What is a management decision? →The timekeeping system used by management did not require timecards to be reviewed and approved. Further, there was no process in place to review wage rates to ensure they were reasonable. Cause: Management had not implemented adequate internal control procedures to require supervisory review and approval of timecards or verification of wage rates. Effect or potential effect: The absence of supervisory review and verification controls increases the risk that unallowable payroll costs could be charged to the award, that inaccurate or unsupported labor costs could be reported, and that noncompliance with Federal requirements could occur. Questioned costs: None Context: The population consisted of $6,727,441 of salaries expense. A sample of 40 items was selected, and all 40 items contained exceptions related to the absence of review and approval of timecards and the lack of review of pay rates for reasonableness. Identification as a repeat finding, if applicable: This finding is not a repeat finding. Recommendation: Management should implement and document internal control procedures to ensure all timecards are independently reviewed and approved by supervisors and that wage rates charged to the award are reviewed for reasonableness. Controls should operate consistently and be designed to prevent and detect errors or unsupported charges. Views of responsible officials: Management concurs with the finding and has developed a plan to correct the finding.

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: The timekeeping system used by management did not require timecards to be reviewed and approved.

Management response Finding 2025-001 – Allowability and Period of Performance (Material Weakness) View of Responsible Official: Management concurs with the finding. During the audit period, controls over payroll documentation for FEMA-related labor costs were not sufficiently designed and documented to demonstrate independent supervisory review and approval of timecards, nor were controls in place to evidence review of wage rates for reasonableness prior to charging labor costs to the award. Management has strengthened its control procedures. Supervisors are required to review and approve employee timecards each pay period in UKG, and compliance with timecard approval is monitored through exception reporting provided to management. In addition, management has implemented a review control over wage rates charged to FEMA claims to verify that rates used are supported and reasonable in accordance with applicable Uniform Guidance requirements and internal policy. These controls will be documented and retained as part of the support for future federal award reporting.

Management costs exceeded the 5 percent statutory limitation. The total FEMA obligation was $14,897,837, resulting in the allowable management cost cap amount being $744,892. The Company received $770,709 in management costs, which exceeded the allowable amount. Cause: Management did not implement adequate monitoring controls to ensure that management costs remained within the 5 percent statutory cap. Effect or potential effect: The lack of monitoring procedures resulted in excess management costs being charged to the award. Exceeding the statutory cap increases the risk of noncompliance and financial exposure to repayment. Questioned costs: Questioned costs total $25,817. This represents the amount by which management costs received ($770,709) exceeded the 5 percent allowable cap ($744,892). Context: The population consisted of $770,709 in total management cost charges. We identified one exception related to the Company exceeding the statutory 5 percent management cost cap. Identification as a repeat finding, if applicable: This finding is not a repeat finding. Recommendation: Management should establish monitoring procedures to ensure management costs charged to FEMA awards do not exceed the statutory 5 percent threshold. Monitoring should occur on a recurring basis to ensure compliance with earmarking requirements. Views of responsible officials: Management concurs with the finding and has developed a plan to correct the finding.

Amounts exceeding this cap are unallowable. Condition: Management costs exceeded the 5 percent statutory limitation.

Finding 2025-002 – Earmarking (Significant Deficiency) View of Responsible Official: Management concurs with the finding. Management costs charged to the FEMA award exceeded the 5% statutory cap. Management has implemented enhanced monitoring procedures to track cumulative management costs against total FEMA obligated amounts on a recurring basis and to review compliance with the statutory limitation before additional amounts are submitted or recorded. Specifically, management will maintain a calculation of the allowable management cost cap based on total FEMA obligations, reconcile cumulative management costs recorded to that cap, and require supervisory review of the calculation and supporting documentation prior to submission of future claims and during period-end close. Management will also review the amount identified as questioned costs and work with the appropriate parties to resolve the excess amount in accordance with applicable grant requirements.
