Program: AL 20.509 – Formula Grants for Rural Areas – Allowability & Subrecipient Monitoring Corrective Action Plan: NDOT recently updated the Invoicing Reimbursement Acceptable Documentation Requirement Guidelines. These guidelines offer comprehensive instruction, best practices, and a clearer definition of allowable expenses for subrecipients. The updated guide was distributed to subrecipients in February 2024. Over the next six months, NDOT plans to conduct additional training sessions through opportunities such as the monthly Transit Manager meetings, on-site visits, or webinars with subrecipients. The objective is to ensure a thorough understanding of required documentation and the identification of eligible federal reimbursement expenses. To assist with transit subrecipient monitoring, NDOT management has designated an internal auditor within the Transit Section. The auditor’s focus will be assessing reimbursement documentation, reviewing time studies, evaluating cost allocation plans, developing risk assessment, and helping to intensify monitoring efforts over all subrecipients. NDOT is also in the process of improving and updating the invoice review process to provide consistency for reviewing and approving invoices to enhance accuracy within the Transit Section. Additionally, NDOT has established a dedicated unit “Financial Oversight” within the Transit Section solely focusing on Subrecipient reimbursements. The four staff members in this unit will report directly to Financial Aid Administrator III, this oversight will enhance the quality checks and consistency among subrecipient reimbursements. The Financial Oversight unit will continue to evaluate and refine the operations to ensure federal regulation and required documentation is in place prior to any subrecipient reimbursement.

Program: AL 84.287 – Twenty-First Century Community Learning Centers – Subrecipient Monitoring Corrective Action Plan: The NDE was provided written guidance from the U.S. Department of Education (USED) regarding source documentation required for the NDE’s review of preliminary documentation required to make payment whereas this effort is not associated with the NDE’s Grant Compliance Section performing the fiscal monitoring activities applying the required pass-through activities contained within 2 CFR 200.332. To make payment, the USED guidance states, “Uniform Guidance does not require the NDE to obtain specific source documentation from its subrecipient prior to making payments and the NDE’s Grant Guidance states that for certain reimbursement requests, such as credit card purchases, travel expenses, and personal reimbursements, subrecipient are always required to submit supporting documentation. For other expenditures, including personnel costs, and time and effort certification, supporting documents need to be retained by the subrecipient for at least three years and must be available for auditing and monitoring purposes”. For the reimbursement request tested to make payment, additional source documentation was acquired from the subrecipient upon the APA’s request and submitted for review on March 1, 2024.

Second SPED subrecipient – Because the UNL utilizes PVS as allowed by 2 CFR 200.430 in regard to salary and wage benefit costs for employees working on a project under a contractual grant agreement, the NDE going forward will require PVS supporting documentation be submitted as a minimum semi-annually for each contract to verify the salary and benefit costs being requested for reimbursement as recommended by the U.S. Department of Education beginning with any payments occurring after March 1, 2023. Third SPED subrecipient – The documentation to support the review of purchased services and supplies during fiscal monitoring was provided to the APA on March 4, 2024. Single Audits – The Director of Grants Management and Director of Grants Compliance will work collaboratively to ensure all subrecipient audits are reviewed and applicable management decision letters are issued within the requested timeframe.

2023-001 Program: Foster Care Federal Financial Assistance Listing Number: 93.658 Federal Grantor: U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Pass-Through: California Department of Social Services Award No. and Year: 2301CAFOST and 2023, 2201CAFOST and 2022 Compliance Requirements: Subrecipient Monitoring Type of Finding: Material Weakness in Internal Control over Compliance and Material Instance of Noncompliance Criteria: In accordance with Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 200.332, pass-through entities must comply with the following: • 2 CFR Part 200.332(a), Requirements for Pass-Through Entities, states that all pass- through entities must ensure that every subaward is clearly identified to the subrecipient as a subaward and includes certain information as well as all the requirements imposed by the pass-through entity on the subrecipient so that the Federal award is used in accordance with Federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of the award. • 2 CFR 200.332(b) – Evaluate each subrecipient’s risk of noncompliance for purposes of determining the appropriate subrecipient monitoring related to the subaward. This evaluation of risk may include consideration of such factors listed in 2 CFR 200.332(b)(1) through (4). • 2 CFR 200.332(d) – 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 the information at 2 CFR 200.332(d)(1) through (4). • 2 CFR 200.332(f) – Verify that every subrecipient is audited as required by Subpart F 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. The California Department of Social Services further clarifies in its County Fiscal Letter No. 22/23- 91 that Foster Family Agency (FFA), Group Home, and Short Term Residential Therapeutic Programs (STRTP) are “considered subrecipients and subject to the same audit requirements and require the same degree of oversight as other subrecipients”. Further, while there are some licensing and oversight functions performed by the state over FFAs, group homes, and STRTPs, “counties are still ultimately responsible for review of these audits and their findings, any follow- up to ensure compliance, and any other form of monitoring and oversight required by federal and state laws and regulations.” 2 CFR Section 180.300a, Responsibilities of Participants Regarding Doing Business with Other Persons (and repeated in the California Department of Social Services - County Fiscal Letter No. 21/22 – 115) counties are required to verify that recipients or contracts have not been suspended or debarred by using the federal SAM (Systems for Award Management). Condition: The Social Services Agency (SSA) did not have any formal controls in place for evaluating each subrecipient’s risk of noncompliance or the purpose of determining the appropriate subrecipient monitoring or for subrecipient monitoring for the Foster Care program. Additionally, the following information was not provided at the time of the subaward for ten (10) of fourteen (14) subawards selected for testing from the SSA’s for the Foster Care program: • Subrecipient’s unique entity identifier • Federal award identification number • Federal award date of award to recipient by the Federal agency • Subaward period of performance • Amount of federal funds obligated to the subrecipient • Amount of federal funds committed to the subrecipient • Federal award project description • Name of federal awarding agency • CFDA/Assistance Listing number • Identification of whether the award is research and development • Indirect cost rate During our testing, we noted for four (4) of fourteen (14) subrecipients selected, SSA did not have documentation that the SAM clearance was performed prior to entering the contract with the subrecipient. The County’s policy was to verify the subrecipient was not suspended or debarred prior to entering the contract, but the County did not retain evidence of this check prior to entering the contract. Cause: The SSA’s procedures did not consistently ensure that the required award information and applicable requires were communicated to the subrecipients. The SSA did not follow their procedures to evaluate the risk of noncompliance or monitor the activities of each subrecipient, and the SSA did not maintain documentation of their verification that every subrecipient is audited, as required. Additionally, the SSA department did not follow their policy to retain documentation of the verification of the information prior to entering the contract. Effect: The County’s control policies were not consistently followed which require compliance with the Subrecipient Monitoring requirements in 2 CFR 200.332 and did not comply with subrecipient monitoring requirements related to the program. Additionally, the County’s control policies were not consistently followed, which required documentation of the verification prior to entering the contract. Questioned Costs: No questioned costs were identified as a result of our procedures. Context/Sampling: A nonstatistical sample of fourteen (14) out of seventy (70) subrecipients were sampled, which included seven (7) FFA, and seven (7) STRTP types. The condition noted above was identified during our procedures related to subrecipient monitoring and was pervasive to the program. Repeat Findings from Prior Years: Yes, Finding 2022-002,2022-005 and 2022-006. Recommendation: We recommend that the County adhere to their policies and procedures in accordance with 2 CFR 200.332 to ensure compliance with subrecipient monitoring requirements. We recommend that the County adhere to their procedures requiring documentation of the SAM clearance prior to entering the contract. Management Response and Corrective Action: Social Services Agency: 1. Person Responsible: Kristi Fiskum, Human Services Deputy Director and Karen Vu, Procurement Contract Manager, Senior 2. Corrective Action Plan: SSA has revised its Subrecipient Monitoring Policy in accordance with 2 CFR 200.332 to ensure compliance with subrecipient monitoring requirements and the updated policy was implemented in September 2023. A check list has been developed to track monitoring requirements and was also implemented in September 2023. 3. Anticipated Implementation Date: Fully implemented as of September 2023

Description of Corrective Action Plan: We concur with the findings from the State Audit regarding the 3E grants funds; 2023-002. Our Corrective Action Plan would consist of the following:  Before ESF funds are dispersed to school districts (subrecipients), the WVEC Grant Director will ask districts for proper documentation such as receipts, college entrance letters, staff documented timesheets to support their request for funding.  The WVEC Grant Director will monitor the activities of the subrecipients to ensure that the financial subaward is used for authorized purposes, complies with the terms and conditions of the subaward, and achieves performance goals of the grant.  Once the school district’s information and documentation is received and approved, grant funding will be dispersed. Both the Service Center Executive Director and WVEC Grant Manager will approve and sign off on any payment made to a subrecipient.  On a biannual basis (periods ending June 30 and December 31), West Lafayette School Corporation will request the monitoring documentation from WVEC to ensure that proper monitoring is taking place. The WVEC Grant Director will create a sub-grantee reporting procedure:  Monthly spreadsheet with district allowable expense and sign off by Grant Manager, WVEC Executive Director and WVEC Treasurer approval.  This will take place every pay period to monitor the disbursement of any federal funds and to ensure that they are used for allowable expenditures under the grant.  This monitoring will begin in the month of March 2024 and continue until the end of the grant or Final Report, December 31, 2024. This procedure will also be used for other federal grants received.  On a biannual basis (periods ending June 30 and December 31), West Lafayette School Corporation will request the monitoring documentation from WVEC to ensure that proper monitoring is taking place. Anticipated Completion Date: Monthly monitoring will begin promptly (March 2024) and end with the final report of 3E grant activities on December 31, 2024.

Condition: The College did not have a control system in place to monitor performance measures as outlined in the subrecipient and grant agreements. The College was also not completing any site visits of the subrecipients or requiring annual financial reporting be submitted. Planned Corrective Action: Below are three items implemented to address the subrecipient monitoring requirement: 1. To address the finding of noncompliant subrecipient agreements, Grand Rapids Community College has implemented a new Grants Administration Guide. This guide can be found on the Grand Rapids Community College website. 2. To address the finding of lack of progress monitoring, subrecipient partners have been given monthly metric reports which include planned vs actual outcomes as a means of outlining their progress. The reports also include historical data for each category. This information is broken down by month and to be reviewed with subrecipients on a bi-weekly basis. This bi-weekly monitoring will provide oversight and help manage performance. Each grant partner will submit quarterly outreach plans that will be balanced against planned vs actual outcomes. These outreach plans will consist of detailed information highlighting the purpose of the event, target audiences, and updates from previous events. 3. To address the finding of lack of subrecipient monitoring, Grand Rapids Community College has scheduled formal site visits with subrecipients. Within the meetings they will discuss the following topics: Narrative Visit Overview, Financial Status Discussions, Metrics Verification, Narrative Overview, Participant Records and Revenue and Evaluation.

Contact Person Responsible for Corrective Action: Hope Waldbieser, Executive Director of Finance Contact Phone Number and Email Address: 812-237-3524 - hope.waldbieser@indstate.edu Views of Responsible Officials: We concur with the finding that Indiana State University should have completed the Federal Audit Clearinghouse review in a more timely manner. Indiana State University conducted the required review, but it was completed later than allowed by the excerpt of 2 CFR 200.521(d) below. 2 CFR 200.521(d) states in part: “The federal awarding agency or pass-through entity responsible for issuing a management decision must do so within six months of acceptance of the audit report by the FAC. . . . “ Indiana State University did have other aspects of subrecipient monitoring in place related to the review of financial and programmatic reports for the subrecipients. Explanation and Reasons for Disagreement: Description of Corrective Action Plan: Effective January 2024, Indiana State University will update its Subrecipient Monitoring procedures in the following ways to ensure the Federal Audit Clearinghouse is reviewed in a timely manner and that appropriate documentation is maintained. 1. Subrecipient Federal Audit Clearinghouse reviews for prior fiscal year audits will be completed quarterly (July, October, January & April) during each fiscal year. The final Subrecipient Federal Audit Clearinghouse review for prior fiscal year audits will be completed in July after all current fiscal year payments have been made. 2. In order to ensure there is a segregation of duties the Office of Contracts & Grants Director will provide the Executive Director of Finance a report of the completed review each quarter including INDIANA STATE BOARD OF ACCOUNTS 20 the final review in July for their review and approval.

SUBRECIPIENT MONITORING West Virginia Community Advancement and Development (WV CAD) Assistance Listing Number 93.568, COVID-19 93.568 Between the years 2022 and 2023, the Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP) experienced a significant turnover in its staff. As a result of this turnover, the proper adherence to the requirement of 2 CFR 200.332(f) for verifying subrecipients was not followed during the auditing process. To ensure that this requirement is met in the future, WV CAD has taken measures to document the policies and procedures related to the financial audit requirements of 2 CFR 200.332(f) in the current WAP State Plan. A designated team member has been assigned the responsibility of maintaining a comprehensive tracking list, which includes the due dates of audits, their review dates, any necessary subrecipient corrective action plans, the dates of letter correspondence, and the uploading of all relevant documents into the divisions Shared Drive. Additionally, this team member is also responsible for downloading the audits from the Federal Audit Clearinghouse and submitting the information to the Fiscal Monitor for a thorough accounting review. These measures aim to ensure proper compliance and accountability within the Weatherization Assistance Program. This action will be implemented in February 2024.

Recommendation We recommend updating internal policy over subrecipient monitoring and recommend implementation of effective internal controls and procedures over subrecipient monitoring and tracking that allow for compliance with all applicable federal laws, regulations, and compliance requirements of various federal grants. It seems likely that additional monitoring activities are being performed that are not currently being documented in a central location, and therefore we recommend standardizing the documentation of such activities. Management Response Corrective Action: We concur with this finding and the auditor’s recommendation. The Department is in the process of implementing policies and procedures to ensure proper monitoring of subrecipients. This will also include training for both the financial and the grants departments. Subrecipient monitoring tools, such as excel worksheets and checklists are being reviewed and modified to fit the Department’s needs. The complete implementation of the subrecipient policies and processes is expected to be completed June 2024.
