Condition: Internal controls related to review of one invoice for a payment to a subrecipient, did not have evidence of all required approvals necessary to ensure compliance with allowable costs, cost principles, and period of performance requirements. One monthly payroll allocation journal entry did not have evidence of required approval necessary to ensure compliance with allowable costs, cost principles, and period of performance requirements. Controls were not sufficient over the special tests and provisions – wage rate requirements compliance requirement. Cause: Internal controls over certain payments, including payments requiring review of contractor and subcontractor wage rates were not evidenced with clear documentation. Effect: Allowable costs, cost principles, period of performance, and special tests and provisions – wage rate requirements compliance requirements may not be met due to lack of reperformable internal controls. Recommendation: We recommend that the City ensure wage rate requirement compliance is prioritized when applicable. We recommend that the City ensure that all controls for grants be documented in written procedures which should include the name or title of the positions responsible for each control (preparation, review, reconciliation, etc.) and that the performance of the controls be documented in a clear, reperformable manner including the name and date of each responsible individual and which specific control they performed over compliance for the grant.

The County failed to comply with subrecipient monitoring requirements as mandated by federal regulations and the grant terms. The County did not conduct regular oversight and monitoring of its subrecipients' programmatic and financial activities. The non-compliance with 2 CFR §200.330-332 (Subrecipient Monitoring) increases the likelihood of unallowable costs, misallocated resources, and non-compliance with program objectives. There was a change in key personnel responsible for the County's compliance with guidelines related to the federal program. Per 2 CFR §200.330-200.332, pass-through entities must monitor subrecipients to ensure compliance with federal statutes, award terms, and program objectives The County should strengthen its internal control procedures to ensure that the subaward agreement includes a clause for subrecipient monitoring activities and conduct monitoring reviews on a regular basis. The County's corrective action plan at the end of this report includes the views and planned actions of its responsible officials. We are not required to audit and have not audited these responses or corrective actions and therefore we provide no assurances as to their accuracy.

Lack of Review and Approval for Monthly Reimbursement Requests Tennessee Department of Health Immunization Cooperative Agreements Assistance Listing No. – 93.268 Criteria: Per Uniform Guidance 2 CFR 200.3303, governments expending federal funds must establish internal controls that ensure accurate financial reporting and compliance with federal statues, regulations, and grant terms. Financial reports, including reimbursement requests, should be subject to review and approval to prevent errors and ensure accountability. Condition: Requests for reimbursements were prepared and submitted by a single program personnel and lacked a level of review and approval by other program personnel prior to submission. Cause: The County lacked established internal controls requiring an independent review and approval process for reimbursement requests before submission. This gap resulted from a reliance on a single individual to manage the reimbursement process without appropriate oversight. Effect: The absence of a formal review and approval process increases the risk of errors or inaccuracies in reimbursement requests. This deficiency could result in non-compliance with grant requirements, overstatement or understatement of reimbursable amounts, and potential loss of federal funds. Recommendation: Implement a formalized process requiring review and approval of all reimbursement requests prior to submission. This process should include clearly documented roles and responsibilities for preparers and approvers to strengthen internal controls and ensure compliance with federal program requirements. View of Responsible Officials: See management’s corrective action plan.

For 2 out 2 selections, various information related to the funding source and the pass through entity were missing on the notice of award (E.g. FAIN number, UEI, indirect cost). Criteria: In accordance with 2 CFR §200.303: The non-federal entity must: (a) Establish and maintain effective internal control over the Federal award that provides reasonable assurance that the non-Federal entity is managing the Federal award in compliance with Federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of the Federal award. Pursuant to 31 USC 7502(f)(2) (Single Audit Act Amendments of 1996 (Pub. L. No. 104-156)), 2 CFR sections 200.330, .331, and .501(h), a pass-through entity must identify the award and applicable requirements, evaluate risk, monitor, and ensure accountability of subrecipients. In accordance with 2 CFR §25.300: (a) A recipient may not make a subaward to a subrecipient unless that subrecipient has obtained and provided to the recipient a unique entity identifier. Subrecipients are not required to complete full SAM registration to obtain a unique entity identifier. (b) A recipient must notify any potential subrecipients that the recipient cannot make a subaward unless the subrecipient has obtained a unique entity identifier as described in paragraph (a) of this section. According to 2 CFR §200.332, all pass-through entities must: (a) Ensure that every subaward is clearly identified to the subrecipient as a subaward and includes the Federal award identification including the subrecipient's unique entity identifier, Federal Award Identification Number (FAIN), identification of whether the award is R&D and indirect cost rate for the Federal award. d) Monitor the activities of the subrecipient as necessary to ensure that the subaward is used for authorized purposes, in compliance with Federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of the subaward; and that subaward performance goals are achieved.(f) Verify that every subrecipient is audited as required by 2 CFR § 200.331 when it is expected that the subrecipient's Federal awards expended during the respective fiscal year equaled or exceeded the threshold set forth in § 200.501. Cause: MOHS did not maintain adequate documentation of the requirements included in Uniform Guidance related to procedures required for subrecipient monitoring. Effect: The City may not be in compliance with the Uniform Guidance. Questioned Costs: Unknown.

For 2 out 2 selections, various information related to the funding source and the pass through entity were missing on the notice of award (E.g. FAIN number, UEI, indirect cost). Criteria: In accordance with 2 CFR §200.303: The non-federal entity must: (a) Establish and maintain effective internal control over the Federal award that provides reasonable assurance that the non-Federal entity is managing the Federal award in compliance with Federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of the Federal award. Pursuant to 31 USC 7502(f)(2) (Single Audit Act Amendments of 1996 (Pub. L. No. 104-156)), 2 CFR sections 200.330, .331, and .501(h), a pass-through entity must identify the award and applicable requirements, evaluate risk, monitor, and ensure accountability of subrecipients. In accordance with 2 CFR §25.300: (a) A recipient may not make a subaward to a subrecipient unless that subrecipient has obtained and provided to the recipient a unique entity identifier. Subrecipients are not required to complete full SAM registration to obtain a unique entity identifier. (b) A recipient must notify any potential subrecipients that the recipient cannot make a subaward unless the subrecipient has obtained a unique entity identifier as described in paragraph (a) of this section. According to 2 CFR §200.332, all pass-through entities must: (a) Ensure that every subaward is clearly identified to the subrecipient as a subaward and includes the Federal award identification including the subrecipient's unique entity identifier, Federal Award Identification Number (FAIN), identification of whether the award is R&D and indirect cost rate for the Federal award. d) Monitor the activities of the subrecipient as necessary to ensure that the subaward is used for authorized purposes, in compliance with Federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of the subaward; and that subaward performance goals are achieved.(f) Verify that every subrecipient is audited as required by 2 CFR § 200.331 when it is expected that the subrecipient's Federal awards expended during the respective fiscal year equaled or exceeded the threshold set forth in § 200.501. Cause: MOHS did not maintain adequate documentation of the requirements included in Uniform Guidance related to procedures required for subrecipient monitoring. Effect: The City may not be in compliance with the Uniform Guidance. Questioned Costs: Unknown. Recommendation: We recommend that MOHS establish and implement controls for the program and prepare and maintain a written plan to perform risk assessments on potential subrecipients.

. Reporting Finding Number: 2024-002 Assistance Listing Number and Title COVID-19 Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds – AL #21.027 Federal Award Identification Number / Year: 2024 Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Treasury Compliance Requirement: Reporting Pass-Through Entity: Ohio Facilities Construction Commission Repeat Finding from Prior Audit? No Noncompliance and Material Weakness 2 CFR 1000.10 gives regulatory effect to the U.S. Department of Treasury for 2 CFR § 200.328 through 200.330 which describe specific procedures non-Federal entities must follow for performance and financial monitoring and reporting of Federal funds. 2 CFR § 200.328 states unless otherwise approved by OMB, the Federal awarding agency must solicit only the OMB-approved governmentwide data elements for collection of financial information (at time of publication the Federal Financial Report or such future, OMB-approved, governmentwide data elements available from the OMB-designated standards lead). This information must be collected with the frequency required by the terms and conditions of the Federal award, but no less frequently than annually nor more frequently than quarterly except in unusual circumstances. The Federal awarding agency must use OMB approved common information collections, as applicable, when providing financial and performance reporting information. The District's grant agreement states that the grantee agrees to comply with any reporting obligations established by Treasury, as it relates to this award. Grantee also agrees to comply with any reporting requirements established by the Grantor, the Office of Budget and Management, or the State of Ohio, as it relates to this award. The Grantor has established a reporting workbook that is to be completed for each quarter the District reports. The reporting workbook includes four tabs, two of which are required to be completed for each reporting submission. During testing, the following errors in the completion of the reporting workbook were identified due to a deficient internal control structure: • Two of the District's quarterly reports were improperly certified. • Two of the District's quarterly reports inaccurately presented program expenditures. Failure to properly submit quarterly reports could result in Ohio Facilities Construction Commission taking action against the District for failure to comply with programmatic requirements. The District should implement policies and procedures to review the reports prior to submission to help ensure the reports are complete and accurate.
The County failed to comply with subrecipient monitoring requirements as mandated by federal regulations and the grant terms. The County did not conduct regular oversight and monitoring of its subrecipients' programmatic and financial activities. The non-compliance with 2 CFR §200.330-332 (Subrecipient Monitoring) increases the likelihood of unallowable costs, misallocated resources, and non-compliance with program objectives. There was a change in key personnel responsible for the County's compliance with guidelines related to the federal program. Per 2 CFR §200.330-200.332, pass-through entities must monitor subrecipients to ensure compliance with federal statutes, award terms, and program objectives The County should strengthen its internal control procedures to ensure that the subaward agreement includes a clause for subrecipient monitoring activities and conduct monitoring reviews on a regular basis. The County's corrective action plan at the end of this report includes the views and planned actions of its responsible officials. We are not required to audit and have not audited these responses or corrective actions and therefore we provide no assurances as to their accuracy.

Condition: Requests for reimbursements were prepared and submitted by a single program personnel and lacked a level of review and approval by other program personnel prior to submission. Cause: The County lacked established internal controls requiring an independent review and approval process for reimbursement requests before submission. This gap resulted from a reliance on a single individual to manage the reimbursement process without appropriate oversight. Effect: The absence of a formal review and approval process increases the risk of errors or inaccuracies in reimbursement requests. This deficiency could result in non-compliance with grant requirements, overstatement or understatement of reimbursable amounts, and potential loss of federal funds. Recommendation: Implement a formalized process requiring review and approval of all reimbursement requests prior to submission. This process should include clearly documented roles and responsibilities for preparers and approvers to strengthen internal controls and ensure compliance with federal program requirements. View of Responsible Officials: See management’s corrective action plan.

. Reporting Finding Number: 2024-002 Assistance Listing Number and Title COVID-19 Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds – AL #21.027 Federal Award Identification Number / Year: 2024 Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Treasury Compliance Requirement: Reporting Pass-Through Entity: Ohio Facilities Construction Commission Repeat Finding from Prior Audit? No Noncompliance and Material Weakness 2 CFR 1000.10 gives regulatory effect to the U.S. Department of Treasury for 2 CFR § 200.328 through 200.330 which describe specific procedures non-Federal entities must follow for performance and financial monitoring and reporting of Federal funds. 2 CFR § 200.328 states unless otherwise approved by OMB, the Federal awarding agency must solicit only the OMB-approved governmentwide data elements for collection of financial information (at time of publication the Federal Financial Report or such future, OMB-approved, governmentwide data elements available from the OMB-designated standards lead). This information must be collected with the frequency required by the terms and conditions of the Federal award, but no less frequently than annually nor more frequently than quarterly except in unusual circumstances. The Federal awarding agency must use OMB approved common information collections, as applicable, when providing financial and performance reporting information. The District's grant agreement states that the grantee agrees to comply with any reporting obligations established by Treasury, as it relates to this award. Grantee also agrees to comply with any reporting requirements established by the Grantor, the Office of Budget and Management, or the State of Ohio, as it relates to this award. The Grantor has established a reporting workbook that is to be completed for each quarter the District reports. The reporting workbook includes four tabs, two of which are required to be completed for each reporting submission. During testing, the following errors in the completion of the reporting workbook were identified due to a deficient internal control structure: • Two of the District's quarterly reports were improperly certified. • Two of the District's quarterly reports inaccurately presented program expenditures. Failure to properly submit quarterly reports could result in Ohio Facilities Construction Commission taking action against the District for failure to comply with programmatic requirements. The District should implement policies and procedures to review the reports prior to submission to help ensure the reports are complete and accurate.
