Management decision deadline — for entities that funded this organization
The FAC accepted this audit on May 20, 2026. Under 2 CFR 200.521(d), a pass-through entity that provided federal funds to this organization for this audit period must issue a management decision on these findings by November 20, 2026 (85 days from today).
What is a management decision? →There were two conditions present: • One employee had duplicate hours for three pay periods. • Two employees had incorrect pay rates used for the calculation of allowable payroll costs for seven pay periods. Questioned costs: • $3,974 - B-23-UN-12-0002 • $81 - B-25-UU-12-0003 Context: Forty employee pay periods were selected for testing. • One employee had a total of twenty-four hours duplicated over four pay periods. • Two employees had incorrect pay rates across seven pay periods. Cause: Allowable payroll costs are performed using a manual process. While the calculation was reviewed and approved, a cross check between the KRONOS report and the allowable cost calculation was not performed. Allowable payroll costs are calculated using pay rates at end of the quarter. When there are no changes during the quarter, this methodology results in an accurate calculation. However, if a pay rate changes during the quarter, this methodology results in a misstatement for the calculation of allowable payroll costs. Effect: Using incorrect hours or pay rates to calculate wages recorded quarterly can result in overcharging grant and submitting inaccurate expenditures to the grant which may lead to non-compliance with grant requirements. Repeat Finding: No Recommendation: It is recommended the County modify its procedure to include: • Improve reconciliation procedures to verify hours per pay period recorded in quarterly spreadsheet agrees to hours recorded in the KRONOS system. • Record grant wages using the pay rate at the beginning of the quarter if recorded on a quarterly basis or use pay rates for each pay period if recorded on a pay period basis. Views of responsible official and planned corrective actions: Management concurs with the auditor’s recommendations. Action taken in response to finding: • Document the audit process in a formalized SOP and cross train all reviewers from SRGA Admin, Budget, and Fiscal. • Create a checklist to accompany each personnel draw to ensure that after rates are verified that SRGA Admin certifies that no RPAs or pay adjustments were approved during the pay periods reported and if there were, a second pay rate is entered for that draw and hours are split according to accurate rates/dates. • Document the cure process in the SOP to ensure that any errors found after the fact will be corrected with HUD to remain compliant and to ensure that no funds drawn in error are retained. • Include a date verification process prior to submission of the draw to ensure that staff did not duplicate any dates. This verification will be an audit of the Time Tracking Review completed by Admin staff. Ongoing training and coaching will be administered should duplicate entries be found on final draw reports. • Audit of all personnel draws for both allocations of CDBG-DR grants will be completed using the new SOP and verification tools before the end of fiscal year 2026.

It was observed that quarterly progress reports lacked documentation of review and approval by management prior to submission. Questioned Costs: None. Context: Two of two quarterly progress reports selected for testing lacked documented review and approval. Cause: The lack of review and approval of grant quarterly progress report submissions may be attributed to insufficient training of staff on the importance of the review process, inadequate staffing levels, or a lack of clear guidelines and procedures for the review and approval process. Effect: The lack of a proper review and approval process for grant quarterly progress report submissions can result in the submission of inaccurate and incomplete reimbursement requests and reports, which may lead to non-compliance with grant requirements and potential financial penalties. Repeat Finding: No Recommendation: We recommend that the organization implement a review and approval process for all quarterly progress report submissions. This should include: - Training staff on the importance of the review and approval process. - Ensuring adequate staffing levels to handle the review process. - Developing clear guidelines and procedures for the review and approval process. - Regularly monitoring and auditing the review process to ensure compliance. View of Responsible Official and Planned Corrective Actions: Management concurs with the auditor’s recommendations.
