Treasury OIG should follow-up with North Dakota's management to confirm the transactions noted as unsupported or ineligible expenditures within the Contracts greater than or equal to $50,000, Direct Payments greater than or equal to $50,000, Aggregate Reporting less than $50,000, and Aggregate Payments to Individuals payment types are recouped or replaced by other eligible expenditures, not previously charged to CRF, that were incurred during the period of performance. Based on North Dakota management's responsiveness to Treasury OIG's requests and its ability to provide sufficient documentation, Treasury OIG should determine the feasibility of conducting an audit for the Contracts greater than or equal to $50,000, Direct Payments greater than or equal to $50,000, Aggregate Reporting less than $50,000, and Aggregate Payments to Individuals payment types. Treasury OIG should follow-up with Treasury's Office of Capital Access to ensure that management decision letters are issued on the findings identified by the auditor in the Single Audit Report for fiscal years 2021/2022 (combined report). Treasury OIG should follow-up on any CRF specific questioned costs reported in the fiscal year 2021-2022 Single Audit report. 1) Treasury OIG should determine the feasibility of performing additional follow-up with North Dakota to determine if there were other instances of unsupported balances within the DUC oil well grant program; 2) Follow-up with North Dakota management and request that management performs an analysis over all of their grants portal reported balances to determine if there were other instances of subscription costs that extended past September 30, 2022 in addition to the items found through testing; and 3) request that North Dakota management conduct a general ledger detail reconciliation related to the interest income. Based on the results of this analysis, Treasury OIG should determine if the analysis supports the $6,651 difference between the interest earned per the general ledger and the interest claimed in the grants reporting portal.

Finding2Rec.3 - Closed

Direct FSU to strengthen its grant closeout procedures to ensure that it reimburses NSF for any expenses that it determines did not benefit the NSF award(s) charged. Additional procedures should ensure that FSU refunds the NSF award(s) for any materials and supplies that it was unable to use before the award’s period of performance expired.

Finding2Rec.4 - Closed

Direct FSU to implement additional controls to prevent personnel from directly charging NSF awards for costs charged to accounts established to accumulate expenses that are not typically allowed on Federal awards, such as credit/debit fees, unless the personnel obtain specific prior approval.
