Program: Homeland Security Grant Program Federal Financial Assistance Listing Number: 97.067 Federal Grantor: U.S. Department of Homeland Security Passed-Through: California Office of Emergency Services Award No. and Year: 2019-0035 and 2020; 2020-0095 and 2021 Compliance Requirements: Subrecipient...
Program: Homeland Security Grant Program Federal Financial Assistance Listing Number: 97.067 Federal Grantor: U.S. Department of Homeland Security Passed-Through: California Office of Emergency Services Award No. and Year: 2019-0035 and 2020; 2020-0095 and 2021 Compliance Requirements: Subrecipient Monitoring Type of Finding: Significant Deficiency in Internal Control and Instance of Noncompliance Criteria: 2 CFR section 200.332(b), Requirements for Pass-Through Entities, states that all pass-through entities must evaluate each subrecipient?s risk of noncompliance with Federal statues, regulations and the terms and conditions of the subaward for purpose of determining the appropriate subrecipient monitoring. Condition: During our testing of Homeland Security Grant Program (HSGP) of the Sheriff-Coroner department?s provisions for evaluating subrecipient?s risk of noncompliance with Federal statutes, regulations and the terms and conditions of the subaward, we noted for two (2) of two (2) subrecipients selected, the required evaluation of the subrecipient?s risk of noncompliance was not documented. Further, onsite reviews were not performed. Cause: The Sheriff-Coroner department did not adhere to established policies and procedures relating to documentation of the risk assessment when a subrecipient contract is awarded. With respect to onsite reviews, these were not performed due to COVID restrictions. Effect: There is an increased risk that the monitoring procedures performed may not address the subrecipient?s risk of noncompliance. Questioned Costs: No questioned costs were identified as a result of our procedures. Context/Sampling: The entire population of two (2) subrecipients were selected for subrecipient monitoring testing from the Sheriff-Coroner department for the Homeland Security Grant Program. Repeat Finding from Prior Years: No. Recommendation: We recommend that the Sheriff-Coroner department follow the implemented policies and procedures to ensure that the required evaluation of the subrecipient?s risk of noncompliance be documented in accordance with 2 CFR section 200.332(b). Management Response and Corrective Action: Sheriff-Coroner?s Department: 1. Person Responsible: Yumi Leung, Supervising Grants Manager 2. Corrective action plan: The Sheriff-Coroner Department will complete a pre-award risk assessment form at the time the subrecipient is notified of a subaward. The Sheriff-Coroner Department resumed subrecipient monitoring visits starting January 2023. Going forward, if on-site visits are not possible, virtual meetings with subrecipients will be conducted. 3. Anticipated Implementation date: June 2023
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: 2201CAFOST and 2022, 2101CAFOST and 2021 Compliance Requirements: Subrecipient Monitorin...
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: 2201CAFOST and 2022, 2101CAFOST and 2021 Compliance Requirements: Subrecipient Monitoring Type of Finding: Material Weakness in Internal Control over Compliance and Material 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 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. 21/22 ? 115 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.? Condition: The County did not have any formal controls or procedures in place for subrecipient monitoring for the Foster Care program. Cause: The County did not maintain procedures to monitor the activities of each subrecipient, or verify that every subrecipient is audited, as required. Effect: The County did not maintain policies and procedures to align with the Subrecipient Monitoring requirements in 2 CFR 200.332 and did not comply with subrecipient monitoring requirements related to the program. Questioned Costs: No questioned costs were identified as a result of our procedures. Context/Sampling: A nonstatistical sample of eight (8) out of 53 subrecipients were sampled, which included six (6) FFA, and two (2) 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: No. Recommendation: We recommend that the County implement policies and procedures in accordance with 2 CFR 200.332 to ensure compliance with subrecipient monitoring requirements. Management Response and Corrective Action: Social Services Agency: 1. Person Responsible: Kristi Fiskum, Deputy Division Director, Family Assessment & Shelter Services and Karen Vu, Administrative Manager II, Contracts Services 2. Corrective action plan: SSA will revise its current Subrecipient Monitoring Policy in accordance with 2 CFR 200.332 to ensure compliance with subrecipient monitoring requirements. SSA will include procedures for verifying that every subrecipient is audited and a monitoring checklist will be developed to track activities. 3. Anticipated Implementation date: July 1, 2023

Finding Number: 2022-012 Federal Program, Assistance Listing Number and Name: ALN 21.027, Department of Treasury, COVID-19 Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Fund (CSLFRF) Condition: Original Finding Description: The CSLFRF subrecipient agreements did not include the CSLFRF assistance Listing Number (ALN) as required per 2 CFR 200.332 (a)(1)(xii). Contact Person Responsible for Corrective Action: Sandra Yu Stahl and Terri Daniels Anticipated completion date: July 2023 Planned Corrective Action: The City has implemented a process to ensure that all subrecipient agreements contain the Federal ALN as required by 2 CFR 200.332. All subrecipient agreements will include a new exhibit as an attachment in the agreement that will include the ALN and any other required grant elements.
Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions: The County should review the monitoring plan related to the program to ensure these procedures are done timely and meet the federal requirements for monitoring subrecipients.

Finding: 2022-001 ? Material Weakness, Compliance and Internal Control over Compliance, Subrecipient Monitoring ? ALN 21.027 Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds Personnel Responsible for Corrective Action: Pam Noonan, Mesa County Finance Director Anticipated Completion Date: 12/31/2023 Cause: Mesa County embarked on the usual funding methodology of capitalizing on private investments in our low-income community, whereby a much-needed training facility and daycare is nonexistent, by utilizing New Market Tax Credits. Due to the complexity of the arrangement and the lack of adequate information provided by consultants, determinations and documentation of the subrecipient did not occur prior to granting funds to the recipient organization. View of Responsible Officials: Mesa County agrees with the finding and has put together a corrective action plan for the finding. Planned Corrective Action: Mesa County will develop procedures and educate County departments in order to ensure compliance with the grant management policy and subrecipient language included therein. Mesa County will formally communicate with the subrecipient organization the necessary Federal award identifiers and expected continued compliance and required documentation during the performance period.

View of Responsible Officials NHED concurs with the finding identified in section A. This was an oversight on the part of NHED, and a process has been implemented to ensure that when the GAN template is generated, there is a review by 2 separate staff members to ensure all required elements on the GAN are complete. NHED concurs with the finding identified in Section B. The previous Division Director of Learner Support, without understanding the unintended consequences, required that the IDEA allocations be uploaded in separate installments instead of including the full year award amount. This led to a GAN generation that included only the first installment. This procedure has since been corrected and NHED is now uploading the full year allocation amount in GMS, this will then generate a GAN that reflects the full year grant amount. If a reallocation does occur, there is a review by 2 separate staff members to ensure that the amount is verified and that a new GAN is manually generated to include that verified amount, and then the GAN is reissued to the recipient.

View of Responsible Officials The Department acknowledges the misinterpretation of the agreement as a subaward has led to a failure to comply with 2 CFR section 200.332(a). Underlying this misinterpretation was the Department?s failure to differentiate between entering into agreements with other state agencies and entities recognized as component units of state government such as the NH Business Finance Authority; noting agreements between state agencies would not require such compliance. Accordingly, the Department will review existing policies and procedures related to subawarding and subrecipient monitoring to ensure agreements with component units of state government are properly considered. Additionally, the Department will amend the existing agreement to ensure required award information is communicated and ensure all other subrecipient monitoring protocols are applied to the subaward.

View of Responsible Officials The State largely concurs with the findings and recommendations and has either implemented procedures to address the identified conditions already or will do so. With regard to condition A(a) and (b), although the State illustrated that it includes clauses related to allowed costs in its subawards, including direct and indirect costs, it will work to ensure that agencies entering into such agreements clearly indicate the terms required by Uniform Guidance, including permitted indirect cost rates and whether the award is for R&D. With regard to condition B, the State agrees that risk assessments should have been completed and has since implemented a framework to help ensure that agencies are more consistently conducting and documenting subrecipient risk assessments. With regard to condition C, the State concurs and has already implemented an agency-wide framework to help ensure procedures and policies are in place concerning Uniform Guidance Report review and the issuance of any necessary management decision letters, to the extent required. It is worth noting that the State in most cases has timely conducted risk assessments of subrecipients and reviewed relevant Uniform Guidance Reports, but its corrective actions will result in better documentation and more consistent and timelier follow through. Anticipated Completion Date: The corrective actions indicated above relative to conditions B and C have already been implemented as of the date of this response. The State will work to address Condition A before the end of the current Fiscal Year. Contact Person: Chase Hagaman and Steve Giovinelli
View of Responsible Officials The State concurs in part with the findings and recommended action.

View of Responsible Officials The State concurs in part with the findings and recommended action. The State?s HAF program fully launched in March 2022 of the Fiscal Year under review, which ended June 30, 2022. On the whole, a more robust subrecipient monitoring framework and process is being implemented during the current Fiscal Year for this program. However, the State has engaged in thorough monitoring of its subrecipient, receiving and reviewing recurring biweekly and quarterly reports. As noted, discussion of those reports takes place during weekly conversations with the subrecipient. However, the State has acknowledged that it needs to more formally memorialize the substance of such conversations to demonstrate such review. This change in protocol and procedure has already been implemented during this Fiscal Year. The State has also engaged in a subrecipient risk assessment and review of audited financials for the purposes of uniform guidance report review. However, its process and protocols will be revised to better demonstrate when such reviews/assessments take place moving forward. Moreover, the State relies on its subrecipient to facilitate the State?s HAF program, which includes collecting and processing data, as outlined in the program?s policy guide manual. A key feature of that process is a detailed quality control protocol. Additionally, during this Fiscal Year, the State engaged in a robust, on-site review of the subrecipient?s quality control protocols and methods, including applicant file review, and found them satisfactory and reliable. The State also works closely with its subrecipient during the quarterly and annual U.S. Treasury reporting processes, which involves reviewing and analyzing data provided by the subrecipient for reporting purposes. This review and the resulting communications can result in corrections to data prior to submission to U.S. Treasury. Corrective Action and Anticipated Completion Date: As of this response, the State has already implemented several corrective actions that align with the recommendations above, including documentation of report review during weekly calls with the subrecipient, timestamping procedures for uniform guidance report review, and on site, detailed review of quality control protocols that involved applicant file review. The State will further ensure that such updated protocols and procedures are memorialized in the Programs? transaction processing memo during its Q1 2023 update, including any protocols necessary to ensure timely issuance of any required management decisions relative to the subrecipient.

View of Responsible Officials The State concurs in part with the findings and concurs in part with the recommendations. Given that CARES Act CRF is a funding source that is no longer eligible for use because program obligations were required to be entered into by December 31, 2021, and program expenditures complete by September 30, 2022, there are no ongoing CRF funded projects or programs. As a result, any corrective actions would relate to ensuring any other federal funding sources are achieving compliance requirements. With regard to condition A, the State partially concurs. Federal guidance concerning CARES Act CRF did not allow for charging indirect costs. That guidance indicated ?Payments from the Fund are not administered as part of a traditional grant program and the provisions of the Uniform Guidance, 2 CFR part 200, that are applicable to indirect costs do not apply. Recipients may not apply their indirect costs rates to payments received from the Fund.? Thus, awardees and recipients of funds were not permitted to charge indirect costs against CARES Act CRF. However, the state acknowledges inclusion of language specifically acknowledging the disallowance of indirect costs could have been included in the agreements. With regard to condition B, the State concurs. The four identified subrecipients were awardees of a program that was facilitated at the very end of CARES Act CRF eligibility for the period of performance. This program was run due to updated guidance by U.S. Treasury on December 14, 2021, that extended the deadline for expenditure of funds so long as obligations were entered into by December 31, 2021. That program largely resulted in direct beneficiary awards, but due to the nature of some expenditures awarded some entities received a subaward. Those subawards identified a brief timeline for project completion, between December 2021 and September 2022. Most projects were completed in February and March, with two of the subrecipients finalizing projects in September. Given the nature and timing of the program, those subawardees were closely monitored and regularly interacted with the State in order to receive reimbursement for eligible expenses and complete projects. The State can provide documentation of that monitoring and expense review. However, formal risk assessments were not initially done for those entities. Since then, the State has implemented policies and procedures that help ensure risk assessments are completed for all subrecipients, regardless of the nature of the program. With regard to condition C, the State concurs and has already implemented corrective actions to ensure procedures and policies are in place concerning Uniform Guidance Report review and the issuance of any necessary management decision letters to the extent required and where this deficiency could impact any other sources of federal funding. It is worth noting that the State in most cases has timely conducted risk assessments of subrecipients and reviewed relevant Uniform Guidance Reports, but its corrective action will result in better documentation of that process and protocol. Anticipated Completion Date: The corrective actions indicated above have already been implemented as of the date of this response. Contact Person: Steve Giovinelli and Chase Hagaman

Name of Contact Person: Niki Easley, Director HIV/AIDS Initiative Management Response:The subrecipient in question has been rendering services under the HIV Care Formula Grant for a span of over 20 years. Throughout this period, UWGN has experienced no performance or fiscal-related concerns with this subrecipient. Unfortunately, the subrecipient suffered catastrophic damage due to a natural disaster at their office space. Consequently, this has caused delays in obtaining the required audit due to the process of document recovery and relocation of office space. Given the circumstances faced by the subrecipient and their historical performance under the grant, UWGN made a decision to consider the Federal Form 990 as sufficient information temporarily. This measure was taken to prevent any additional negative impacts on the subrecipient?s operations until the completion of their audited financials. Corrective Action: The subrecipient is expected to receive their audited financials for 2021 and 2022 by Fall of 2023. UWGN will thoroughly review their audited report to identify any potential issues concerning the HIV Care Formula Grant, and if deemed necessary, appropriate actions will be taken. As of October 2022, UWGN has implemented a policy requiring an annual agency eligibility review process for all funded agencies, including subrecipients receiving fund through government grant from UWGN. This process ensures ongoing compliance and accountability for all parties involved. Proposed Completion Date: September 30, 2023
