Criteria: Recipients of federal awards must minimize the time elapsing between the receipt of funds from the U.S. Treasury and disbursement by the Organization set out at 2 CFR section 200.305(b). Audit Recommendation: We recommend that the Organization 1) maintains timely and accurate recording of disbursements in its job‐costing system and 2) regularly request grant funds based on amounts expended as report in the Organization’s job‐costing system. Auditee Response: UICSL has limited access to its accounting system and removed access by outsourced financial management personnel. In addition to better invoicing structure, UICSL also revised its job-costing system to better comply with these requirements. Together, these systems will be used to request only the amount of attributable ot the programs for reimbursement-based grant funding. Corrective Action Plan: All transactions are logged into the accounting system with appropriate respective grant codes and departments. Invoices and transactions will not be processed without approval and proper coding. UICSL has also implemented a new credit card tracking system along with a purchase order system that is active and maintained by Finance and Accounting. Monthly and quarterly invoices will be prepared for grants in compliance with 2 CFR section 200.305(b). Person Responsible: Matt Poss, Executive Director and Mary Louise Santacaterina, Grants Manager Timeline: Already removed accounting system access by prior outsourced financial managemnet personnel. Monthly check-ins and expenditure reports have been implemented with department leads in 2024. Grants Manager tasked along with Director of Finance of reviewing monthly invoices and ensuring each meets grant and expenditure requirements. All invoices reviewed with grant/project leads and logged appropriately. Staff acountant hired in 2024 to help provide oversight.

Criteria: Recipients of federal awards must follow the costs principles set out at 2 CFR section 200.430 to substantiate compensation and other purchases charged to a federal program. “Charges to Federal awards for salaries and wages must be based on records that accurately reflect the work performed. These records must: …(iii) reasonable reflect the total activity for which the employee is compensated by the non‐Federal entity” 2 CFR section 200.430(i). The Organization’s processes did not maintain sufficient documentation of the approval of the activity of each employee or the purchase of goods/services. Audit Recommendation: We recommend the Organization ensure it 1) maintains records of each employee’s activity and 2) monitors compliance with the job‐costing system implemented. Auditee Response: The Organization believes that leadership/personnel turnover, along with outsourced financial management, allowed paychecks to be approved without the proper approval flow. We have ensured documenation is downloaded/kept each pay period to ensure such documentation is not lost when a change in service provider is made. Corrective Action Plan: UICSL has moved away from its prior payroll processor to better account for these labor allocations and grant classifications. In our FY23 audit, we requested data from our prior processor multiple times. They were unable to provide some of the reports and data which was purged from their system. Our new payroll processor ensures employees' time is allocated to each grant program and there is a designated reporting funcation allowing us to reviews what is assigned. UICSL also has better defined leadership and directors for each division so there are clearly defined approvers and supervisors for each purchase and transaction. Person Responsible: Matt Poss, Executive Director and Eva Leyer, Human Resources Manager Timeline: UICSL transitioned to a new payroll processor at the end of 2023 and Leadership was designated and assigned for 2024.

Management’s Response and Corrective Action Plan: The City implemented a grant management policy specific to verification of contractor suspension, debarment, or pending debarment in accordance with the provisions of 2 CFR Part 180. The policy provides staff with three option for compliance – perform a search and verification through Sam.gov, request a contractor certification upon award, and including a clause in the bid documents and final contract whereas the contractor’s signature affirms compliance. The latter is the preferred method, however the circumstances specific to each grant may be varied. The policy provides flexibility while ensuring compliance. The policy is currently in effect.

BHI has engaged a professional research administration consulting firm to provide guidance on federal grants management activities, compliance requirements and policy and procedure development. BHI meets monthly with the grants management consultant. Furthermore, BHI has implemented procedures to ensure adequate internal control over financial processes. For one, all the invoicing on all grant and contract accounts are done monthly. The BHI admin/program manager prepares all invoices on a monthly basis which are then reviewed by Chief Operating Officer and finally approved by the Principal Investigator. All financial transactions are recorded in QuickBooks so that bank and credit card accounts can be reconciled monthly. And lastly, an automated solution has been implemented to keep all bill payment and approvals strictly separate.

Corrective Action Plan Financial Statement Finding: 2023-008 Identification of Federal Awards and Preparation of a Complete and Accurate Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA) Criteria: The Uniform Guidance requires the auditee to prepare a SEFA for the period covered by the auditee’s financial statement. It is the responsibility of the auditee's management to design and implement internal controls that provide reasonable assurance over the completeness and accuracy of the SEFA. The SEFA is the basis for the auditor’s identification of major programs. Cause/Condition: The City does not have a method to accurately track the related expenditures for reporting. The City's initial SEFA provided for the audit was incomplete and contained inaccurate program expenditure amounts. In particular, there were multiple federal programs that were materially misstated; including the following major federal program for the year under audit: 1. ALN 14.228 Community Development Block Grants/State's Program and Non-Entitlement Grants in Hawaii In addition, there were multiple federal programs that were not identified on the initial SEFA for the year under audit: 1. ALN 20.600 / 20.616 Highway Safety Cluster 2. ALN 66.818 Brownfield Multipurpose, Assessment, Revolving Loan Fund, and Cleanup Cooperative Agreements 3. ALN 66.458 Capitalization Grants for Clean Water State Revolving Funds 4. ALN 93.568 Low-Income Home Energy Assistance 5. ALN 97.039 (COVID-19) Disaster Grants - Public Assistance (Presidentially Declared Disasters) Effect: A Uniform Guidance compliance audit is based on the premise that management must comply with federal statutes, regulations and the terms and conditions of the federal awards it receives. Without identifying the funds as federal, the auditee may not have complied with those requirements. In addition, there is increased risk regarding the accurate reporting of grant expenditures and noncompliance with policies and procedures surrounding the recording of federal awards. Recommendation: We recommend the City develop and implement procedures to ensure that information related to all federal awards is accumulated to assist in the preparation of the SEFA. In addition, we recommend management of the City verify the completeness and accuracy of the amounts reported on the SEFA. Response: The City agrees with the finding. Corrective Action Plan: The City will include tracking of federal awards in the Capital Project tracking process. Capital projects will be reflected in a separate budget alongside the operational budget beginning in FY 2026. Anticipated Completed Date: July 31, 2025 for the tracking process; December 20, 2025 for the budget. Responsible Contact Person: Elizabeth Greenwood, Director of Administration & Finance

Cause/Condition: Staffing shortages caused the delays in financial reporting. This deadline was not met on a timely basis for the year ended December 31, 2023. Effect: As a result, the entity is not incompliance with §200.512 of the Uniform Guidance. Recommendation: We recommend the requirements of §200.512 of the Uniform guidance be adhered to by striving to have all information required for the audit available on a timely basis. This will help to ensure timely audit report issuance and compliance with the filing deadline. Response: The City is still facing staffing shortages and is working to get the subsequent financial statements completed. It is expected the 2024 reporting package will be filed on time. Corrective Action Plan: The City has hired a full complement of staff in the Finance department, and anticipates timely filings going forward. Anticipated Completed Date: September 30, 2025. Responsible Contact Person: Elizabeth Greenwood, Director of Administration & Finance
