Finding Text

Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Federal Assistance Listing #93.558, Contract No. 31569. Condition: The amounts reported for the month of October 2023 in the April 2024 report did not agree with the amounts originally reported in the monthly October 2023 report for the #LEAD HHSA and BOS programs. Criteria: Per the #LEAD Statement of Work the Organization should accurately report all performance reporting requirements. Cause: The error stems from a lack of training at the program level as well as a lack of a proper tracking mechanism to ensure reporting requirements are met timely. Effect: Failure to accurately report performance information may result in a reduction or loss of future funding. Recommendation: Management should provide additional training related to reporting. Additionally, management should review and strengthen their current controls related to internal review over the program to verify that the policies and procedures are adhered to and that reports are accurately completed and submitted.
