Finding Details

Views of responsible officials: As a result of the fiscal year 2022 findings and leadership changes, VAMHAR experienced significant delays in contracting with an auditing firm to be able to do the audits for the years ended June 30, 2023, 2024 and 2025, and to get current with its filings. However, through changes in the board, staff and leadership, including contracting with an accountant since these recommendations were issued, VAMHAR has put into effect policies and internal controls to allow it to submit filings on time and in compliance going forward once the previous audits are filed.
Views of responsible officials: We have created internal controls to ensure all grant reports are submitted on time.
Views of responsible officials: VAMHAR is updating their procurement policy and internal controls to comply with the Uniform Guidance standards.
Views of responsible officials: VAMHAR now has a time tracking procedure and approval process for payroll costs. Time tracking records are now kept digitally in a limited access shared drive. VAMHAR now has an invoice approval policy in place for documentation and approval of all invoices prior to payment.
Views of responsible officials: VAMHAR has put internal controls and a process in place for approvals of journal entries and bank reconciliations as of fiscal year 2024.
