S. Committee for Refugees and Immigrants: 01/01/24 – 12/31/26, 90XU0630-01-00. Criteria: Allowable costs – Effective internal control includes maintenance of documentation of evidence that training compliance requirements were met for the U. S. Refugee Admissions Program for compensation costs to be allowable. For non-payroll costs, the internal control system should include independent reviews to ensure costs are reported in the period goods and services are received for compliance with period of performance and are reported to the correct cost center. Condition and context: During our testing of payroll, non-payroll and indirect cost pool transactions, we identified the following exceptions: U. S. Refugee Admissions Program AL# 19.510, For 4 employees out of 25 tested, there was no documentation that the employees completed the required training (related payroll costs $5,578). For 1 non-payroll transaction out of 25 tested, the expense was coded one month after the services were provided but was within the correct grant period. Refugee and Entrant Assistance State/Replacement Designee Administered Programs AL# 93.566, For 1 non-payroll transaction out of 25, tested the expense was reported in the incorrect grant period (related costs $4,298). Unaccompanied Children Program AL# 93.676, For 1 non-payroll transaction out of 25, tested the expense was reported in the incorrect grant period (related costs $561). Indirect Cost Pool Testing, For 2 nonpayroll transactions our of 25, tested the expenses were incorrectly coded to the indirect cost pool. Repeat of finding #2023-004. Cause: Failure to follow the YMCA’s policies and procedures related to maintenance of documentation, and review of coding for period and cost center. Effect: Failure to follow established internal control policies and procedures resulted in potential unallowable costs being charged to the grant. Questioned costs: $10,437. Recommendation: Emphasize adherence to established policies and procedures to ensure maintenance of documentation, and review of coding. View of responsible officials: Management agrees with the finding. See Corrective Action Plan.
