Real property information reported on the SF-429 and SF-429A did not agree with the Club?s property records. The amount of acquisition and renovations and corresponding Federal and nonfederal share did not agree with underlying records. The Club did not have adequate controls in place to ensure accuracy in reporting its real property. This condition resulted in a significant deficiency in internal control over compliance. Criteria ? 45 CFR Part 75.303 states 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.

"MANAGEMENT RESPONSE TO: Item 2021-001 L. Special Reporting Head Start CDFA No. 93.600 Grant No. 04CH010931-01-02 U.S. Department of Health and Human Services The management of Washington County Negro Business and Professional Women?s Club, Inc. has reviewed the requirements of 45 CFR Part 75.343 related to reporting of federal interest in real property purchased, constructed, or renovated with Federal funds, on forms SF-429 and SF-429A. Real property information reported for the grant period May 31, 2021 did not agree with property records on file. As of the date of this audit report, both the SF-429 and SF-429A have been resubmitted to include all purchase, construction and renovation activity that utilized Federal funds. Corrective Action: Washington County NB & PW Club, Inc. is implementing additional steps and including key staff in the review and reporting process prior to submission of the SF-429 and SF-429A. Fiscal staff will work with the Facilities Manager to ensure any purchase, constructions or renovation activities that occur throughout the fiscal year are recorded and added to the inventory schedule and supporting documentation for each transactions is submitted and filed in the Finance Department. This schedule will include a listing of all real property and details of each site, including acquisition costs, renovations and/or new construction, as well as the dates and sources of funds expended. Once updated, the schedule will be reviewed and approved by the Executive Director. Once approved, this schedule, along with the supporting documentation for each site will be the source documentation used to create the annual SF-429 and SF-429A. The above Corrective Action will commence effective June 1, 2021; and shall be completed May 31, 2021. Once the SF-429 and SF-429A is completed, it will be reviewed and approved by the Fiscal Officer and/or Executive Director prior to submission. I would like to add, for informational purposes, although it may appear to be superficial; we were told several years ago when the OHS began asking for federal interest of purchased property with federal funds, modulars were not included; due to the limited useful lifespan of modulars which is 15 years. We are searching prior emails for confirmation of this information from the grants officer at the time. The FO at the time is no longer with our organization. Sincerely, Susie D. Wilcher Executive Director
