Status Report on Prior-Year Finding:

OCFS has developed a comprehensive list by CDFA number for all federal funds passed through OCFS to subrecipients. The list includes additional information such as the grant award numbers, the grant periods, the program title and the division and individual within OCFS responsible for the grant. This information will be updated on an annual basis. Using the comprehensive list of CDFA numbers for all federal funds, AQC has developed an excel spreadsheet, which identifies the amount of federal funds that were awarded to each subrecipient, whether the program was audited as a major program in the subrecipients’ single audit report and if there were any findings regarding the program. If a program has been identified and audited as a major program in the subrecipients’ single audit and no findings are reported, a greater reliance can be placed on the processes and procedures in place at the subrecipient level. The information pertaining to all subrecipients receiving funds from the Title IV-E Foster Care grant and the Adoption Assistance grant has been completed and is in process for all other funds passed through OCFS. The spreadsheet will be updated annually upon the receipt of subrecipients’ new single audit report and the information will be shared with the division within OCFS responsible for the grant.
