(X) Compliance Findings (X) Significant Deficiency () Material Weakness. Context: Of the financial reports reviewed, three reports were not submitted within required due dates. These late submissions occurred, partially, due to the lack of an effective system to track reporting deadlines to ensure deadlines are met. Effect and Questioned Costs: Lack of an effective system to track reporting deadlines could result in late filings. Late filing of federal reports could lead to penalties or other corrective action required by the grantor. Questioned costs are indeterminable. Recommendation: We recommend a process be put in place to allow for someone independent of the financial reporting process to track reporting deadlines to ensure deadlines are met. Management response: See corrective action plan.

Major Program: Early Head Start (EHS) Child Care Partnership Compliance Requirement: Reporting Response: It is Management's full intention to comply with all grant requirements. Management has implemented the following changes: CTL has added an electronic tracking system used in the Outlook environment and maintained by the Grant Manager. The tracking system incorporates both fiscal and program grant deadlines with several staff receiving those deadline reminders. The reminders have also been modified to include both a reminder at two weeks and at one week before the due date; as well as relevant instructions such as persons responsible, systems, forms due and verification of payee numbers are included in the calendar notifications. Specific to Head Start/Early Head Start (HS/EHS) fiscal reports, notifications are aligned with the HS/EHS Federal Reporting of Standard Forms (SF) 425 instructions and due date chart (Log No. ACF-PI-HS-17-04). When discrepancies occur between this guidance and the HS/EHS Performance Management System Reporting Dashboard, immediate contact is made to OHS staff for timely resolution. The CFO and Grant Manager will monitor the tracking system atleast quarterly to ensure that grant report due dates are being met. Throughout the year CTL has engaged and will continue to engage in meetings with OHS staff to go over the various components and intricacies of the HS/EHS Performance Management System Reporting Dashboard to avoid future delinquencies. CTL will continue to advocate with OHS for an accurate/current report submission dashboard. CTL is currently working with OHS to consolidate the 4 current grants into one master grant reducing the reporting requirements significantly and streamlining the process and report due dates. CTL is currently recruiting for a Grant Billing Specialist. The Grant Billing Specialist will have a primary responsibility of tracking and complying with all grant reporting requirements. Date of Completion: March 25, 2021 Person Responsible to Ensure Completion: Jason Richardson, CFO

Corrective Action Plan

Finding 2019-001. Major Program: Early Head Start (EHS) Child Care Partnership. Compliance Requirement: Reporting. Response: It Is management's full intention to comply with all grant requirements. The late report occurred for two reasons. First, the report in question was for a new grant that was issued a new payee number, which was inconsistent with prior issuances of new grants. Although the different grants have unique grant numbers, they had all previously been given the same payee number (which is specific to the organization). The Notice of Award did not contain the new payee number. Reporting systems require the user to enter a payee number first before identifying any pending reports. CTL completed its report due on that same day on time for the other two grants since those shared the same payee number. EHS notified us on May 1st that the report was delinquent and CTL immediately submitted the report. Secondly, the report in question was for a grant reporting period that ended March 31 and for whose grant issuance had also been received on March 31 via Grant Solutions communication. Management's internal systems had not been updated to reflect an entirely new payee number and had also not expected to be reporting on a period end date that was for the same date as the grant Notice of Award notification date. Despite the unique circumstances regarding this report, management has implemented the following changes: effective February 17, 2020 (the issuance of this report), CTL's Lead Staff Accountant has been added to the electronic tracking system used in the Outlook environment and maintained by the Grant Manager. The tracking system incorporates both fiscal and program grant deadlines with several staff receiving those deadline reminders. The reminders have also been modified to include both a reminder two weeks and one before the due date; as well as relevant instructions such as persons responsible, systems, forms due and verification of payee numbers are included on the calendar notifications. Furthermore, CTL has added the reporting deadlines tracking document to the portion of the monthly Finance Committee packet that includes the other required Early Head Start reports. These documents will be reviewed by Finance Committee at their regularly scheduled meetings. Date of Completion: February 17, 2020. Person Responsible to Ensure Completion: Alicia Duran, CFO
