Notes to SEFA

Title: Relationship to Financial Statements Accounting Policies: Except as noted in Note 3, expenditures on the Schedule are reported on the accrual basis of accounting, which is described in Note 1 to the Systems financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022. Such expenditures are recognized following the cost principles contained in accordance with the Uniform Guidance wherein certain types of expenditures are not allowable or are limited as to reimbursement. Therefore, some amounts presented in this schedule may differ from amounts presented, or used in the preparation of, the basic financial statements. De Minimis Rate Used: N Rate Explanation: The auditee did not use the de minimis cost rate. For the HHS awards related to the Provider Relief Fund (PRF) and American Rescue Plan (ARP) Rural Distribution program, HHS has indicated the amounts on the Schedule be reported corresponding to reporting requirements of the HRSA PRF Reporting Portal. Payments from HHS for PRF are assigned to Payment Received Periods (each, a Period) based upon the date each payment from the PRF was received. Each Period has a specified Period of Availability and timing of reporting requirements. Entities report into the HRSA PRF Reporting Portal after each Periods deadline to use the funds (i.e., after the end of the Period of Availability). Provider Relief Funds (PRF) of $3,377,061 were received during the period of January 1, 2021, to December 31, 2021. Such amounts were recognized as revenue in the Systems financial statements in other operating revenue for the year ended December 31, 2021. Provider Relief Funds are required to be reported on Southwests December 31, 2022 Schedule, based on guidance in the 2022 Compliance Supplement. FEMA funds obligated of $14,288,793 were received during the period of January 1, 2022, to December 31, 2022. Such amounts were recognized as revenue in the Systems financial statements in other operating revenue for the year ended December 31, 2022. FEMA Funds are required to be reported on Southwests December 31, 2022 Schedule, based on guidance in the 2022 Compliance Supplement.
Title: Basis of Presentation Accounting Policies: Except as noted in Note 3, expenditures on the Schedule are reported on the accrual basis of accounting, which is described in Note 1 to the Systems financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022. Such expenditures are recognized following the cost principles contained in accordance with the Uniform Guidance wherein certain types of expenditures are not allowable or are limited as to reimbursement. Therefore, some amounts presented in this schedule may differ from amounts presented, or used in the preparation of, the basic financial statements. 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 grant activity of Southwest Louisiana Health Care System, Inc. and its affiliates (the System) under programs of the federal government for the year ended December 31, 2022. The information in this Schedule 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 System, it is not intended to and does not present the financial position, changes in net assets, or cash flows of the System. The Systems reporting entity is defined in Note 1 to the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Finding Details

Criteria: Quarterly Performance Reports for large projects are required to be submitted within 30 days after the end of each calendar quarter. Universe/ Population Size: 16 Sample size: 7 Condition: During the assessment of compliance over the reporting requirement, we identified non-compliance over the timely submission of quarterly performance reports. In one out of seven reports tested a report was not filed within the 30 day period following the end of the quarter as is required in the applicable compliance supplement. Cause: The System experienced staffing turnover with respect to the position in-charge of this reporting requirement resulting in a delay in submission of this quarterly report. Effect: The system was non-compliant in one reporting period by 16 days. Recommendation: Proper procedures should be established to ensure performance reports are submitted within 30 days of the end of each quarter by cross-training personnel in the performance of this reporting. View of Responsible Official: Management concurs with the finding.
