CAP for Finding: 2022-302 DATE: March 27, 2023 TO: Carolyn Stittleburg, Deputy State Auditor for Financial Audit Legislative Audit Bureau FROM: Barry Kasten, Director Bureau of Fiscal Services Department of Health Services SUBJECT: Corrective Action Plan ? Multiple Grants ? Reporting in the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards Department staff has reviewed the Legislative Audit Bureau?s (LAB) interim audit memo for Finding 2022-302: Multiple Grants - Reporting in the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards. This is the department?s Corrective Action Plan. ? Recommendation (2022-302): Multiple Grants ? Reporting in the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards We recommend the Wisconsin Department of Health Services further evaluate federal grant expenditures reported in the STAR General Ledger as it prepares its schedule of expenditures of federal awards and ensure it is: ? adjusting expenditures for prior-year transfers of expenditures in the current year. Wisconsin Department of Health Services Planned Corrective Action: DHS adjusted the expenditures for prior-year transfers of expenditures as recommended by LAB though DHS believes that there is no clearly defined direct authoritative guidance provided by OMB mandating a uniform method for reporting a transfer of prior year grant expenditures. Because of this, DHS believes it is prudent to seek confirmation of this treatment from the federal government going forward. LAB, in describing the effect, indicates that ?the State under-reported expenditures for the ELC grant by $55.9 million.? These expenditures were previously reported in prior fiscal years. Upon approval of the State?s FEMA project workbook, and in accordance with the compliance supplement, these previously reported expenditures were reported in FY 2021-22 under the Disaster Grants?Public Assistance (Presidentially Declared Disasters) (Assistance Listing number 97.036) grant. Without a matching reduction in expenditures to the ELC grant by $55.9 million, DHS is concerned that the lifetime expenditures on the SEFA schedule for these grant programs are going to reflect more expenditures than federal funding received. Additionally, because there is not direct authoritative guidance currently provided by OMB mandating a uniform method for reporting a transfer of prior year grant expenditures, DHS will work with DOA to seek clarification from the Federal Government on the proper treatment and reporting of transfers of prior year expenditures on the SEFA. Anticipated Completion Date: November 1, 2023 We recommend the Wisconsin Department of Health Services further evaluate federal grant expenditures reported in the STAR General Ledger as it prepares its schedule of expenditures of federal awards and ensure it is: ? properly identifying applicable COVID-19 expenditures; ? reporting all federal expenditures for each federal grant program, regardless of whether the agency has received reimbursement from the pass-through entity; and ? removing repayments of prior-year overpayments of expenditures from current-year expenditures. Wisconsin Department of Health Services Planned Corrective Action: DHS will ensure that it reviews the instructions that are received from DOA and present the proper amounts in the SEFA. This will include a review of adjustments made to grants open in prior state fiscal years and verification that they have not already been reported on the SEFA in a prior year, such as the WIC adjustment identified. Anticipated Completion Date: November 1, 2023 Person responsible for corrective action: Barry Kasten, Director Bureau of Fiscal Services, Division of Enterprise Services barry.kasten@dhs.wisconsin.gov

Responsible Person: Meg V. Blinkiewicz, Executive Director Finding Number: 2022-001 Condition: The organization?s internal financial policies manual states the Executive Director is authorized to sign checks up to $5,000. Checks for amounts greater than $5,000 require the signature of the Treasurer or Board Chair. During testing, it was noted that the Treasurer or Board chair did not sign checks over $5,000 to sub-recipients. Planned corrective action: The organization?s internal financial policies manual will be revised and approved at the April 4, 2023 board meeting. The revised policies will state that the Executive Director has the authority to sign checks up to $15,000. Checks over the amount of $15,000 will require the Treasurer or Board Chair to sign as well. KYD Network staff and board will receive training on this policy. The Executive Director will notify the Treasurer and Board Chair of checks exceeding the $15,000 limit and will schedule time to receive their signature. Anticipated completion date: April 7, 2023

Adjusting Journal Entries, Required Disclosures and Draft Financial Statements Auditor?s Recommendation: Although auditors may continue to provide such assistance both now and in the future, under this pronouncement, the District should continue to review and accept both proposed adjusting journal entries and footnote disclosures, along with the draft financial statements. School District?s Response: Adam Moate, Business Manager, has received, reviewed and accepted all journal entries, footnote disclosures and draft financial statements proposed for the current year audit and will continue to review similar information for the year ending June 30, 2023 and in future years. Further, the District believes it has a thorough understanding of these financial statements and the ability to make informed judgments based on these financial statements.

Finding Number: 2022-004 Finding Title: Activities Allowed or Unallowed and Allowable Costs/Cost Principles Program: 14.231 Emergency Solutions Grant Program Name of Contact Person Responsible for Corrective Action: George Hardgrove, EGCI Service Team Controller Corrective Action Planned: Ramsey County had exceptions for 6 of 40 transactions tested. The exceptions noted were for a lack of receipt copies and not having the proper payroll reports attached. We agree with the lack of receipt copies. For payroll, we felt the payroll reports provided were adequate to determine the appropriate labor cost. The receipt issue came to about 2.5% of the $5.5M that was expended under this award in 2022 while the payroll documentation was about 7% of this amount. Nonetheless, we will create and use a check list to ensure we have the proper receipt copies and payroll reports for each subrecipient invoice we approve. We will also work on clarifying the required payroll reports with our grantors. Anticipated Completion Date: December 31, 2023.

"Because of the size of the office and the district, we are precluded from maintaining a proper staff size to ensure a proper segregation of duties. We are aware of this condition and we realize that the concentration of duties and responsibilities in a limited number of individuals in not desirable for an effective system of internal control. To mitigate the issue of lack of segregation of duties, we have cross trained virtually each of the business office employees. While we do have a dedicated payroll person, another individual will perform cross checks & verifications independently. The same goes for issuing checks, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and activity funds. These functions are overseen by the business manager. "

Finding Type - Material weakness and material noncompliance with laws and regulations Condition ? The Authority disbursed a portion of its CARES Act funds to community partners; however, many of those partners offer only Section 5310 service for seniors and individuals with disabilities. Section 5310 program expenses are not allowable under the CARES Act. Identification of How Questioned Costs Were Computed ? Questioned costs represent the total amount of CARES Act funds passed through to community partners. Context - During the fiscal year, SMART passed through $1,146,291 to 35 community partners. Cause and Effect - The CARES Act award was new to SMART in fiscal year 2020. SMART's other federal awards have existed for many years and SMART is very familiar with their requirements and allowable uses. SMART sought to share the new award with its community partners but was not aware that most of them did not have expenditures allowable under the CARES Act until the matter was identified during SMART's most recent triennial review. Recommendation - When new awards are received, we recommend SMART thoroughly analyze the compliance requirements, including the allowable uses. Views of Responsible Officials and Corrective Action Plan ? SMART management is aware of the issue and has been diligently working with our FTA regional office to correct the issue. While certain community partner expenses were not eligible under CARES, they are certainly eligible under CRRSA and ARPA funding grants. We are in the process of finalizing a plan, with the FTA, where all community partner relief funding will be reprogramed under the CRRSA and ARPA grants. This correction plan, once finalized, will result in no reduction of federal relief funding to SMART or any of our community partners. Given extraordinary circumstances and expedited nature of the CARES funding, we do not believe that this issue will be a significant risk for future grant funding, however SMART has modified our grant policy manual to ensure a more thorough review of eligible expenses for subrecipients.
