Identifying Number: 2022-012 Finding: SEFA Reporting Corrective Actions Taken or Planned: UCAN agrees with this finding and agrees this was directly due to the turnover in the finance team and staffing challenges. The finance team will undergo additional training in federal grant requirements and SEFA reporting. This is a repeat finding, with the original corrective action plan to be completed before March 31, 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.

Finding 2022-0002 Criteria: According to 2 CFR Subpart F Section 200.Sl0b, the auditee must prepare a Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards {SEFA) for the period that includes all amounts spent on federal programs during the reporting period. Condition: The Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA) was materially understated by $33,592. Cause: This was the School's first single audit and the first time for the School's accountant to prepare the SEFA. The School does not have a process in place for School Administrative personnel who are familiar with the School's grants to review the SEFA for accuracy and completeness. Effect: An audit adjustment was made to increase the reported amount on the SEFA for the Rural Education Grant (84.358A) by $38,256 and reduce the reported amount on the SEFA for the Special Education Grants (84.027) by $8,288. The increase in expenditures resulted in the need to select a second federal award for testing. Recommendation: We recommend that the School's accountant work with administrative personnel to identify all awards from federal sources and implement a process whereby School administrative personnel review the SEFA prepared by the accountant. In addition, we recommend that the accountant reconcile federal award expenditures to the claims that were filed for the year. Action Taken: As of the date of the exit conference, we will institute an in-person quarterly review of each award with the responsible party to ensure costs are appropriately allocated and reimbursements requested. As part of this quarterly review, we will identify the source of the award, year-to-date expenses, grant budget and year-to-date reimbursement claims submitted. The accountant will reconcile federal award expenditures to the claims filed for the year. Furthermore, at year-end, the SEFA will be prepared by the accountant and reviewed by the appropriate administrative personnel for completeness and accuracy.

Finding Number: 2022-002 Condition: The SEFA was not accurate. Planned Corrective Action: Management has accepted the finding. Moving forward, internal conrols will be strengthened with regard to review and recording of revenue and expense recognition. Specifically, as it relates to this instance, review of documentation from the U.S. Department of Education (DOE) as it relates to HEERF grant funding will be more closely reviewed for understanding to include verification of understanding, guidelines and procedures from the DOE and other pertinent agencies for grant funding. Contact person responsible for corrective action: Deborah McKenzie, Director of Grants & Chief Financial Officer Anticipated Competion Date: November 30, 2022

Federal Schedule Audit Comment: County Response Emergency Rental Assistance Program Timely Reporting: The County made every attempt through communications with the Treasury to upload annual reports for ERA 1, without being able to do so by the due date. The County did submit the documents manually by e-mail through dumps of the system. County staff worked with the US Treasury to address these issues. A resolution to the problem did not occur until second quarter of 2023. The Final report for ERA 1 has been submitted through the portal. Cumulative Expenditure/ Obligation Amounts: There was some misinterpretation on the part of County staff on whether the cumulative amounts to be reported was for the quarter or cumulatively for the grant program. It is to be noted that amounts in the County system were properly recorded and no exceptions were noted in the actual expenses/ obligations being for a valid grant purposes. Corrected on Final Report for ERA 1. State/ Local Federal Relief Funds Program Cumulative Expenditures/ Obligations Incorrectly Reported: There was some misinterpretation on the part of County staff on reporting the election of the $10,000,000.00 Revenue Replacement Funds for the SLFRF. It was thought that you could only show the $10,000,000.00 as obligated and expended once the election was made. This resulted in a net overstatement of obligations for any revenue replacements funds that were not yet obligated by resolution by the Board of Mahoning County Commissioners. The County tracked the individual projects by notes in the Treasury system to note the actual obligations. The County?s financial system tracks grants by fund, department and project codes. The funds in the County?s financial system were and are correctly obligated and tracked. The County will make the necessary corrections to the 2023 second quarter report to make sure the report agrees with the County?s financial system. It is to be noted that no exceptions were noted in funds being used for the stated purposes of the grant. Senior management will provide additional oversight to the reports prior to submitting to the US Treasury.

Child Support Enforcement ? Reporting. Corrective Action Planned: The County will develop a Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA) chart and designate the County Clerk to coordinate the collection of information from individual county offices on Federal awards expenditures. Anticipated Completion Date: March 30, 2023 Responsible Party: Carl Grotelueschen, County Board Chair

Views of Responsible Officials: As noted previously, management notes that expenditures of ongoing state and federal programs are internally reviewed and reconciled monthly, and required reporting to funding entities has been completed and submitted consistent with relevant reporting deadlines. However, transitions in systems and personnel as well as several large programs unique to the recent pandemic period challenged management to gather these details in the SEFA format early in the audit. In addition to continued monthly reconciliations, management will establish an additional more formal reconciliation quarterly during fiscal year 2023, and the more formalized grants reporting infrastructure we?re developing as well as upcoming additional staffing in finance and development will also strengthen our capacity for the timely preparations of the SEFA going forward.

FINDING ? FEDERAL AWARD PROGRAMS AUDIT 2022-002 ? Material Weakness ? Internal Control Material Weakness in Internal Control: The following errors were noted and corrected as a result of auditing procedures on the SEFA: ? All funds for WIC were listed under agreement CD4-21-4655B. A significant amount of these funds was provided under agreement CD4-22-4655. ? TANF expenditures were understated by $12,215. ? TANF was incorrectly identified as part of a cluster. ? ERA funds were reported as being funded through US DHHS. ? Head Start was not identified as being part of a cluster. ? CACFP expenditures were understated by $35,656. ? CACFP expenditures were listed as being passed though ME DHHS. This agreement is through ME DOE (education). ? WIC expenditures were understated by $179,782. ? Several COVID-19 programs did not include the appropriate prefix. Recommendation: Management should seek additional training for the fiscal department on preparation of the SEFA standards. In addition, review processes over the SEFA should be strengthened. Both the preparer and reviewer should have a clear understanding of the required minimum elements. As part of the review, all required minimum elements should be vouched to original source documents including copies of awards, reporting, and the trial balance. Any inconsistencies should be resolved before beginning the audit. Management's records should require the identification of the preparer and reviewer as well as the dates each of those tasks were performed. Management could consider requiring a preparation and review process checklist as required documentation for the Organization's reporting records to help ensure key processes are performed and reviewed. Responsible Person for Corrective Action: Lindsay Mitchell, Director of Fiscal & Facilities Corrective Action to be Taken: To enroll new accounting team members in a GAAP training webinar through the CPE website. If there are no webinars provided that we can schedule, Management will look at Wipfli's training webinars to enroll in as a member. More professional development will be provided. There will be a checks and balance review of any schedule or report submitted to funding source and auditors. With initials of reviewer on the back up. Clear understanding of grant requirements and audit requirements will be the departments' goal. The anticipated completion date for this corrective action is September 30, 2023.

2022-002 Internal Control over Compliance and Compliance with Reporting (Preparation of Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards) Auditor Recommendation: We recommend management attend Federal award trainings and information to ensure the documented policies and procedures can be performed as described. This will ensure the Federal funds are reported accurately on the SEFA and that programs are reported under the correct assistance listing number. Corrective Action: The year ended August 31, 2022 was the first year in which the Center expended federal awards in excess of the limit that requires a Single Audit. Since receiving the EIDL loan, the Center maintained detailed tracking and documentation of all disbursements associated with the loan and understood such expenditures exceeded the $750,000 threshold for a Singe Audit during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2022. With the clarification of the specific rules surrounding the disclosure of EIDL loans on the SEFA, management will continue to review Federal Award guidance and requirements to ensure compliance with current and future federal awards. Name of Responsible Contacts: Larry Goodpaster, Director of Finance & Operations, and Kelly Martin, Accounting Manager Projected Implementation Date: May 1, 2023 and ongoing

As requested, the New Mexico Coalition to End Homelessness has completed its corrective action plan for the audit findings in the 2022 fiscal year annual audit report. We have reviewed the findings and have made a corrective action plan to address each of the findings with completion dates. 2022-002?PREPARATION OF SCHEDULE OF EXPENDITURES OF FEDERAL AWARDS Federal Agency: All presented in the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards. Program Name: All presented in the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards. Assistance Listing Nos. and Program Expenditures: All presented in Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards. Award Number and Program Award Year: All presented in Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards. Compliance Requirement: Other ? Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards preparation Type of Finding: E Questioned Costs: None Statement of Condition While conducting the audit, the following was reviewed; the Coalition?s Federal grants report for the fiscal year and identified the federal grants, Assistance Listing # (AL#) and the amounts of the federal expenditures and all of the other items required to properly present the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA). The finance staff of the Coalition confirm the correctness of the SEFA. Despite the confirmation of accuracy, additional federal expenditures and grouping of grant expenditures were identified after several reviews of the SEFA. Criteria 2 CFR 200.510 indicates that the auditee must prepare a schedule of expenditures of Federal awards (SEFA) for the period covered by the auditee?s financial statements which must include the total Federal awards expended as determined in accordance with 2 CFR 200.502 Basis for Determining Federal Awards Expended. Per 2 CFR 200.502 the determination of when a Federal award is expended should be based on when the activity related to the Federal award occurs. Generally, the activity pertains to events that require the non-Federal entity to comply with Federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of Federal awards, such as expenditure/expense transactions associated with awards. In addition, 2 CFR Part 200.303 requires the program establish and maintain effective internal controls over Federal awards that provides reasonable assurance of compliance with Federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of Federal awards. Effect Without an established process governed by effective internal controls, the Coalition may not prevent or detect material misstatements on its SEFA in a timely manner. In addition, the errors could result in improper selections of major program(s) for the single audit and a substandard single audit. Cause Historically, the Coalition has requested the auditor assist in identifying accruals related to federal grant expenditures as the organization has maintained these records on a cash basis. As the organization has taken more responsibility on maintaining its federal grant expenditures on an accrual basis, an incomplete SEFA has been provided. Recommendation It is recommended the Coalition prepare the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards and submit this to the auditor for testing. The SEFA should include the name of the grant, name of grantor, the AL #, the pass-through number if applicable and a reconciliation of the federal revenues and expenditures to the Coalition?s general ledger. The Coalition staff should perform more detailed reviews of the reports to ensure they properly reflect grant receipts and expenditures. This review should be performed by someone other than the preparer and should include documented evidence of agreeing the reported data to the accounting records. We further recommend training for those individuals involved in the preparation and review of the reports to ensure they are fully aware of the requirements. View of Responsible Officials and Corrective Action Plan: The corrective Action Plan will be carried out in the 2023 Fiscal Year and information will be given to the auditors when requested for the 2023 Audit. The Coalition will ensure that all information needed for the SEFA is kept and entered accurately. When the fiscal year closes out, the Coalition will provide the auditors with a test SEFA to confirm that the information we are collecting throughout the year and are asserting are the correct numbers for our federal grants, is indeed the correct information. Corrective Action Plan Timeline: Completed by October 31, 2023 (Final copy of the SEFA will not be given to the auditors until requested for the 2023 Audit) Designation Of Employee Position Responsible For Meeting Deadline: Executive Director, Monet Silva will oversee this project and work closely with the auditors to make sure that the information saved and shared is correct. Thank you, Monet Silva Executive Director

This finding relates to the preparation of the SEFA for the disclosure of the loan balances under the Company?s Railroad Rehabilitation & Improvement Financing (RRIF) loan. In the initial version of the SEFA, Amtrak did not reduce the audit period loan balance by the FY21 loan repayment. An updated version of the SEFA corrected the balance presented. The presentation on the SEFA of the balance of the RRIF loan has specific federal regulation requirements. Amtrak will review and update its SEFA Preparation Guide to ensure full compliance with 2 CFR Part 200 specifically for presentation of the RRIF loan balance. Amtrak will also consider providing training to key grants management personnel on an annual basis to keep them up to date with federal regulations. The contact for this item is Lucia Butts, AVP Funding and Grants. The Company anticipates that the updated procedures and training will remediate this finding in the fiscal year ending September 30, 2023 and beyond.

ACT FOR ALEXANDRIA MANAGEMENT CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN For the Year Ended December 31, 2022 TO: MARCUM LLP 1899 L Street NW, Suite 850 Washington, DC 20036 Finding 2022-001: Revenue Recognition ? Conditional Contributions; Finding 2022-002: SEFA Preparation Condition and Context: During our audit, we identified a conditional contribution that ACT had recorded as revenue upon receipt of the advanced funds and before the applicable barrier to recognition had been satisfied. In addition, the full amount of advanced funds was presented on the schedule of expenditures of federal awards (SEFA). As a result, net assets without donor restrictions were overstated in the financial statements and expenditures were overstated on the SEFA. Recommendation: We recommend management review policies and procedures over contributions received to ensure timely and effective review for any barriers to recognition and over preparation of the SEFA to ensure completeness and accuracy of the SEFA. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Action: ACT agrees with the finding and the auditors? recommendation. One ACT?s fiscal sponsorship funds received advance payments of conditional awards. This is a rare circumstance. As a result, there was a learning curve on our part related to when fiscal sponsorship fund revenue should be recognized related to conditional award advances. Going forward, we will ensure that fiscal sponsorship fund conditional awards are reported as revenue and expense only once barriers are fully satisfied. This will allow for accurate reporting for both financial statement and SEFA purposes.

Finding 2022-006: Federal Financial Reporting Requirements (Significant Deficiency) Information on the Federal Program: U.S. Department of State ALN 19.040 Criteria or Specific Requirement: Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Section 200.303(b) requires non-federal entities to establish and maintain...
Finding 2022-006: Federal Financial Reporting Requirements (Significant Deficiency) Information on the Federal Program: U.S. Department of State ALN 19.040 Criteria or Specific Requirement: Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Section 200.303(b) requires non-federal entities to establish and maintain effective internal control over federal awards that provide reasonable assurance that the non-federal entity is managing federal awards in compliance with federal statutes, regulations, and terms and conditions of the federal award. CFR Section 200.502(a) states that the determination of when a federal award is expended should be based on when the activity related to the federal award occurs. CFR Section 200.510 states that the auditee must prepare a schedule of expenditures of federal awards for the period covered by the auditee's financial statements which must include the total federal awards expended as determined in accordance with CFR Section 200.502. Condition: The schedule of expenditures of federal awards for the year ended December 31, 2022, did not originally include indirect costs totaling $43,632. Cause: FCE's management prepared the schedule of expenditures of federal awards using only direct costs. However, FCE had applied the 10-percent de minimis indirect cost rate when submitting its financial reports. Effect or Potential Effect: The exclusion of indirect costs caused inaccurate amounts to be reported in the SEFA at the start of the audit. This could have caused an inaccurate major program determination. Recommendation: FCE should implement a process for preparing the SEFA that includes comparing amounts reported in the SEFA to amounts included in financial reports of expenditures that are submitted to federal agencies. Action Taken: FCE acknowledges the importance of proper Federal Financial Reporting. FCE will develop and implement formal accounting policies and procedures to ensure that Federal Financial Requirements are met. These will include the steps to follow for preparation of the SEFA, including comparing amounts reported in the SEFA to amounts included in financial reports of expenditures that are submitted to Federal agencies.

CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2022 Finding No. 2022-002: Incomplete Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards- Material Weakness and Material Noncompliance Finding: During our audit, we identified a grant that is required to comply with the applicable requirements of 2 CFR Part 200 and thus should have been included in the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards. Once this grant was properly included, the Organization exceeded $750,000 in qualifying federal expenditures thus meeting the requirement for a Uniform Guidance audit to be conducted. Corrective Actions Taken or Planned: Management has hired a Director of Grants Financial Management who is heading a team to ensure effective management and compliance with all awards in the agency. In addition, management has acquired an award management system and implemented new processes to identify Federal awards. These processes consist of (1) clearly identifying Federal awards on the new Grant Code Form, (2) conducting new award kick-off meetings within the Awards Management, Budget, and Compliance team, and (3) tracking all awards on an award and contracts matrix, as well as in the new awards management software system. For each new award, a Grant Code Form is created. The form allows the Awards Management, Budget, and Compliance team to direct the Accounting team to create a grant code for tracking purposes in the accounting financial system. When the Awards Management and Budget team complete the form, the grant will be clearly identified as a federal grant. In addition, when KIND receives a new award, the Awards Management, Budget, and Compliance team conduct kick-off meetings within the team to discuss award financial, programmatic and compliance requirements. During this meeting the team completes an awards summary template that clearly identifies an award as a Federal award and any related compliance and other requirements. In addition to the processes mentioned, the Awards Management, Budget and Compliance team has created a new contracts and awards tracking matrix. The awards tracking matrix identifies Federal grants, along with any related award requirements and other identifying information. This matrix is maintained and updated by the Awards Management, Contracts and Compliance Officer and reviewed by the Director, Grants Financial Management on a regular basis. The review includes existing procedures related to awards management and monitoring of processes. This is on-going and already in progress. In addition to the above-mentioned processes KIND will do the following: continuously review existing processes around clearly identifying Federal awards and make adjustments to strengthen internal controls as needed; review and discuss with the awards management software vendor, additional improvements that can be made to the system to better identify and report Federal awards and review the current awards matrix and make additional improvements that will better identify and track Federal awards. Name and Person Responsible: Rochelle Quillman, Director of Grants Financial Management Expected Completion Date: October 31, 2023

Federal Grantor: U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Family Violence Prevention and Services/State Domestic Violence Coalitions, State Coalition Technical Assistance and Training Program, Director Program, Federal Assistance List Number 93.591 Condition: Expenditures reported on the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA) were revised during the single audit. Auditor Recommendation: The Partnership should work with its external accounting firm to ensure the SEFA is complete and accurate and expenses agree to federal revenues reported and ensure revenues and expenses for each federal grant are included in the appropriate grouping code for the grant so revenues and expenses claimed are accounted for separately in the general ledger. Partnership Contact Person Responsible for the Corrective Action: Aleese Moore-Orbih, Executive Director Management Response and Corrective Action Plan: The Partnership concurs with the finding and recommendation. We have begun the process of increasing the capacity of our finance department to include an Associate Director, who, like the Senior Director, will be familiar with Uniform Guidance and nonprofit grants management and accounting. They will work in collaboration with our accounting consultants to ensure the SEFA is complete and accurate and agrees to recorded revenue. The target date for hiring is September 1, 2023.

FEDERAL AWARD PROGRAMS AUDIT U.S. Department of Health and Human Services 2022-001 Noncompliance and Material Weakness in Internal Control over Compliance: Requests required to complete the audit were not submitted within sufficient time to allow for audit and reporting prior to the deadline.

Recommendations: Management should seek additional training for the fiscal department on preparation of the SEFA standards. In addition, review processes over the SEFA should be strengthened. Both the preparer and reviewer should have a clear understanding of the required minimum elements. As part of the review, all required minimum elements should be vouched to original source documents including copies of awards, reporting, and the trial balance. Any inconsistencies should be resolved before beginning the audit. The compliance supplement should be reviewed for reporting guidance on new Federal programs. Responsible Person for Corrective Action: Timothy D. Floyd, Chief Financial Officer Management will seek additional training in preparation of the SEFA and the applicable standards. The anticipated completion date for this corrective action is December 31, 2023. If the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has questions regarding this plan, please contact Timothy D.
