During the Budget Period April 1, 2022 to March 31, 2023, Healthy Start Performance Measure (HS 6) the percentage of Father and/or Partner Involvement with child <24 months to 80%. Program performance was 71%. Not achieved. HS 5, the percentage of Father and/or Partner Involvement during pregnancy to 80%. Program performance was 63%. Not achieved. Father involvement is a challenge while the program staff encourage, teach, and support Father involvement, too many relationships struggle with co-parenting and stress management issues.

Audit Finding Reference: 2023-002 Internal Controls Over Disbursements Planned Corrective Action: No documented review of employee reimbursements charged to grants: Our systems have required review and approvals procedures as described below but the notation of review and approval were not evident. Going forward either through email or sign-off, it will show approval. All employee reimbursement expenses are reviewed and approved by the employee’s direct manager, within the payroll system (Paylocity) prior to processing payment (with bi-weekly payroll). In addition, the grant accountant and grant manager will review the timesheets and allocation of employee expenses to confirm that they agree. The approval is submitted via email to the payroll administrator for processing of the payroll. The payroll administrator will create the journal entry in the general ledger from the approval worksheet. In addition, with the implementation of our new general ledger system, the entries are reviewed and approved within the general ledger system by upper management. No documented review of payroll charged to grants: Our systems have required review and approvals procedures as described below but the notation of review and approval were not evident. Going forward either through email or sign-off, it will show approval. Payroll has multiple levels of approval. In FY23, the payroll folder, that includes timesheets, grant allocations, and payroll register, would be submitted for approval to the accounting manager. The accounting manager would review and approve payroll and return the folder to the payroll administrator for payroll submission to the payroll company. Starting in FY24, payroll would be submitted via email to the grant accountant, grant manager, and the assistant controller for multiple levels of review and approval. Corrections and approvals are done via email. In addition to the email approvals, upper management approves payroll by initialing the last page of the payroll register after a complete review. Furthermore, with the implementation of our new general ledger system, the entries are reviewed and approved within the general ledger system by upper management.

The City agrees with the recommendation to strengthen internal controls over grant reporting processes. To enhance accountability and accuracy, grant reports authored by the designated grant recipient, who is the City employee tasked with managing the grant activity, will now undergo a review by someone else in the City independent of the report preparation. This review will focus on ensuring the reports are complete, accurate, and fully compliant with all stipulated grant requirements.

Federal Agency: Department of Housing and Urban Development Pass Through Agency: Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development Program: Community Development Block Grants/ State's Program and Non-Entitlement Grants in Hawaii (CDBG), ALN 14.228 Criteria: In accordance with 2 CFR Part 200.303, a non-Federal entity must establish and maintain effective internal control over Federal awards that provide reasonable assurance that the non-Federal entity is managing the Federal award in compliance with Federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of the Federal award. Condition: The City did not have a process in place to obtain invoices or other supporting documentation from the subrecipient to ensure that the CDBG funding was spent on activities allowed and allowable costs prior to reimbursing the subrecipient. Subsequent to making the 2023 payments to the subrecipient, the City obtained the invoices for review. Cause: The City did not have procedures in place to ensure that the CDBG invoices to support payments to the subrecipient were obtained and reviewed. Effect: The lack of internal control processes to review supporting documentation to ensure compliance with federal requirements prior to payments being made to subrecipients could result in unallowable costs to occur and not be detected prior to payment of funding to the subrecipient. Questioned costs: Unknown Recommendation: We recommend that the City obtains invoice support for all reimbursement requests from the subrecipient prior to payment. These requests should be reviewed for allowable activities and allowable costs by an individual knowledgeable of the program requirements prior to approving for payment. This review should be documented. View of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Action: Mayor and City Clerk will be responsible for corrective action. The City will obtain invoice support for all reimbursement requests from the subrecipient PRIOR to payment. These requests will be reviewed for allowable activities and allowable costs by the Mayor of the City of Butler prior to payment. This review (invoices) will be documented and saved in a file on the clerk's computer. Trigger for the mayor to review invoices will be the email from DCED requesting signatures from the Mayor and the City Clerk. The procedures for reviewing all payment requests shall begin July, 2024 and shall be ongoing.

Auditor Description of Condition and Effect. We selected a sample of disbursements that were charged to the grant. Of this sample, 5 out of 40 disbursements had questioned costs. Two disbursements had amounts submitted for reimbursement but no actual costs were incurred by the Organization. Another two disbursements included expenses for other clubs outside the grant agreement that was charged to the grant. The last disbursement was missing supporting documentation for the costs charged to the grant. As a result of this condition, the Organization did not fully comply with the requirements of the Uniform Guidance. Auditor Recommendation. We recommend that the Organization verify that costs submitted for reimbursement are valid and allowable expenses. Additionally, the Organization needs to properly allocate costs in accordance with the grant agreements. Corrective Action. Management concurs with the finding. The Organization will ensure valid and allowable expenses, including proper allocation of costs, are remitted through enhancement of the current review processes. Responsible Person. Stacy Holman, Chief Financial Officer. Anticipated Completion Date. December 31, 2024.

Management agrees with the finding that the Period 4 Provider Relief Fund report included expenses for utility and insurance expenditures that were not directly related to the District's prevention, preparation and/or response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Management reviewed HRSA guidance and examples of allowable expenses prior to completing Period 4 Provider Relief Fund reporting and concluded these expenses were considered allowable as general and administrative expenses incurred during our response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Management notes that expenses and lost revenue reported exceed the amount of PRF funding received even if these expenses were excluded. We have taken corrective action for the review of completeness and accuracy for inclusion of allowable expenditures. PRF reporting, subsequent to this audit, will be reviewed prior to submission to ensure accuracy of reporting. Chief Financial Officer, Marie Castro, is responsible for ensuring the corrective action plan is followed. The corrective action plan will be implemented on June 30, 2024.

Finding 2023-002: Overdrawn Federal Funding Condition The auditors identified duplicated federal award expenditures amounting to $380,644, resulting in overdrawn federal funds by $380,644. The excess cash on hand was not returned to the funding source in a timely manner. Correction action: NACDD has experienced drastic change in size over the past 3-4 years. Current policies and procedures have not been adequate for the size and volume of the transactions experienced in FY 23. In addition, there has been significant finance/accounting staff turnover including leadership of the Finance team. +The impact of this deficiency was isolated to one cooperative agreement which closed out as of 9.30.23. NACDD performed efficient and effective subsequent disbursement procedures after year end to ensure that expenses for this grant and others were recorded in the appropriate fiscal year. In the process of preparing the FFR and researching further additional expenditures related to this grant, expenses included in the initial subsequent disbursement adjustments, related to this grant were duplicated. +The Correction action plan includes previously implemented augmentation of the Finance staff. Since the end of the FY 23 fiscal year, the finance department has been fully staffed with knowledgeable accounting professionals, many who have financial federal grant experience. There is now a financial analyst on staff whose main responsibility is to reconcile and record federal grant expenditures and receivables. This process is done monthly. We believe that this additional procedure will eliminate the recurrence of this and any other like issues. Procedures related to the weekly PMS drawdown have been expanded to include reconciling the accounts receivable by grant with the PMS accounts to allow only amounts listed in PMS which are supported with appropriate expenditures to be drawn. +Implementation of corrective measures: The above expanded procedures and oversight have been in effect for most of the FY 24 fiscal year. PMS drawdowns are now done weekly with worksheets that tie in detail to the weekly expenditures. In addition, a control checklist will be created and utilized by the Finance staff leadership to monitor and document the successful implementation of corrective measures. + Additional over-arching controls – The Finance team will execute an interim audit process inhouse as of 6.30.24 and every year going forward to further identify errors and irregularities that may exist. If necessary, additional policies and procedures will be implemented to provide greater scope and assurance in preventing financial reporting errors. Responsible Person Trish H. Strong, CFO Anticipated completion date June 30, 2024

Reference Number: 2023-001 - Material Weakness, Subrecipient Monitoring Recommendation: We recommend· that the Board improve policies and procedures to ensure communication identifies available funding for program services provided in a timely and efficient manner to the program providers. Concerning monitoring its sub-recipients, policies and procedures should be enhanced to ensure that oversight of its sub-recipients is more frequent, timely, and responsive to findings. Management Response: In response to the identified material weakness regarding subrecipient monitoring, the Board has been placed on a Corrective Action Plan by the Texas Workforce Commission to address and rectify the issues. The key actions and improvements are as follows: 1. Implementation of New Dashboards and Projection Tools: Action Taken: The Board has developed and integrated advanced dashboards that provide real-time insights into programmatic decisions and their financial impacts. These tools facilitate continuous monitoring and alignment of the budget with program activities. Expected Outcome: Enhanced ability to manage budget variances promptly, ensuring that future expenditures are consistently within approved funding limits. 2. Strengthening Subrecipient Monitoring: Action Taken: The Board has established more frequent and systematic oversight mechanisms, including bi-weekly meetings and comprehensive data analysis to track and manage enrollment and expenditures. Expected Outcome: Improved compliance with federal regulations, timely identification of potential over-enrollments, and prevention of budget overruns. 3. Active Oversight and Continuous Communication: Action Taken: The Board has instituted regular bi-weekly conference calls and progress reporting with Texas Workforce Commission (TWC) staff to review and support implementing the corrective action plan. Expected Outcome: Enhanced transparency and accountability, ensuring all stakeholders are informed and aligned with the implemented corrective measures. 4. Development of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs): Action Taken: The Board is in the process of developing formal SOPs for enrollment and financial management to standardize and document all processes. Expected Outcome: Clear guidelines and consistent practices that ensure efficient and compliant program management. 5. Benchmark and Progress Monitoring: Action Taken: Specific benchmarks have been established to reduce the average number of children served per day and to monitor the active oversight of the Child Care Services (CCS) program. Expected Outcome: Achievement of performance targets and improved management of program resources. 6. Implementation of Strong Budgetary Oversight: Action Taken: Robust budgetary oversight measures have been implemented to monitor financial activities closely and ensure adherence to budget constraints. This includes integrating stronger projection tools and regular variance analysis. Expected Outcome: Improved fiscal discipline and proactive identification of financial risks, preventing budgetary shortfalls and ensuring sustainable program funding. Conclusion: The Board is committed to addressing the issues identified in the audit and ensuring that all subrecipient activities are monitored effectively to comply with federal requirements. The corrective action plan and the new tools and procedures will strengthen our financial oversight and program management capabilities. The Board will continue to work closely with TWC to ensure the successful implementation of these measures and to prevent future occurrences of such issues.
