2024-002 - Late submission of reports Auditor Description of Condition and Effect: The Agency failed to submit the required report for the federal grant within the stipulated deadlines as outlined in the grant agreement and Uniform Guidance. During reporting testing, it was noted that the Final FFR report was not submitted into the Payment Management Services (PMS) prior to the required due date. Late submission of reports results in noncompliance with federal regulations, potentially leading to administrative actions such as withholding of future grant funds, increased monitoring, or other penalties as deemed appropriate by the Federal awarding agency. The Agency did not comply with contractual reporting requirements. Auditor Recommendation: We recommend the Agency implement procedures to ensure timely submission of all required reports. Corrective Action: The Agency will implement a system of reviewing the semi-annual and annual federal financial reporting which would include the reports being prepared by the Financial Grants Manager, reviewed by the Chief Financial Officer and submitted by the Chief Executive Officer, all of whom will be aware of the reporting due dates as to ensure they are filed timely. Responsible Person: Anthony J Samon, CFO Anticipated Completion Date: Immediately, the Agency’s next FFR due date is September 30th.

2024-001 - Missing evidence of review and approval Auditor Description of Condition and Effect: During our testing of Allowable Costs, we noted 4 disbursements tested did not have signed and approved purchase orders. During our testing of Reporting, we noted two quarterly reports that had no evidence of review and approval. During our Eligibility testing, we noted one applicant whose certification form was not signed by the supervisor. As a result of this condition, there is an increased risk of unallowable expenses being charged to the grant, inaccurate financial reporting, allowing ineligible participants to receive grant benefits and other potential noncompliance with federal regulations. Auditor Recommendation: We recommend the Agency adheres to their internal control process of an independent review and approval of transactions and reporting related to federal grant programs. Corrective Action: The Agency will review the accounts payable/purchase order approval process with the finance department, all of whom were new (or the position vacant) during much of the period being examined, to ensure they understand the various requirements. The Agency will verify the review of the semi-annual and annual federal financial reporting by signing off on the reports after various staff have reviewed them. Responsible Person: Anthony J Samon, CFO Anticipated Completion Date: June 15, 2025

CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN Year Ended June 30, 2024 Finding Number: 2024-001 Planned Corrective Action: Cleveland Play House has had difficulties with finding a long-term replacement for the Director of Finance roll and thus the position has experienced much turnover since June of 2023. During this time period, practices have been put in place for the reviewing of grant draws and the approval of time and effort logs. However, the turnover has led to inconsistency with the application of these practices. While the Director of Finance position remains temporarily staffed, there has been improvement in the following of industry best practice for the monitoring of time and effort and grant expenditures. Based on the reduction in questioned costs down from prior year findings and with the continued adherence to best practices for grant costs, Cleveland Play House continues to work towards a clean audit for the fiscal 2025 year ending June 30th, 2025.

Management’s Action Plan: The Neighborhoods Department is committed to ensuring wage rate requirements for contractors and subcontractors are prioritized and internal controls are properly documented. In particular, evidence of approvals needed to ensure compliance with allowable costs, cost principles and period of performance requirements will be documented for all invoices and payroll allocations. Weekly payroll reports will be reviewed as part of the special tests and provisions needed to comply with wage rate requirements. A Labor Standards and Construction Manager has been hired to monitor all contracts with labor standard regulations, including wage rate requirements. This individual will be tasked with setting up tracking systems and monitoring compliance of the various City departments, as well as external subrecipients, to ensure all regulations and requirements for labor standards are followed. Currently, City Departments using federal funds through a MOU with the Neighborhoods Department can access funds and pay vendors without a review by the Housing & Community Development Division’s team. This has led to vendors being paid without submitting the proper wage rate requirement documentation. To mitigate this challenge, the Division has recommended that funds appropriated to other City departments be held by the Housing & Community Development Division, so that verification of wage rate requirements can occur prior to any payment for services. We will ensure that the written procedures for controls include the title of the positions responsible for each control (preparation, review, reconciliation, etc.) and require that the performance of the controls be documented in a clear, reperformable manner including the name of each responsible individual, the specific control they performed over compliance for the grant and the date(s) the controls were performed. Contact Names responsible for the plan – Travis Jeffrey Anticipated completion date of the plan – September 2025

Auditor recommendation: The County should develop and implement policies and procedures to ensure that all reports are reviewed by someone other than the preparer. Management response: Agree Target date to complete implementation activities: July 2026 Name of specific point of contact for implementation: Ryan Bansbach, Deputy CFO, Housing, 503.846.8811 Response: The Housing Authority of Washington County (HAWC) is addressing these findings by implementing systems and policies that require secondary review of reports and determinations prior to upward reporting, voucher issuance, or tenant move-in. HAWC implemented systems in 2025 where the staff preparing and submitting the HUD 52681-B form will send to the form to the Program Manager or Designee for review and approval stamp before the form is submitted to HUD in the VMS or eVMS system. A checklist has been created and a system updated on routing files after review for eligibility to have a secondary review and final approval prior to issuance of voucher by the program supervisor, program manager, or designee. Additional training and internal quality control checks will be implemented to ensure that metric is met. HAWC has also established checklists and procedures to ensure Rent Reasonableness is reviewed and approved prior to tenant move-in, using a third-party system to conduct the rent reasonableness determinations. This metric will also be added to the internal quality control procedures to monitor compliance.

Auditor recommendation: The County should develop and implement policies and procedures to ensure that all HQS inspections are reviewed and retained. Management response: Agree Target date to complete implementation activities: July 2026 Name of specific point of contact for implementation: Ryan Bansach, Deputy CFO, Housing, 503.846.8811 Response: During the audit period, the Housing Authority of Washington County (HAWC) was actively expanding its inspection team, increasing from two to five inspectors. This significant growth, coupled with an increase in the number of units and the ongoing recovery from COVID-19-related operational challenges, contributed to this isolated instance. HAWC has implemented robust reporting mechanisms to monitor inspection schedules and proactively identify any units approaching or exceeding the 24-month inspection window. We are confident that these enhanced procedures and our expanded inspection team will ensure timely NSPIRE/HQS inspections for all HCV and PBV program units moving forward.
