SUBRECIPIENT MONITORING Recommendation: We recognize the agency has established a policy over sub-grant recipient files effective June 29, 2017. We recommend the policy begin to be enforced in fiscal year 2023. Also, we recommend any updating to the policy for implementation of effective internal controls and procedures over subrecipient monitoring and tracking that allow for compliance with all applicable federal laws, regulations, and compliance requirements of various federal grants. Corrective Action: The Department understands this issue. Administrative Services Bureau does complete subrecipient monitoring via desktop review and uses a monitoring checklist housed in the subgrant files. The Department has onboarded a Grants Unit Manager to include oversight of the subrecipient monitoring process. The process is currently being reviewed, modified, and implemented. Now that COVID restrictions have been lifted significantly, the Sub Grant Analysts will include physical monitoring visits as well as desk monitoring reviews as part of their job duties in FY23. Due Date of Completion: June 30, 2023 Responsible Person(s): Chief Financial Officer, Grants Unit Manager

CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN Finding 2022-002: Subrecipient Monitoring ...
CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN Finding 2022-002: Subrecipient Monitoring Public Allies has developed a Risk Assessment tool that will be implemented with subgrantees ("local sites") for Program Year '23. The tool?s development was driven by noted best practices and guidance shared with AmeriCorps grantees and Public Allies? prior monitoring findings. The tool includes a self-assessment by local sites and the results will drive the level of monitoring and training and assistance each site receives. Public Allies will also be piloting a new Progress Report, that will provide an at-a-glance assessment of site performance based upon metrics determined in collaboration with subgrantees. The programmatic monitoring process will be led by a dedicated monitoring team that is supported by staff that provide direct programmatic training and technical assistance to sites. For fiscal monitoring, Public Allies has shifted from outsourcing all accounting and financial management to bringing all accounting in-house. As described above, this staff now includes a Finance Director, a Staff Accountant and Senior Accountant. This shift was the result of an evaluation of internal operations and financial management systems. The addition of multiple full-time accounting staff has improved our capacity to monitor and manage subgrantees, effectively track and manage process improvements, ensure fiscal-related grants compliance, and efficiently manage our federal grant funding requests and reports. A fiscal Grants Manager was hired to review subgrantee financial reporting, provide technical assistance, and implement financial monitoring of subrecipients. Finally, a desk audit will be implemented in FY23. The number of files to be reviewed for each site will be determined based upon risk factors assessed, including: AmeriCorps Monitoring Common Findings, staff retention data, prevalence of turnover in AmeriCorps members, and length of time since the site underwent an audit. Requested programmatic and fiscal documents will include: ? Ally/Member Leadership Journal Position Descriptions ? Time Logs ? Ally/Member Evaluations ? Exit Documentation ? Ally/Member Payroll Register, and ? Operating Partner Due Diligence ? Annual Financial Statement ? Separation of Duties Survey ? Internal Controls Questionnaire The Public Allies Network will be notified of the Desk-Based Audit by May 26th and the desk audit will conclude by fiscal year end. Findings of the audit, in the form of a Monitoring Report will be shared with subrecipients, including required follow-up necessary to remediate compliance findings. Results of the desk audit will be used to determine future training needs, policy recommendations, and future monitoring Person Responsible: Najah Woods, Apprenticeship Program Grants Manager Implementation Date: August 31, 2023

2022-001 Coronavirus Relief Fund ? Assistance Listing No. 21.019 Recommendation: We recommend LAHSA implements controls to ensure that the subrecipient monitoring plan is revisited at the time contracts are entered into in order to ensure proper coverage. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: LAHSA acknowledges that there is an opportunity to enhance its current subrecipient monitoring procedures. LAHSA conducts risk-based monitoring reviews of our subrecipients. Our FY 21- 22 Annual Monitoring Plan describes how LAHSA oversees the monitoring selection of our subrecipients, depending on the complexity of their activity, subrecipients? monitoring could be more frequent. It should be noted that LAHSA?s monitoring plan is inclusive of multiple LAHSA funding streams and programs. Additionally, the annual monitoring plan endeavors to alleviate any duplication of efforts. Subrecipients are selected for review based on Monitoring Priorities established each Fiscal Year. Moreover, since the onset of COVID-19, Monitoring and Compliance (M&C) now Grants Management and Compliance (GMC) shifted our monitoring efforts to help stand up Project Room Key, our compliance responsibilities were bifurcated between our grants management side of the house, whose core focus/activities were remote, and the compliance side of the house which implements more intensive monitoring which include onsite visits. During FY 21-22, monitoring was reduced to cover high risk and urgent priorities. All agencies selected for monitoring will have analysis conducted to review agencies risk assessment results, spending trends, and performance data on an on-going basis throughout the FY. This analysis will help identify if the risk assessment was accurate and if the activities of the agency need additional review. Moving forward, LAHSA acknowledges the opportunity to enhance monitoring and will conduct 100% monitoring of subrecipients that receive federal funds. We will bring the monitoring plan to a future Audit and Risk committee meeting. Name(s) of the contact person(s) responsible for corrective action: Jeffrey Samson, Deputy Chief Financial & Administrative Officer, jsamson@lahsa.org; Amy Williams, Director ? Grants Management & Compliance, awilliams@lahsa.org Planned completion date for corrective action plan: To be implemented effective in FY 22-23.

PDE: Audits retrieved from the Federal Audit Clearinghouse are now reviewed after entry into PDE?s SharePoint website, to ensure PDE remains compliant with federal guidelines to respond to any and all findings pertaining to federal dollars it passes to subrecipients. Likewise, PDE Audit Section continues to improve upon its processes for timely determinations of those single audits with findings by multiple means, including periodic SharePoint enhancements designed to aid in timely review of single audit packages, working closely with PDE program areas to assist in timely responses and quickly addressing SharePoint access issues as they arise. Anticipated Completion Date: 06/30/2023 Contact Person and Title: Clayton P. Carroll, II, Audit Coordinator; Jessica Sites, Director, Bur. of Budget and Fiscal Mgmt DEP: BAFM now provides agencies with single audit reporting packages that have findings each week that have been accepted by the Federal Audit Clearinghouse (FAC). This allows for us to start our management decision process in a timelier manner and meet the six-month deadline for issuing our decision. This information first appeared in our notifications starting April 30, 2021. In addition, the DEP program that had been previously identifying agreements as contracts rather than subrecipient agreements has corrected this issue and all subrecipients have been notified in writing of this correction and provided the information for submitting their single audits (if necessary). The letters were sent to subrecipients on approximately May 31, 2022. DEP Fiscal Management staff will continue to monitor the BAFM SharePoint site and FAC for additional filings to attempt to avoid this issue in the future. DEP is also hiring additional staff for the oversight and monitoring of the subrecipient single audits to ensure compliance with all requirements. These positions are currently in the filing process, and we are hopeful that they will be filled, and staff trained by September 30, 2023. Anticipated Completion Date: 09/30/2023 Contact Person and Title: Jennifer L. Brandt, Senior Fiscal Management Specialist, Federal Grants and Audits DOH: NORTH Inc.?s Single Audit report for the period ending 9/30/2020 was officially submitted and showing on the FAC on 2/9/2023. Bureau of WIC staff reached out to the Director and CFO of NORTH Inc. by phone and email. Emails were sent with instructions on how to submit the report as well as the importance of submitting the report timely per their grant agreement. Each follow-up phone call included discussion on the importance of submitting their single audit as soon as possible. Moving forward the Bureau of WIC will implement the following procedure: 1 .Three months after the end of the audit period (Federal Fiscal Year), Project Officers will send an email that outlines the process for submitting a single audit reporting package to the FAC to their respective WIC local agencies. This email will provide a date that the single audit is due to be submitted to the FAC in order to stay in compliance with their current WIC grant agreement. 2. Six months after the end of the audit period (three months from the due date of the single audit reporting package) an official letter from the Bureau Director will go out to the WIC local agencies that are due to submit a single audit. The letters will include instructions on how to submit the single audit in FAC and the Audit Requirements link referenced in their grant agreement. 3. If the WIC local agency notifies the Bureau of WIC that their auditor will not be able to submit their agency?s single audit by the due date, then the Project Officer will work with the local agency to get a projected date of completion and a timeline on when the local agency?s auditor is able to finalize the audit and submit it to the FAC. The Bureau of WIC will then notify DOH?s Audit Coordinator and OB-BAFM of this information, so they are able to track it. 4. If the WIC local agency does not submit the report by the due date and fails to notify their project officer; a notice to cure letter will be sent to the agency. Concerning NORTH Inc.?s Single Audit report for the period ending September 30, 2021: 1. The Bureau of WIC will contact NORTH Inc. and request a meeting with their auditor. 2. Following the meeting with NORTH Inc.?s auditor, the Bureau Director will send an official letter to NORTH Inc. The letter will include the instructions on how to submit the single audit in the FAC and the Audit Requirements link referenced in their grant agreement. They will also be made aware of the actions that could result from them not submitting this audit by the agreed upon date. 3. If the single audit is not received by the agreed upon date, then the Bureau of WIC will send a notice to cure letter. Anticipated Completion Date: 03/24/2023 Contact Person and Title: Sally Zubairu-Cofield, Director, Bureau of WIC DHS: Regarding the timeliness of finding resolution and procedures related to the SEFA reviews, the Audit Resolution Section (ARS) hired an additional staff member in August 2021 and hired two additional staff members in February 2022, and an additional staff member in January 2023. Finally, the ARS worked with Office of the Budget, Bureau of Accounting and Financial Management to develop a risk-based approach for single audit reviews, which will greatly streamline the process of single audit reviews to gain substantial efficiencies. Regarding late audit report submissions, we will continue to follow the requirements of 2 CFR ?200.339 and Commonwealth Management Directive 325.8. We will continue to work with counties and their independent auditors to obtain any late Single Audit reports.

The review of current active subawards has been completed, including all single audits for fiscal year 2022, with no findings for any of Lehigh?s subawards. The Subaward Coordinator continues to monitor for the posting of these remaining reports on a weekly basis in order to complete the review of subrecipient single audit reports on a timely basis.

Questioned Costs: Assistance Listing # 93.067 93.067 COVID-19 Amount $0 Status: Corrective action in progress Corrective Action: The University maintains that there are adequate internal controls to ensure the Global AIDS program complies with the requirements for pass-through entities as outlined in Uniform Guidance 2 CFR ? 200.332 and the university policy incorporated in Grants Information Memorandum 8. As noted in the finding, the University uses a certification process to obtain information and documentation needed, such as audited financial statements, from each subrecipient and perform a risk assessment using standard risk criteria. For the one exception identified by the auditors, the University misinterpreted the response provided by the subrecipient regarding whether it expended $750,000 or more in federal awards during the fiscal year. Although the single or program specific audit report was not obtained and reviewed, a risk assessment was performed on the subrecipient.
