When LHMC calculated their lost revenues, they included HC’s revenue for both 2020 and 2021 instead of only the 2021 information. This resulted in LHMC reporting higher lost revenues than the detailed reports supported in Period 3. This was corrected in Period 4 reporting. Responsible Individuals: Kevin Abel, CEO and Brigid Burke, CFO Corrective Action Plan: The lost revenue calculation will be re-evaluated and the amount of lost revenue reported on the HHS reporting portal has been updated in Period 4.

Federal Agency Name: Department of Health and Human Services Program Name: COVID-19 Provider Relief Fund and American Rescue Plan Rural Distribution Federal Assistance Listing #93.498 Finding Summary: In some of the quarters for certain entities, it was noted that bad debt expenses were higher than revenues, creating a negative revenue for the quarter. As the HHS reporting portal would not allow negative amounts to be entered, a zero was entered into the HHS reporting portal. These negative amounts should have been offset to other quarters or other revenue line items, but were not, which resulted in higher revenue amounts being reported than the detailed reports supported for two locations for Period 3. Responsible Individuals: Kevin Abel, CEO and Brigid Burke, CFO Corrective Action Plan: The lost revenue calculation for these two locations will be re-evaluated and the amount of lost revenue reported on the HHS reporting portal will be updated in future periods.

The College provided information relating to the federal programs including agreements and other supporting documentation. However, a complete and accurate SEFA was not prepared. Recommendation We recommend the College designate an individual to be responsible for assembling the SEFA after reviewing grant activity to determine that a SEFA is required for the year. The SEFA should be reviewed by management for accuracy and completeness after preparation before being sent to the auditors. Management Response We agree with the auditor's comments. The College is actively recruiting to fill critical accounting vacancies. The College is reviewing standard operating procedures for all federal activity to include grants and student aid. Procedures, training, and processes to review the SEFA will be implemented by the end of FY 2025.

Methow Street Wenatchee, WA 98801 (509) 663-7421 Corrective action the auditee plans to take in response to the finding: In 2023, CCWHA resumed its annual inspections of leased units, assigning a specific inspection month to each property. We acknowledge that, during this transition, certain units were not inspected within the expected annual timeline, as noted by the State Auditor's Office. This was primarily due to tenant refusals and necessary rescheduling. To address this, CCWHA has implemented the following corrective measures: 1.Revised Inspection Schedule: We have adopted a new system to ensure that inspections are completed in the month preceding the assigned inspection month from the prior year. 2.Ongoing Staff Training: Housing Authority staff responsible for inspections will continue to receive regular training to emphasize the importance of timely, comprehensive assessments. This training reinforces the need for compliance with federal Housing Quality Standards (HQS) and the importance of maintaining accurate records. We fully understand the importance of adhering to HQS requirements to ensure a safe and healthy living environment for our tenants. We are committed to continuously improving our inspection processes and appreciate the opportunity to address these concerns. Anticipated date to complete the corrective action: Immediately

We appreciate the auditor's identification of the material weakness in our internal controls over the documentation of approved pay rates related to our federal award. We understand the importance of maintaining adequate internal controls to prevent, detect, and correct misstatements on a timely basis. 1. Documentation Process: We will implement a documentation process to ensure that all employee pay rates related to our federal award are documented and approved by management. Specifically, we will: a. Assign responsibility for documenting and approving employee pay rates related to our federal award to a specific staff member. b. Establish a process for documenting and approving employee pay rates related to our federal award, including the use of a standardized form. c. Ensure that all employee pay rates related to our federal award are documented and approved before payroll is processed. d. Investigate and resolve any discrepancies identified during the documentation and approval process related to our federal award. e. Document the documentation and approval process related to our federal award and ensure that all documentation is maintained. 2. Internal Controls: We will strengthen our internal controls over the documentation of approved pay rates to ensure that misstatements are prevented, detected, and corrected on a timely basis. Specifically, we will: a. Establish a process for reviewing all employee pay rates by management. b. Ensure that all staff members responsible for documenting and approving employee pay rates are trained on the new process and the importance of maintaining adequate internal controls. c. Document the new process and internal controls in a written policy and procedure manual. 3. Personnel: We will ensure that personnel changes do not impact our internal controls over the documentation of approved pay rates. Specifically, we will: a. Cross-train staff members to ensure that there is adequate coverage for all employee pay rates. b. Establish a process for documenting and communicating changes in personnel responsibilities related to the documentation and approval of employee pay rates. We believe that these corrective actions will effectively address the material weakness identified by the auditor and strengthen our internal controls over the documentation of approved pay rates. We are committed to ensuring the accuracy and integrity of our financial reporting and maintaining the trust of our stakeholders. Person Responsible: Anthony Jayesingha Date Corrected: 7/31/2023

CONDITION: During my review of the Municipal Water Authority of Aliquippa’s internal controls over federal awards, I noted that the Authority does not have formal written policies and procedures surrounding the management of their federal award funds. Although not all-inclusive, an example of some of the required polices would include written procedures for procurement, conflict of interest, and allowable costs. CRITERIA: Section 2 CFR 200.303 of the Uniform Guidance requires non-federal entities such as the Municipal Water Authority of Aliquippa to maintain effective internal controls over federal awards. In addition, the Uniform Guidance also recommends these internal controls follow guidance in Standards for Internal Control in the Federal Government (the Green Book), issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. RECOMMENDATION: I recommend that the Municipal Water Authority of Aliquippa adopt the required written policies and procedures surrounding the management of federal award funds as prescribed by Section 2 CFR 200.303 of the Uniform Guidance. The focus of these policies and procedures should be to ensure that the Authorityofficials who are responsible for carrying out the objectives of the federal financial award understand 1) the federal statutes, regulations, and terms and conditions of the award, 2) how to evaluate and properly monitor compliance, and 3) the steps to take if noncompliance is identified. MANAGEMENT’S PLANNED CORRECTIVE ACTION: Management of the Authority will begin the process of reviewing Section 2 CFR 200.303 of the Uniform Guidance with the objective of understanding what specific policies and procedures surrounding the management of their federal award funds are required. As recommended, the focus of these policies and procedures will be to ensure that the Authority officials who are responsible for carrying out the objectives of the federal financial award understand 1) the federal statutes, regulations, and terms and conditions of the award, 2) how to evaluate and properly monitor compliance, and 3) the steps to take if noncompliance is identified. The timeframe for researching the required written policies and procedures of the Uniform Guidance, and the development and implementation of these written policies and procedures will cover the period including the last quarter of calendar year 2024 through and including the 2nd quarter of calendar year 2025.
