Views of Responsible Officials: RFE/RL Finance has provided clarification and additional guidance to Department Directors and the Procurement team to reinforce the importance of documenting the steps and decisions that result in a Sole-Source justification in the requisition process. Management has engaged Procurement consultants who have produced clear purchasing guidelines for the company including documentation requirements. RFE/RL has hired a new Procurement Director with the responsibility to improve management of the process and direction to the procurement team to ensure that support for sole source purchases is complete, maintained, and made available for review during the audit process and upon management request. Management believes that substantial progress has been made in either justifying sole source acquisitions within the limits of 2 CFR 200.320 or requiring competitive bids since the new Procurement Director has been appointed. It is Management?s intent to continue to operate in a way that removes this significant deficiency as a concern.

Views of Responsible Officials: RFE/RL Management fully agrees on the need to ensure our policies and procedures demonstrate adherence to the requirements of the Patriot Act. The process for new employee screening will be reviewed and modified to ensure documented compliance. New vendor and contractor screening is conducted and now fully documented during the initial procurement/contracting process in our Prague office. Additionally, RFE/RL has implemented a process for regular, automated Office of Foreign Asset Control (OFAC) screening of all vendors in FY23. A similar process for regular, automated System Award Management (SAM) screening is in process. Once implemented, these systems will ensure that all vendors on RFE/RL?s supplier list will be reviewed annually.

Views of Responsible Officials: RFE/RL?s Finance management team understands the importance of accurate and timely account reconciliations. Asset and liability account reconciliations are prioritized, prepared, and reviewed on a schedule in line with the level of activity in the account and in accordance with the best use of limited staff resources. Accounts with a large quantity of monthly transactions or significant dollar amounts are reconciled monthly; those with little activity may be reviewed quarterly or annually. An accounting close and reconciliation management tool that will create more accountability and insight into account analysis across locations is being implemented in FY23. Staff will be trained to ensure their reconciliation provides clear information to any outside finance professional as to the items that make up the balance in the account and amounts are to be easily traceable to support documentation that they can provide upon request. Auditors will have access via the software to all account reconciliations upon demand.

These records must comply with the established written accounting policies and practices of the District, and support the distribution of salaries and wages among specific activities or cost objectives while reasonably reflecting the total activity for which the employee is compensated. Condition: Although the District ultimately obtained Payroll Certification Forms from the employees funded through these federal funds, they did not comply with their written procedures regarding the timeliness of obtaining signed Payroll Certification Forms from employees whose salaries were funded through federal funds. Cause: The District did not take timely action to obtain Payroll Certification Forms from employees whose salaries were funded through federal funds. Effect: The salaries for employees who worked on the grant were not properly supported to be in compliance with the District?s written procedures and the Uniform Guidance. Questioned Costs: None. Recommendation: We recommend the District comply with their written policies and procedures to be in compliance with the Uniform Guidance. District?s Response: The District?s response is included in their corrective plan. FINDING #2021-003 According to Uniform Guidance Section 200.430 Compensation ?

These records must comply with the established written accounting policies and practices of the District, and support the distribution of salaries and wages among specific activities or cost objectives while reasonably reflecting the total activity for which the employee is compensated. The District did not obtain Payroll Certification Forms from the employees funded through these federal funds and thus, they did not comply with their written procedures regarding obtaining signed Payroll Certification Forms from employees whose salaries were funded through federal funds. We recommended the District comply with their written policies and procedures to be in compliance with the Uniform Guidance. STATUS: Not Implemented DISTRICT?S RESPONSE East Ramapo Central School District Office of Funded Programs (OFP) has reviewed and revised their standards for the documentation of Personnel Expenses to ensure payroll certification forms are prepared in a timely and accurate manner. These procedures adhere to the Uniform Guidance Section 200.430. The OFP Accountant, Renee Vaughan, will establish an internal database to record all employees whose salaries are fully or partially supported with Federal funds. Initial records will be based on Budget estimates derived during the FS-10 process. Upon Approval of a Federal Grant, the OFP Accountant will generate from the internal database, (1) a report with a list of employees whose salaries are fully or partially supported with Federal funds and (2) Personnel Activity Report (PAR) forms for each employee. The OFP Accountant will also produce an informational sheet to accompany the PAR forms. This informational sheet will include a statement about the purpose of the PAR, monthly return-by dates, procedures for changes, etc. The same action will be taken when an employee starts or changes position within the Grant period. The OFP Assistant, Donna Tanner, will distribute these materials to the appropriate employees at the beginning of the grant year. When responses are received, the OFP Assistant will review the form for completion. Completed forms will be marked as such on the report list and returned to the OFP Accountant. Incomplete forms will be returned to the employee for completion. The OFP Assistant will continually follow-up with employees regarding forms not returned by the return-by dates established in the information sheet. Non-responsive PAR requests will be brought to the attention of the Superintendent and the Office of Personnel. The OFP will keep physical and or digital record of each signed PAR. The OFP Accountant will track the completion of forms in the internal database, as well as record any changes in the internal database. Any changes to allocations will prompt the creation and distribution of a new PAR form. At the end of each quarter, OFP Accountant will provide a detailed PAR report to the OFP Executive Director, Dr. Daniel Shanahan. This procedure was initiated in November 2022 and continues to be in effect presently.

Action taken in response to finding: This student was awarded an incorrect amount because a subsequent ISIR transaction was received but the Pell was not recalculated on the basis of the new information. After this discovery, we have taken the following actions in response: ?

We found that our system for monitoring new transactions was deficient; if a set of conditions were aligned, a new transaction could slip by our notice. Implemented by August 2022. ? We added another layer of review wherein the output of both the messages we receive from our third-party verification partner and our internal reports associated with importing ISIRS are examined on a regular basis. New transactions on students with a current locked transaction are reported to staff members for further review. Implemented by August 2022. ? We wrote an ad hoc report that allows us to identify subsequent ISIR transactions and will run it regularly to reduce the likelihood of this issue occurring again. Implemented by August 2022.

Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding.

In our review, we found that three students had Title IV aid incorrectly processed as ?student refund checks? whose initial disbursement date was more than 240 days before the date of discovery. As a result, we reported those checks to the auditors when asked for outstanding Title IV checks. We have taken the following actions in response to this item: ? We have developed a ?Time Out / Reversal? workgroup that includes members of both the financial aid and fiscal services department to ensure that reissuance of checks does not occur automatically (pre-existing, but this workgroup allows us to address this issue). ? We have trained the workgroup members specifically on the importance of the 240 day limit. Implemented by September 2022. ?
