Head Start Cluster 93.600 Material Weakness Internal Control over Reporting 2025-001 Condition: The annual report (Form SF 425) for the year ended July 31, 2025 required to be submitted by October 29, 2025 was filed late on November 5, 2025. Criteria: Instructions to Form SF 425, Federal Financial Report, require that quarterly and interim reports be submitted no later than 30 days after the reporting period and annual reports no later than 90 days after the reporting period. The reporting period ends July 31. Auditor’s Recommendation: We recommend that program directors provide information to the Federal Grant Manager timely to ensure reports are completed and submitted within established due dates. As noted above, the July 31, 2025 report has since been filed and accepted by the federal agency. Management’s Response: Management has made revisions to internal controls in order to ensure reports are submitted timely. Internal deadlines have been established requiring the Head Start Director to submit required financial and program data to the Grants/Compliance Officer at least 15 days prior to the federal reporting due date. The Head Start Director will sign an annual acknowledgement of reporting responsibilities and deadlines. The Grants/Compliance Officer will maintain a reporting calendar and notify the Head Start Director of pending due dates to ensure timely receipt of information. If required information is not received by the internal deadline, the issue will be escalated to College executive management (the President and Vice President of Business) for immediate resolution. The Grants/Compliance Officer in coordination with the Head Start Director are responsible for the implementation of this corrective action. The plan will be completed by June 30, 2026. If there are any questions regarding this plan, please contact Tanya Garnenez, Vice President of Business, at 605-455-6011.

Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Action: QARI acknowledges the finding and has developed and implemented policies and procedures to ensure that all participant information is retained and for management to perform and document periodic reviews of eligibility determinations. While eligibility documentation was collected at intake, original records were not retained in a centralized system and the organization has since implemented a new data tracking and management system (DPP Express) in FY2026. QARI confirms that all participants enrolled in the program met eligibility requirements and that all required data has been accurately submitted to the Diabetes Prevention Recognition Program (DPRP) in accordance with CDC requirements to maintain Pending Recognition status. To address the finding, QARI has implemented the following corrective actions: 1) Standardized procedures to ensure original participant eligibility documentation is retained within the data management system; 2) Management-level periodic reviews of eligibility determinations, with documented oversight; 3) Cross-training and role clarification to ensure continuity in data collection and record retention despite staffing changes. These actions will strengthen documentation practices while maintaining the integrity and compliance of QARI’s program enrollment and reporting processes.

Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Action: QARI maintains an approved Financial Policies and Procedures Manual that was reviewed and accepted by Federal agencies in FY2025. While many required practices were already in place and operationalized, the auditors identified areas where written documentation could be strengthened or made more explicit. QARI has since updated its policies to include: 1) Explicit conflict of interest disclosure requirements for partners (consistent with existing annual Board disclosures); 2) Documented procedures to verify that vendors are not suspended or debarred. QARI remains transparent with Federal awarding agencies through required annual grant and budget review processes, and all vendors engaged under Federal awards are included in and approved through the official grant budget. These updates ensure full written compliance with OMB Uniform Guidance requirements and strengthen existing internal controls.

Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Action: QARI agrees with the finding and will implement policies and procedures to draw down Federal funds only for its immediate Federal program cash needs. The timing of the drawdown in FY2025 reflected a conservative cash management decision made to ensure continuity of program operations and payroll given uncertainty about delays in accessing Federal funds. As a result, Federal funds were not fully disbursed within the required timeframe. This approach was intended to safeguard program delivery and did not result in misuse of funds. QARI has updated its cash management procedures to ensure that future Federal drawdowns are limited to immediate Federal program cash needs and are disbursed within required timelines. Management oversight has been strengthened to monitor drawdown timing and maintain ongoing compliance with Federal cash management requirements.

Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Action: While QARI concurs with the need for fully compliant time and effort documentation, the issue identified reflects limitations during the initial implementation of a new payroll system, not misuse of grant funds. QARI implemented a new payroll and timekeeping system in April 2025 to correct undercoding and allocation issues in the prior system. During the transition period (April–June 2025), payroll was allocated using budget-based percentages while staff clocked in and out and supervisors monitored work assignments to ensure time was spent on allowable grant activities. QARI’s internal review confirms that employees charged to the grant performed allowable and allocable work; however, the system configuration did not fully capture employee-level allocations by funding source during this implementation phase. Corrective actions include: 1) Reconstruction of manual timesheets for April–June 2025, supported by calendars and program records, with employee attestation and supervisory approval; 2) Reconfiguration of the payroll system to require employee self-allocation of actual hours worked each pay period; 3) Enhanced supervisory review and internal controls. The questioned costs reflect a temporary documentation gap during system transition, not unsupported or inappropriate expenditures. QARI has taken corrective action to ensure full compliance going forward.
Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Action: While QARI concurs with the need to strengthen timekeeping documentation practices, we respectfully note that the matter identified reflects procedural and documentation deficiencies, not misuse or misallocation of grant funds.

Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Action: While QARI concurs with the need to strengthen timekeeping documentation practices, we respectfully note that the matter identified reflects procedural and documentation deficiencies, not misuse or misallocation of grant funds. Through an internal review conducted in response to this finding, management confirmed that the personnel in question were performing allowable and allocable grant-related activities, supported by calendar records and project deliverables. Due to gaps in timekeeping procedures, approved timesheets did not fully capture all grant-related effort. Management recorded journal entries to align payroll charges with actual programmatic work performed, based on supervisory knowledge of staff assignments and workload. These entries were intended to ensure costs were properly aligned with grant activities, not to overcharge the grant. The underlying causes of this issue include: 1) Inconsistent understanding of federal documentation requirements from staff; 2) Insufficient secondary review procedures to identify and/or correct errors at the time of submission; 3) Functional limitations of our time tracking system that did not fully support multi-grant allocations. QARI maintains that the costs charged were reasonable, allowable, and incurred in support of the grant’s objectives. Corrective actions already implemented or in progress include: 1) Organization-wide training on federal timekeeping and effort reporting requirements; 2)Enhanced supervisory review and approval protocols to ensure accuracy and completeness prior to payroll processing; 3) Strengthened internal controls and updated procedures to ensure that only hours supported by compliant timesheets are charged directly to grants. QARI is committed to full compliance with federal documentation standards and has taken proactive steps to ensure that all payroll charges are fully supported, verifiable, and consistent with best practices.
