecipient-monitoring procedures. The Department will conduct analyses to determine resources needed, including staffing, to ensure compliance with applicable requirements. For example, the Department will assess the efficiency of its subrecipient-monitoring procedures, estimate future workloads, determine staffing needed to meet those workloads, and assign sufficient staff the responsibility for ensuring compliance with each requirement outlined in the federal award. The Department will also ensure the staff responsible for administering the compliance requirements prioritize this responsibility and communicate anticipated compliance deficiencies to management. 5. Update the form it uses to determine whether other parties receiving program monies have the role of a subrecipient or contractor to include guidance for how to determine each characteristic of a subrecipient and contractor relationship and require a conclusion to be documented. In addition, train staff to properly complete the form and perform supervisory reviews of it. The Department will revise its Contractor/Subrecipient Determination form to clearly identify the final determination of a pass-through entity. The Department will also provide guidance to accompany the form that shows how to determine each characteristic of a subrecipient and contractor as well as how to make the final determination regarding the contractor versus subrecipient relationship. The Department will then provide training to staff responsible for using this form as part of the training outlined in Recommendation #3 above.

Assistance listing numbers and program names: 21.027 COVID-19 - Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds 84.425C COVID-19 Education Stabilization Fund –Governor’s Emergency Education Relief (GEER) Fund Agency: Arizona Governor’s Office of Strategic Planning and Budgeting (Office) Name of contact person and title: Sarah Brown, Director Anticipated completion date: July 31, 2025 Agency’s response: Concur During fiscal year 2024, the Office took significant corrective action to improve subrecipient monitoring by developing and implementing a comprehensive subrecipient monitoring plan. This plan includes the following: • Financial Report-Reimbursement Requests—The Office reviews the grantee's financial reports to ensure costs align with the approved budget, program objectives, and federal cost principles. • Performance Reports—The Office reviews the submission of programmatic reports. The timelines for submission and frequency of the programmatic activity reports are defined in the terms and conditions of each award. The program activity reports document that all program requirements are being satisfactorily fulfilled. Grantee outreach is conducted when performance activity is lagging. Grantee check-ins and/or additional milestones are set to ensure goals are met. The Office may amend or terminate the grant award if sufficient progress is lacking. • Single Audit Reports—The Office confirms any required Single Audits and reviews a copy of the most recent report. • A Single Audit Questionnaire is distributed to grantees annually to confirm if the entity is subject to this federal audit requirement. • The Office also reviews total payments issued to an entity by the Office in the prior year to confirm if disbursements met the audit threshold. • The Office requests grantees submit their Single Audit Reporting Package (SARP) with any findings and the required Corrective Action Plan. In addition, the Office collects SARPs from the federal clearinghouse. • The Office reviews SARPs for any findings and conducts follow-up monitoring of CAPs that impact any grant funding managed by the Office. Management decisions are issued to grantees as required for specific grant findings. • Risk Assessment (RA)—The Office conducts a Risk Assessment (RA) of grantees when applying for grants to inform the grant award decision and possible grantee oversight or restrictions. Additionally, the Office conducts an annual RA of any grantee currently awarded funding. • The RA contains a self-assessment for the grantee to complete and an internal review conducted by the Office. Scores from both are weighted and used to calculate the overall risk score for each grantee as high, medium, and low risk. • The Office utilizes the RA results to prioritize high-risk grantees, which are reviewed through a desk or on-site monitoring. Medium-risk grantees will receive additional support and be referred to our Compliance and Reporting team for further review if additional concerns arise. Office staff now attend ongoing internal and external training to improve their understanding of compliance requirements, identify noncompliance, and actively reduce the risks of waste, fraud, and abuse of federal dollars through our subrecipient monitoring process. The Office has developed and implemented processes for requirements such as single audit review and corrective action follow-up, risk assessment, and subrecipient monitoring to address the specific findings. During the time frame corresponding to this audit finding, the pace and volume of grants management administrative duties required to be executed exceeded staffing capacity, contributing to the findings noted. As of this date, the Office has achieved stability in both manager and staff positions. In addition, the Office has allocated sufficient resources to comply with the award terms and program requirements by establishing a Grants Compliance and Reporting Team dedicated to performing necessary subrecipient monitoring procedures. Furthermore, the Office has implemented all recommendations and would like to specifically highlight efforts to work with subrecipients to resolve the potential disallowed costs of $1,903,858 of program monies that may have been spent in violation of its federal award terms by conducting on-site monitoring visits, desk reviews, and facilitating subrecipient technical assistance. OSPB is committed to continuing these efforts.

The Department will revise its expenditure review procedures to ensure compliance with these regulations prior to disbursing any ESG and/or TANF funding to any subrecipient for any purpose. These revisions will include review and approval by applicable management personnel prior to disbursement of federal funding. The Department is also in the process of establishing a divisional Monitoring and Compliance Policy and Procedure Manual which will establish procedures specific to subrecipient monitoring. The Department will continue to assess the risk of noncompliance violations for each subrecipient and establish a plan of action to address noncompliance. The plan of action will include an array of training and educational processes to ensure applicable personnel are knowledgeable of programmatic compliance requirements and Department contracts. The Department will also monitor subrecipients per its updated policies and procedures and will ensure proper oversight of federal expenditures as required by federal regulations. The Department has amended its contracts with the applicable subrecipients to more clearly outline the regulatory requirements and expectations for expenditures under the ESG and TANF grants. The Department will also continue to resolve the unallowable costs reimbursed to subrecipients as deemed appropriate by the applicable federal agencies.

Subrecipient Monitoring Name of Contact Person: Tamara Colden, Assistant Director Housing and Community Services Department Corrective Action: The Subrecipient Monitoring policy and procedures were updated in August 2022 to include the procedures for evaluating risk for subrecipients and revise monitoring procedures. These procedures were updated to include checking the Federal Awards clearinghouse annually to assess audit requirements for all subrecipients and ensure the monitoring policy includes procedures when those audits result in any concerns or findings for subrecipients. A revised risk assessment will be conducted for each subrecipient. A new subrecipient monitoring policy was implemented in March 2023 to address this finding and staff has followed this policy since that time and will continue to do so.
