In response to Finding #2022-001, the Foundation will implement two additional mitigating efforts into the existing processes and procedures to address the conditions in this finding. (1) A Missed Approval report will be generated from the payroll system to identify which hourly employee timecards have not been approved after each pay period. Supervisors will be required to provide approvals on timecards of hourly employees identified in this step. (2) The Foundation will develop a time allocation form to document an after-the-fact review of any budgeted payroll costs allocated to awards to ensure they are reflective of actual time incurred. Such time allocation forms will be required on at least a quarterly basis. These steps will be in place by December 31, 2022. Implementation will be overseen and ensured by Dr. Luis Chiappe, Senior Vice President, Research & Collections, 213-763-3361.

Identifying Number: 2022-007 Finding: Unallowable cost-salary allocation Corrective Actions Taken or Planned: UCAN agrees with this finding and is committed to strengthening internal controls to ensure that amounts are properly reported to the funder. We believe that significant turnover in the finance department led to this deficiency, so we are actively documenting procedures and cross-training employees. All vouchers will also go through a review process before they are sent to the funder. This is a repeat finding, with the original corrective action plan to be completed before June 30, 2023. We do believe that corrective actions that have been taken have resolved this issue. Contact person is Kimberly Parish, Chief Financial Officer and she can be reached at kim.parish@ucanchicago.org.

CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN FINDING 2022-002 Contact Person Responsible for Corrective Action: Heidi Sprunger Contact Phone Number: 260-589-3133 Views of Responsible Official: We concur with the finding the documentation supporting employees? time charged to the Child Nutrition Cluster program for custodians and grant specialist was not properly maintained. However, we disagree that they would be considered an indirect cost according to the definition of indirect cost: (Indirect costs are sometimes referred to as ?overhead costs? and more recently as ?facilities and administrative costs.?) Examples include executive oversight, accounting, grants management, legal expenses, utilities, technology support, and facility maintenance. Description of Corrective Action Plan: The district will evaluate and determine which employees will continue to be charged under the Child Nutrition Cluster Program. Only those employees spending direct physical time in the cafeteria doing work will continue to be under the Child Nutrition Cluster Program. Once identified those employees will be required to fill out a separate time sheet for hours worked under the Child Nutrition Cluster program. Those time sheets will then be approved by the Food Service Director. Once approved they will be submitted to Payroll Coordinator. Anticipated Completion Date: March 20, 2023

Re: 2022 Single Audit Finding Hi Ron, Below is our response to the 2022 Single Audit finding listed in Part 3: Findings and questioned costs ? Major Federal Award Programs Audit; Finding # 2022-001; Criteria: According to 2 CFR 200.430 i(i)(vii) charges to federal awards for salaries and wages must be based on records that accurately reflect the work performed and there should be support to the distributions of the employee?s salary or wages among specific activities or cost objectives if the employee works on more than one Federal award. Condition: In gaining our understanding of controls over payroll, we noted the following control: the majority of the employees at Housing Forward and Subsidiary work for only one grant with the exception of management that may work for two. We viewed 40 timesheets related to the CoC program of which twelve showed the employee working for multiple grants but did not include the number of hours worked for each program on the timesheet, it was tracked through management and staff. Cause: The timesheets that were missing a breakdown of time and effort applied to each grant did not have a detailed tracking of hours by grants to remind employees to allocate their time by grant. The allocation was made based on a percentage rather than the actual time worked. Effect: The hours charged to a program could be under or overstated based budget compared to actual hours that should be documented on the timesheets. Response ? Management Employees have transitioned to submitting time and effort bi-weekly within the ADP payroll system to ensure timeliness of allocation of wages. Hours will be reported based on actual time worked in projects, even when employees are working in a single project. These hours are used to allocate salaries and wages and unpaid time off bi-weekly. Fringe benefits will be allocated on a monthly basis using the allocation of hours for that month. Allocation of hours and coding is reviewed by the Finance department for accuracy and allowance before submittal of payroll. If changes are needed after processing, Finance staff will work with staff to correct time and effort reporting through a manual time and effort report.

Condition: In our sampling of payroll expenditures charged to the program, we noted one employee's wage rate charged to the grant was not updated consistent with the employee's wage rate increase paid in their payroll. As a result, the incorrect amount of payroll costs was charged to the program (undercharged).

Auditors? Recommendation: The auditor recommends that the District implement controls for documenting and retaining information to indicate the District follows the requirements over 2 CFR section 200.430(i). Action Taken: The district will expand the internal controls over the timekeeping and payroll processes by requiring all employee pay applications for the Child Nutrition program be reviewed and approved by the Human Resources Department. A schedule of Pay Rates will be created and submitted to the Board of Education for formal approval, along with the other Salary Schedules approved with the annual budget. In addition, the district is moving to an electronic timekeeping system that will eliminate the use of paper timesheets that must be manually processed for payroll purposes. All Board approved pay rates will be programmed into the electronic timekeeping system so that the need for manual pay rate entry and gross pay calculations will be eliminated.

The allocation of costs between our two federal programs and other programs are made by the Program Director or after discussion between the Program Director and the Federal Grant Manager; then communicated to the accountant. In addition, our accountant has the program knowledge and ability to question cost allocations. Beginning mid-September, 2023, the basis for allocations will be documented on an invoice or other supporting documents. Effective June 2023, weekly payroll time records allocating hours to projects and programs are prepared by each employee. Those time records are approved by the Program Director or the Treasurer, as appropriate. The allocations are then reviewed by the Federal Grant Manager and entered bi-weekly into the accounting records.

Finding 2022-005: Activities Allowed and Allowable Costs Federal Agency Name: Department of Health and Human Services CFDA #93.829 Program Name: Section 223 Demonstration Programs to Improve Community Mental Health Services Finding Summary: Employees did not enter all nonfederal hours within the ClickTime system and the secondary review of the employee ClickTime timecards did not identify the missing hours. In addition, the secondary review of federal grant expenditure tracking spreadsheet did not identify the calculation errors. The Center?s controls did not detect or correct the errors identified, which results in a reasonable possibility that the Center could submit disallowed costs under the federal awards and would not be able to detect and correct noncompliance in a timely manner. A sample of expenditures selected for testing, noted the following items: a) ClickTime timecard, which tracks federal and nonfederal hours for employees, did not properly reflect the employees total federal and nonfederal hours being paid within the payroll register (7 instances). b) Calculation errors for expenses allocated to the grant (2 instances). Responsible Individuals: Staff Supervisors (Abbie Tesch, Amber Utesch, Christina Eggink-Postma, Karen Rosengreen, Jason Low, Missy Martini, Rebecca McCrackin, Sarah Heinrichs, Stephanie Pohar) and Project Accounts Manager (Marsha Bomgaars) Corrective Action Plan: Staff supervisors are to compare ClickTime entries with payroll system entries to ensure they match. The Project Accounts Manager will compare all ClickTime reports and payroll reports to ensure they match and are accurate. Anticipated Completion Date: In November 2022, the Center began reconciling ClickTime reports with payroll reports using an excel spreadsheet to identify discrepancies between the ClickTime timecards and the payroll register to help ensure all hours are accurately reported.

Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ARP ESSER) Assistance Listing No. 84.425U Condition: Subpart I, 2 CFR ?200.430 of the Uniform Guidance requires that charges to ?Federal awards for salaries and wages must be based on records that accurately reflect the work performed.? The documentation should support the distribution of the employee?s compensation among specific activities if the employee works on more than one Federal award, or a Federal award and non-Federal award. The preparation of personnel activity reports (PARs) or periodic certifications or the equivalent is the most effective way to comply with this requirement. During the current year, the District?s PARs for two employees, did not accurately reflect what was charged to the grants in order to comply with Subpart I, 2 CFR ?200.430. Planned Corrective Action: Since the grant funding periods for each of these grants are still open, the District has contacted NYSED and has been advised to submit an amended budget for these additional costs charged, as they are allowable. In addition, the District will review its internal procedure documentation for payroll costs charged to the grants to ensure that the actual costs submitted for reimbursement are supported by the PARs for each employee.

Finding 2022-001 Management?s Response and Planned Corrective Actions: Management and staff responsible for the EARS (Activity Reports) process and grants/contracts billing oversight have reviewed the current process. The following will be either added to the process or completed to ensure accuracy of data on the billing worksheet. 1. Improve accuracy and timeliness of data through meeting and discussion with program managers and supervisors. Education for managers/supervisors will be conducted so they understand exactly what to review on each timesheet, the accuracy of the data compared to what is on the timekeeping software and that the timesheet is complete. They will help to develop processes on their end to ensure staff are completing these correctly. The process will be added to program manager and supervisor orientation training and checklist. 2. Currently, the staff member completing the EARS timesheet entry and billing workbook completes a double check of data and ensure every line of hours matches timekeeping software (not just the total hours) . This will be added to the procedure. 3. At the time of hire notification, payroll staff will send an email to Program Manager to request clarification if new staff member will be completing EARS (timesheet) and verification that new staff member has the form and has been trained. This will also be added to the Staff Member Orientation checklist completed by supervisors. 4. Every two weeks, after the payroll clerk has completed the EARS checklist, the controller will verify that every staff member timesheet has been received and new or terminated staff members are noted on the checklist. A second page will be created on the checklist to account for staff members who do not complete EARS. Any changes (new or termed staff) will be accounted for so that we have a complete list of who completes EARS and which staff members do not. 5. At the end of fiscal calendar, controller will notify payroll staff creating the Billing Backup report with the new Fringe calculation to be added to the workbook. Controller will verify the fringe number is correct in the workbook before any billing begins for the new fiscal year. Payroll staff member will also add to staff calendar to ensure that information is received when creating the spreadsheet for the new fiscal period. ?
