FINDING # 2022-010No finding in prior yearAs recommended, the DCA will review current procedures to ensure that all subaward information required by the federal Uniform Guidance is included in all subaward contracts and grant agreements. The DCA has also reviewed its current subrecipient monitoring procedures for standard subawards made by the agency and has determined that no internal control enhancements are required. The HAF award was a unique grant relationship for DCA in that the entire award was passed through to another New Jersey State government agency that is a direct affiliate of the Department. Monitoring procedures were determined based on the close working relationship with our affiliate organization and the fact that less than 1 percent of the grant award was expended through June 30, 2022. Current procedures included a risk assessment of the subrecipient and performance of the single audit desk review of the independent audit report. In addition, the Director of Audit, and the Executive Director of the subgrantee affiliate participate in weekly meetings where updates on the program status can be determined. DCA?s subrecipient monitoring plan also includes the hiring of an Integrity Monitor to oversee and monitor the use of the HAF funds as well as compliance with all HAF program reporting requirements. As program disbursement activity is continuing to increase with the HAF program(s) created more fully up and running, DCA is currently targeting the Integrity Monitor hire to take place sometime within the next three to six months.COMPLETION DATE/CONTACT PERSON Fiscal Years 2023 and 2024John Alexy(609) 913.4385John.Alexy@dca.nj.gov

Subrecipients Not Tracked for Monitoring of Single Audit ReportsState Agency: Department of Workforce ServicesFederal Program: Child Care and Development Block GrantWe have verified that the four omitted subrecipients have been audited as required. Three of the four received a single audit and had no findings related to subawards provided by DWS. The remaining subrecipient was not required to have a single audit. Queries designed to identify subrecipients have been updated and reviewed to ensure that they include all subrecipients. FINET coding has been created to more specifically identify payments to subrecipients.

Dear Mr. Waguespack:The Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) has reviewed the finding ?Control Weakness Relating to Foster Care Subrecipient Monitoring.? The finding states DCFS did not adequately review subrecipient Foster Care Invoices submitted by the Office of Juvenile Justice (OJJ) for reimbursement of administrative expenditures to ensure billings were accurately calculated. DCFS concurs with the finding.DCFS will establish a secondary level of review to ensure accuracy of OJJ administrative invoices prior to reimbursement. The Child Welfare Consultant will review OJJ?s IVE Administrative Expenditure Invoice for accuracy. Upon verification of an accurate OJJ invoice, the Federal Programs Manager will conduct a secondary level review to confirm accurate calculation of administrative expenditures.If discrepancies are noted, the Consultant will contact OJJ for clarification and request corrections, if necessary. OJJ will be required to submit a corrected invoice. Upon receipt of the corrected invoice, the Consultant will conduct a review of the invoice to ensure accuracy. The Consultant will submit the invoice to the Federal Programs Manager for a secondary level review. This secondary level reviewer will ensure no additional issues exist and will confirm the accuracy of the calculations for administrative expenditures.Secondary level reviews of OJJ administrative expenditure invoices will begin immediately and DCFS is working with OJJ to recover the overpayment through deduction from the next FY22 Quarterly invoice submitted by OJJ.If you have any additional questions, please reach out Sharla Thomas, Child Welfare Manager 2, at Sharla.Thomas.DCFS@la.gov.

Mr. Waguespack,Please accept this response to the audit conducted by your office on the Acadiana Area Human Services District (AAHSD). There were two findings listed: 1) Inadequate Controls over Sub - Recipient Agreements; 2) Untimely Billing of Patient Services.Please find the response for each under separate letter attached.We appreciate the feedback and comments from your team and will use this information to improve our systems and processes.Finding:Inadequate Controls over Subrecipient AgreementsComment:We concur with this finding. AAHSD works closely with the Louisiana Department of Health (LDH) regarding interagency transfers (IAT) and other grant funding, including TANF and Block Grant funds. Much of the information required to demonstrate compliance with this element is maintained by LDH and was not always accessible to us in a timely manner. Additionally, we have worked with LDH to revise the documentation regarding risk assessment for the subrecipients.Corrective Action:? AAHSD will develop and implement an appropriate checklist of required information regarding:o identification of Federal award informationo a risk assessment of the subrecipients' non-compliance? AAHSD has revised our contract template to include the necessary information regarding audits of subrecipient organizations? AAHSD will request all necessary information from subrecipient organizations at the initiation of the contracting process rather than waiting on notification from LDHPerson(s) Responsible:The Executive Director is ultimately responsible for ensuring all corrective action. Specific duties may be delegated to other senior managers, specifically: the Chief Financial Officer; the Director of Behavioral Health; and the Corporate Compliance/Accreditation Officer.Timeframe:All action points implemented within 90 calendar days of receiving the final audit report.

Dear Mr. Waguespack,The Louisiana Workforce Commission (LWC) respectfully submits its response to the Single Audit Report finding of Inadequate Controls Over and Noncompliance with Subrecipient Monitoring Requirements.First and foremost, it is important to note that the Compliance and Monitoring Unit of LWC has been working very diligently to comply with the requirements of the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) of annual monitoring reviews of subrecipients. LWC recognizes the importance of monitoring our subrecipients and in doing so performs their due diligence to ensure that compliance with all legal requirements within WIOA are met. Enormous strides are being made towards improving and sustaining the great work that has already been done. We will continue our efforts to ensure that we remain on track in accomplishing full compliance with subrecipient monitoring at the close of the current fiscal year.Should you have any questions or need additional information, please feel free to contact my office at (225) 342-3001.? Two monitoring reports were not issued timely by LWC. The monitoring reports were issued 74 and 75 days after the completion of the monitoring review. LWC?s policy requires monitoring review reports to be issued 60 days after the completion of the monitoring review.? LWC concurs with this portion of the finding that 2 out of the 15 monitoring reports were issued more than 60 days after the conclusion of the monitoring review. We find it important to note that the late issuance of the 2 monitoring reports is a direct result of the many challenges LWC faced during the monitoring cycle. As a result of these challenges, LWC undertook a review of its internal policy and has made revisions to the policy with regard to, among other things, the timeliness of the issuance of monitoring reports.? For four monitoring reports, close out letters were issued 145 to 191 days after monitoring report issuance. For six monitoring reports, close out letters were not issued as of January 2023 while the monitoring reports for these reviews were issued over 200 days prior. The monitoring reports include findings with possible questioned cost totaling $3.1 million. LWC policy does not specifically address timeliness requirements for closeout letters.? LWC concurs in part with this finding concluding that four close out letters were issued 145 to 191 days after monitoring report issuance and that six close out letters were not issued as of January 2023 while the monitoring reports for these reviews were issued over 200 days prior. However, LWC does not concur with the overarching conclusion that its policy does not specifically address timeliness requirements for closeout letters.A closeout letter is not generated to a subrecipient unless all findings identified in the monitoring report have been resolved. When findings are identified in the monitoring report, subrecipients are given the opportunity to clear those findings by submitting a Corrective Action Plan (CAP). A CAP is the subrecipient?s opportunity to address the cause of the findings and provide LWC with a well thought-out plan not only address the cause of the finding but to implement steps to prevent findings of that nature in the future. Until the CAP is submitted, all steps executed, and a determination that the finding has been resolved, a closeout letter will not be issued.If a subrecipient submits a CAP, LWC periodically reviews the CAP with the subrecipient to determine whether sufficient steps are being taken toward resolution of the finding(s). If at some point, it is determined that resolution is not attainable, an initial determination is then issued.For the time period covering the Single Audit, LWC?s policy provided for the following:? Within 45 days of issuance of the monitoring report, the subrecipient must submit a corrective action plan for all findings listed in the monitoring report.? Within 30 days of receiving the corrective action plan from the subrecipient, LWC would notify the subrecipient of acceptance or rejection of the corrective action plan.The next step in the process, as articulated in LWC?s policy is the initial determination.? Three subrecipients had findings on the monitoring reports stemming from a lack of documentation supporting the subrecipients? drawdowns of WIOA funds and drawdowns of federal funds could not be reconciled by LWC to the subrecipients accounting records. The monitoring reports noted potential questioned cost associated with these drawdowns. These reviews are included in the six monitoring reports not issued as of January 2023, noted in the bullet above. Timely resolution would allow LWC to quickly address any compliance issues at the subrecipients? level. According to LWC, it is working with the subrecipients to reconcile the federal funds drawdowns and close out the reports.? LWC received unorganized data from the subrecipients. In response to LWC?s request for financial documentation such as general ledgers, balance sheets, expenditure reporting, invoices, etc., subrecipients basically did a data dump. There was no legend or other identifying information associated with the data that was submitted and opening each unidentified file, reviewing it and trying to identify it with thousands of transaction for 15 subrecipients proved tedious, time-consuming and confusing. In an effort to stick as closely as possible to very tight timelines, LWC issued a finding within the monitoring report anticipating that the finding would compel the subrecipients to work with LWC to resolve the differences. As a result of issuing these findings the subrecipients developed corrective action plans to resolve the differences in the drawdown reconciliations. LWC created internal control documents to assist in the organization of material received from the subrecipients. The documents will be utilized when performing the review of the financial portions of the monitoring.Documents that were created include:REQUEST FOR DOCUMENTS - The ?Request for Documents? is a document that details for the subrecipient how documents are to be submitted and labeled. Attached is a copy of the Request for Documents and a detail of the new layout of how the documents are to be uploaded. Portions of the corrective action plan were omitted due to character limitations; See Corrective Action Plan for attachment.INTERNAL CONTROL QUESTIONNAIRE - The ?Internal Control Questionnaire? is a series of queries that helps LWC understand the structure and workflow of the subrecipient. Attached is a copy of the Internal Control Questionnaire. Portions of the corrective action plan were omitted due to character limitations; See Corrective Action Plan for attachment.The new format has significantly reduced the amount of time to complete the financial monitoring of the subrecipient.

Dear Mr. Waguespack,Please find below our management response to the audit finding "Noncompliance with Subrecipient Monitoring Requirements".The University does not concur that this is a second consecutive year finding, but in fact the same one from FY2021.The completion of FY2021 audit and the start of FY2022 audit did not allow the University time in between to correct the FY2021 finding.The following is timeline for the FY2021 finding.? Notification of potential finding was issued on 5/26/22.? Preliminary response request was issued on 5/26/2022.? Preliminary finding response was submitted on 6/2/2022.? Audit response request letter was submitted on 6/6/22.?

Finding Number 2022-206: The Department did not complete required subrecipient monitoring of the Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ESSER) Fund of the Education Stabilization Fund.Federal Programs:84.425U - Education Stabilization Fund ? ARPA ESSER III84.425D - Education Stabilization Fund - Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief Fund84.425W - Education Stabilization Fund - ARPA ESSER - Homeless Children and Youth84.425R - Education Stabilization Fund - Emergency Assistance for Non-Public SchoolsRelated to Prior Finding: 2021-204Agency?s view: The Department agrees with this finding.Corrective Action: It was not until the end of the 2022 legislative session that spending authority was given to the State Department of Education to use ARP ESSER Sincerely, administrative funds to hire additional staff to meet the robust requirements identified by the U.S. Department of Education. Up to that point, only one full-time person was handling all of the needs associated with ESSER funds. Since then, two positions have been hired. The ESSER Data and Reporting Coordinator began in April 2022, and the ESSER Monitoring Coordinator began in June 2022. While developing the monitoring procedures began in July 2022, it was after the audit timeframe. The Department now has in place all ESSER monitoring policies and procedures and will complete year one monitoring before May 5, 2023.Anticipated Corrective Action Date: May 2023Responsible for Corrective Action: Gideon Tolman, Chief Financial Officergtolman@sde.idaho.gov 208-332-6874

Finding Number 2022-210: The Department did not review subrecipient application information for Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds at a sufficient level to identify missing information from required documentation.Federal Program: 21.027 - Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery FundsRelated to Prior Finding: N/AAgency?s view: The Department agrees with this finding.In the rush to respond to emergency needs during the pandemic and the non-traditional format these funds were distributed, the Department neglected to properly review and hold incomplete attestation applications. The attestation application process was specifically developed under the pandemic, was a new process for staff, and was during the time period of transitioning from DUNS to Unique Identifier. Additionally, staff not typically involved in the subrecipient process approved the applications for payment and did not know to hold payments if the unique identifier field was blank. Finally, attestation documents did not route through the traditional internal processes where controls would have identified the gap. After funds were distributed and the misstep was realized, the Department verified Unique Identifiers through SAMS registration or by reaching out directly to the hospitals for documented proof. At the time of the audit, we did not have documentation of a unique identifier for two (2) hospitals out of the forty-three (43) awarded, but that information has subsequently been obtained.The attestation process has since been discontinued. Internal controls are in place as the Department procurement policy; staff are trained to check SAM.gov on all subrecipients. Additionally, internal forms needed to execute a subrecipient agreement require documentation of the Unique Identifier. If the Unique Identifier field is left blank, the Department Contracts and Procurement Unit will not process the agreement request. This finding was a result of a new process and untrained staff pulled into the rapid dispersal of COVID funds.Corrective Action: Corrective action is complete. Internal controls are in place as the Department procurement policy; staff are trained to check SAM.gov on all subrecipients. Additionally, internal forms needed to execute a subrecipient agreement require documentation of the Unique Identifier. If the Unique Identifier field is left blank, the Department Contracts and Procurement Unit will not process the agreement request.
