Further, OMH initiated an expense report process to review award specific expense reports for the Mental Health Block grant in SFY2024-25. Additionally, while a formalized risk assessment was not conducted, one has been developed to assess subrecipient risk of noncompliance. This risk assessment will be used in conjunction with the review of award specific expense reports to determine those subrecipients that need additional monitoring. Applicable policies and procedures will be updated as appropriate upon completion. Lastly, OMH has adopted a tracking mechanism that will be used to track and review all subrecipient single audit submissions during the upcoming review cycle.

State Agency: Office of Children and Family Services Program Name: Social Services Block Grant ALN #: 93.667 Single Audit Contact: Bonnie Hahn Title: Audit Liaison Telephone: (518) 486-1034 E-mail Address: Bonnie.Hahn@ocfs.ny.gov Audit Report Reference: 2025-006 Anticipated Completion Date: 3/31/2026 Corrective Action Planned: The Office of Children and Family Services (OCFS) Bureau of Local District Services and Financial Systems (BLDSFS) has implemented enhanced fiscal monitoring to review Local Department of Social Services (LDSS) claims in accordance with the Federal Code of Regulations; (CFR) 45 CFR 75.352(d) and 45 CFR 75.352(e) to ensure the federal funds (Title XX and Title XX TANF transfer funds) spent by the local districts were spent in compliance with federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of the subaward. The BLDSFS enhanced fiscal monitoring activities (started in SFY 22-23) include a review of supporting documentation to determine the adequacy and appropriateness of Title XX claims. The goal is to review each county once every year selecting the highest risk counties first based on the annual risk assessment. In addition to the enhanced fiscal monitoring being conducted by BLDSFS, the Division of Child Welfare and Community Services (CWCS) has developed monitoring procedures for on-site reviews of participants that have received services under the Social Services Block Grant (Title XX, which also includes Title XX TANF transfer funds) to determine if they were eligible to receive those services. CWCS has created a check list to be used during each case review and began onsite reviews of documentation supporting the Title XX payments made on behalf of eligible individuals on March 26, 2025. Since that date, CWCS has reviewed 33 Title XX cases in six local districts. Of these cases, 9 were funded by TANF transfer funds. The schedule of monitoring activities performed by OCFS will be determined based on the annual Title XX risk assessment and will consist of approximately 48 cases per quarter, beginning 1/1/2026.

State Agency: Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance Program Name: Low-Income Home Energy Assistance ALN #: 93.568 Single Audit Contact: Thomas Cooper Title: Deputy Commissioner – Audit & Quality Improvement Telephone: (518) 402-0148 E-mail Address: Thomas.Cooper@otda.ny.gov Audit Report Reference: 2025-005 Anticipated Completion Date: 9/30/2026 Corrective Action Planned: Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance (OTDA) Home Energy Assistance Program (HEAP) policy manual was provided to the auditors on June 13, 2025, “applications and documentation, including notices must be retained for a period of six program years, including the current program year for Regular, Emergency, Cooling, and Clean and Tune”. This control is tested yearly during annual reviews, as indicated in the written procedure that was provided to the auditors on June 23, 2025. In addition, HEAP’s record retention policy is included in Eligibility and Certification Trainings that are required by new Department of Social Services staff and reinforced through online trainings. The enclosed finding involved a case with Albany County, which was last reviewed by the OTDA HEAP Bureau in 2023. As a result of that audit, OTDA HEAP required a Corrective Action Plan (CAP) to be submitted to the Bureau for several issues including incomplete case records. Albany County’s CAP was submitted to the Bureau and approved on July 29, 2024. In response to Albany County’s 2024 CAP and the finding identified in the Single State Audit, OTDA will review districts during the upcoming 2025-2026 monitoring review. Any findings related to the Albany County review will be conveyed to the Albany County Commissioner of the Department of Social Services and require a CAP, if necessary. Additionally, in 2025 the HEAP Bureau refined its CAP approval process and developed new follow-up procedures to ensure districts are taking adequate steps to successfully execute their CAP.
State Agency: Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance Program Name: Child Support Services ALN #: 93.563 Single Audit Contact: Thomas Cooper Title: Deputy Commissioner – Audit & Quality Improvement Telephone: (518) 473-6035 E-mail Address: Thomas.cooper@otda.ny.gov Audit Report Reference: 2025...
State Agency: Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance Program Name: Child Support Services ALN #: 93.563 Single Audit Contact: Thomas Cooper Title: Deputy Commissioner – Audit & Quality Improvement Telephone: (518) 473-6035 E-mail Address: Thomas.cooper@otda.ny.gov Audit Report Reference: 2025-004 Anticipated Completion Date: 12/31/2026 Corrective Action Planned: The Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance (OTDA) enters into grant agreements with local districts to provide programmatic services for the Child Support Services program. Local districts initially cover 100% of costs incurred under the grant and periodically submit requests for reimbursement to the State of New York for services rendered. OTDA reimburses local districts only for the federal share of the costs incurred, while the local districts provide the matching funds required by the State of New York. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, OTDA relied upon the local districts’ match rate of 34% to ensure the State met their matching requirements of the Child Support Services program. The audit identified that OTDA does not have a process or internal controls in place to verify the sources of funds used by local districts to meet the matching requirements of the federal program awards, ensuring that these sources are allowable under federal regulations. OTDA will enhance the monitoring of subrecipients to ensure funds utilized by subrecipients for costsharing or matching purposes are in accordance with 45 CFR 75.306(b). OTDA will determine the appropriate business unit to assume this responsibility and develop appropriate procedures such as requiring attestations from subrecipients that the source of matching funds is allowable, develop risk-based sampling of subrecipients to perform audits to ensure the allowability of matching funds, etc. OTDA will work towards operationalizing the corrective action with an anticipated implementation date of December 31, 2026.

State Agency: Office of Children and Family Services Program Name: Rehabilitation Services – Vocational Rehabilitation Grants to States ALN #: 84.126 Single Audit Contact: Bonnie Hahn Title: Audit Liaison Telephone: (518) 486-1034 E-mail Address: Bonnie.hahn@ocfs.ny.gov Audit Report Reference: 2025-001 Anticipated Completion Date: 3/31/2026 Corrective Action Planned: The New York State Commission for the Blind (NYSCB) opens and maintains cases of blind and visually impaired individuals who apply for vocational rehabilitation and low vision services. Participants can apply and receive services multiple times, which can result in reporting more than one cycle on the RSA-911. In some cycles, the cases were open for more than 10 years, so the original application date is reflected on the RSA-911. These instances resulted in missing signatures on applications or Individualized Plans for Employment (IPE). The NYSCB has implemented a process that requires each Senior Vocational Rehabilitation Counselor (SVRC) to select 5 cases per month to complete an internal case review. There are two Internal case review forms used- one is for the case to be reviewed at IPE development or re-development and the other form is for the case to be reviewed at placement/case closure. If the SVRC finds documentation or signatures missing, they will notify the Vocational Rehabilitation Counselor (VRC) of the missing information by providing the completed form with their comments and follow up required. This process will continue. NYSCB will be providing further training to VRCs who complete applications and develop IPEs to emphasize the importance of having the participants sign the required forms. In addition, NYSCB will be providing training to the supervisors (including SVRCs and District Managers) in each district office when applications are taken by telephone to provide reasonable accommodations to our blind participants. Senior management will develop a written protocol which each district will be required to follow for how to manage accepting applications and signatures when cases are assigned to VRCs.

The 501-18 grant was complicated by the COVID epidemic and we encountered significant delays. Our remaining on-going grants were expended timely. We were not aware of the requirement to submit a voucher request and actually draw down grant funds to be used for operating costs before they are obligated. Going forward, we will request and draw those funds down prior to reporting those funds as being obligated.

Management of American University agrees with this finding and proposes the following Corrective Action Plan: Finding 2025-001 Reporting Grantor: Department of Transportation Program: Highway Safety Cluster Assistance Listing #: 20.600 Award Year: 07/1/2024 - 06/30/2025 Pass-through Entity: DC District Department of Transportation (DDOT) Pass-through Number: PT10197 Corrective Action Plan: American University acknowledges that the FY2025 End of Year Report under the Grant Agreement with the District of Columbia Department of Transportation was not retained due to the departure of the Principal Investigator, which limited access to the report. To prevent recurrence, the University has required additional research administration training for relevant staff, implemented centralized submission of all technical reports through the Office of Sponsored Awards and Research Administration, and enhanced grant closeout procedures to ensure all deliverables are captured when a PI departs. Periodic internal reviews will confirm that required reports are retained centrally and accessible as needed. Date of completion: June 30, 2026

Finding Number: 2025-001 Condition: The 2025 Schedule was initially overstated to include federal awards relating to ALN 14.251, Economic Development Initiative, Community Project Funding, and Miscellaneous Grants, expended during the year ended June 30, 2024. Planned Corrective Action: Food Bank of the Rockies, Inc. received a reimbursement grant for vehicles from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). While we purchased the vehicles in fiscal year 2024, we could not file the claim for reimbursement until fiscal year 2025. Guidance on the HUD claims process was greatly delayed for multiple reasons. We posted the cost and asset when ordered, following accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). However, we did not include the funding on the 2024 Schedule as we had not yet filed the reimbursement claims, nor been given assurance they would be paid. Instead, we included it in the fiscal year 2025 Schedule as that was when the claims were filed and we had confirmation they would be paid in full. We understand now that, per Uniform Guidance 2 CFR 200.51(b), those funds should have been shown the fiscal year 2024 Schedule. With this understanding, moving forward we will include in the Schedule amounts that have been spent for which we have an agreement for reimbursement, regardless of timing of the claim being filed or level of certainty of reimbursement.
