L. No. 116-136, 134 Stat. 563) and are to be used to prevent, prepare for, and respond to coronavirus and that the funds shall reimburse the recipient only for expenses or lost revenues that are attributable to coronavirus. Condition: St. Andrew?s at Francis Place?s (the Organization) internal controls over compliance related to COVID-19 expenditures were not effective as the Organization reported the same COVID-19 expenses in the Period 1 and Period 2 reports, thus overstating the amount of reported COVID-19 expenses by approximately $32,000. Management has identified that St. Andrew?s at Francis Place has more than a sufficient amount of COVID-19 expenditures and lost revenues related to COVID-19 to offset this difference Questioned costs: None Context: Based on the portal configuration St. Andrew?s at Francis Place believed accumulated costs, since the beginning of the pandemic, should be entered into Period 2 vs. just the incremental amounts exclusive of Period 1. Cause: The design of the portal was unclear as the reporting for expenses and lost revenues are handled differently. Effect: The Organization?s internal controls around compliance were not effective in identifying allowable expenses associated with COVID-19. Repeat Finding: N/A Recommendation: We recommend St. Andrew?s at Francis Place design controls to ensure that expenses are reported in accordance with latest HHS guidelines. Views of responsible officials: There is no disagreement with the audit finding.
