U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Program Name: Maternal and Child Health Services Block Grant Federal Assistance Listing Number: 93.994 Significant Deficiency, Nonmaterial Noncompliance – Reporting Finding 2025-010 – Repeat Finding Criteria or Specific Requirement: Per Section 200.303 of the Uniform Grant Guidance, 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. Per 2 CFR 200.334 the recipient must retain all federal award records for three years from the date of submission of their final financial report. Condition: During the audit we tested 9 reports and noted the following: a) There was one (1) instance out of (9) nine reports tested where the submitted reports were unable to be provided, including the date of submission for the reports. b) There were four (4) instances out of nine (9) reports tested where the County was unable to provide evidence the report was reviewed prior to submission. c) There were two (2) instances out of nine (9) reports tested where the County was unable to provide the date of submission for the reports. Questioned Costs: None of the nonmaterial noncompliance items resulted in questioned costs. Effect: By not having the required documentation and underlying support, the County is not able to demonstrate compliance with the applicable requirements. Cause: The County did not have a formal policy to ensure documentation was retained to evidence review and submission of all reports. Recommendation: While the County made updates to policies and procedures surrounding reporting during the current year to address the prior year finding, the County should ensure these policies are adhered to ensure all submitted reports and underlying data are retained in accordance with the Uniform Grant Guidance requirements. Views of Responsible Officials: Management agrees with the finding and is implementing procedures to correct this which is further discussed in the Corrective Action Plan. Corrective Action Plan: As of July 2025, The Health Department has created and adopted policy FIS-05 Retention of Reporting Requirement Submissions to ensure that federal award reports and data are retained in accordance with Uniform Guidance. The Health Department will document with screen shots as outlined in the FIS-05 Policy, to address circumstances when the required report consists of answering a NCDHHS survey or form that does not have “save” or “download” capability, to maintain record of documented submissions. In addition, the Health Department has developed a standard operating procedure whereby fiscal compliance Management Analysts, in collaboration with Program Managers, ensure they have reviewed federal award reports prior to submission and file documentation of review and approvals. While review of grant reports is common, the Health Department did not have adequate documentation to demonstrate completion of this step prior to July 2025. An additional training, to be recorded, will be held with program staff Friday December 19th, 2025.

OMES acknowledges that OMES did not implement the proper internal controls and oversight of the ERA Program during FY2024. However, OMES has taken steps to correct these findings and follow the recommendations set forth by SAI in these findings. Beginning with FY2025, OMES has taken the following measures: • OMES disagrees that they had sufficient and timely notice to make full corrective actions prior to this FY2024 audit for the following reasons: the FY2021 State auditor & Inspector (SAI) audit was released four days prior to the beginning of FY2024, the FY2022 SAI audit was released near the end of FY2025, and the FY2023 audit was released in FY2026; therefore, OMES could not take corrective action prior to the FY2024 audit began. At the beginning of FY2025, OMES began corrective measures as noted in SAI’s Condition and Context in this finding. • OMES acknowledges OMES subrecipient monitoring process lacked the strength and consistency to ensure subrecipients established and maintained effective internal control. However, OMES has taken steps to correct these findings and follow the recommendations set forth by SAI as noted in SAI’s Condition and Context in this finding. Beginning with FY2025, OMES has taken the following measures:  Oversight and management of the ERA program has been transferred to the OMES Grant Management Office (OMES-GMO) which has staff with several years of grant experience. OMES-GMO has recently hired additional staff, and the two staff members dedicated to the management of the ERA program have 20+ years of combined federal grant specific experience.  OMES ensured that the subrecipient agreement included all the required terms under the ERA Program and that the agreement does not expire, OMES-GMO and the Communities of Foundation of Oklahoma (CFO) executed an updated Subrecipient Grant Agreement Amendment that details the responsibilities of OMES to monitor CFO and the duties and processes that CFO must follow in regard to ERA Program, including detailed cash management policies.  OMES-GMO required the return of the remaining ERA2 Program funds from CFO to ensure proper oversight and review of ERA expenditures is performed.  OMES-GMO has in place a multi-level system of internal controls for grant management and oversight that includes routine monitoring, desk review, and site visits for all projects and associated project/administrative expenditures to ensure allowability, accuracy, and assist in the detection of fraud. For example, OMES-GMO’s process for disbursing funds to a subrecipient requires a written request from the subrecipient with supporting documentation, then OMES-GMO assigns a staff lead and secondary grant analyst to perform a primary and secondary review for compliance and to require additional supporting documentation if needed to approve the request. Once those reviews are completed and approved by the OMES-GMO staff, the Director of the OMES-GMO must approve the request before it is sent to the OMES Finance Division, who will then verify the calculated amount(s) before completing the disbursement to the subrecipient. These internal controls and policies have been implemented for the management and oversight of the ERA Program and provide a multilayer review that will prevent fraud and risk factors applicable to the ERA program. Additionally, the OMES-GMO staff assigned to the ERA program have the training and knowledge to ensure compliance with the Federal grant requirements.  Depending on the level of risk, OMES-GMO conducts monthly, bi-weekly or weekly meetings with each subrecipient to monitor the progress of projects and address any issues or changes that might impact the project. For the ERA Program, OMESGMO conducted bi-weekly monitoring meetings with CFO and reviewed documentation provided by CFO to ensure all ERA projects were eligible under the ERA guidelines and that CFO exercised the proper oversight over their subrecipients and spending.

Finding Number 2024-075 Subject Heading (Financial) or AL no. and program name (Federal) ALN: 21.027 Federal Program name: Coronavirus State And Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (CSLFRF) Planned Corrective Action Office of Management and Enterprise Services – Grants Management Office Response: OMES-GMO respectfully disagrees with several conclusions contained in this finding. The finding concludes that the transfer of CSLFRF funds to the twenty-two (22) state agencies does not create a subrecipient relationship because OMES and the agencies are part of the same State of Oklahoma Single Audit. OMESGMO respectfully disagrees with this conclusion. Pursuant to 62 O.S. § 255.1, “The Legislature authorizes the Office of Management and Enterprise Services to manage federal APRA funds by requiring all receiving entities known as subrecipients to sign a grant agreement. Any entity, without exception, including state agencies receiving an appropriation from the Statewide Recovery Fund or a similar fund with federal requirement attached to its use shall have a fully executed grant agreement in place within sixty (60) days after enactment of any legislation that appropriates funding from the Statewide Recovery Fund of the State Treasury created in Section 1, Chapter 319, O.S.L. 2022, and be in compliance with such agreement before a disbursement can be made.” Under this statutory framework, each agency enters into a Grant Agreement with OMES and is subject to grant-specific terms and conditions, reporting requirements, monitoring, and ongoing oversight. Accordingly, OMES has administered the CSLFRF grant in accordance with state law and consistent with its responsibilities as the State's designated pass-through entity since the inception of the program. The authorization from the Oklahoma State Legislature has provided for a much more extensive oversight of the state entity subrecipients than would exist if OMES followed the model suggested by SAI, as OMES would not be subject to the subrecipient monitoring Federal regulation under 2 CFR § 200.332, for these state entities. By following the state law passed by the Legislature, OMES monitors each state entity subrecipient, and in turn, has signed a grant agreement with these state entity subrecipients that requires them to do the same for any of their subrecipients that are administering projects set out specifically by the State Legislature through appropriation bills. OMES requests SAI to revisit the position that these state entities are not OMES’ subrecipients and consider the implications that if OMES were to treat the state entities as non-subrecipients, OMES would be in direct defiance of state law. OMES-GMO also disagrees with the conclusion that sufficient supporting documentation was unavailable for several of the transactions identified in this finding. OMESGMO is committed to strong documentation standards, reimbursement review procedures, and project oversight to ensure continued compliance with applicable federal and state requirements. Despite OMES-GMO’s request to be included in audit communication with the state entities, SAI’s documentation requests for the sampled expenditures were directed primarily to the individual agencies. Several agencies experienced staffing changes during the audit period, resulting in inconsistencies in responding to documentation requests and, in some instances, uncertainty regarding the specific information being requested by the auditors. In multiple cases, the supporting documentation ultimately existed and was available but was either maintained by OMES-GMO or inadvertently omitted from the agency's initial submission. If OMES-GMO was afforded the opportunity to submit or explain documentation maintained by its office before the finding was finalized, both the administering agency and OMES-GMO would have been able to provide a more complete record for evaluation and may have altered the conclusions reached for certain transactions. OMES-GMO has had recent conversations with SAI regarding this issue, and are encouraged by the willingness of SAI to be open to working with OMES-GMO to facilitate a different process for future audits that involves a coordinated with both the administering agency and OMES-GMO so that auditors have access to the complete record before audit conclusions are finalized. Agency Responses: Agency 025 – Oklahoma Military Department (OMD) OMD partially concurs with the finding regarding the level of supporting documentation submitted with the vendor's invoices for payment. However, the construction contracts in question were executed using Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) contract structures. Under these contracts, the contractor is responsible for maintaining all subcontractor invoices, material invoices, and supporting financial records associated with each progress payment. The contracts require these records to be retained for the applicable record retention period and made available for review by the agency, State, or federal government upon request. Agency 085 – Oklahoma Broadband Office (OBO) Broadband Mapping / Cross-Grant Expenditures The Oklahoma Broadband Office (OBO) requests the transactional detail associated with these findings to allow the agency to fully evaluate the questioned transactions. While OBO agrees that expenditures must be charged to the appropriate federal funding source and class fund, the office respectfully disagrees that the questioned expenditures represented unallowable supplementation of other federal awards. The contracts included shared deliverables necessary to complete the CSLFRF Broadband Mapping project. During contract administration, OBO identified billing discrepancies involving work performed under multiple grant programs. Following approximately eleven months of negotiations, OBO entered into a settlement agreement with the contractor that limited payment to services actually received and excluded services that were not performed. The resulting payments represented services provided under multiple funding sources and were processed together to accurately reflect work completed during FY2024. Procurement Finding – Lee Consulting Contract OBO concurs with the finding that services began prior to the execution of a purchase order for the April 2023 services. Upon identifying the issue, OBO completed the required ABS Form 009 Ratification Agreement to formally document the procurement exception and properly authorize payment. To prevent future occurrences, OBO has: • Hired a full-time General Counsel to oversee contract administration and procurement compliance. • Implemented a policy prohibiting execution of contracts or commencement of work until a purchase order has been fully approved and funds have been encumbered. • Provided procurement training to management and staff regarding Oklahoma encumbrance requirements. Agency 400 – Office of Juvenile Affairs (OJA) OJA partially concurs with the finding. The agency believes the purchase of a Keurig coffee maker and heater towers by Western Plains falls within the approved project scope for the purchase and installation of furniture, fixtures, and equipment. However, OJA acknowledges that decorative wall art purchased by Youth and Family Services of Hughes and Seminole Counties does not appear to fall within the approved project scope. Agency 452 – Oklahoma Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services (ODMHSAS) ODMHSAS acknowledges the documentation and procurement concerns identified in the finding. Specifically, the agency recognizes that certain invoices lacked sufficient detail describing services performed and that one expenditure required ratification because services were obligated prior to encumbering funds. ODMHSAS agrees that federally funded expenditures should be supported by documentation demonstrating the services performed, the project purpose, and the relationship to the approved scope of work. ODMHSAS also agrees that obligations should not be incurred before a valid purchase order and encumbrance have been established. Agency 619 – Oklahoma Health Care Workers Training Commission (HWTC) During the period associated with the questioned expenditure, the Care Providers program submitted a significant volume of supporting documentation with each reimbursement request, often consisting of 500 to 1,000 pages transmitted through multiple emails over several days. In some instances, the documentation was not organized sequentially, making it difficult to efficiently compile and review the complete reimbursement package. As staff assembled documentation received through multiple transmissions, a portion of the supporting documentation was inadvertently omitted from the reimbursement file maintained by the agency. Consequently, the complete documentation package was not included in the materials submitted to OMES-GMO with the reimbursement request. To address this issue, management revised its documentation review procedures. Rather than requiring agency staff to reorganize incomplete or disorganized submissions, staff are now instructed to return reimbursement packages that are incomplete or not properly organized and require the submitting entity to provide a revised, complete documentation package. This change places responsibility for maintaining complete supporting documentation with the originating entity and has resulted in more organized reimbursement submissions while reducing the risk of incomplete supporting records. Agency 830 – Oklahoma Department of Human Services (DHS) DHS disagrees that the questioned incentive gift cards were outside the approved project scope. The PCCT Fatherhood Today program is designed to strengthen father-parent-child relationships by engaging fathers through education, support services, and community resources. The program targets fathers residing in underserved communities who often face barriers to participation, including transportation, childcare, financial hardship, and food insecurity. The $100 gift cards are provided only after participants successfully complete the twelve-week 24/7 Dad curriculum. The gift cards serve as an incentive to recruit and retain participants and support the program's objective of increasing father engagement. DHS believes the incentives directly support successful program participation and allow participants to obtain essential household items for their families. DHS further noted that participant outcomes are measured through pre- and post-program assessments demonstrating increased knowledge and engagement among participating fathers. Gift cards are purchased using agency purchasing procedures, maintained in secured storage, and distributed only upon successful completion of all program requirements with appropriate documentation maintained for each recipient Anticipated Completion Date OMES: December 31, 2026 025: Completed 085: Completed 400: Completed 452: December 31, 2026 619: December 31, 2026 830: Completed Responsible Contact Person OMES: Elizabeth Base 025: Angela Tackett 085: Beverlee Harbuck 400: Kevin Haddock 452: Chad Carden 619: Kami Fullingim 830: Lindsey Kanaly
