Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions – The District is committed to enhancing its processes to ensure timely and efficient preparation for audit requests. To align with the standards set forth in the New Mexico Administrative Code Title 2, Chapter 2, Part 2, we will implement more robust internal procedures to improve audit readiness and ensure that all necessary documentation is readily available.

It is the responsibility of the Finance Supervisor to ensure all contracts entered into includes language indicating if the funding is federal or state. If it is federal funding, the contract must include the federal assistance listing number, which will be reported on the year-end schedule of federal awards. A single audit will be performed if the federal expenditures reach the maximum allowable per auditing standards. If a single audit is required, it will be completed and submitted to the appropriate grantors within nine months of the end of the fiscal year.

Name of Contact Person: Robin Ward Corrective Action Planned: Due to turnover of the start up of the Organization's rental operation, the accounting for the for the rental properties was performed by the managment company. The Organization was unable to have the annual audit completed within the required timeframe, and subsequently was late in submission of the FAC report. The Organization has contracted with the management company's accountants to combine all the accounting into one set of records and to conduct audit preparation and other financial services as requested. The Organization will work on getting financial information in a timely fashion and submit the reporting package in accordance with the guidelines. Anticipated completion date: January 2025.

Resolved. Reporting package submitted.

CONDITION: The Regional Office of Education No. 39 was required to submit its June 30, 2022, data collection form and related reporting package to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse by March 31, 2023; however, it was not submitted until January 3, 2024, resulting in a delay of 278 days. PLAN: The new ROE Business Office Manager will work closely with their contracted accounting firm to ensure that the office gets back on schedule with the yearly audit deadlines. Because the audit for FY22 was not completed until January 2024 the Federal Audit Clearinghouse could not be submitted until that time. The FY24 financial statements are scheduled to be provided in January 2025 so that the office can get back on schedule for the FY25 audit deadline of August 31, 2025 and therefore the March 31, 2026 Federal Audit Clearinghouse deadline. ANTICIPATED DATE OF COMPLETION: The anticipated date of completion is December 2025. CONTACT PERSON: Jill Reedy, Regional Superintendent

The Organization failed to file their report by this deadline. Corrective Actions Taken or Planned: - VOICES has engaged a licensed CPA firm with expertise in Single Audit reporting and federal compliance. The CPA firm will work proactively with VOICES to ensure that all financial statements, schedules, and compliance documents are completed, reviewed, and filed well in advance of the reporting deadline. - VOICES’ executive team and the CPA firm will perform quarterly reviews to detect and resolve issues early, reducing delays during the annual audit process. - Assign internal staff responsibilities to ensure all documents are prepared and reviewed ahead of the audit.

2023-001 – Reporting Requirements (previously 2022-004) Noncompliance. Federal Programs: AL 21.023 – Emergency Rental Assistance Program. AL 14.231 – Emergency Solutions Grant. Auditors Notes: As required by 2 CFR 200.512, the single audit report must be submitted to the federal audit clearinghouse within the earlier of 30 calendar days after the receipt of the auditor's report, or nine months after the end of the audit period. The Organization experienced delays in the completion of the financial statement audit, and therefore the single audit was delayed until after the required submission date. The Organization is relatively new to the single audit process and requirements, there were various versions of guidance received and unclear identification of responsibilities until later into the program year that resulted in delays. The effect was a delay in the finalization of the single audit and inappropriate reporting to the related granting agencies. We recommend that the Organization develop a process to track and ensure that reporting deadlines are met. Management’s Response: Inland Southern California United Way and Subsidiaries are currently catching up on both financial audits and single audits for the Organization, therefore deadlines that have already passed could not have been met. However, the Accounting Manager and Executive Director of Finance will be responsible for ensuring that any future deadlines, effective FY24, for program reporting requirements as well as both financial audits and single audits are completed and submitted in a timely manner.

Management's Response: We concur. View of Responsible Officials and Corrective Action: In 2024, TPREF engaged an independent accounting firm to reconcile all accounts and perform month-end and year-end close activities. Also in 2023-2024, TPREF reviewed and established proper utilization of new accounting software to support timely reporting to align with policies and procedures. To provide greater oversight and supervision, and to ensure timely and accurate charging of expenses, billing, and revenue recognition, the accounting firm assumed responsibility for accounts receivable with reporting to the CEO. In 2025, the accounting firm will be supplemented by an in-house bookkeeper to manage accounts receivables with oversight by the CEO and accounting firm. Anticipated Completion Date: The onboarding to new accounting firm was completed in September 2024 and TPREF has transitioned to regular client services management. By end of the first quarter 2025, TPREF will have hired and onboarded an in-house bookkeeper to supplement the accounting firm.

Finding 2023-001—Reporting BAERI acknowledges the repeated finding related to reporting. The inability to meet the reporting deadline for the 2023 audit stems from the concurrent timing of the 2022 and 2023 audits, which prevented the implementation of the corrective action plan outlined in our 2022 audit response. BAERI has fully implemented the corrective action plan developed in response to Finding 2022-001. These corrective actions include: 1. Policies and procedures to ensure internal documentation required for the annual audit is easily accessible to finance staff and not onerous to compile for auditors. 2. The hiring and training of additional finance staff to support the implementation of these policies and ensure a smooth and timely audit process. Due to the concurrent completion of the 2022 and 2023 audits, these measures were not able to impact the 2023 audit. However, they are now in place and will be reflected in the 2024 audit, which will be completed by June 2025. Additionally, BAERI has transitioned its fiscal year from a calendar year to a federal fiscal year (October 1 to September 30). This change will better align our reporting timelines with federal requirements and further support timely submissions. The 2024 audit report and SF-SAC form will be submitted to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse within nine months after the end of the audit period, demonstrating compliance with 2 CFR 200.512. BAERI remains committed to improving its compliance and ensuring timely reporting in future audits.

Recommendations: We recommend that the Authority strengthen its internal controls and improve oversight of the audit process to ensure timely completion and submission of future reports. Additionally, the recipient should work closely with the audit firm to establish clearer timelines and ensure that any delays are addressed promptly. Authority Response: Leadership recognizes the federal award finding and questioned costs and is already moving forward with a systems change to ensure timeliness of completing the necessary processes with the annual audit.
