Findings #2025-004 and #2025-006 – Significant Deficiency and Other Noncompliance. Applicable federal programs: U. S. Department of Health and Human Services, 93.566, Refugee and Entrant Assistance State/Replacement Designee Administered Programs, Passed through Texas Office for Refugees: 10/01/24 – 09/30/25, FFY2025-27946V-ASA RSS, 10/01/24 – 09/30/25, FFY2025-27946V-AUSAA-RSS, 10/01/24 – 09/30/25, FFY2025-27946V-CMA, 10/01/24 – 09/30/25, FFY2025-27946V-RSS, Passed through United States Conference of Catholic Bishops: 10/01/24 – 09/30/25, 25RSI13A, Passed through U. S. Committee for Refugees: 10/01/24 – 09/30/25, RHP-2025-YMCA-Houston TX-03, 93.567, Refugee and Entrant Assistance Voluntary Agency Programs, Passed through U. S. Committee for Refugees and Immigrants: 10/01/24 – 09/30/25, 2502VARVMG, 10/01/23 – 09/30/24, 2402VARVMG, 93.676, Unaccompanied Alien Children Program, Passed through U. S. Committee for Refugees and Immigrants: 01/01/25 – 12/31/25, 90ZU0630-02. Condition and context: During our testing of the accuracy of accounts payable cutoff and the testing of allowable costs charged to major programs, the following exceptions were identified for expenses recorded in the incorrect period: 3 of 19 subsequent disbursement transactions tested were recorded in the incorrect accounting period. Refugee and Entrant Assistance State/Replacement Designee Administered Programs (ALN 93.566) – 3 out of 40 transactions tested were recorded to the incorrect accounting period. Unaccompanied Alien Children Program (ALN 93.676) – 1 out 40 transactions tested was recorded in the incorrect accounting period. Refugee and Entrant Assistance Voluntary Agency Programs (ALN 93.567) – 1 out of 40 transactions tested was recorded in the incorrect accounting period. Recommendation: Policies and procedures should be enhanced for proper identification of the period that expenses relate to so that expenses will be recorded in the correct accounting period for financial statement reporting and for billing allowable costs to federal programs. Planned corrective action: Management acknowledges the deficiency identified related to the precision of procedures to ensure expenses are recorded in the appropriate accounting period. Processes were in place and operated to identify and record expenses in the correct period, and management’s review procedures are designed to capture all material items for financial reporting and program compliance purposes. The exceptions identified through audit testing represent a limited number of timing differences in a high-volume environment, primarily related to the timing of invoice receipt and processing, and were not material individually or in the aggregate. These items were recorded in the subsequent period in the normal course of operations and do not reflect a systemic breakdown in controls. In response, management has reinforced month-end cutoff procedures, including enhanced review of subsequent disbursements and clearer expectations around accrual identification and invoice timing. Management will continue to monitor cutoff procedures to ensure expenses are recorded in the appropriate period with an appropriate level of precision while maintaining timely vendor payment practices.
