SIGNIFICANT DEFICIENCYREPEAT OF 2018-002OTHER MATTERS

During our review of the Coalition's compliance with grant reporting requirements, we noted that the following reports and documents were submitted later than the required due dates stipulated in the grant agreements: Report/Document Title Award Identification Number Report/Document Actual Submission Date Required Submission Date Per Grant Agreement Number of Day(s) Late December 2018 Employee Data Report 2018-0031a; 2019-0031a January 19, 2019 January 10, 2019 9 December 2018 Program Report 42170002816 January 30, 2019 January 15, 2019 15 Criteria: In accordance with the terms of the grant agreements, the Coalition was required to submit certain reports and documents as stipulated in the sub-award agreements with Harris County Community Service Department and Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs. Cause: The Coalition?s procedures related to the preparation and submission of grant reports were not sufficient to ensure that these reports were submitted by the due dates. Effect: Weaknesses in internal controls and the identified noncompliance with reporting requirements, could result in sanctions by the Department of Housing and Urban Development. Questioned costs are not applicable to this finding. Recommendation: We recommend that the Coalition establish procedures to ensure that reports are submitted in accordance with the provisions of the contract agreements. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions: See management?s corrective action plan on page 28.

Corrective Action Plan

The Coalition underwent an organizational overhaul with the creation of an internal operations department including a separate compliance department with its own staff. Additionally, the reports in question were identified as programmatic rather than financial, and the responsibility is in the programmatic department and oversight from the compliance and grants section of the Operations Department. Additionally, for any specific reporting system, we have made more staff understanding of reporting systems requirements with additional logins to ensure that everyone required to report with specific due dates are understanding of the process. Anticipated Completion Date: January 2020. Responsible Contact Person: Lynn Lohr-Chief Operating Officer; Concetta Scerbo-Director of Public Grants; Ryan Clay-Compliance Manager.
