Finding 2022-001 (Significant Deficiency) Condition: The final performance report for the grant year requires the submission of additional performance metrics. The reported metrics included correct underlying data; however, two of the nine required metrics included calculation errors for the grant year ended June 30, 2022. Criteria: 2 CFR 200.303(a) states the Association is required to establish and maintain effective internal control over the federal award that provides reasonable assurance that the non-federal entity is managing the federal award in compliance with federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of the federal award. Cause: Secondary review of performance calculations were not performed. Effect: Not providing accurate performance metrics may lead to inaccurate conclusions on the program's effectiveness. Corrective Plan: The agency has put into place a secondary review in which the report is prepared by the Program Coordinator, in conjunction with the Administrative Assistant, and then reviewed for accuracy by the Senior Director of Grants and Aging. Additionally, the Senior Director will require supporting documentation of metrics being evaluated in conjunction with the report itself to further ensure accuracy.

2022-003 Finding: Procurement, Suspension and Debarment Non-federal entities are prohibited from contracting with or making subawards under covered transactions to parties that are suspended or debarred. Out of five loans selected for testing, two of the loan agreements did not include a representation that the borrower is not currently debarred, suspended, excluded, or disqualified by any Federal department or agency, and no other procedures were performed by the Organization to determine if these two borrowers were debarred, suspended, excluded, or disqualified. A subsequent review of the borrowers determined that neither was debarred, suspended, excluded, or disqualified. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions: Management agrees with this finding. MCCD currently has a section in its loan documents for borrowers to certify that they, any coborrowers or principals, are not presently debarred, suspended, or proposed for debarment from transactions by any Federal department or agency. The two loans referenced in the finding are loans where MCCD was a participating lender; we used the lead lender?s loan documents. The lead lender?s loan documents did not have a section for the borrower to certify they are not debarred, suspended or are being proposed for debarment from transactions by Federal departments or agencies. MCCD will create and implement a policy to verify that borrowers are not debarred, suspended or are being proposed for debarment from transactions by Federal departments or agencies when making a participation loan. MCCD?s Loan Program staff will (1) check the suspension and debarment list through the federal government?s website, and (2) save a copy of the of the results to the borrower?s loan file. Responsible Official: Trish DeAnda, Chief Financial Officer Completion Date: April 21, 2023

As mentioned in the above finding, because of this condition, ?there was no monetary impact? or material noncompliance with other compliance requirements reported.? We accept the recommendation of a secondary review of monthly reports prior to submission to OAF and CSDJFS. The secondary reviewer will be a staff member or a manager other than the preparer who is knowledgeable of compliance requirements.

As of the date of this letter, implementation of the corrective action plan has been initiated. It will be completed by January 2024 at the close of the December 2023 TANF reporting.
