Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions
A. Improved Documentation for Basis of Cost Allocation for Employee Time Charges
Per the Associate Director of Contract Accounting, the Foundation reviewed all the invoices on the 1st and 2nd quarters of 2025 and noted that there were no other adjustments made relating to the invoices within the audit year ended December 31, 2024.
To further strengthen internal controls for reimbursement requests, the Foundation will implement the following procedures:
1. Prior to submission of reimbursement requests to the funder, the Contracts Manager for each grant will review the supporting documents and invoice template to ensure only final and fully supported data is invoiced.
2. Continue the practice of reviewing salary costs allocated to each grant in the payroll system, with the percentage charged to the funder to ensure only fully supported costs are billed.
B. Improved Documentation of Routinary Reviews of Employee Hours Charged to Grants
Per the Associate Director of Contract Accounting, the Foundation has a process to review staff allocated to a grant to ensure that hours and salary costs are allocated correctly at least quarterly, but also additional adjustments and reclasses may be posted at year-end to ensure completeness and that all expenditures are posted in the correct SEFA period as part of the SEFA review process.
C. Timecards Lacking Employee and Manager Approvals
Per the Associate Director of Contract Accounting, the Foundation has a process in place to ensure that employees and managers approve timecards every pay period and will continue making enhancements to this process to ensure that gaps do not occur subsequently.
