Federal Program CDBG-Entitlement Grants Cluster, AL 14.218 Criteria The requirements of 2CFRPart170 Appendix A states that direct recipients of grants or cooperative agreements are required to report first-tier subawards of $50,000 or more to the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act (FFATA) Subaward Report System (FSRS) by the end of the following month in which the direct recipient awards such subawards. Part 3 of the compliance supplement requires this reporting at the $30,000. Condition During the audit, we noted reporting of subaward information to FSRS was not performed within the required timeframe. Cause The entity did not have controls in place to ensure FSRS reporting was completed in the required timeframe. Identification as a Repeat Finding This is a repeat finding. Listed as 2024-005 in prior year single audit report. Effect The entity could jeopardize future grant funding due to program noncompliance. Questioned Costs None. Context/Sampling During the audit, we inquired whether the prior year finding (2024-005) had been corrected. Based on inquiry with City personnel, FFATA subaward reporting had not yet been completed, as responsibility for reporting transitioned following the departure of the prior CDBG Grant Manager. Two subrecipients received CDBG funding in excess of $30,000, for a total of $230,919. These subawards are subject to FFATA reporting requirements.

The delay in submission of the single audit report arose from a delay in completion of the audit. The City's strategy to address this delay in completion of the audit includes prompt reconciliation of account balances, especially the bank account balanes, before we commence the final audit in November of each year. The City recently hired a temporary staff who is mainly focused on assisting with speeding up the bank reconciliation process which will ultimately ensure that the year-end close is completed on time for the final audit. The corrective action will be fully implemented during the Fiscal Year 2023/2024 audit. the contact persons for this corrective action are Adrienne Morales (Accouting Supervisor), Stephen Ajobiewe (Finance Manager), and Matthew Schenk (Director of Finance) for the City of Perris.
