Finding 2024-001 – A. Activities Allowed or Unallowed, B. Allowable Costs/Cost Principles, H. Period of Performance Identification of the federal program: Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Homeland Security Assistance Listing No: 97.036 COVID-19 Disaster Grants – Public Assistance (Presidentially Declared Disasters) Award Period: January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2024 Summary of finding: A material weakness in internal control over compliance was issued related to activities allowed or unallowed for the COVID-19 Disaster Grants – Public Assistance of Norton Healthcare, Inc. and Affiliates (the Corporation). While Management designed internal controls that required expenditures to be reviewed by members of the respective departments in which they originated (e.g. payroll and accounts payable) as expenditures were incurred, internal controls were not designed or implemented around the accumulation of expenditures and review of such expenditures for allowability under the projects for which Norton was approved under the COVID-19 Disaster Grants. Furthermore, the Company does not have formalized policies or documentation around internal contract agency travel allowances, and the payroll department did not retain documentation to evidence the function’s review of unapproved timesheets. Planned corrective action: Norton Healthcare is currently upgrading its timekeeping and attendance system. As part of this initiative, enhanced training and expanded functionality for timekeepers will help ensure that timecards are reviewed and approved prior to payment, in compliance with internal requirements. Relevant policies and procedures will be updated to support this process, including the retention of appropriate documentation. Additionally, the Norton Clinical Agency will establish a formal written policy outlining the stipend review and approval process, ensuring that all documentation is properly maintained. All other expenses submitted to FEMA will be reviewed and approved in writing, outside of the Grants Portal, with appropriate documentation. At this time, there are no pending or anticipated projects related to FEMA claims. Anticipated completion date: December 31, 2026 Responsible contact person: Adam Kempf

Finding 2024-003 Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds/ National Bioterrorism Hospital Preparedness Program/ Block Grants for Community Mental Health Services (21.027/93.889/93.958) Management did not have sufficiently designed internal controls to ensure that effort certifications were completed for all individuals working on multiple federal programs. Management Response: To address the identified deficiency, management is introducing standardized procedures to ensure that effort certifications are completed accurately and on time for all program staff. Program staff will receive targeted training, and a monitoring process will be implemented to support ongoing reviews. In addition, improvements to the effort tracking methodology are being considered to enhance the accuracy of employee time reporting across multiple federal grants, thereby strengthening compliance and minimizing the risk of reporting errors. Contact Person (s) Responsible for Corrective Action: David McDermott, Grants Director, Venice Northe, Grants Accounting Manager and Program teams. Anticipated Completion Date: December 31, 2025.

Corrective Action Plan: Strengthen detailed process for review over payroll charges billed to federal programs. To address the significant deficiency over allowable costs identified in the Single Audit, the Organization will enhance its existing review procedures by implementing a more detailed monthly review process. This will include verifying payroll charges against supporting documentation such as payroll registers, time records, and allocation spreadsheets. Management will also explore the development of a standardized reconciliation checklist and introduce a secondary review step to ensure accuracy and completeness. These measures, combined with continued monthly oversight by the CFO, are intended to reduce the risk of billing errors due to human oversight and reinforce the reliability of payroll cost allocations.

Finding 2024-004 Repeat of Finding 2023-004 Program Federal Assistance Listing and Title: 93.778 Medicaid Cluster, Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Pass-Through Agency: Wisconsin Department of Health Services State Program ID Number and Title: 437.3561/3681 CW Children and Families State Agency: Wisconsin Department of Children and Families State Program ID Number and Title: 435.560100 ADRC 435.000561/000681 Basic County Allocation State Agency: Wisconsin Department of Health Services State Program ID Number and Title: 395.168 Specialized Transit County Operating Aids (Elderly & Disabled) State Agency: Wisconsin Department of Transportation State Program ID Number and Title: 435.000283 IMAA State Share State Agency: Wisconsin Department of Health Services Award Numbers: Unknown Criteria: 2 CRF 200.303 Internal Controls requires that non-federal entities receiving federal awards establish and maintain internal control designed to reasonably ensure compliance with federal laws, regulations and program compliance requirements. The State Single Audit Guidelines (SSAG) require that local entities receiving State awards establish and maintain internal control designed to reasonably ensure compliance with laws, regulations and program compliance requirements. To minimize the risk of errors, internal controls should be in place for all program compliance requirements, including appropriate review and approval of expenditures. Condition/Context: During our testing, we were unable to view approval for the following number of payroll expenditures in each program: • 93.778: 13 out of 20 expenditures tested. • 435.000561/000681, 437.3561/3681: 7 out of 40 expenditures tested. • 435.560100: 14 out of 20 expenditures tested. For programs 395.168 and 435.000283, these are carried over from the prior year as controls have not changed within the system. These samples were not statistically valid. Corrective Action Plan Corrective Action Planned: In response to Finding 2024-004 regarding Internal Control Over Financial Reporting, note that the County is aware that there is lack of controls over its year-end financial reporting process. The County will endeavor to evaluate the need to increase additional staff to meet the deficiencies noted in the finding. However, due to its size, the County does not feel it is cost-effective to hire the number of employees needed to complete these task in house at this point in time and will rely on an outside audit firm. Administration is aware the current payroll and financial system allows to only go back to view payroll approvals within one year. Name(s) of Contact Person(s) Responsible for Corrective Action: Ron Barger, Marquette County Administrator Anticipated Completion Date: Administration will examine the lack of internal financial reporting on a yearly ongoing basis.

The Uniform Guidance and State Single Audit Guidelines further require auditors to obtain an understanding of the local entity's internal control over federal and state programs. To minimize the risk of errors, internal controls should be in place for all program compliance requirements, including the preparation and submission of reports, which should be reviewed and approved by a responsible party other than the original preparer. Condition/Context: The County does not have controls in place to ensure there is documentation of the approval and review of reports prior to submission. Of the reports tested for the current year single audit, 12 of the 13 reports did not have documentation of the review process prior to submittal as follows: 10 of 10 monthly GEARS reports and 1 of 1 WIMCR annual reports did not have documentation of approval, and 1 of 2 monthly SPARC reports did not have documentation of approval. The sample was not statistically valid.
