Views of responsible personnel and planned corrective actions: Management concurs with this finding. The College has implemented immediate corrective actions including development of a comprehensive grant tracking spreadsheet and establishment of regular meetings between program and finance staff. Additionally, effective immediately, all grant applications must be reviewed and approved by the Controller prior to submission to ensure proper identification of funding sources and compliance requirements. The College will also implement cutoff procedures to ensure federal expenditures are reported in the correct period based on when eligible costs are incurred. The Controller will review all G5 drawdowns near year-end to verify proper period reporting. Formal written procedures for SEFA preparation will be implemented by October 15, 2025.

Recommendation: After thoroughly reviewing the unique circumstance that led to this audit finding, we have determined that it is highly unlikely to recur. Given the organization's strong compliance history and familiarity with SEFA reporting under Uniform Guidance, we do not see a cost-effective benefit to revamping internal controls specifically for the issue. Instead, we recommend continuing to: review government awards, provide refresher trainings to staff, and conduct periodic reviews of internal controls to ensure ongoing compliance. These measures will effectively address the finding without incurring unnecessary costs. Planned Action: The organization acknowledges this was a unique situation and it is unlikely to recur. As a precaution, we will be reviewing training with staff and conduct periodic and annual reviews of the SEFA related funds. We will also continue to bring unique situations to the attention f the auditors to maintain our strong compliance history.

Starting during Fiscal Year 2024, the County Finance Department has been preparing and analyzing quarterly draft Single Audit expenditures and other trial balance amounts with participation from grant fiscal staff throughout the County to improve the reporting of expenditures at year-end. There are also a variety of other initiatives to improve financial reporting and other grant-related processes. An interorganizational Grants Workgroup has been started to have periodic meetings to work on root causes that affect the accounting of grant expenditures. For example, this work group is addressing topics such as expenditure reconciliations, timely recording of grant receivables and revenues throughout the fiscal year to facilitate expenditure analysis at year-end, timely recording of County match and the identification of County match-funded versus grantor-funded (Single Audit reportable) expenditures, and the development of accounting-system reports. County Finance management (Merrie Allen and Ajay Gajjar) will continue to work with the Grants Workgroup and develop improvements that will improve the reporting of grant expenditures.
