Department: Health and Human Services Title: Internal control over CCDF subrecipient risk evaluation procedures needs improvement Questioned Costs: None Status: Management’s opinion is that corrective action is not required Corrective Action: The Department disagrees with this finding. The Department evaluates risk on its subrecipients for the purpose of determining the appropriate subrecipient monitoring in multiple ways. The first assessment of risk is when a subaward is competitively bid. The second assessment of risk is built into the Maine Uniform Accounting and Auditing Practices for Community Agencies (MAAP) in which higher risk subrecipients undergo a higher level of testing by Independent Public Accountants. Finally, the Social Service Unit of the Division of Audit performs a risk assessment and tests transactions for those subrecipients that have been determined to be higher risk.

Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Health and Human Services State Department/Agency: Kansas Department of Education and Kansas Department of Children and Families Federal Program Name: Temporary Assistance for Needy Families Assistance Listing Number: 93.558 Award Number: 2301KSTANF, 2401KSTANF, and 2501KSTANF Period: October 1, 2023 – September 30, 2025 Compliance Requirement: Subrecipient Monitoring Type of Finding: Significant Deficiency in Internal Control Over Compliance, Other Matters Condition: Subawards issued by the Kansas Department of Education and Kansas Department of Children and Families (Departments) did not include all required subaward information. Subawards underwent suspension and debarment verification from sam.gov but this process was not formally documented. Recommendation: We recommend that the Departments develop a subaward template that includes all required federal award information and update its procedures and internal controls to ensure that all required federal award information is included in subawards at the time of issuance. We recommend that management enhance its procurement procedures to require and retain documented evidence that vendors are verified as not suspended or debarred prior to the award of contracts or payment of federal funds. Maintaining this documentation will help ensure compliance with federal requirements and support the government’s assurance that federal funds are expended only with eligible vendors. Views of responsible officials: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: The Kansas State Department of Education does have a subaward template for use by agency staff that includes space for all required federal award information. Staff managing the Preschool Pilot Program grants to subrecipients will now use this template when awarding funds from TANF. KSDE staff will also contact the Department for Children and Families to ensure KSDE has the appropriate federal award information to include in the grant award notification. Once grant award notifications are issued, KSDE program staff will notify the Department for Children and Families to ensure they have the appropriate information for FFATA reporting. KSDE staff making the subawards will also retain documentation that each vendor was verified as not suspended or debarred prior to issuing the grant award notification. This documentation will include the following: a tracking spreadsheet that will log when the verification took place and by whom, along with taking a screenshot of the webpage when the verification takes place. Additionally, beginning in school year 2026-2027 the assurances signed by subrecipients will have language that require the subrecipient to certify that they are not suspended or debarred.

The Department did not obtain the required audit information (Single Audit or another applicable audit) from its subrecipient during the audit period. Recommendation: We recommend that the Department develop a subaward template that includes all required federal award information and update its procedures and internal controls to ensure that all required federal award information is included in subawards at the time of issuance. Views of responsible officials: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: A subaward template has been created and the ELC program director will ensure that all sub-recipient agreements contain the needed information prior to the start of the budget period.

Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Homeland Security State Department/Agency: Kansas Division of Emergency Management Federal Program Name: Disaster Grants – Public Assistance (Presidentially Declared Disasters) Assistance Listing Numbers: 97.036 Award Period: July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2025 Award Number: Various Compliance Requirement: Subrecipient Monitoring Type of Finding: Significant Deficiency in Internal Control over Compliance, Other Matters Condition: During our testing of subrecipient monitoring, we noted that for certain subawards the Kansas Division of Emergency Management (KDEM) did not timely issue the subaward letter to the subrecipients, which should have been communicated within 30 days of subaward being obligated or before subaward payments were made. Recommendation: We recommend that KDEM continues to implement its corrective action plan from prior year and continue to enhance its internal controls and procedures to ensure that the subaward letter is issued to subrecipients timely to ensure all required federal award information is communicated to the subrecipient at the time of the subaward. Views of responsible officials: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: KDEM Fiscal and Compliance office will continue to implement corrective action plan from SFY24. A report will be downloaded of newly obligated projects from Grants Portal every two weeks to ensure project award letters are created and dropped into the Grants Portal for the applicant within 30 days of obligation. Currently fiscal staff is completing this within days to one week of obligation. Name(s) of the contact person(s) responsible for corrective action: Jennifer Deal, Fiscal & Grants Management Section Chief and Lupe Olaya, Grants Compliance Coordinator Planned completion date for corrective action plan: Currently in place.

Finding No. 2025-003: Subrecipient Monitoring AL No.: 11.029 Program Title: Tribal Broadband Connectivity Program Grant Award Number: NT23TBC0290054 Condition Subaward agreements did not include certain required federal award information. A risk assessment was not performed for the subrecipient prior to execution of the subaward agreement. No evidence of pass-through entity verifying that subrecipients are audited as required by 2 CFR Section 200, Subpart F. DHHL failed to communicate five required pieces of award information to the subrecipient (UH) as mandated by 2 CFR 200.332(a)(1), including: Subrecipient’s unique entity identifier, Subaward Budget Period Start and End Date, Assistance Listing Number (12.017), Identification of whether the award is R&D, Indirect cost rate information (including de minimis rate status). Corrective Action Plan DHHL will implement the following corrective actions to address the identified issues to align subrecipient monitoring in compliance with 2 CFR 200. Subaward and Documentation Corrections: DHHL will review the original federal award and UH agreement, then prepare subaward amendments incorporating all required elements under 2 CFR 200.332(a)(1). DHHL will also obtain UH’s UEI and confirm and document the subaward budget period and assistance listing number. DHHL will also assure all amendments and documents obtain NTIA/NIST approval for any required federal documentation. Risk Assessment and Monitoring: DHHL will conduct and document risk assessment for UH in accordance with 2 CFR 200.332(b). DHHL will then use the risk assessment to determine the appropriate level of subrecipient monitoring. Moving forward, DHHL will integrate the risk assessment requirement prior to any subaward execution. Audit Verification and Compliance: DHHL will verify UH’s single audit status, review and document UH’s Single Audit Report to assess and establish annual monitoring/management procedures. DHHL will implement the same processes for future subrecipients moving forward. Systematic Improvements and Training: DHHL will develop a subaward checklist and standardized subaward template aligned with 2 CFR 200.332 requirements. DHHL plans to implement mandatory compliance and legal review prior to subaward execution. Person Responsible Jaren Tengan, Broadband Coordinator And/or Aislen Bacalso, Broadband Coordination Assistant Anticipated Date of Completion The updated documentation is subject to the completion and approval of Federal Budget Amendments. DHHL is hopeful that NTIA and NIST will provide feedback and approval by June 2026, and DHHL will immediately prepare and submit any additional subaward documentation for the UH Subaward. (Please note this is the first fiscal year DHHL is working with NIST. It is unsure how long budget amendment processes will take.)

We agree with the auditor's comments. The HCEDA has engaged a temporary project manager that is coordinating the collection of quarterly expenses and reports from the subrecipients. Our office of law has drafted an amendment to the agreement that details that the grants were ARPA funds and notes that the subrecipient certifies that they have not been suspended or debarred. This amendment will include an attachment with the complete supplementary conditions applicable to ARPA funded grants. We will have each subrecipient sign the amendment. We anticipate completion of this by March 31, 2026.

The Bureau of Financial Operations (BFO) will continue conducting during-the-award subrecipient monitoring for the SSBG based on the results of the documented risk assessment. As it relates to the cash management portion of the finding, given the relatively small amount of funds involved and the number of counties affected, DHS has determined that it is not economically feasible to change the payment methodology at this time.

TANF Youth Development Program (TANF YDP) operations transitioned from the Bureau of Workforce Development Administration (BWDA) to the Bureau of Workforce Partnerships and Operations (BWPO) in January 2023. Due to this transition, BWPO did not conduct onsite monitoring of the TANF YDP program in program year (PY) 2022. BWPO did begin onsite monitoring in program year 2023 on a limited basis as a pilot with 3 local areas in September of 2024. BWPO conducted expanded monitoring efforts for PY 2024 by aligning TANF YDP monitoring with the WIOA Common Measures Data Validation cycle (larger areas are monitored annually with smaller areas monitored on a 3-year rotating schedule). PYs are July 1st to June 30th. TANF YDP PY 2024 monitoring concluded by January 2026. BWPO provided written communication to local areas within 45 days post monitoring to issue results, concerns, recommendations, and corrective actions as needed. During PY 2025, July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2026, L&I will monitor all 22 subrecipients for both program and fiscal compliance to ensure that the goals and objectives of the subaward are achieved. This will be done in coordination between BWPO and BWDA. Monitoring will then be completed annually. Currently, BWDA does reconcile the TANF Youth Development Partnership Statement of Expenditures of Financial Awards for each of the subrecipients’ single audits, reviews all TANF findings related to the TANF YDP funds and ensures all single audits are received - issuing audit management determinations. The overall goal of monitoring activities is to ensure that TANF YDF funding is used for authorized purposes by subrecipients, in compliance with Federal statutes and regulations, and that the TANF YDP program is being implemented in accordance with current PA Dept. of Labor & Industry’s policies and procedures. BWPO in collaboration with BWDA plans to begin monitoring TANF YDP activities via enhanced desk review monitoring in the spring of 2026 for PY 2025. This effort will be ongoing and moving forward for every subsequent program year either onsite or by enhanced desk review monitoring. PY 2025 monitoring will be completed by 6/30/26 with results issued as a written communication within 45 days of the monitoring completion date.

PDA: The Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture (PDA) Bureau of Food Assistance has already put the following steps in place to address this deficiency and noncompliance finding. 1. As of August 2025, PDA has a documented process to evaluate each subrecipient’s risk of noncompliance with federal statutes, regulations, and the term and conditions of the subaward for purposes of determining appropriate subrecipient monitoring. The evaluation process looks at Key Performance Indicators – such as leadership tenure, prior incidents of food spoilage, complaints, values of USDA Foods and USDA administrative funding – to determine the need for additional or more frequent monitoring. 2. As of October 2025, PDA has implemented a system to document the evaluation of each subrecipient’s risk of noncompliance. This system was used to determine if agencies would receive monitoring reviews throughout Federal Fiscal Year 2026 (October 1, 2025 - September 30, 2026). 3. PDA has been providing FAINs and providing information on applicable requirements at the time of subawards to all TEFAP counties and agencies. However, as the cited CSFP contract pre-dated this finding, the information had not been properly provided to our subrecipient. This has been rectified as of February 2026.
