Notes to SEFA

Title: Basis of Presentation Accounting Policies: Expenditures reported on the schedule are reported on the accrual basis of accounting. When applicable, such expenditures are recognized following the cost principles contained in the Uniform Guidance, wherein certain types of expenditures are not allowable or are limited as to reimbursement. No federal financial assistance has been provided to a subrecipient. De Minimis Rate Used: N Rate Explanation: The auditee did not use the de minimis cost rate. The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards (the Schedule) includes the federal award activity of Walhalla Community Hospital Association d/b/a Pembilier Nursing Center (Home) under programs of the federal government for the year ended June 30, 2022. The information is presented in accordance with the requirements of Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance). Because the schedule presents only a selected portion of the operations of the Home, it is not intended to and does not present the financial position, changes in net assets, or cash flows of the Home.
Title: The Loan Programs Accounting Policies: Expenditures reported on the schedule are reported on the accrual basis of accounting. When applicable, such expenditures are recognized following the cost principles contained in the Uniform Guidance, wherein certain types of expenditures are not allowable or are limited as to reimbursement. No federal financial assistance has been provided to a subrecipient. De Minimis Rate Used: N Rate Explanation: The auditee did not use the de minimis cost rate. Expenditures reported in this schedule consist of the beginning of the year outstanding loan balances plus advance made on the loan during the year. The outstanding balance as of June 30, 2022 was $4,332,916.
Title: Provider Relief Funds Accounting Policies: Expenditures reported on the schedule are reported on the accrual basis of accounting. When applicable, such expenditures are recognized following the cost principles contained in the Uniform Guidance, wherein certain types of expenditures are not allowable or are limited as to reimbursement. No federal financial assistance has been provided to a subrecipient. De Minimis Rate Used: N Rate Explanation: The auditee did not use the de minimis cost rate. The Home received amounts from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) through the Provider Relief Fund and American Rescue Plan (PRF) program. The PRF expenditures were recognized on the Schedule when the expenditures were included in the reporting to HHS for Period 2 and Period 3, defined as payments received between July 1, 2020 and June 30, 2021. As the total amount of $149,235 was included on the Period 2 and Period 3 reports submitted to HHS, that amount is shown on the accompanying Schedule.The total amount of PRF expenditures included on the SEFA requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reports amounts. Accordingly, such expenditures are considered a significant estimate. Estimates and assumptions may include reducing actual expenses by amounts that have been reimbursed or are obligated to be reimbursed by other sources and estimating marginal increases in expensesrelated to coronavirus. Actual amounts could differ from those estimates.

Finding Details

2022-003 Department of Agriculture Federal Financial Assistance Listing #10.766 Community Facilities Loans and Grants Cluster Special Tests and Provisions Significant Deficiency in Internal Control Over Compliance Criteria 2 CFR 200.303(a) establishes that the auditee must establish and maintain effective internal control over federal award that provides assurance that the entity is managing the federal award in compliance with federal statutes, regulations, and conditions of the federal awards. Condition During our testing, there was no formal review separate from the preparer over the reserve fund reconciliation for the federal program. Cause The Home did not have an adequate internal control policy in place to ensure review and approval over the reserve fund. Effect The lack of adequate policies governing review increases the risk that employees participating in the federal award administration may not be able to detect and correct noncompliance in a timely manner. Questioned Costs None reported. Context/Sampling Sampling was not used. The Home has two required reserve accounts that were tested. Repeat Finding from Prior Years No Recommendation We recommend that the Home enhance internal control policies to ensure that formal documentation of reviews is present. Views of Responsible Officials Management agrees with the finding.
