Prior-Year Finding Number:

2017-015

Status Report on Prior-Year Finding:

NYSCB has emphasized to the vendors the importance of submitting invoices/vouchers in a timely manner. In addition, NYSCB has contacted the Federal Rehabilitation Services Administration (RSA) to determine how to properly process payments outside of the period of performance where such costs are necessary for efficient and timely performance of NYSCB and whether prior approval for these payments could be obtained.

Progress Update:

RSA was onsite at OCFS for a monitoring and technical assistance review in early April 2018 as part of the meeting NYSCB requested technical assistance regarding this question. RSA determined that the voucher in question should not be paid from federal funds and a journal entry has been made to pay the expense using state funds.

Anticipated Completion Date: Corrective action taken and implemented.
