Pass-through Entity – N/A Finding Type – Material weakness in internal control over compliance Repeat Finding – No Criteria – Per 2 CFR § 200.303, the non-Federal entity must establish and maintain effective internal control over the Federal award that provides reasonable assurance that the non-Federal entity is managing the Federal award in compliance with Federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of the Federal award. These internal controls should be in compliance with guidance in “Standards for Internal Control in the Federal Government” issued by the Comptroller General of the United States or the “Internal Control Integrated Framework”, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Condition – During our testing for Activities Allowed - Allowable Cost-Cost Principles, it was noted the client could not provide evidence of approval to charge the grant for 13 out of 42 expenditures selected for testing. Identification of How Questioned Costs Were Computed – N/A Cause/Effect – Management could not provide the evidence of approval for the data requested due to changes in personnel who were responsible for monitoring and managing the records for the federal program compliance requirement. Recommendation – We recommend management monitor the Federal program compliance requirements on a regular basis. In addition, we recommend that management review its procedures and controls in place to ensure that all disbursements are reviewed and approved and include proper evidence of the review and approval. View of Responsible Officials and Corrective Action Plan –There was turnover in the finance department, and its filing systems were not consistently followed by accountants from contracted staffing agencies. It should be noted that both documentation for expenditures for personnel and non-personnel costs were examined for propriety and allowability by the program director and board treasurer as check signers, prior to disbursement of federal funds.

Program Name – Head Start and Early Head Start Assistance Listing Number – 93.600 Finding Type – Material Weakness and Noncompliance Criteria – Amounts drawn down from federal grants should be based on actual expenditures incurred. Any costs allocated to the grant should be based on a reasonable and appropriate allocation methodology. Condition – We noted certain grants were drawn or billed in excess of actual expenses incurred. Questioned Costs – $51,664 Identification of a Repeat Finding – This is not a repeat finding from the prior year audit. Cause/Effect – Documented program expenses were less than the Federal funds received. Recommendation – We recommend that the Agency reconcile the federal expenditures timely and make adjustments to future draws as and when necessary. View of Responsible Officials and Corrective Action Plan – TOFMHS concurs with the finding. The excess drawdowns were the result of accounting entries to record refunds, or other adjustments which reduced previously allowable expenses. Subsequent drawdowns should have been reduced to offset these adjustments. TOFMHS will implement ACF-IM-HS-23-01 (Treatment of Rebates, Refunds, Discounts), and prevent a recurrence of this issue in the future.

Due to the program being consecutively under enrolled for four (4) months without ever reaching 100% enrollment, the funding and enrollment was reduced to the current number of 210. Since the reduction in September 2019, TOFMHS has reached and maintained full enrollment at the reduced number. No further action is needed at this time.

This is a repeat finding and was identified in the prior year report as Finding 2018-004 for EHS-CCP. Cause/Effect ? The Agency was not in compliance with full enrollment compliance requirements. Recommendation ? We recommend the Agency strive to achieve full enrollment to stay in compliance with the enrollment requirements. View of Responsible Officials and Corrective Action Plan ? TOFMHS concurs with this finding. During the Program Year, TOFMHS was designated as Chronically Under enrolled by the Office of Head Start and placed on a 12 Month Corrective Action Plan.

Program Name ? Thrive by Five Early Head Start (EHS) and Head Start (HS) CFDA Number ? 93.600 Finding Type ? Significant Deficiency and Noncompliance Criteria ?For EHS Home-Based program, one home visit per week must be held, a minimum of 46 in a program year, per 45CFR 1302.22. Condition ? For 6 of 8 Home-based samples, home visits were not held every week during the period a child was enrolled in the program (2018-19 as of 6/30/2019). Questioned Costs ? None Identification of a Repeat Finding ? This is not a repeat finding. Cause/Effect ? Based on our review, it appears that either the necessary visits and conferences were not performed or documentation was not kept to evidence they were performed. Recommendation ? We recommend necessary home visits and parent teacher conferences be performed. These visits and conferences should be properly documented and retained within the child?s file. Additionally, the Agency should develop a system for tracking the home visits and conferences to better monitor their compliance. View of Responsible Officials and Corrective Action Plan ? TOFMHS concurs with this finding. TOFMHS did not have sufficient staffing to support the required Home Base visits required. One (1) staff member resigned from the position within three (3) months of hire, a replacement staff member was challenging for hire due to the need for a bilingual credentialed teacher to conduct such visits. The delay in hire and the ongoing recruitment of additional families resulted in a substantial delay for scheduling the required number of visits. As of June 30, 2019, the EHS Home Base program was eliminated from the grant which resulted in layoffs of all staff assigned to the program option.

Program Name ? Early Head Start ? Child Care Partnership (EHS-CCP) and Thrive by Five Early Head Start (EHS) and Head Start (HS) CFDA Number ? 93.600 Finding Type ? Significant Deficiency and Noncompliance Criteria ? For EHS-CCP, the teacher to child ratio can be a maximum of 4 to 1, and the maximum class size is 8. (per ACF-IM-HS-15-03) For EHS, no more than 8 children are allowed per class with 2 teachers or no more than 9 children per class with 3 teachers. (per 45CFR 1302.21) For HS, for a class with the majority of children 4-5 age, maximum class size is 20 with one teacher and one teacher assistant, or 2 teachers per class. (per 45CFR 1302.21) Condition ? Class size: ? For 1 of 5 Thrive by Five dates selected for testing, the children?s daily sign-in sheet did not agree with the ChildPlus attendance report. ? For 1 of 5 Thrive by Five dates selected for testing, the daily sign-in sheet was not available to verify the actual number of children present in class for the date selected. ? For 1 of 7 EHS-CCP dates selected for testing, the children?s daily sign-in sheet shows 9 children present while the ChildPlus attendance report showed 6. The 9 children per the sign-in sheet would be in excess of the maximum class size. Teacher ratio: ? For all 12 dates selected for testing, the Agency was unable to provide supporting documentation to verify the number of teachers actually present in the class. Staff rosters were provided instead indicating teachers assigned to class. Questioned Costs ? None Identification of a Repeat Finding ? This is not a repeat finding. Cause/Effect ? The Agency is not in compliance with class size and teacher to children ratio compliance requirements. Recommendation ? We recommend the Agency utilize teacher?s attendance sheets and ensure they are available for audit, at Thrive by Five sites and work with partner centers to implement at their sites. Additionally, we recommend children?s attendance for the program is based on actual daily sign-in sheets. View of Responsible Officials and Corrective Action Plan ? TOFMHS concurs with this finding. TOFMHS was not able to obtain the sign in sheets from one (1) site (George Crockett Elementary) which is a Charter School that was eliminated as a site for the Thrive By Five Grant as of June 30, 2019. All records were removed by the Grantee Agency (SF) and/or Crockett School personnel and was not available per the request of TOFMHS during the audit period. TOFMHS has implemented the process of having all sign in sheets being brought to the Administrative Office for filing at the end of each month along with the CACFP Attendance Rosters to ensure that all information is readily available upon ask in the future. TOFMHS is implementing an electronic sign in mechanism for parents at each child care site that will automatically transfer a child?s attendance to the Child Plus Database for daily tracking to ensure classroom ratio is in accordance with contract and licensing regulations.
