Management's response: When the federal grant award came out at the end of December 2021, we did not get an approved budget and signed contract for work with the State until the beginning of July 2022 for work that dated back to October 1, 2021. Because of this, once we were able to begin invoicing, we utilized percentage allocations for employee's t ime, knowing that the majority of the employees had been doing work tied to the grant were allocated 100% to the grant and that significant time had been going to building up for the grant. However, it was not possible to go back and get time sheets that were tied to the grant for the majority of 2022 because we simply didn't have a contract in place yet. At the end of 2022, we began to utilize a more structured process for tracking allocations, requiring leadership to review their team member's allocations to grants on a quarterly basis and submit those to our Finance, HR, and Grants Compliance team to review. Because this didn't happen early enough in 2022, we did not have enough backup documentation to support the allocations based on what the audit requested. Views of Responsible Officials and Corrective Action : In 2023, we continued our structured process of time allocation reviews and quarterly approvals by leadership, HR, and Finance, and then in 2024, we launched our fi rst ever time study to also review and ensure time allocations were corresponding correctly with the time being spent on the grants.
