Finding: 2025-003 Federal Agency Name: U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Assistance Listing Number(s): 93.493 Program Name: Community Project Funding Finding Summary: Uniform Guidance at 2 CFR 200.303 requires nonfederal entities to establish and maintain effective internal control over federal awards that provides reasonable assurance that the entity is managing federal awards in compliance with applicable laws, regulations, and the terms and conditions of the award. Effective internal control includes appropriate independent review of reports to ensure accuracy prior to submission. During our testing over the report submissions for the fiscal year, we noted there was not an independent review completed over the quarterly expenditure report. Responsible Individuals: Michael Pollock, CFO and Debbie Dice, Director, Financial Reporting, Audit/Compliance Corrective Action Plan: There was transition in several of the key roles during the fiscal year, causing the review not to be completed over the quarterly submissions that will be rectified during 2025-26. Internal controls will be updated with the following steps: 1) Quarterly federal expenditure reports will be prepared by the an assigned Accountant II member and reviewed by a the Director of Financial Reporting, Audit and Compliance prior to submission to the granting agency; 2) Obtain evidence of the independent review, including reviewer sign-off and date of review, will be documented and retained with the report submission records; 3) The College will update written internal control procedures governing federal grant reporting to formally incorporate the independent review requirement; and 4) The Director of Financial Reporting, Audit and Compliance will monitor adherence to the review process and ensure that documentation is maintained for audit purposes. Anticipated Completion Date: June 2026
