2025-003. Payroll and Disbursement (Allowable Costs/Cost Principles) United States Department of Education, Passed-through New York State Department of Education: Special Education Cluster: Special Education Grants to States: IDEA Part B ALN: 84.027 Education Stabilization Funds COVID 19: American Rescue Plan – Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief ALN: 84.425U Condition: As required under Subpart E, 2 CFR §200.403 through §200.405 and §200.430, and Subpart D, 2 CFR §200.302, which require a financial management system to provide effective control over accountability for federal funds, and to identify the source and application of funds. During the year, we noted that the District recorded journal entries transferring payroll and disbursement related expenditures from the General Fund to the Special Aid Fund under the Special Education Cluster and Education Stabilization Funds grant codes. These journal entries lacked adequate supporting documentation to demonstrate approvals and if the costs were allowable and allocable to the applicable federal awards. Consequently, we were unable to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to conclude whether the journalized transactions were properly charged to the federal programs in order to comply with Subpart E, 2 CFR §200.403 through §200.405 and §200.430, and Subpart D, 2 CFR §200.302. Planned Corrective Action: The District will implement procedures to ensure that all payroll and disbursement transactions charged to federal awards through journal entries are properly supported. This will include maintaining original time and effort documentation for payroll, as well as invoices and supporting records for disbursements. Additionally, the District will establish a review and approval process for journal entries transferring expenditures between funds to verify that amounts are allowable, reasonable, and allocable to the appropriate federal awards. Staff will be trained on federal documentation requirements under 2 CFR §200.430 and §200.302 to prevent recurrence and ensure that all financial records support compliance with federal guidelines. Anticipated Completion Date: June 30, 2026 Responsible Contact Person: Jean Mingot Assistant Superintendent for Business Southampton Union Free School District 70 Leland Lane Southampton, New York 11968-5089

2025-002. Payroll (Allowable Costs/Cost Principles) United States Department of Education, Passed-through New York State Department of Education: Education Stabilization Funds COVID 19: American Rescue Plan – Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief ALN: 84.425U Condition: Subpart I, 2 CFR §200.430 of the Uniform Guidance requires that charges to “Federal awards for salaries and wages must be based on records that accurately reflect the work performed.” The documentation should support the distribution of the employee’s compensation among specific activities if the employees work on more than one Federal award, or a Federal award and non-Federal award. The preparation of payroll verification forms, or periodic certifications or the equivalent is the most effective way to comply with this requirement. During the current year, it was noted that in one instance, the District’s payroll verification form was not reviewed or signed by either the supervisor or employee that was chargedto the grant in order to comply with Subpart I, 2 CFR §200.430. Planned Corrective Action: The District acknowledges the finding and will thoroughly review and maintain the payroll verification forms to ensure each employee’s salary, or other forms of compensation, are properly approved and signed off by the employer and employee. Anticipated Completion Date: June 30, 2026

2025-001. Payroll (Allowable Costs/Cost Principles) United States Department of Education, Passed-through New York State Department of Education: Special Education Cluster Special Education Grants to States: IDEA Part B ALN: 84.027 Condition: Subpart I, 2 CFR §200.430 of the Uniform Guidance requires that charges to “Federal awards for salaries and wages must be based on records that accurately reflect the work performed.” The documentation should support the distribution of the employee’s compensation among specific activities if employees work on more than one Federal award, or a Federal award and non-Federal award. The preparation of payroll verification forms, or periodic certifications or the equivalent is the most effective way to comply with this requirement. During the current year, it was noted that in some instances, the District’s payroll verification forms did not accurately reflect the actual allocation that was charged to the grant in order to comply with Subpart I, 2 CFR §200.430. Planned Corrective Action: The District acknowledges the finding and will thoroughly review and maintain the payroll verification forms to ensure each employee’s salary, or other forms of compensation, charged to the grant corresponds to the federal program to which the employees’ earnings were allocated, based on time and effort, in compliance with Subpart I, 2 CFR §200.430.

The City acknowledges the internal control deficiencies related to the tracking, recording, and monitoring of grant receivables, related revenue and deferred revenue, and the timely preparation of reimbursement requests for federal and state grants. Management recognizes that the current process, which relies heavily on individual departments to initiate reimbursement activity, has resulted in delays and incomplete financial reporting. To address the issue, the City will implement the following corrective actions: 1. Centralized Grant Monitoring Process: The Accounting Department will assume responsibility for proactively identifying and recording grant receivables and associated revenue and deferred revenue at the time expenditures are incurred. This process will no longer be dependent solely on departmental requests for reimbursement. 2. Quarterly Review and Reconciliation: A new quarterly grant monitoring schedule will be established. As part of this process, the Accounting Department will review expenditure reports for all active grants, estimate receivable amounts, and ensure timely recognition of revenue in accordance with applicable accounting standards. 3. Formal Documentation and Workflow Procedures: The City will develop written procedures detailing the steps for monitoring grant expenditures, estimating receivables, reconciling recorded amounts to actual reimbursement submissions, and communicating with grant managing departments. 4. Departmental Training: The City will provide training to staff involved in grant management to ensure all departments understand the updated process and the importance of timely expenditure reporting. These corrective actions will strengthen internal controls, improve accuracy in financial reporting, and ensure compliance with federal grant reimbursement requirements. Anticipated Completion Date: Procedures will be drafted and implemented by June 30, 2026, with quarterly monitoring beginning immediately thereafter. Views of Responsible Officials: The City concurs with the auditors’ findings and recommendations.

Department will strengthen controls to ensure that the required award information is provided, once available. Certain information such as Federal Award Identification Number and Federal Transit Administration and National Highway Traffic Safety Administration award date are not available at the time of contracting CDOT is working on a process to provide this information, once it is available in a publicly available format on CDOT’s website or on a subrecipient facing grant management site. We will add a note to the contract explaining where the information will be posted on our site when it becomes available. The Department will also identify staff requiring additional training on classification and coding for contractors vs. subrecipients.

The Department agrees with the recommendation. The Center for Accounting (CFA) and the Office of Transportation Safety (OTS) have coordinated to implement updated reviews and controls. This implementation involves reviewing current processes to ensure supporting documentation is vetted and grant compliance is verified prior to payment. It also includes assessing the need for increased monitoring to ensure initial program reviews are complete and accurate. This remediation effort was finalized on June 30, 2025, following the September 2024 transaction in question. Additionally, the Department plans to review the remediation plan with all relevant staff again this season. This will ensure that all supporting documentation is thoroughly vetted and that expenditures comply with the applicable award period of performance.

The Department agrees with the recommendation. The Department will review, assess, and, where necessary, update existing procedures for FFATA reporting relating to the requirement that state subawards for $30,000+ be submitted within 30 days of committed budget. This will include ensuring that the confirmation date is documented. This process will be a coordinated effort between the Office Transportation Safety (OTS) and the Center for Accounting. This will include updating our reconciliation process to include additional data, reviewing and updating reconciliation and review procedures as needed, and reconciling Grants awarded in prior fiscal years that are still active and ensuring they have been appropriately reported. The findings related to this recommendation are in part the result of a federal reporting system limitation, and a federal system conversion. The legacy reporting system, FSRS, had a system limitation, which prevented the full amount of the award being reported in the case of three awards. Additionally, this conversion resulted in some data conversion issues impacting one additional award.
The Department agrees with this finding and will provide any training needed to staff members to ensure that all components of the FFATA are completed accurately, timely and with proper reviews.

MSU Denver manages enrollment reporting within the Office of the Registrar. We develop a schedule each calendar year and semester with NSC to identify scheduled reporting dates for each term in alignment with critical semester dates (start, end, drop, etc.). In Fiscal Year 2025, there was a technical issue in which we had to work with our ERP vendor, Ellucian, to provide a solution. The Office of the Registrar will strengthen its internal controls to ensure enrollment changes are reported within the required 60-day timeline.

The Colorado State University and Colorado State University – Pueblo campuses will strengthen their internal controls to ensure enrollment changes are reported within the required 60-day timeline for newly enrolled students. Additionally, the Colorado State University and Colorado State University – Pueblo campuses will improve the documentation provided as part of compliance testing as both students referenced within the finding were unique situations. In both instances referenced, additional context was not provided during compliance testing for both students that was not captured on the provided National Student Loan Data System Campus Enrollment Details webpage that showed the appearance of reporting an enrollment status change outside of the 60-day requirement. For the Colorado State University, the student was reported with an effective date of the beginning of the Fall 2024 Semester but did not complete verification procedures until February 2025 and was then disbursed the Fall 2024 portion of their Pell Grant. For Colorado State University – Pueblo, the student was reported with an effective date of the beginning of the Fall 2024 Semester, but corrections were required on the student’s FAFSA before federal student financial aid could be disbursed. The campuses will improve documentation provided during compliance testing for when these unique situations with enrollment reporting occur.

The Department agrees to strengthen its internal controls over Medicaid eligibility to ensure compliance with federal and state regulations. Colorado will continue its approved Centers for Medicare and Medicaid mitigation plan to ensure that eligibility is determined on an individual rather than a household basis. The Department will continue to conduct ex parte reviews to determine eligibility for all household members based on available information. Those members identified as eligible at ex parte will be approved, regardless if others in the household continue to need verifications or are no longer eligible. The Department is currently working on a permanent system change for CBMS that will only send out renewal forms for individuals not eligible through the ex parte process, with implementation by December 2026.
