We recommend the Agency review its cost transfers procedures and implement additional procedures to monitor federal awards period of performance.There is no disagreement with the audit finding. The Agency agrees that additional cost transfer procedures are needed to ensure expenses incurred against an award fall within the award period of performance, but believes there are adequate procedures in place to monitor the actual award period of performance. Starting immediately, Grants will implement procedures to review expenses moved into projects via the Manual Transaction process (Also referred to as Miscellaneous Transaction) to ensure the expenses fall within the award period of performance. See updated procedure: Miscellaneous Transaction Procedures. To further mitigate the chance of this issue occurring, grants will minimize the transfer of labor costs to new awards if a project goes over budget. Instead, Grants will return the expenses back to the cost center. Grants has also been working with IT to put controls in our time keeping system, Kronos that would minimize the chance of labor expenses for over budget projects to be processed into Oracle.
