Notes to SEFA

Title: Basis of Presentation Accounting Policies: No funds were identified as having been provided to subrecipients by the Organization and accordingly, no funds identified in the schedule of expenditures of federal awards are attributable to subrecipient entities De Minimis Rate Used: Y Rate Explanation: The Organization has elected to use the 10% de minimis indirect cost rate allowable under the Uniform Guidance. The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards includes the federal grant activity of Great River Health System, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the Organization) and is presented on the accrual basis of accounting. The information in this schedule is presented in accordance with the applicable 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 of expenditures of federal awards presents only a selected portion of the operations of the Organization, it is not intended to and does not present the financial position, changes in net assets, or cash flows of the Organization.

Finding Details

FINDING: 2023-003 ALLOWABLE COSTS Condition: During the performance of our audit engagement procedures, we identified some reported costs that were duplicated. Criteria: Provider Relief Funds are to be used to prevent, prepare for, and respond to coronavirus and the funds shall reimburse the recipient only for health care related expenses or lost revenues that are attributable to coronavirus. Cause: Lack of controls led to oversight in preparation of the costs attributable to coronavirus, which led to certain costs being duplicated in the reporting. Effect: The Organization's internal controls over compliance related to payroll were not effective and as a result caused an error in reporting. Questioned Costs: $2,450,733 Recommendation: We recommended the Organization put in place controls over compliance that mitigate the risk of errors in reporting. It was noted that the total unused lost revenues far exceeded the amounts used in the reporting period. Additional unused lost revenue would have been used had the expenses been reported appropriately. Management Response: Management will review calculations and support for all payroll expenditures to ensure accuracy in future reporting. Management also notes that they had sufficient unused lost revenues to cover the duplicated expenses that were reported incorrectly.
