Criteria: 2 CFR 200.303(a) establishes that the auditee must establish and maintain effective internal control over the federal awards that provides assurance that the entity is managing the federal awards in compliance with federal statues, regulation and conditions of the federal awards Condition and Context: Accounting tasks such as review and approval of expenditures applied to the grants play a key role in proving the accuracy of accounting data and information included in SEFA. During the audit, we noted various expenditures that did not have the proper approval by management prior to the charge being applied to the grant. Questioned Costs: None noted Effect: Costs could be charged to federal programs which are unallowed due to lack of review. Cause: The Organization experienced turnover in multiple positions in finance during the year which caused the review not to be consistent. By the end of 2024, the Organization had a formal process in place to ensure all expenditures were properly reviewed, however, we noted invoices in the early part of the year were not properly reviewed.

Corrective Action Plan

Management recognizes the critical nature of enhanced internal control over review and approval of grant expenditures, including segregation of duties from the individual responsible for executing, reviewing and approving the expenditure. During 2024, management implemented a system where the program manager approves the expenditure based on the program needs and allowable cost standards, with review and sign off of the payment voucher by the Controller and, where required, the CFO. Further, management has put detailed approvals into place on all account payable items through vouchers required to be signed off on by the requesting party, and the related manager, as well as the appropriate C-Suite party. On a weekly basis, accounts payable detail by invoice is reviewed by the CEO, COO and CFO, approving payments to be made during that specific week. Once communicated, changes are made, if necessary, and approval is given to the Controller to have payments made via check, ACH or credit card.

MATERIAL WEAKNESSREPEATQUESTIONED COSTS

During 2023, the Organization allocated payroll costs to grants based upon budgeted amounts/percentages submitted to the funding agency and did not have a system for ensuring that the estimates used produce reasonable approximations of the activity actually performed. Subsequent to year end, the Organization had employees complete a 2023 time and effort report. In multiple instances, we noted employees who had left the Organization and thus certain reports were not signed by the employees. We also noted instances of missing reports for employees. The 2023 time and effort reports did not accurately reflect what was charged to the grant during the year. Questioned Costs: Unknown Context: The amounts charged to the grant did not represent the actual time and was not tracked properly throughout the year. This resulted from the Organization no having a system of internal control that provided reasonable assurance that the charges are accurate, allowable, and properly allocated. Cause: The Organization was using budgeting amounts and did not have a system in place to charge accurate time. Effect: Inaccurate payroll costs may be charged to federal programs if the Organization does not have procedures in place to monitor and record employee time devoted to federal programs. Recommendation: Management should develop a process whereby payroll costs allocated to federal grants are supported by a system of internal controls which provides reasonable assurance that the charges are accurate allowable and properly allocated, reasonably reflect the total activity for which the employee is compensated, and support the distribution of the employee’s wages among specific activities or cost objectives if the employee works on more than one federal award. It is recommended that the Organization implement the time and effort certification reports at least quarterly or utilize timesheets within in payroll system to properly allocated to federal grants. If utilizing certification reports, ensure time and effort reporting charged to the grant is updated on regularly basis. Grantee Comment: Refer to the Correction Action Plan

Criteria: Uniform Guidance section 200.430(h)(8)(i) indicates that the standards for documentation of personnel expenses are such that (1) Charges to federal awards for salaries and wages must be based on records that accurately reflect the work performed. These records must:(i) Be supported by a system of internal control which provides reasonable assurance that the charges are accurate, allowable, and properly allocated; (ii) Be incorporated into the official records of the nonfederal entity and(iii) Reasonably reflect the total activity for which the employee is compensated by the nonfederal entity, not exceeding 100% of compensated activities. Furthermore, subsection (viii) indicates: Budget estimates alone do not qualify as support for charges to federal awards, but may be used for interim accounting purposes, provided that: (A) The system for establishing the estimates produces reasonable approximations of the activity actually performed; (B) Significant changes in the corresponding work activity are identified and entered into the records in a timely manner and (C) The nonfederal entity’s system of internal controls includes processes to review after-the-fact interim charges made to a federal awards based on budget estimates. Condition: During 2023, the Organization allocated payroll costs to grants based upon budgeted amounts/percentages submitted to the funding agency and did not have a system for ensuring that the estimates used produce reasonable approximations of the activity actually performed.

Corrective Action Plan

To address the deficiencies identified in the audit regarding payroll allocations, the Organization will utilize the services of Attain Partners, a professional services firm specializing in grants management. Attain Partners will assist the Organization with implementing procedures including the following Time and Effort Recording • Work with the CFO, COO, and CCO to revise the current T&E policies and procedures. • Work with Finance and HR to revise the current payroll allocation form to include all information needed to correctly record the T&E information in the HRIS and accounting system. • Work with Finance and HR to ensure the payroll allocation journal entries in the accounting system are correctly labeled, easily identifiable, and allocated correctly. • Work with HR to determine the correct reports needed to track employee allocations are designed correctly in the HRIS. 2. Effort Reports/Certifications • Work with the program leadership on the Time and Effort Certification process including individual and project certifications. • Assist the program leadership in reviewing the time charged to the grants per pay period and certifying that actual time and effort was charged and not budgeted time and effort. • Work with Finance and HR in comparing labor reports to any journal entry with the retro reference, to ensure there was a change and an allocation form completed. This manual process is needed as the current HRIS does not record retro changes.

Cash Management
MATERIAL WEAKNESSQUESTIONED COSTS

During our testing, we noted the Organization’s draw downs were more than the expenditures on the schedule of federal awards as well as the support provided from the general ledger. Questioned costs: $339,667 Context: During our testing, it was noted there was a lack of review or approval on the calculation to actual costs incurred. Cause: The Organization had significant turnover within the finance department and was operating with insufficient resources to manage the cash management process. Recommendation: We recommend the Organization implement a clear approval process and review for the drawing of federal funding. In addition, it is important to establish a clear process and timeline for performing draws. This should involve regular monitoring of expenditures, timely submission of draw requests, and efficient processing of those requests. By implementing an approval and a timely draw process, the Organization enhance internal controls, reduce the risk of fraud, and ensure the accuracy and integrity of the fund draw process, and can better manage its cash flow, and meet its financial obligations.

The Organization secured Attain Partners, a professional services firm, to assist with grants management and reporting. Attain Partners reviewed the SEFA report, as well as the grantbudget, general ledger information, documentation, and drawdowns for the grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (CFDA 93.958) internally known as theSAMHSA R&R grant. They discovered that the budgets were submitted incorrectly, without requesting any indirect costs (IDC), which led to the grant being awarded without IDC. The FY23 draws totaled $2,094,362.95, while the FY23 expenditures recorded in the general ledger amounted to $1,754,696.48, excluding IDC, resulting in $339,667 in questioned costs. As the grant closed on 9/30/2023, the organization is unable to request reimbursement for the IDC. The Grants Management team will undertake a comprehensive revision of the existing policies and procedures and will develop new ones as needed. These policies and procedures will encompass the following processes to ensure proper levels of review and compliance with authorized drawdowns: • The Grants Management team will ensure grant budgets are submitted with the correct IDC and the award includes the IDC in the total amount. • The Grants Management team will ensure the IDC is calculated correctly and included in the drawdown amount. • The Grants Administrator and the Sr. Grants and Budget Analyst will reconcile the grant expenditures monthly to ensure the expenditures allocated to grants are documented, allowable and the drawdowns are equal to actual expenditures.

The Organization is allocating payroll costs to grants based upon budgeted amounts/percentages submitted to the funding agency and does not currently have a system for ensuring that the estimates used produce reasonable approximations of the activity actually performed. Questioned Costs: Unknown Context: This condition occurred in all 60 payroll transactions selected for testing, and represented six different employees. Cause: The Organization has a tracking system in place to monitor the wages by employee charged to federal grants to avoid over-allocation of individual employee wages per the grant budget, but this tracking system does not contain a process for identifying and allocating wages based on submitted time records.Effect: Inaccurate payroll costs may be charged to federal programs if the Organization does not have procedures in place to monitor and record employee time devoted to federal programs. Recommendation: Management should develop a process whereby payroll costs allocated to federal grants are supported by a system of internal controls which provides reasonable assurance that the charges are accurate allowable and properly allocated, reasonably reflect the total activity for which the employee is compensated, and support the distribution of the employee?s wages among specific activities or cost objectives if the employee works on more than one federal award.

MATERIAL WEAKNESS

The Organization?s ETA-9130 were submitted through the on-line portal, however, the certifying official was a member of management who had left the Organization prior to 2022. Context: This condition occurred in all quarterly reports submitted during 2022. Cause: As noted in the Financial Reporting Resources provided by the Department of Labor, states that Grant recipients that will be submitting/certifying ETA-9130 financial reports on behalf of their organization, should log in to the on-line portal (Payment Management System) and update the permissions to request access to the ETA-9130 financial reporting form. In addition, we noted the individual submitting the report, gathers the information, completes the ETA-9130 and submits for filing. There is no review completed of the ETA-9130 by any other individual before submission. Effect: Improper information could be submitted to the federal agency. The certifying official, is certifying that the report is true, complete and accurate and in accordance with U.S. Code Title 18, Section 1001 and Title 31, Sections 3729-3730 and 3801-3812. As the individual was not with the Organization at the time the reports were submitted, there is not proper representation from the Organization on compliance.Recommendation: Management should develop a process of internal controls over submission of the ETA-9130. We recommend a review of the financial reports by a member of management before submission. We also recommend the Organization review its permissions in the Payment Management System to ensure the proper individual have access and permissions to submit reports.

During our review of charges to the Block Grants for Community Mental Health Services program, many charges were incurred on employees? credit cards. The Organization?s credit card process does not have a formal approval process of the charges by the program director prior to being charged to the grant. Charges are to be sent to the program director for review to ensure they are allowable under the grant but the process was not completed consistently. In addition, all credit card receipts are sent to accounting for processing and there is no indication of approval before being charged to the grant or being processed for payment. During our review of charges for the YouthBuild program, we noted expenditures that did not have documentation of proper approval. Context: For the Block Grants for Community Mental Health Services, 42 out of the sample of 60 were relating to credit card charges that did not have documented approvals. For the YouthBuild program, we noted 6 out of the sample of 22 that did not have documentation of proper approval. 5 out of the 6 related to a signed memorandum of understanding with one vendor, however, the individual invoices were not approved.Cause: There is not a formal process to ensure all expenditures are appropriated documented and approved. Effect: For transactions related to federal grants, without the appropriate supporting documentation, charges may be disallowed.
