Corrective Action Plan: Management concurs with the findings. Sheltering Arms has strengthened its grant accounting, financial close and reporting controls to ensure that grant revenue, receivables, expenses, refundable advances and SEFA amounts are recorded accurately and in the appropriate reporting period. During fiscal year 2025, the Finance department experienced significant personnel changes. New management performed a transaction review to determine whether transactions were properly allocated and recorded. During this review, several transactions totaling $741,113 were identified as having been allocated to the incorrect fiscal period. In addition, the $357,774 liability resulted from an adjustment made by a contractor in March 2025 that incorrectly allocated CACFP revenues and related expenses to fiscal year 2024. Responsible Party: Chief Financial Officer, with support from the Finance Team. Anticipated Completion Date: Updated processes have been implemented and are currently in operation to mitigate the risk of future findings. Monitoring Plan: Management will perform monthly reviews of grant reconciliations, cost transfers, and significant grant-related journal entries to ensure transactions are recorded accurately, supported by appropriate documentation, and recognized in the proper reporting period.
