Information on Federal Programs: U.S. Department of Agriculture Child Nutrition Cluster (COVID-19 National School Lunch Program and COVID-19 School Breakfast Program and Food Distribution, Federal Assistance Listing No. 0.553 and 10.555) passed through the New York State Education Department. Findings and questioned costs related to Federal awards which are required to be reported in accordance with the Uniform Guidance 2 CFR 200.516(a): Criteria: CFR Section 200.318 stipulates that a non -Federal entity must use its own documented procurement procedures which reflect applicable state, local, and tribal laws, and regulations, provided that the procurements conform to applicable Federal law and the standards identified in Part 200 Subpart D. Additionally, 2 CFR Section 200.213 stipulates that no awards, subawards, or contracts be awarded to parties that are debarred, suspended, or otherwise excluded from or ineligible for participation in Federal assistance programs or activities. Statement of Condition: During our discussions with management and testing of the major program, we noted that the District is not verifying the eligibility of vendors to participate in Federal assistance programs. Statement of Cause: The District did not review compliance requirements related to procurement outlined in 2 CFR Section 200.318 and Section 200.213. Statement of Effect: The District is not in compliance with 2 CFR Section 200.213. The District is not performing required procedures, as a result, vendors that are not eligible for participation in Federal assistance programs or activities could be selected or the District could be overpaying for goods and services. Questioned Cost: None. Repeat Finding: No Perspective Information: As part of testing of compliance over procurement, a selection of vendors charged to the major program was selected for testing of compliance. Of the District?s vendors charged to the program, none were suspended or debarred from participation in Federal assistance programs and activities. Recommendation: We recommend that the District review the requirements of 2 CFR Section 200.213 and ensure that a review of the eligibility of potential vendors to participate in Federal assistance programs or activities is performed prior to disbursing funds to the vendor. Views of the Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions: The District has reviewed the requirements of 2 CFR Section 200.213. The District is in agreement with the recommendation to implement a procedure to document the process used to verify the eligibility of potential vendors to participate in Federal assistance programs. The verification of excluded parties will be accomplished by accessing the System for Award Management (SAM.gov) website and selecting the ?Excluded Entity? filter on the ?Exclusions? search page to search for exclusions by Unique Entity ID or CAGE/NCAGE code as follows: 1) Select ?Search? from the header menu from any page on SAM.gov 2) In the filters, under ?Select Domain?, select ?Entity Information?, then select Exclusions 3) Use the filters or keyword box to enter the search criteria and view the results 4) Document the results in the vendor file. Other alternatives for verification may include collecting a certification from the entity or adding a clause or condition to the covered transaction or contract with that entity. The Purchasing Agent is charged with the responsibility of monitoring and ensuring compliance with the suspension and debarment procedures and maintaining documentation that contracts expected to equal or exceed $25,000 have been verified on the System for Award Management (SAM) website before purchases are made. Responsible Person(s): Kristin Chotkowski, Purchasing Agent Deadline for Completion: On or before 4/1/23 for covered transactions with contracts or purchase orders meeting the threshold during the time period 7/1/22 - 1/31/23. Prior to contract approval or purchase order issuance for contracts or purchase orders meeting the threshold on or after 2/1/23.

The four students that failed this test for Audit Finding 2022-004 were due to student completion issues and Donnelly College overriding the add/drop policy to retroactively drop students. Registrar clearly provides the information and application process requirements to students who are graduating and will not process their graduation until requirements are met.

2022-008: ALN 93.568 LIHEAP/COVID-19 LIHEAP - Activities Allowed or Unallowed, Passthrough from Massachusetts Department of Housing and Community Development Condition: Receipts of LIHEAP grant funds exceeded LIHEAP grant expenses during the fiscal year, and LIHEAP restricted cash was deficient by $1,849,775 when comparing the June 30, 2022 LIHEAP restricted cash balance of $1,965,909 to the LIHEAP deferred revenue of $3,815,684, indicating unallowable use of LIHEAP program funds. The Activities Allowed or Unallowed compliance requirement is identified as not being subject to audit in the Compliance Supplement and auditors are not expected to test requirements. However, we became aware of the material cash deficiency and determined non-compliance with the general requirements of the Activities Allowed or Unallowed compliance requirement clearly exists. Cause: LIHEAP program funds, including those identified in Finding 2022-007, were not immediately transferred to and held in the LIHEAP program checking account. Because the funds were not transferred they were utilized for non-LIHEAP programs resulting in unallowable activities related to the LIHEAP funds. Criteria: LIHEAP grant funds should only be utilized for allowable LIHEAP program activities. Effect of Potential Effect: Management did not comply with allowable activities compliance requirements for the LIHEAP program and has a LIHEAP cash deficiency of $1,849,775 at June 30, 2022. Recommendation: We recommend that management follow the compliance requirements for the LIHEAP program and only utilize LIHEAP program cash for allowable program activities. Additionally, we recommend that management correct the cash deficiency. Views of Responsible Officials: Management agrees with the finding, see Corrective Action Plan. Corrective Action Planned: June 27, 2023. NEFWC entered into a repayment agreement with the Commonwealth of MA on June 27, 2023. Anticipated Completion Date: September 30, 2023.

Cause: There are two causes. ...
2022-007 (Repeat Finding): ALN: 93.568 LIHEAP/COVID-19 LIHEAP - Cash Management, Passthrough from Massachusetts Department of Housing and Community Development Condition: Management drawdowns of LIHEAP grant funds exceeded LIHEAP grant expenses during the fiscal year. Cause: There are two causes. First, management's routine grant drawdowns include more funds than needed for the LIHEAP program for incidentals and anticipated future costs. Therefore some of these LIHEAP drawdowns were not completely disbursed and $1,915,052 remains in deferred revenue at June 30, 2022. Second, a substantial portion of the COVID-19 LIHEAP ARPA grant was for Supplemental Benefits to prior year program participants. A drawdown of $11,675,500 was deposited to NEFWC's deposit account by Massachusetts DHCD in advance of the calculation and payment of client benefits related to these funds. The cash request was prepared and submitted by NEFWC on September 29, 2021 and approved by Massachusetts DHCD on September 29, 2021, and the receipt of funds by NEFWC was dated October 7, 2021. The calculation of the benefit amounts and recipients was subsequently performed by Massachusetts DHCD and NEFWC's payment of the client benefits, totaling $9,567,374, was paid on a check run dated November 1, 2021. As a result, the check run was $2,108,126 less than the advance cash receipt resulting in excess LIHEAP funds on- hand (deferred revenue). The total of these two causes is a deferred LIHEAP revenue balance at June 30, 2022 of $3,815,684. Criteria: Grant drawdowns should be made on a cost reimbursement basis and disbursed in accordance with cash management principles. Effect of Potential Effect: Management did not comply with cash management principles and as a result has deferred LIHEAP revenue of $3,815,684 at June 30, 2022. Recommendation: We recommend that management follow cash management principles and only draw down funds sufficient to reimburse actual expenditures. If excess funds are received they should be returned or accounted for in a subsequent funds request. Views of Responsible Officials: Management agrees with the finding, see Corrective Action Plan. Corrective Action Planned: June 27, 2023. NEFWC entered into a repayment agreement with the Commonwealth of MA on June 27, 2023. Anticipated Completion Date: September 30, 2023.

2022-002 Condition: Funds in the restricted cash account at June 30, 2022 of $1,965,909 are deficient to the same program deferred revenue funds of $3,815,684 by $1,849,775 on June 31, 2022. Cause: Program funds were retained in the centralized deposit account and not transferred to the program checking account. Criteria: Restricted bank accounts should be equal to program funds on hand. Effect of Potential Effect: Non-transfers of program funds to the program checking account can result in non-compliant use of program funds. Recommendation: We recommend that management immediately transfer program funds to program restricted accounts and retain any unspent funds in the restricted accounts.

2022-001 Condition: Cash receipts for the LIHEAP program are not adequately segregated from NEFWC's general operating accounts. Cause: NEFWC has a centralized deposit account to receive all Commonwealth of Massachusetts electronic program payments, including LIHEAP. Electronic payments received for LIHEAP are then transferred to the respective LIHEAP checking accounts to be available for the programs' disbursements. We noted that transfers to the LIHEAP account are made, but not in the exact amount when the cash is received. Some LIHEAP cash receipts remain in the centralized deposit account and are transferred when program disbursements are made. Criteria: The LIHEAP program grant receipts should be immediately deposited directly into the respective program checking accounts upon receipt. Effect or Possible Effect: Cash from the LIHEAP program could be utilized for NEFWC's other programs because it is not transferred from the centralized deposit account upon initial receipt. Recommendation: We recommend that management transfer the LIHEAP deposits immediately into the program's checking account or investigate the ability to have LIHEAP electronic payments made directly into the program checking account. Views of Responsible Officials: Management agrees with the finding, see Corrective Action Plan. Corrective Action Planned: Program contract not renewed, effective end date September 30, 2022. Anticipated Completion Date: Due to Program termination no further action required.

FINDING 2022-004 The 2022 97.024 Emergency Food and Shelter National Board Program grant funding was received during a crisis resulting in a unique situation for the City of Chicago. The funding was provided before the federal government set up an award identifier (i.e., ALN/CFDA, CSFA), resulting in the Delegate Agency contract with the Department of Family Support Services (DFSS) containing only the name of the Grant. To address and prevent such issues in the future, the City's Office of Budget and Management (OBM) will run a Comprehensive Report quarterly to identify any placeholder award identifiers during funding setup. The Grants Management Unit within OBM will collaborate closely with the Department of Finance (DOF) to ensure the federal award identifiers are promptly updated in the financial system. Moreover, to ensure accuracy and compliance, the Grants Management Unit will work with the relevant contracting Department to update contracts with Delegate Agencies. This measure will guarantee that all necessary award identifiers are included, streamlining the funding process and ensuring proper tracking and reporting of federal grants. Assistant Budget Director Belczak at the Office of Budget and Management will be responsible for ensuring that this corrective action plan is implemented by the beginning of the fourth quarter in October 2023.
