Federal Agency: United States Department of Commerce Federal Program Name: Office for Coastal Management Assistance Listing Number: 11.473 Federal Award Identification Year: 2020 Pass-Through Agency: National Fish and Wildlife Grant Agreement Award Period: 9/1/20-08/31/23 Type of Finding: Other Matters – Material Weakness in Internal Control Criteria: 2 CFR 200.414(c) - Federal award recipients must negotiate an indirect cost rate with the cognizant agency for indirect costs, which is typically the federal agency that provides the most funding to the recipient.2 CFR 200.403(d) - The negotiated rate must be applied consistently across all federal awards to ensure uniformity in cost allocation. 2 CFR 200.302(b)(3) - Recipients must maintain adequate documentation to support the indirect costs charged to federal awards, ensuring compliance with the cost principles outlined in the regulation. Condition: For two reimbursement requests from the grantor, an indirect cost rate was used, for which CSFC did not have a provisional or final rate agreement from the USDA. Context: Of the 2 reimbursements invoiced, 2 were selected for testing for the Office for Coastal Management program. The condition noted above was identified during our procedures over CFSC’s subrecipients. Effect: CFSC did not identify the error to be able to make the appropriate corrections before receiving reimbursement for incorrect indirect cost rate invoiced. Cause: CFSC’s procedures did not ensure that the negotiated provisional rate was invoiced properly. Repeat Finding: The finding is not a repeat finding. Recommendation: We recommend that CFSC modify and strengthen its current policies and procedures to perform review over the indirect cost rate utilized when submitting invoices to the grantor. Management’s Views: See separate corrective action plan.
Finding Number: 2022-003 Finding Type: Federal award finding and financial statement finding Federal Assistance Listing No.: 14.239 Program Name: HOME investment Partnership Program Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Pass-Through Entity: Portland Housing Bureau Grant Numbers: 311020 Federal Award Year: 2022 Control Deficiency Type: Significant deficiency in internal controls over compliance Instance of Noncompliance: Yes Compliance Requirement: Reporting Questioned Costs: None Repeat Finding: No Criteria: 2 CFR Part 200 – Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards, Subpart D – Post Federal Awards Requirements, Standards for Financial and Program Management, and §200.302 (b), Financial Management. Identification, in its accounts, of all federal awards received and expended and the federal program under which they were received. Federal program and federal award identification must include, as applicable, the CFDA title and number, federal award identification number, name of the federal agency, and name of the pass-through entity, if any. Additional criteria: 2 CFR Part 200 – Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards, Subpart F – Audit Requirements, §200.510, Financial Statements. Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards – The auditee also must prepare a schedule of expenditures of federal awards for the period covered by the auditee’s financial statements, which must include the total federal awards expended, as determined in accordance with §200.502, Basis for Determining Federal Awards Expended. At a minimum, the schedule must provide total federal awards expended for each individual federal program and the CFDA number or other identifying number when the CFDA information is not available. For a cluster of programs, also provide the total for the cluster. Condition: During the audit, we noted that the organization did not maintain a complete schedule of expenditures of federal awards. Cause: The organization did not adequately track federal expenditures and the required information needed to prepare a schedule of expenditures of federal awards. Effect: Failure to prepare an accurate and complete schedule of expenditures of federal awards results in noncompliance with 2 CFR Part 200 – Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards, Subpart D – Post Federal Awards Requirements, Standards for Financial and Program Management, §200.302, Financial Management, and Subpart F – Audit Requirements, §200.510, Financial Statements. Audit Recommendation: We recommend that the organization document and implement policies and procedures to ensure the schedule of expenditures of federal awards is accurate and complete in accordance with 2 CFR Part 200 – Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards, Subpart D – Post Federal Awards Requirements, Standards for Financial and Program Management, §200.302, Financial Management and Subpart F – Audit Requirements, §200.510, Financial Statements, in order to obtain accurate calculations of major federal programs for the single audit and to ensure the organization is in compliance with all of the reporting requirements as to identify the source and application of funds for federally-funded activities. Management’s Response: The SEFA was assigned to be prepared internally, but unfortunately was not submitted due to staff turnover during the course of the audit. This oversight will be corrected by improving procedures around internal task assignments when employee turnover is experienced in the Fiscal department during the course of the audit.

Condition: The City did not have proper controls in place to ensure that the annual report was accurately filled out and agreed to underlying detail. Cause: There were not sufficient internal controls in place to ensure the accuracy of the annual report prior to its submission. Effect: The failure to establish an effective internal control system placed the City at risk of noncompliance with the grant agreement and the Reporting compliance requirements. Questioned Costs: There were no questioned costs identified. Context: Variances to key line items were noted when comparing the Form RD442-2 and Form RD442-3 to supporting documents. Identification as a repeat finding, if applicable: No Recommendation: We recommend someone other than the preparer thoroughly review and document the review of the report prior to submission to validate the accuracy and completeness of the data submitted. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions: Management agrees with the finding and has prepared a corrective action plan.
Management did not have written internal control procedures for determining allowable costs and other requirements over federal awards specifically relating to the Uniform Guidance. 2 CFR 200, Subpart D, Section 200.302(b)(7) requires “written procedures for determining the allowability of costs in accordance with Subpart E – Cost Principles of this part and the terms and conditions of the Federal Award. no questioned costs. Lack of written controls to identify allowable costs and special tests and provisions. Costs may be disallowed and required to be repaid to the granting agency. Compliance requirements set forth in the grant agreements were not followed. Management should develop written internal control procedures in accordance with the Uniform Guidance. This was a repeat finding as Finding 2021-003.

This was a repeat finding as Finding 2021-003.
2 CFR 200.302(b)(6) requires that non-Federal entities establish written procedures to implement the requirements of 2 CFR 200.305. The FAR clause at 48 CFR section 52.216-7 applies to reimbursement payment. Paragraph (b)(1) of that clause requires that the non-federal entity request reimbursement for (a) only allocable, allowable, and reasonable contract costs that have already been paid, or (b) if the non-federal entity is not delinquent in paying costs of contract performance in the ordinary course of business, costs incurred, but not necessarily paid. Article V, Section B states: 1. Periodically, but not more frequently than once every 30 calendar days, the Non-Federal Sponsor shall provide the Government with a sufficient invoice for costs the Non-Federal Sponsor has incurred for the Project. 2. Upon receipt of such sufficient invoice, the Government shall review the costs identified therein and shall determine: (a) the amount to be included in total project costs, subject to the limitations in Article II.C. of this Agreement; (b) the total costs incurred by the parties to date (including the value of lands, easements, rights-of-way, and relocations, and the costs of permits determined in accordance with Article V of this Agreement); (c) each party’s share of total project costs and the costs of data recovery activities associated with historic preservation in accordance with Article II.P. of this Agreement incurred by the parties to date; (d) the costs incurred by each party to date; (e) the total amount of reimbursements the Government has made to date in accordance with this paragraph; (f) the balance of Federal funds available for the Project, as of the date of such review; (g) the amount of reimbursement, if any, due to the Non-Federal Sponsor; and (h) the amount that actually will be paid to the Non-Federal Sponsor (hereinafter the “payment amount”) if the amount of reimbursement determined above cannot be fully paid due to an insufficiency of Federal funds or the limitations of the Section 594 Program Limit for Ohio or the Section 102 Limit. Article I, Section K state the term “sufficient invoice” shall mean documentation provided by the Non-Federal Sponsor containing the following: (1) a written certification by the Non-Federal Sponsor to the Government that it has made specified payments to contractors, suppliers, or employees for performance of work in accordance with this Agreement, or a written certification by the Non-Federal Sponsor to the Government that it has received bills from contractors, suppliers, or employees for performance of work in accordance with this Agreement; (2) copies of all relevant invoices and evidence of such payments or bills received; (3) written identification of such costs that have been paid with Federal program funds and a copy of the written verification from the Federal agency that provided the funds; and (4) a written request for reimbursement for the amount of such specified payments or bills received. The Village received funding from various sources for the project. Due to cash flow issues, the Village often used alternate funding to meet federal obligations, leaving an accumulation of federal funds on hand during the year. The Village also does not have any formal policies in place regarding cash management requirements. We recommend that the Village more closely monitor its reimbursement requests in relation to actual expenditures paid to ensure that the Village does not accumulate federal funds. Additionally, the Village should adopt formal policies and procedures that address cash management requirements.
Criteria: The Organizations are required under 2 CFR §200.302 to be able to have “identification, in its accounts, of all Federal awards received and expended and the Federal programs under which they were received”. It is also required to maintain “effective control over, and accountability for, all funds, property, and other assets”. These requirements are imperative to ensure that all Federal programs are properly reported on the Organizations’ Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA). Condition: During our audit, we noted a few Federal programs that had expired in prior years were inadvertently included in the SEFA by error due to failure of reallocating expenditures to the proper Federal programs. Additionally, the Vaccines for Children program and a portion of the required Period 4 Provider Relief Fund receipts was not included in the original SEFA prepared by the Center. Cause: Due to significant turnover in the finance department and lack of accountability and monitoring of Federal funds, the Center did not properly report the Federal expenditures in the SEFA. This situation is due primarily to the fact that there is not a designated individual responsible and accountable for ensuring that all Federal sources of funds are properly identified and monitored in accordance with the laws and regulations, contracts, and grant agreements. Effect or Potential Effect: Without sufficient internal controls surrounding the preparation of the SEFA and an understanding of all programs that are Federally funded, the SEFA could be inaccurately reported. Questioned Costs: None. Context: The Center failed to properly track and allocate Federal expenditures in fiscal year 2022, which resulted in the SEFA not being properly prepared. Additionally, the Center did not have a person with the appropriate knowledge of the Vaccines for Children program or SEFA receipt reporting requirements of the Provider Relief Fund programs. Identification as a Repeat Finding: Not applicable. Recommendation: We recommend the Center develop standard operating procedures (SOPs) to document the current processes, procedures, and contingency plans to improve daily operations, efficiency, productivity, compliance, and risk management. Additionally, we recommend that the Center implement policies and procedures to ensure that expenses are allocated to the appropriate Federal grant award/program so the SEFA can be prepared to accurately reflect expenses incurred. We also recommend that the Center identify and monitor all Federal source of funds (including Federally sourced donated vaccines) and ensure they have oversight/monitoring and are being properly reported.

Additionally, the Center did not have a person with the appropriate knowledge of the Vaccines for Children program or SEFA receipt reporting requirements of the Provider Relief Fund programs. Identification as a Repeat Finding: Not applicable. Recommendation: We recommend the Center develop standard operating procedures (SOPs) to document the current processes, procedures, and contingency plans to improve daily operations, efficiency, productivity, compliance, and risk management. Additionally, we recommend that the Center implement policies and procedures to ensure that expenses are allocated to the appropriate Federal grant award/program so the SEFA can be prepared to accurately reflect expenses incurred. We also recommend that the Center identify and monitor all Federal source of funds (including Federally sourced donated vaccines) and ensure they have oversight/monitoring and are being properly reported.
Criteria: The Organizations are required under 2 CFR §200.302 to be able to have “identification, in its accounts, of all Federal awards received and expended and the Federal programs under which they were received”. It is also required to maintain “effective control over, and accountability for, all funds, property, and other assets”. These requirements are imperative to ensure that all Federal programs are properly reported on the Organizations’ Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA). Condition: During our audit, we noted a few Federal programs that had expired in prior years were inadvertently included in the SEFA by error due to failure of reallocating expenditures to the proper Federal programs. Additionally, the Vaccines for Children program and a portion of the required Period 4 Provider Relief Fund receipts was not included in the original SEFA prepared by the Center. Cause: Due to significant turnover in the finance department and lack of accountability and monitoring of Federal funds, the Center did not properly report the Federal expenditures in the SEFA. This situation is due primarily to the fact that there is not a designated individual responsible and accountable for ensuring that all Federal sources of funds are properly identified and monitored in accordance with the laws and regulations, contracts, and grant agreements.

Questioned Costs: None. Context: The Center failed to properly track and allocate Federal expenditures in fiscal year 2022, which resulted in the SEFA not being properly prepared. Additionally, the Center did not have a person with the appropriate knowledge of the Vaccines for Children program or SEFA receipt reporting requirements of the Provider Relief Fund programs. Identification as a Repeat Finding: Not applicable. Recommendation: We recommend the Center develop standard operating procedures (SOPs) to document the current processes, procedures, and contingency plans to improve daily operations, efficiency, productivity, compliance, and risk management. Additionally, we recommend that the Center implement policies and procedures to ensure that expenses are allocated to the appropriate Federal grant award/program so the SEFA can be prepared to accurately reflect expenses incurred. We also recommend that the Center identify and monitor all Federal source of funds (including Federally sourced donated vaccines) and ensure they have oversight/monitoring and are being properly reported.
Criteria: The Organizations are required under 2 CFR §200.302 to be able to have “identification, in its accounts, of all Federal awards received and expended and the Federal programs under which they were received”. It is also required to maintain “effective control over, and accountability for, all funds, property, and other assets”. These requirements are imperative to ensure that all Federal programs are properly reported on the Organizations’ Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA). Condition: During our audit, we noted a few Federal programs that had expired in prior years were inadvertently included in the SEFA by error due to failure of reallocating expenditures to the proper Federal programs. Additionally, the Vaccines for Children program and a portion of the required Period 4 Provider Relief Fund receipts was not included in the original SEFA prepared by the Center. Cause: Due to significant turnover in the finance department and lack of accountability and monitoring of Federal funds, the Center did not properly report the Federal expenditures in the SEFA.

Financial Management Fiscal year finding initially occurred: 2021 CONDITION: While performing our audit procedures for FY 22, there were numerous instances of revenue and expense transactions being miscoded between federal grant program funds and transactions being duplicated between funds. In addition, reconciliations of grant revenues to grant expenditures were not being performed which could lead to over drawing federal funds. CRITERIA: 2 CFR 1.200.302(b) Financial Management requires that the financial management system of a non-Federal entity must provide records that identify adequately the source and application of funds for federally funded activities. These records must contain information pertaining to Federal awards, authorizations, financial obligations, unobligated balances, assets, expenditures, income and interest and be supported by source documentation. CAUSE: Reconciliation and review of detailed general ledger account balances were not performed in a timely manner during FY 22EFFECT: Inaccurate and incomplete financial statement reports may be submitted to users of the financial information. RECOMMENDATION: All detailed general ledger account balances should be reviewed and reconciled on a monthly basis to ensure complete and accurate financial information is provided to all users of the financial information.

Finding 2022-004: Material Weakness – Cash Management Cluster: Research and Development Cluster Assistance Listing: 93.084 Agency: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Program: Prevention of Disease, Disability, and Death by Infectious Diseases Award Number: 1 U01CK000589-01-00, 6 U01CK000589-01-01, 6 U01CK000589-02-01, 5 U01CK000589- 02-00, 20U01CK00058920CV, 20U01CK00058921C3. Grant year: 2022 Assistance Listing: 47.070 Agency: National Science Foundation Program: Expeditions: Collaborative Research: Global Pervasive Computational Epidemiology. Award Number: 1918628 Grant year: 2021 Criteria: As required by 2 CFR 200.302(b)(4) of Financial Management, the non-federal entity must exercise effective control over, and accountability for, all federal funds. Per 2 CFR. 200.303(a), the non-federal entity should use the Internal Control Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) as a guideline. The COSO guideline indicates that proper segregation of duties between initiating and authorizing is a best practice as well as retaining documentation of performance and authorization controls. Condition: The Director of Finance both initiated and authorized cash draws of federal funds during the grant year. There was no supporting documentation of approval by an appropriate second party. 35 Cause: Lack of segregation of incompatible tasks. Effect: Lack of internal controls around supervising and authorizing cash management could result in mismanagement of federal funds. Context: Statistical sampling was not used, however, sampling in accordance with AICPA guidelines was applied. Questioned costs: There are no questioned costs associated with this finding. Repeat finding: This is a repeat finding. Recommendation: Initiating, authorizing, and recording should not be done by the same individual. Segregation of incompatible tasks should be implemented so that authorization and review of cash draws of federal funds is done by someone other than the individual who initiates and records the transaction. Management’s response (unaudited): Based on previous year’s finding, the management has implemented necessary remediation steps post the fiscal year-end. Accordingly, this finding remain unresolved as at the year-end
