Finding No. 2022-002 ?

Finding No. 2022-002 ? Cash Management View of Responsible Officials: The University maintains that it has policies and procedures in place to ensure expenditures are paid in accordance with 2 CFR Part 200.305(b) which requires non-federal entities to ??minimize the time elapsing between the transfer of funds from the United States Treasury or the pass-through entity and the disbursement by the non-Federal entity??. The University states in Note 1 to the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards that it reports expenditures on an accrual basis of accounting unless otherwise directed by the terms and conditions of the underlying awards. These accrued expenditures are paid on a timely basis in accordance with the University?s existing processes, thereby ensuring compliance with the requirements in 2 CFR Part 200.305(b). This finding is based on the results of testing for Audit Objective No. 4 in Part 3, Section C. Cash Management, in the Office of Management and Budget (?OMB?) Compliance Supplement issued April 2022 which states ?For grants and cooperative agreements to non-federal entities that are paid on a reimbursement basis, supporting documentation shows that the costs for which reimbursement was requested were paid prior to the date of the reimbursement request.? However, as noted above, 2 CFR Part 200.305(b) requires only that non-federal entities minimize the time elapsing between the receipt of funds and the ultimate disbursement for the expenditures, and does not otherwise state that expenditures must be paid prior to the date of the reimbursement request. In October 2017, on behalf of its member institutions, the Council on Governmental Relations (?COGR?) issued a letter to the OMB Office of Federal Financial Management requesting that the Compliance Supplement be amended, followed by an update to 2 CFR Part 200.305, to address these inconsistencies. This request has not been addressed to date. The University will continue to monitor the OMB interpretation and responses to COGR?s request, and reevaluate its existing policies and procedures as necessary. Anticipated Completion Date: N/A

REFERENCE # 2022-003 - Reporting-Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act- Deficiency Condition - The University provided subawards to various Hospitals during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022. We reviewed the FFATA submitted by the University and noted that FFATA submission was not within time frame as required by the HRSA. Recommendation - We recommend that the University submit the required FFATA reports within the time frame prescribed by HRSA. Corrective Action Plan - The University has a system to identify first tier subawards of $30,000 or more and a system to identify Purchase Orders (PO) generating vendor payments of $30,000 or more. These established processes are managed by the Office of Sponsored Programs (OSP) and the Office of Central Procurement (OCP), respectively. The identified hospital payments were not processed as subaward payments, nor were they processed through OCP where a payment would be generated via PO. The payments were made under unit specific service contracts and paid via non-PO payment (or direct payment) to the hospital partners. While this type of payment is authorized by Penn State systems, it was unknown at the time of payment that non-PO payments were not routed to OCP for review and validation of the FFATA reporting requirements. To ensure future compliance: ? OCP will conduct a retroactive review of all non-PO payments $30,000 or greater from July 2020 through present to ensure FFATA reporting is complete and accurate ? OSP and OCP will work with colleges to develop a unit-level process to review and identify eligible FFATA reporting prior to submission of non-PO payment requests ? OCP will conduct a bi-weekly review of all non-PO payments $30,000 or greater to ensure any transactions meeting FFATA requirements are reported timely and appropriately. Action Date - Ongoing Final Implementation Date - May 31, 2023 Name And Phone # Of Person Responsible - Virginia A. Teachey, 814-865-1355

REFERENCE # 2022-002 - Reporting/Special Reporting- Quarterly Budget and Expenditure Reporting for HEERF I, II, and III (a)(1) Institutional Portion, (a)(2), and (a)(3)- Deficiency Condition - The University received HEERF III (a)(1) funding from the U.S. Department of Education. The University submitted Quarterly Budget and Expenditure Reporting for HEERF III (a)(1) Institutional Portion, (a)(2), and (a)(3) on a quarterly basis. However, it was noted that one (1) report for the Quarter ending June 30, 2021, was due on July 10, 2021, and was submitted on August 16, 2021. Recommendation - We recommend that the University submit the required report within the time frame prescribed by U.S. Department of Education. Corrective Action Plan - This error was due to a misinterpretation of the HEERF III reporting requirements at the time, as $0 had been disbursed during the quarter in question. As soon as this error was realized, the report was submitted, and all subsequent HEERF III reporting has been submitted timely Action Date - Ongoing Final Implementation Date - May 31, 2023 Name And Phone # Of Person Responsible - Virginia A. Teachey, 814-865-1355

Finding 2022-001 Allowable Costs Criteria: According to the 2022 OMB Compliance Supplement - Institutions must demonstrate that costs incurred are allowable under the relevant statutory provisions and consistent with the purpose of the ESF ?to prevent, prepare for, and respond to coronavirus.? HEERF II, HEERF III, and HEERF I funds liquidated (spent) on or after December 27, 2020. Beginning December 27, 2020, any unused HEERF I Institutional Portion funds, new HEERF II Institutional Portion funds, HEERF III Institutional Portion Funds may be used to defray expenses associated with coronavirus (including lost revenue, reimbursement for expenses already incurred, technology costs associated with a transition to distance education, faculty and staff trainings, and payroll) and to make additional financial grants to students (CRRSAA Section 314(c)(1-3); ARP Section 2003) Statement of Condition: Whittier College charged an unallowable expense related to non-Covid-related testing at the College to the HEERF Institutional Portion. While most of the expense was for Covid testing performed by a third party at the College and deemed allowable, a portion was for screenings other than Covid; we determined that portion of the expense to be unallowable, as it was not consistent with the purpose of ESF "to prevent, prepare for, and respond to coronavirus". Corrective Action Planned: As the $634.87 expenditure documentation was prepared correctly but processed incorrectly, ORSP will strengthen reconciliation procedures to ensure that only allowable expenditures post to the respective grant fund and that timely corrections are made. Name of contact Person responsible for corrective action plan: Lisa Newton, Associate Director of Research and Sponsored Programs Anticipated completion date: The correction was made before submission of the HEERF third quarter report submission on 10/10/22.

Finding 2022-003 Federal Procedures Manual Condition: The City did not have written policies, procedures and standards of conduct relative to federal awards as required by Uniform Guidance (2 CFR 200), Subparts D (Post Federal Award Requirements) and E (Cost Principles). Criteria: Uniform Guidance required nonfederal entities that receive federal awards establish written policies, procedures or standards of conduct. Cause: The City lacks written policies, procedures or standards of conduct required by the current federal regulations. Effect: Failure to establish these policies, procedures or standards of conduct puts the City. in noncompliance with Federal regulations and increases the likelihood of fraud, waste and abuse of federal funds. It also may increase the likelihood of findings in subsequent single audits due to lack of adequate internal controls. Auditor's Recommendation: We recommend that the City adopts written policies, procedures and standards of conduct relative to federal awards as required by Uniform Guidance. We have provided sample policies to review and consider. Management Response: The City has developed and adopted written grant procedures that are m accordance with the Uniform Guidance, effective 1/1/2023.

2022-002 Missing Personnel Files (Material Weakness) New Finding This Year Recommendation: Recommend adhering to adopted policies regarding the retention of personnel files. Action Taken: Due to the absence of the HR Generalist who was involved in a motorcycle accident in the midst of putting together all personnel files as recommended by the BIA records review, there were documents that were not filed immediately.

CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN Project Legal Name: Catherine Booth Towers Orlando, FL (? Project of Catherine Booth Residence, Inc., a Florida Corporation) HUD Project No.: 067-EE054-WAH Audit Firm: CohnReznick LLP Period covered by the audit: 10/1/2021-9/30/2022 Corrective Action Plan prepared by: Name: Sriparna Mitra Position: HUD Specialist, THQ (Legal) Telephone Number: 404-728-6700 A. Current Findings on the Schedule of Findings, Questioned Costs and Recommendations 1. Finding 2022-001 a. Comments on the Finding and Each Recommendation The auditee agrees with the finding. The late completion of the audits for fiscal years 2020 and 2021 has contributed to management not getting the budgets for the new fiscal years submitted and approved by HUD timely. As a result, management did not have access to the EIV system for a period of time so that they could verify income. This issue is anticipated again in fiscal year 2023 because of the late submission of the fiscal year 2022 budget which required the fiscal year 2021 actual data. b. Action(s) Taken or Planned on the Finding The late completion of our audits for fiscal years 2020 and 2021 has contributed to our not getting our budgets for the new fiscal years submitted and approved timely. Therefore, Management did not have access to the Enterprise Income Verification (EIV) system [the system used to access Social Security information and Health and Human Service information] for a period of time so that they could verify income. This issue is anticipated again in fiscal year 2023 because of the late submission of the fiscal year 2022 budget which required the fiscal year 2021 actual data. Steps are being taken to have the fiscal year 2022 audit completed in a reasonable timeframe, and we do not anticipate the same problem going forward. B. Status of Corrective Actions on Findings Reported in the Schedule of the Status of Prior Year Findings, Questioned Costs and Recommendations 1. 2021-001 In process. See finding 2022-001. 2. 2021-002 Cleared.
