CRITERIA
The Uniform Guidance requires the reporting package and data collection form to be
submitted to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse the earlier of 30 days after the reports are
received from auditors or nine months after the end of the audit period, unless longer period
of time was agreed to in advance by the cognizant or oversight agency for audit. The Federal
Audit Clearinghouse considers the submission requirement complete when it has received
the electronic submission of both the data collection form and the reporting package. CONDITION AND CONTEXT
The Federal reporting deadline for the June 30, 2023 Single Audit Reporting Package was
March 31, 2024; however, RHD did not submit its Single Audit Reporting Package until July
10, 2024. This finding was initially reported as part of the June 30, 2023 audit reporting
package. Because the late submission was due during the year ended June 30, 2024, it is
deemed to impact compliance for the year ended June 30, 2024 as well so it is being reported
again.
CAUSE
With over 160 different governmental contracts, management has been tasked with
significant reporting and audit requirements. In addition, due to financial conditions disclosed
in note 3 to the financial statements, resources normally committed to the completion of the
audit were utilized for financial analyses and treasury management which had a direct impact
on the financial reporting process which precipitated delinquency in commencing and
completing the fiscal year 2023 audit.
EFFECT OR POTENTIAL EFFECT
The late submission of the reporting package affects all Federal programs administered by
RHD.
REPEAT FINDING
Yes.
RECOMMENDATION
We recommend that RHD improve its financial reporting processes, including timely closing
of the general ledger, so that the Single Audit Reporting Package can be submitted to the
Federal Audit Clearinghouse no later than the earlier of 30 days after the reports are received
from auditors or nine months after year-end.

The Uniform Guidance requires the reporting package and data collection form to be
submitted to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse the earlier of 30 days after the reports are
received from auditors or nine months after the end of the audit period, unless longer period
of time was agreed to in advance by the cognizant or oversight agency for audit. The Federal
Audit Clearinghouse considers the submission requirement complete when it has received
the electronic submission of both the data collection form and the reporting package. CONDITION AND CONTEXT
The Federal reporting deadline for the June 30, 2023 Single Audit Reporting Package was
March 31, 2024; however, RHD did not submit its Single Audit Reporting Package until July
10, 2024. This finding was initially reported as part of the June 30, 2023 audit reporting
package. Because the late submission was due during the year ended June 30, 2024, it is
deemed to impact compliance for the year ended June 30, 2024 as well so it is being reported
again.
CAUSE
With over 160 different governmental contracts, management has been tasked with
significant reporting and audit requirements. In addition, due to financial conditions disclosed
in note 3 to the financial statements, resources normally committed to the completion of the
audit were utilized for financial analyses and treasury management which had a direct impact
on the financial reporting process which precipitated delinquency in commencing and
completing the fiscal year 2023 audit.
EFFECT OR POTENTIAL EFFECT
The late submission of the reporting package affects all Federal programs administered by
RHD.
REPEAT FINDING
Yes.
RECOMMENDATION
We recommend that RHD improve its financial reporting processes, including timely closing
of the general ledger, so that the Single Audit Reporting Package can be submitted to the
Federal Audit Clearinghouse no later than the earlier of 30 days after the reports are received
from auditors or nine months after year-end.

prepare and apply a sliding fee discount schedule (SFDS) so that amounts owed for health
center services by eligible patients are adjusted (discounted) based on the patient’s ability to
pay.
CONDITION AND CONTEXT
During the year ended June 30, 2024, out of a sample of 40 transactions, we noted 12
instances where the sliding fee discount was either incorrectly calculated or not applied. In
addition, we noted 4 items for which documentation supporting the fee was not available.
The known error in the sample was $725 and the projected total error was $4,169.
CAUSE
Given the volume of patients served by the health center program, there were instances where
the staff made errors in the application of the SFDS.
EFFECT OR POTENTIAL EFFECT
The organization was not consistently in compliance with the SFDS requirements of the
health center program.
REPEAT FINDING
No.
RECOMMENDATION
We recommend that the organization implement a review of its SFDS protocols and adjust
processes and retrain staff to ensure consistent application of the SFDS.

93.224 / 93.527 Health Center Cluster
CRITERIA
In accordance with 2 CFR 200.318(i), entities receiving federal funds are responsible for
maintaining records that contain sufficient detail of the history of each procurement
transaction. These records must include the rationale for the procurement method, contract
type selection, contractors selection or rejections, and the basis for the contract price.
CONDITION AND CONTEXT
We selected four procurements for testing. Out of these four, we noted one instance where
the documentation of the rationale behind the vendor selection was not available.
Management was able to explain to us why the vendor offered an appropriate mix of price
and value to the Federal program, but the documentation of the decision was not able to be
presented. Also, for one out of four tested items, a record of the initial debarment/suspension
check was not able to be produced. Management was able to show us a master vendor
database compliance screening that was run after this vendor had been selected. However,
documentation of the initial check was not available.
CAUSE
The staff involved with these procurement decisions did not have a consistent process for
maintaining documentation related to procurement decisions.
EFFECT OR POTENTIAL EFFECT
Without consistent documentation, there is a risk that procurement decisions will not be in
compliance with the procurement requirements of the Uniform Guidance.
REPEAT FINDING
No.
RECOMMENDATION
We recommend that the organization reinforce to all personnel involved in procurement the
importance of maintaining the required documentation for procurement decisions.

CRITERIA
The Uniform Guidance requires the reporting package and data collection form to be
submitted to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse the earlier of 30 days after the reports are
received from auditors or nine months after the end of the audit period, unless longer period
of time was agreed to in advance by the cognizant or oversight agency for audit. The Federal
Audit Clearinghouse considers the submission requirement complete when it has received
the electronic submission of both the data collection form and the reporting package. CONDITION AND CONTEXT
The Federal reporting deadline for the June 30, 2023 Single Audit Reporting Package was
March 31, 2024; however, RHD did not submit its Single Audit Reporting Package until July
10, 2024. This finding was initially reported as part of the June 30, 2023 audit reporting
package. Because the late submission was due during the year ended June 30, 2024, it is
deemed to impact compliance for the year ended June 30, 2024 as well so it is being reported
again.
CAUSE
With over 160 different governmental contracts, management has been tasked with
significant reporting and audit requirements. In addition, due to financial conditions disclosed
in note 3 to the financial statements, resources normally committed to the completion of the
audit were utilized for financial analyses and treasury management which had a direct impact
on the financial reporting process which precipitated delinquency in commencing and
completing the fiscal year 2023 audit.
EFFECT OR POTENTIAL EFFECT
The late submission of the reporting package affects all Federal programs administered by
RHD.
REPEAT FINDING
Yes.
RECOMMENDATION
We recommend that RHD improve its financial reporting processes, including timely closing
of the general ledger, so that the Single Audit Reporting Package can be submitted to the
Federal Audit Clearinghouse no later than the earlier of 30 days after the reports are received
from auditors or nine months after year-end.

Cash Management – Drawdowns from Incorrect Contract
FINDING TYPE
Material Weakness in Internal Control over Compliance
AGENCY
U.S. Department of Health and Human Services
ALN
93.224 / 93.527 Health Center Cluster
CRITERIA
In accordance with 2 CFR 200.302 (b)(3), entities receiving federal funds are responsible for
maintaining records that adequately identify the source and application of funds for federallyfunded
activities.
CONDITION AND CONTEXT
During the year ended June 30, 2024, $542,511 of funds related to contract H80CS00718
were incorrectly drawn from contract 21C8ECS44608C6. The error was only noted after the
balance in contract 21C8ECS44608C6 was prematurely exhausted by the incorrect drawdowns.
Upon noting the error, management informed the federal government of the error and
submitted a request to correct the contract balances on June 11, 2024.
CAUSE
The staff tasked with initiating the draw-downs for this program entered the incorrect contract
number into a funding request and the error was then subsequently repeated.
EFFECT OR POTENTIAL EFFECT
The organization may initiate drawdown requests that are not in compliance with the cash
management requirements of the Uniform Guidance.
REPEAT FINDING
No.
RECOMMENDATION
We recommend that the organization implement a periodic reconciliation between its internal
accounting records and the federal government’s data of each contract’s remaining available
balance.

93.224 / 93.527 Health Center Cluster
CRITERIA
In accordance with 42 USC 254b(k)(3)(E), (F), and (G); 42 CFR sections 51c.303(e), (f), and
(g); and 42 CFR sections 56.303(e), (f), and (g) 2 CFR 200.302 (b)(3), health centers must
prepare and apply a sliding fee discount schedule (SFDS) so that amounts owed for health
center services by eligible patients are adjusted (discounted) based on the patient’s ability to
pay.
CONDITION AND CONTEXT
During the year ended June 30, 2024, out of a sample of 40 transactions, we noted 12
instances where the sliding fee discount was either incorrectly calculated or not applied. In
addition, we noted 4 items for which documentation supporting the fee was not available.
The known error in the sample was $725 and the projected total error was $4,169.
CAUSE
Given the volume of patients served by the health center program, there were instances where
the staff made errors in the application of the SFDS.
EFFECT OR POTENTIAL EFFECT
The organization was not consistently in compliance with the SFDS requirements of the
health center program.
REPEAT FINDING
No.
RECOMMENDATION
We recommend that the organization implement a review of its SFDS protocols and adjust
processes and retrain staff to ensure consistent application of the SFDS.

CRITERIA
In accordance with 2 CFR 200.318(i), entities receiving federal funds are responsible for
maintaining records that contain sufficient detail of the history of each procurement
transaction. These records must include the rationale for the procurement method, contract
type selection, contractors selection or rejections, and the basis for the contract price.
CONDITION AND CONTEXT
We selected four procurements for testing. Out of these four, we noted one instance where
the documentation of the rationale behind the vendor selection was not available.
Management was able to explain to us why the vendor offered an appropriate mix of price
and value to the Federal program, but the documentation of the decision was not able to be
presented. Also, for one out of four tested items, a record of the initial debarment/suspension
check was not able to be produced. Management was able to show us a master vendor
database compliance screening that was run after this vendor had been selected. However,
documentation of the initial check was not available.
CAUSE
The staff involved with these procurement decisions did not have a consistent process for
maintaining documentation related to procurement decisions.
EFFECT OR POTENTIAL EFFECT
Without consistent documentation, there is a risk that procurement decisions will not be in
compliance with the procurement requirements of the Uniform Guidance.
