Finding: The Organization did not have adequate and effective controls over compliance in place as it relates to activities allowed or unallowed and allowable costs. We noted Instances where payroll and non-payroll related expenditures did not have documentation of review. Corrective Response: Management is committed to strengthening how we track and allocate hours to grant-funded projects to ensure full compliance with 2 CFR 200.430. Going forward, the organization will implement a time study approach to support the allocation of personnel costs to federal grants. Employees working across multiple funding sources will participate in periodic time studies designed to reasonably estimate the distribution of their time based on actual activities performed. The results of these time studies will be used as the basis for allocating payroll costs to the appropriate grants, and will be supported by documentation and supervisory review. We will also implement consistent tools and processes to ensure allocations are applied systematically across all funding sources. On a monthly basis, the finance team will review and reconcile payroll allocations to ensure they align with the established methodology. In addition, we will provide training and ongoing oversight to reinforce compliance and prevent similar Issues In the future.

CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN Oversight Agency for Audit: U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development The Town of Oak Bluffs, Massachusetts respectfully submits the following corrective action plan for the year ended June 30, 2024. Name and address of independent public accounting firm: CBIZ CPAs P.C. 53 State Street, 17th Floor Boston, MA 02109 Audit period: July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2024 The finding from the June 30, 2024, schedule of findings and questioned costs is discussed below. The finding is numbered consistently with the number assigned in the schedule. Financial Statement Finding 2024-001 – Document Policies and Procedures Over Federal Awards Condition: During our audit, we noted that the Town did not have formal policies and procedures in place covering the requirements of Uniform Guidance as specified in 2 CFR Part 200. Certain elements, such as procurement standards, subrecipient monitoring, internal control, and other compliance areas, were not addressed in written policies or documented procedures. Criteria: Uniform Guidance (2 CFR Part 200) requires non-federal entities administering federal awards to establish and maintain written policies and procedures to address all requirements specified in the regulations, including but not limited to internal controls, determination of allowable costs, procurement, subrecipient monitoring, financial management, and reporting. Cause: The Town has not developed comprehensive written policies and procedures to address all compliance requirements under Uniform Guidance. Effect: The absence of written policies and procedures increases the risk of noncompliance with federal requirements, reduces consistency in federal program administration, and limits transparency and accountability. Recommendation The Town should develop and implement comprehensive written policies and procedures that address all major compliance requirements under Uniform Guidance (2 CFR Part 200). Periodic review and updates should be performed to ensure ongoing compliance. Views of Responsible Officials: We have been reviewing existing workflows, and unwritten procedures, relative to our management and oversight of federal awards either received directly from the federal or from another intermediary pass-through agency. Once our review is complete, we will commit those procedures to writing and present them to the Select Boad for approval. The anticipation is that we will have documented policies and procedures, that are compliant with the Uniform Guidance, in time for the FY2026 audit.

Criteria Uniform Guidance requires management to provide reasonable assurance that federal awards are expended only for allowable activities, that the cost of goods and services charged to federal awards are allowable and in accordance with the specific cost principles, and to ensure expenditures were incurred and paid prior to requesting for reimbursement. Condition The Organization lacked controls over purchasing and payments to vendors. More specifically, there was no formal process for approving invoices before payment to vendors. There is inadequate segregation of duties among those who: (1) Initiate routine transactions and (2) Review, evaluate, or approve routine transactions. There is also a lack of documentation of reviews performed and closing and reconciliation procedures. Cause The board and management of the Organization did not have adequate financial expertise to exercise effective oversight or design and implement a control environment or control activities sufficient to carry out the objectives of the Organization during the fiscal year. Effect The Organization cannot ensure that its activities and costs charged to the federal award program were allowable during the audit period conducted. Recommendation We recommend the Organization design and implement written accounting policies and procedures to formally approve invoices before payment to vendors to ensure proper segregation of duties.
