Finding Number: 2024‐001 Program Name/Assistance Listing Title: Forest Service Schools and Roads Cluster, Education Stabilization Fund Assistance Listing Number: 10.665, 84.425 Contact Person: Andrea Despain, Business Manager Anticipated Completion Date: June 30, 2025 Planned Corrective Action: The District will collaborate with all grant stakeholders to strengthen internal controls by clearly defining responsibilities, tracking submission deadlines, and ensuring strict adherence to policies. Oversight will be reinforced through regular grant management meetings and reviews conducted by the Business Manager.

Recommendation We recommend that management enhance its internal control structure, including financial close and reporting, to ensure timely filing of future Single Audit reporting packages. Management Response Corrective Action: NIYC has been working towards getting caught up on the timely audit completion requirement as per the 2CFR 200.512, including the retention of a larger audit firm to schedule and complete the audit in a more timely manner. We have also implemented a monthly and year-end closing process to facilitate filing of future Single Audit reporting packages. Due Date of Completion:March 31, 2026 Responsible Person(s): NIYC Management

Along with FY22 financial data changes to the Financial Data Schedule, and changes to the FY23 Financial Data Schedule and the issuance of FY23 audit on March 21, 2025, caused a delay in the finalization of the FY24 Financial Data Schedule submission. With the completion of the HUD requested changes, the Agency anticipates future submissions to be timely and accurate without continuous changes to balance sheet accounts. Additionally, The Authority has restructured the accounting team and implemented multiple internal controls, policy and procedures over financial reporting. To ensure a timely audit, the finance team and the auditors maintain clear and detailed communication throughout the entire process. Additionally, confirm that the auditors have sufficient capacity to complete the audit within the agreed-upon timeline.

Management’s Comments and Corrective Action Plan: Management has reviewed finding 2024-001 related to timely Single Audit report submission to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse and has developed the following plan to address this finding and ensure compliance going forward. 1. Root Cause Analysis – Previous to 2023, the last time the Y was required to have a Single Audit was the year ended December 31, 2012. Because this was a new process to the Y, we were unaware that we needed to submit the Single Audit to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse. In past years, the independent audit firm initiated the e-filing process on our behalf. 2. Action Steps – The Y will develop a year-end Federal Awards checklist to include all necessary preparation steps including but not limited to preparation of the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA); corresponding audit documentation; and procedures for filing the completed Single Audit to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse including confirmation that independent auditors have reviewed and certified the submission to the Clearinghouse. 3. Responsible Parties – The Controller will complete the checklist and perform the filing to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse and the CFO will review and approve. 4. Timeline – Submission of the Single Audit to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse as well as completion, review, and approval of the checklist will be done within 30 days of receipt of the final Single Audit report. 5. Monitoring & Evaluation – The checklist and approval process will be monitored on an annual basis to ensure ongoing compliance and effectiveness of this corrective action plan.

Finding 2024-007 Programs: All Material Weakness over Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA) Reporting Repeat Finding: Yes; 2023-006 Auditee’s Corrective Action Plan: The city’s legacy financial system did not collect data required for SEFA. Agencies had to provide most details manually and work between spreadsheets and multiple systems to input and track receipt grant awards and spend on personnel, supplies and services and sub-recipient awards related to grants. The steps to address this legacy finding have been phased and include the technology implementation, staff training and additional oversight. As noted, the City implemented Workday, an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system, across workstreams so that Financial Accounting, Grants, Procurement, Supplier Accounts, Banking, Payroll and Human Resources are all in one system. As with any ERP, an ongoing process of evaluation and updates are needed to continuously align workflow and business processes. This approach has led to continued improvement over the years as the grants management module is fully implemented in Workday. Since implementation, additional enhancements have been adopted and utilized with a robust workflow process for grant approval, grant budget tracking, and invoice scheduling. In addition to the technology adoption, an increase in citywide grants training and oversight has been implemented. The progress is detailed below: • FY 23 represented the first year in the new system. To compile the SEFA, the City used a hybrid approach to leverage Workday and Agency provided data. o There were some data accuracy challenges from data entry errors. To address those data entry challenges the award modification business process was improved post-implementation to add a GMO review and approval step of award modifications. o As of May 2024, all award modifications now require centralized GMO review to verify data accuracy. o Additional process changes in FY 23 included implementation of the requirement as part of the FY 24 budget preparation process that grant worktags must be created and budgeted for during the City’s annual budget process. The grant worktag creation process includes approvals at the agency program and fiscal levels, as well as at the Department of Finance level. • In FY24 further Award Module enhancements were adopted to provide key new data points in Workday. o Each grant award now includes information: Federal Assistance Listing Number (fna CFDA#), Passthrough Agencies & Passthrough Identifier. DRAFT CITY OF BALTIMORE Corrective Action Plans Year Ended June 30, 2024 146 Finding 2024-007 (continued) Auditee’s Corrective Action Plan: (continued) o Additionally, in FY 24, GMO, in collaboration with BAPS launched the Grants Workstream Training sessions. These monthly citywide virtual live trainings are on a variety of grant management related topics, averaging 60 attendees per session. Attendees are city agency grant managers and city agency fiscal staff. • In FY 24 and FY 25 the topics covered included: o FY 24 Grant Work tag Preparation o FY 24 SEFA Preparation o Grant Accounting Best Practices and Workday Billing o Award Set-up Best Practice & Potential Pitfalls o Extra Features in Workday (including reporting and how to set up award tasks and deadlines) o Subrecipient Monitoring Best Practices o Cost-reimbursable grant invoicing in Workday o FY 25 SEFA preparation o FY 26 Grant Work tag Preparation o Grant Management Roles and Responsibilities o Specific training on the SEFA, including information on understanding the importance of the SEFA, what information is included and how to review SEFA data, was conducted. Citywide training sessions were held in FY 24 and FY 25 to ensure that the reporting is understood by city agencies, with special emphasis on subrecipient payments being reported properly. The training schedule is ongoing and continuous. • To improve SEFA reporting data, in FY 25 there is an emphasis on subrecipient set up and spending to ensure that functionality is refined to improve uniformity in subrecipient set up. GMO, in conjunction with BAPS, the Bureau of Procurement and city agencies will work to refine subrecipient set up, spending and monitoring, including improved reporting. o GMO has hosted three subrecipient monitoring and management–related trainings since December 2024. Additionally, to improve subrecipient managing and monitoring, GMO modified the award setup business process in Workday to include verification of subaward status before final award setup approval. In FY 25, GMO provided training on how to setup subawards accurately in Workday. As discussed above, these trainings will be ongoing. • Additionally, GMO and the BBMR will collaborate on a subaward dashboard to monitor subrecipient spending data in real time. Contact Person: Michael Moiseyev, Chief Financial Officer, Baltimore City Completion Date: FY26 3rd Quarter- • Design and complete a grants management dashboard within Workday • Ongoing and continuous - GMO will continue to conduct trainings on SEFA reporting and subrecipient management and reporting.

The Town has implemented a year-end closing process. Once the Town becomes current this compliance issue will be mitigated.

Management concurs with the finding. The new ERP system implementation and first year of operations resulted in delays in timely preparation for the audit. In addition, the unexpected loss of the audit liaison contributed to further delay. The University has begun strengthening its year-end financial reporting and audit preparation processes. Items that can be compiled prior to year-end will be identified and the compilation of those items will begin. Areas that presented challenges during the FY 24 audit will be given special attention in advance. Lastly, audit assignments will be delegated to improve response efficiency. A detailed closing schedule has been developed. Staff duties and responsibilities have been reassigned and repurposed to improve processing timelines and audit preparation. The audit timeline will be monitored more closely to ensure timely responses to audit requests that support the timely completion and issuance of the audit to meet Uniform Guidance timeline requirements.
