UWGC does not have specific policies and procedures in place as to how monthly personnel costs across federal programs will be aggregated and charged and reported to federal programs. Management’s Corrective Action Plan: UWGC has developed a procedure as outlined below in “Payroll Allocation Grants” to ensure that prior to submission of invoices to federal awarding agencies, management prepares a monthly analysis based on 211 call logs to support the actual amounts allocated across all programs and invoiced to the awarding agencies that are reconciled to payroll reports, which then will allow UWGC to present evidence that all hours submitted for reimbursement are supported with the appropriate allocation. The process will include management staff from both 211 and finance departments thus maintaining internal controls. Additionally, this procedure will be reviewed at least annually by both departments as it relates to the allocation methodology to ensure that its appropriate given changes in the program and workforce.

2024-002 - Activities Allowed or Unallowed; Allowable Costs/Cost Principles UWGC does not have specific policies and procedures in place as to how monthly personnel costs across federal programs will be aggregated and charged to federal programs. Management’s Corrective Action Plan:UWGC has developed a procedure as outlined below in “Payroll Allocation Grants” to ensure that prior to submission of invoices to federal awarding agencies, management prepares a monthly analysis based on 211 call logs to support the actual amounts allocated across all programs and invoiced to the awarding agencies that are reconciled to payroll reports, which then will allow UWGC to present evidence that all hours submitted for reimbursement are supported with the appropriate allocation. The process will include management staff from both 211 and finance departments thus maintaining internal controls. Additionally, this procedure will be reviewed at least annually by both departments as it relates to the allocation methodology to ensure that its appropriate given changes in the program and workforce. PROCEDURE: Payroll Allocation Grants Purpose UWGC requires the practice of responsible and reasonable procedures related to methods of allocated staff time and costs to 211 grants and/or contract funded initiatives/programs which is effective as of April 15, 2024. This procedure describes the steps that will be implemented and adhered to when allocating staff salary costs to 211 programs. The goal of this process is to ensure that consistent, adequately documented, and all appropriate materials are generated and reviewed monthly. Procedure 211 Call Logs: at the end of each month the 211 Manager will generate a monthly call log which tracks 211 calls by categories that coincide with specific programs and/or geographic area for services. The report is then emailed monthly to the Finance Senior Director who then utilizes the report to create a percentage of time spent on each program and then attributes staff salaries and benefits in line with the percentage of calls for each month. Staff who work on isolated call programs, for example 311, Utilities,OHIZ programs, will be excluded from the call log allocation method as the calls for these teams are specifically driven. Supervisors who oversee more than one program will perform a time allocation study at least annually or when there is a change in program supervision responsibility. Program Billing: The Finance Manager and/or responsible Program Billing Manager will utilize the call log percentages journal to allocate time to programs for reporting information in the appropriate monthly, quarterly, or annual report to the funding source.
The District will reduce net cash resources by investing in capital equiment where necessary and allocating direct cost overhead expenditures.

Identifying Number: 2024-001 Condition: Controls in place did not minimize the time elapsing between the transfer receipt of billing from the subrecipient and disbursement of federal dollars to the subrecipient in accordance with the guidance above. Corrective Actions Taken or Planned: Federation typically receives vouchers from 14 subrecipient organizations approximately ten days after the end of each month. The number of vouchers per agency depends on the number of programs they provide. Staff reviews the vouchers for allowability and accuracy and submits them to the Illinois Department of Human Services (IDHS) within 24 days of month end. During fiscal year 2024, the IDHS remitted payment to Federation anywhere from 48 to 124 days after the month end. Upon receipt of the cash, Federation pays subrecipient organizations within thirty days. In the instances identified by the auditors, the IDHS remitted payment over 30 days after Federation submitted the vouchers for reimbursement. Federation’s longstanding policy has always been to reimburse each subrecipient agency after it has received payment from the IDHS. Prior to fiscal year 2024, the IDHS usually provided payment within 15 days of receipt of our voucher and therefore Federation was able to comply with the 30-day requirement. However, reimbursement delays from IDHS occurred during fiscal year 2024 resulting in the findings describe herein. To ensure compliance with the 30-day reimbursement requirement, Federation will formally request an advance from the IDHS. Kyu Kim, Director of Finance and Contract Compliance, Refugee Services will be responsible for the oversight of the reimbursement payments and will ensure the Federation adheres to the 30 day requirement going forward. Responsible Person: Kyu Kim Anticipated Completion Date: July 2025

Recommendation: Closer attention should be paid when performing the review of payroll to ensure that all employee hours and dollars are accurate and in agreement with the supporting documentation (ie. employee time sheets). Also, the employee should be retroactively paid. Action Taken: The underpaid employee already received retroactive compensation in the pay period ended August 30, 2024 to rectify the error. A secondary review process will be implemented which will involve a designated staff member reconciling hours recorded on timesheets with the payroll system entries before final approval. Staff involved in payroll processing will be reminded on the importance of accuracy and the potential implications of errors. This will include step-by-step instructions for validating payroll entries.
Recommendation: Closer attention should be paid when preparing the requests for reimbursement to ensure only allowable expenses are being included in the request.

Recommendation: Closer attention should be paid when preparing the requests for reimbursement to ensure only allowable expenses are being included in the request. A secondary review of the request and supporting documentation should be performed by someone other than the preparer. Action Taken: A detailed checklist will be introduced to ensure all requests for reimbursement match supporting payroll documentation. This checklist will include a reconciliation step for timesheet data and payroll disbursement records. Staff involved in grant management and reimbursement preparation will receive additional instruction on federal compliance requirements, with a focus on allowable costs and activities.

Management acknowledges errors made in the procurement process related to contracting with the architectural services vendor for the ARPA project. To address this, SE is in the process of amending the contract to comply with 2 CFR requirements. Moving forward, all federal construction projects will be bid and contracted using a fixed-cost method. Additionally, the procurement process is being revised to include a vendor review through SAM.gov prior to awarding contracts. This review will ensure that the selected vendor is not suspended or debarred by the federal government at the time of the award. SE staff have attended multiple 2 CFR training webinars hosted by the Economic Development Administration and Maximus Higher Education. These sessions have been instrumental in equipping staff with the necessary knowledge to manage future federally funded projects in compliance with regulations. Responsible Official: Mike Stout, Director of Administrative Services, is working with the specific vendor to amend the current contract to adhere to 2 CFR requirements. Crystal Cheek, Comptroller, will update procurement policies to ensure that vendors are verified through SAM.gov before an award is made. Estimated Completion Date: All amendments and updates are on schedule to be completed in January 2025.

SE did not verify that a 16-year-old household member listed on a verification form as "in college" was a concurrent high school student, due to the student's age. The number in college reported on the FAFSA reflected what was believed to be accurate at the time. While SE is no longer required to verify the number in college, going forward, SE will document any discrepancies to support determinations. To strengthen controls around verification, SE will also document any changes made during the verification process and provide supporting evidence for determinations. Additionally, SE will conduct internal audits of the verification process and review the cases of affected students.

Management acknowledges receipt of the audit report concerning our internal controls related to the review of reimbursement request worksheets. We appreciate the insight provided in identifying areas for improvement. While multiple levels of internal review were conducted during the creation of the base worksheet, we recognize the addition of columns could inadvertently introduce minor calculation errors and minor, inadvertent employee input errors could occur. To address this, we have implemented a procedure requiring that all worksheets undergo a review by an individual who did not prepare the original reimbursement request.

Management agrees with the finding. To determine any students who may have had an incorrect Return of Title IV aid (R2T4) processed, the financial aid office reviewed all students who withdrew to determine if recalculation was required for both the fall 2023 and spring 2024 semesters. • For the fall 2023 semester, the setup in Powerfaids had the break days correctly listed but two students did not have break days included in the R2T4 calculation that was processed. These students were reprocessed, and additional Pell disbursements were requested from COD on December 3, 2024. • For the spring 2024 semester, the setup in Powerfaids did not include the correct amount of break days. Spring break was 8 days and so we recalculated all students who withdrew during this semester and processed applicable adjustments (positive or negative) on December 3 or December 11, 2024. Management at the System Office will work with SMCC and KVCC management to implement a process to verify the setup for the R2T4 calculation which verifies correct dates are included within the semester calendar. The System will assign review of details in the batch of calculations and establish verification as calculations are scanned to the student file. The timing of this resolution is anticipated to occur in Spring 2025. Richard Rosen, Chief Financial Officer (Interim), is responsible for the corrective action plan.

2024-003 – Education Stabilization Fund – Prevailing wage rate requirements Criteria: Wage rate requirements apply to the Education Stabilization Fund when laborers and mechanics employed by contractors or subcontractors work on construction contracts more than $2,000. Laborers must be paid wages not less than those established for the locality of the project (prevailing wage rates) by the Department of Labor (DOL). Nonfederal entities shall include in their contracts, subject to wage rate requirements, a provision that the contractor or subcontractor comply with those requirements and the DOL regulations. This includes a requirement for the contractor or subcontractor to submit to the District weekly payrolls and a statement of compliance (certified payrolls). Condition: There was one Education Stabilization Fund construction project performed by a subcontractor. Grant expenditures for the project paid by the Education Stabilization Fund totaled $33,192. There was not a prevailing wage clause in the contract and certified payrolls were not received. Cause: The District was not aware that wage rate requirements applied to the construction project. Effect: A reimbursement request was made for expenditures that did not comply with wage rate requirements. Questioned Costs: $33,192 Auditor’s Recommendation: Establish controls to comply with wage rate requirements related to the Education Stabilization Fund. Management Response: The District will comply with the wage rate requirements for the Education Stabilization Fund going forward.
