4 Remedy Problem Areas or Develop Corrective Action Plan [T]he independent public accountant determined that LAUSD staff had erroneously charged more than $84,000 to the Federal Teacher Incentive Fund grant... LAUSD reported to the independent public accountant that it implemented monitoring and review procedures, including a monthly tracking system for the program expenditures, biweekly budget meetings, and a review process for budget reports. Although we did not verify that the corrective actions were implemented, the actions should improve controls over the Federal Teacher Incentive Fund grant program expenditures and help ensure that errors of this type do not occur in the future. 10 Corrective Action Plan Critical have in place at time of visit, even if implementation will be in the future Specific Measurable Objectives Timelines Clear Lines of Responsibility 11 Logistics Secure Space Copy Machine 12 4
5 Audit Records Can the auditee refuse to provide the auditors with requested documents? GEPA 20 USC 1232(f) requires that ED and its representatives (which arguably includes single auditors) shall have access, for the purpose of audit examination, to any records maintained by a recipient that may be related, or pertinent to, grants UGG also provides audit access to records without qualifiers. If requested records are not provided, likely receive an audit limitation. 13 Communication with Staff Formal (governmental) inquiry Provide any information within personal knowledge No guessing No speculation No time to settle grudges No gossip 14 Identify Key Staff (Audit Committee) Audit Manager: Key contact for all questions, interview arrangements, documents requests, logistical arrangements Agency Leadership: Entrance, exit conference 15 5
6 Identify Key Staff (Audit Committee) Relevant Staff: Assure staff are prepared for interview Subject matter awareness Terminology/Definitions Time and Effort Necessary and Reasonable Inventory Familiarity with job description Familiarity with prior problem areas Familiarity with likely areas of inquiry 16 The Visit Entrance Conference Leadership Set positive tone Audit Manager Review process/logistics Request all interview requests go through manager Request periodic updates (especially problem areas) Do not wait for exit conference 17 The Visit Keep extra copy of all documents supplied!!! Debrief staff after interviews Clear up misunderstandings 18 6
7 Exit Conference Press for specifics If issues: Documents requested? List and send Potential noncompliance findings Review carefully If confirmed, develop corrective actions proactively 19 Next Steps OIG Audit, Single Audit Draft Audit Report Final Audit Report Final determination (ED, State Agency) Respond carefully at each level Problems always easier to resolve at earliest level 20 Next Steps ED can: Accept finding as is Accept finding but reduce or eliminate liability Reject finding Letter of final audit determination Establishes prima facie case 34 CFR
8 Review by ED ED accepts finding with $ liability Appeal to Office of Hearings and Appeals (OHA), 34 CFR Administrative Law Judges (ALJs) are independent Caution Time limits Other Rules of Procedure for Appeals 22 Review by ED ALJ Decision Appeal to Secretary 23 AUDIT DEFENSE AND RESOLUTION 24 8
9 Common Defenses Harm to the Federal interest Equitable offset Statute of limitations 25 Harm to the Federal Interest 34 CFR and Appendix A recipient that made an unallowable expenditure or otherwise failed to account properly for funds shall return an amount that is proportional to the extent of the harm its violation caused to an identifiable Federal interest associated with the program Harm Always Ineligible Beneficiaries Example: IDEA, Part B program funds for students without a disability Unauthorized activities Example: Migrant funds used for local agency staff to attend conference unrelated to Migrant program 27 9
10 Harm - Always (cont.) Fiscal Set-aside Example: SEA spends more than 10% on Perkins state leadership MOE Comparability Supplanting Excess cost Matching 28 Possible No Harm May argue no harm if: Did not obtain required prior approval Missing required time and effort documentation Missing evidence of procurement Caution: ED takes more limited view may require litigation 29 ALJ Decisions - Reconstruction Application of the New York State Department of Education, No R (April 21, 1994) After-the-fact affidavits and other pertinent documentation are admissible as evidence Consolidated Appeals of the Florida Department of Education, Nos. 29(293)88 & 33(297)88 (June 26, 1990) Accepted affidavits completed by supervisors years later as credible and useful evidence 30 10
11 Equitable Offset In effect, an equitable offset permits the substitution of any costs paid under the grant that are subsequently disallowed with otherwise allowable expenditures paid by the grantee, and thereby reduces or eliminates a liability due to ED. Application of Pittsburg Pre-School Community Council, Docket No R (May 16, 2012) 31 Statute of Limitations No recipient under an applicable program shall be liable to return funds which were expended in a manner not authorized by law more than 5 years before the recipient received written notice of a preliminary departmental decision. 20 USC 1234a(k); 34 CFR 81.31(c) For purposes of measuring the statute of limitations, funds are expended as of the date of obligation. Appeal of the State of Michigan, Docket No. 8(272)88, 6 (September 14, 1989) 32 Monitoring Findings Opportunity to Respond Generally, Corrective Actions No Liability 33 11
12 Uniform Grant Guidance Changes The auditor must report (for major programs): Significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in internal controls Significant instances of abuse Material noncompliance Known questioned costs > $25,000 Auditor will not normally find questioned costs for a program that is not audited as a major program NEW: But if auditor becomes aware of questioned costs > $25,000 for non-major program, must report 34 The Uniform Grant Guidance: 1) Right-sizes the footprint of oversight and single audit requirements 2) Focus audits where there is greatest risk of fraud, waste and abuse Makes single audits available online 2. Encourages a cooperative approach to audit resolution 3. Raises threshold to $750, Places focus on internal control deficiencies that have been identified as material weaknesses 36 12
13 Notice of Intent FR Compliance requirements will be streamlined 37 NPRM fr 7295 Proposed limiting audit review of internal controls in compliance supplement from 14 to 7 38 The Proposed Seven Deadly Sins 1. Activities Allowed or Unallowed 2. Allowable Costs (and Matching) 3. Cash Management (Minimizing time) 4. Eligibility 5. Reporting (financial and performance) 6. Subrecipient Monitoring 7. Requirements Unique to the Program 39 13
14 The Seven Controls Proposed to be Voted off the Island 1. Davis-Bacon 2. Inventory Management 3. MOE / Earmarking 4. Period of Availability of Funds 5. Procurement 6. Program Income 7. Real Property Acquisition 40 But who is responsible for oversight of these seven??? Pass-Through 41 No changes made at this time COFAR recommends further outreach 42 14
