State of Missouri Single Audit Corrective Action Plan Year Ended June 30, 2023 State Agency: Department of Social Services (DSS) – Division of Finance and Administrative Services (DFAS) and Children’s Division Audit Finding Number: 2023–008 – Department of Social Services Cost Allocation Name of the contact person responsible for corrective action: Arlene Damron Anticipated completion date for corrective action: April 2024 Recommendation: The DSS continue to strengthen internal controls and procedures over the PACAP, the AlloCAP system, the RMTS process, and the RMTS allocation to ensure costs are properly allocated to federal programs. In addition, the DSS should revise the PACAP to reflect updates to the RMTS process. DSS Response: The department partially agrees with the recommendation. DSS does not agree internal controls need to be strengthened for the PACAP and the AlloCAP. This part of the process functioned as intended. The issues identified by the auditor occurred based upon the way the RMTS universe was defined after revisions were made in the HR data that was being entered into SAM II HR. Staff that were not eligible were selected for the RMTS due to these changes. Corrective action planned is as follows: The RMTS universe has been corrected to exclude staff that do not fall into the specific criteria of eligible staff. An RMTS response report will be pulled monthly to review the results to make sure invalid responses are removed prior to allocating administrative costs.

State of Missouri Single Audit Corrective Action Plan Year Ended June 30, 2023 State Agency: Department of Health and Senior Services Audit Finding Number: 2023-012 CACFP Subrecipient Reimbursements Name of the contact person responsible for corrective action: Sarah Walker, Bureau Chief Anticipated completion date for corrective action: The agency does not agree with the audit findings or believes that corrective action is not required. Explanation and specific reasons are as follows: CACFP Subrecipient Reimbursements DHSS disagrees. The DHSS through BCFNA maintains a strong system of internal controls over meal reimbursements to CACFP facilities/sponsors to ensure costs are allowable and supported. The system is in compliance with Uniform Guidance and USDA program requirements. The system includes subrecipient monitoring based on risk assessments per the substance and spirit of Uniform Guidance, initial and ongoing training and technical assistance opportunities, and reviews of invoices. Throughout the SAO’s finding they repeatedly acknowledge that the BCFNA monitoring process is in compliance with Nutritionist Manual which is based on USDA requirements, but is somehow not in compliance with broader federal requirements. This goes against the accepted hierarchy of federal compliance guidance which says that 2 CFR 200 Uniform Grant Guidance is broader and less specific than the higher ranking requirements set forth by specific federal grant funders and awards. The SAO has not noted any specific noncompliance with federal requirements regarding subrecipient monitoring. The SAO’s finding noted the DHSS could enhance or improve its process but not that it is out of compliance with federal requirements for subrecipient monitoring. The SAO is trying to hold DHSS to a higher standard than what is federally required. The DHSS’ strong system of internal controls which is documented in the Nutritionist Manual is in compliance with federal regulations and is used as a best practice by the USDA for other states. The report from the most recent USDA Management Evaluation Report for Fiscal Year 2023 issued November 2023 stated “The FNS determined that the SA Monitoring of Sponsors and SA Oversight of Sponsor Monitoring’s has adequate management controls in place for administering the CACFP in accordance with Federal regulations. The FNS staff reviewed SA practices that included detailed SA review forms, spreadsheets that provided extra oversight, and written procedures detailing the monitoring process. The SA provides online CACFP trainings along with a handbook to institutions that detail policies and procedures governed by the SA. The SA developed an extensive tracking system in addition to a very thorough review tool that contains meal component and pattern calculation. The SA conducts oversight of the review process and tracks each step to confirm completion of any follow up required of institution. The SA CACFP training resources and online modules were reviewed and evaluated to ensure it contained the correct information and up to date policies and procedures. The FNS staff reviewed the SA policies and procedures and interviewed key SA staff regarding procedures for each respective area of this Section. All files reviewed are compliant with Program requirements. The FY 2023 CACFP ME review did not identify any significant reportable issues.” This entitlement program provides reimbursements for nutritious meals and snacks to organizations that serve eligible children and adults. CACFP processes an average of 700 claims per month and provided healthy meals in Missouri to over 31 million children and adults in 2023. The increased claim testing and recoupment suggested by the SAO would create a significant barrier to participation for sponsors/facilities (many of which are small child care centers, day care homes, emergency shelters and adult day care centers) which is prohibited by USDA. Reviewing supporting documentation with every individual reimbursement claim at the time of submission as suggested in the finding is not feasible given the number of reimbursement claims processed monthly by program staff already functioning at capacity. Neither is it required by Uniform Guidance, the USDA or standard subrecipient monitoring procedures. The BCFNA already requires claims to be paid on a reimbursement basis rather than in advance and performs various reviews of the claims in CNPWeb, so the additional step of requiring supporting documentation with every reimbursement claim at the time of submission is unnecessary and is intended as a specific condition to remedy high risk subrecipients per 2 CFR 200.208. Furthermore, BCFNA offers technical assistance training and reviews in addition to regular monitoring reviews. In addition to the edit checks within the CNPWeb system which validate such things as capacity limits and licensing, BCFNA staff has, and continues to perform, additional verification such as spot-checks for inconsistencies (i.e. a greater number of enrolled participants as compared to licensed or total capacity or suspicious claim irregularities or patterns). Each claim submitted also requires a certification of truthfulness, accuracy, completeness with potential criminal, civil or administrative penalties in accordance with U.S. Code Title 18, Section 1001 and Title 31, Sections 3729-3730 and 3801-3812. As noted by the SAO, the risk based monitoring approach implemented by BCFNA has been effective in identifying significant issues and claim errors in recent years. The USDA established an acceptable level of risk with respect to the CACFP program and provided approved risk management processes and requirements. DHSS disagrees with the methodology the SAO used in its calculations. Out of the SAO’s test sample of 60 monitoring reviews, only 9 of the overclaims were over the $600 threshold of acceptable risk set by the USDA. 7 CFR 226.8(f): In conducting management evaluations, reviews, or audits in a fiscal year, the State agency, FNS, or OIG may disregard an overpayment if the overpayment does not exceed $600. A State agency may establish, through State law, regulation or procedure, an alternate disregard threshold that does not exceed $600. The SAO left the inflated error percentage in the body of the finding despite repeated requests and only included the lower suggested rates in footnote 4. The SAO also did not explain how their test of monitoring reviews performed by BCFNA, instead of a sample of claims submitted, was representative of CACFP reimbursements that would lend to projecting to the total population. BCFNA monitors using a risk-based approach as required and in response to known erroneous claims and to proactively address issues. A sample of monitoring reviews is proportionally more likely to include a higher number of claims with discrepancies. For example, fifty five percent of the monitoring reviews completed during fiscal year 2023 were graded as a B or C and were give additional technical assistance and/or monitoring follow up as a result.

Finding 2023-001 – Internal control deficiency over Activities Allowed or Unallowed, Allowable Costs/Cost Principles, Period of Performance, Reporting, and Special Tests and Provisions. Condition: Management did not design effective internal controls to retain documentation to evidence the operating effectiveness of the internal controls over the projects and related expenses submitted to FEMA for reimbursement. Current Status: In progress. Resolution: Management will develop and implement additional internal controls to ensure documentation is retained to evidence the operating effectiveness of the internal controls. These internal controls will ensure expenses included in FEMA grant applications are reported completely and accurately. The additional internal controls will include a reconciliation of application expense detail to final paid invoices along with a notation that each expense is allowed to be included in the FEMA submission. The reconciliation will be reviewed and approved by the Cottage Health Director of Finance prior to final FEMA submission and evidence of the review will be retained.

Name, address, and telephone of District contact person: Caryn Metsker, Director of Financial Services 800 Eastmont Avenue East Wenatchee, WA 98802-4443 509-888-4686 Corrective action the auditee plans to take in response to the finding: The Eastmont School District respectfully does not concur with the finding regarding our internal controls for ensuring compliance with allowable activities, costs, and restricted purpose requirements in regard to the Emergency Connectivity Funds. The District has completed the necessary corrective actions by revising our board policies and procedures to ensure compliance with allowable activities, costs, and restricted purpose requirements. However, these changes were not implemented by the end of the 2022-2023 school year because the audit for the 2021-2022 school year had not been completed until the 2023-2024 school year. Consequently, the District was unable to implement the new process until the audit status for 2021-2022 was confirmed, ensuring that the corrected steps were compliant The District did not receive any specific guidance from the State Auditor's Office on how to properly document the unmet need identified in the audit. Despite our efforts to seek assistance and clarification, the lack of direction hindered our ability to address the finding promptly. The necessary changes to our policies and procedures required approval from the Board of Directors. This approval, governed by a strict process, was not obtained until December 2023. We began working on the changes immediately following the previous audit but were constrained by the formal approval process. The District is disappointed that despite our efforts to comply, the State Auditor's Office issued another finding for the 2022-2023 audit based on a differing opinion on the "unmet" need. This repetition of findings, despite our documented efforts and changes, suggests a misalignment in expectations and understanding. The audit for the 2022-2023 school year consumed significant resources and taxpayer dollars, which we believe could have been better utilized. The time spent reviewing our information, which was largely unchanged except for the updated policy and procedure, appears redundant. We had asked for documentation and guidance from the State Auditor's Office but did not receive the necessary support or compliance assistance. The District is committed to maintaining high standards of accountability and compliance. We regret that our efforts to address the audit findings were not deemed timely enough and that this has resulted in an additional finding. We will continue to enhance our processes and seek clearer communication and guidance from the State Auditor's Office to ensure that future audits are more aligned with our compliance efforts. We hope this response provides a clear understanding of our position and the steps we have taken. Anticipated date to complete the corrective action: The corrective action has already been implemented within the school district.

To address the identified weaknesses and strengthen internal controls over the preparation of the SEFA, management has initiated the following actions: 1. Establishment of Formal Policies and Procedures: We have developed and implemented a formal, written policy for the preparation and review of the SEFA. This policy outlines clear roles, responsibilities, and timelines for all departments involved in the process. 2. Centralization of Data Collection: We are centralizing the process of collecting expenditure data, which will be overseen by a designated team within the fiscal department. This will ensure consistency and accuracy in reporting across all departments. 3. Staff Training and Development: Key personnel involved in SEFA preparation are undergoing specialized training on federal, state, and city compliance requirements. This includes training on the proper classification of awards and expenditures. 4. Internal Review and Monitoring: A second layer of review has been introduced to verify the accuracy and completeness of the SEFA before it is submitted. A senior financial officer will perform this review, ensuring that any discrepancies are identified and corrected before submission. Management will implement ongoing monitoring to ensure adherence to the new policies and procedures. Quarterly reviews will be conducted to assess the accuracy of the data and the efficiency of the control measures. Management is committed to maintaining robust internal controls over the preparation of the SEFA to ensure the timely and accurate reporting of federal, state, and city awards. The actions outlined above are designed to prevent the recurrence of this deficiency and ensure full compliance with regulatory requirements.

CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN SEPTEMBER 4, 2024 The POISE Foundation respectfully submits the following corrective action plan for the year ended December 31, 2023. Name and address of independent public accounting firm: Maher Duessel, CPAs 503 Martindale Street, Suite 600 Pittsburgh, PA 15212 Audit period: January 1, 2023 to December 31, 2023 The findings from the December 31, 2023 schedule of findings and questioned costs are discussed below. The findings are numbered consistently with the numbers assigned in the schedule.Finding 2023-001 - Internal Control over Financial Reporting - Allowable Costs U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Passed through the Pennsylvania Department of Health Immunization Cooperative Agreements, ALN 93.268 Allowable Costs Condition: The Foundation did not have adequate procedures in place to ensure that all costs submitted to the Pennsylvania Department of Health (DOH) were allowable. Close monitoring of invoices was performed by DOH, resulting in repeated requests to adjust invoicing of grant costs to remove unallowable costs. This cycle of submission and rejection went on for many months, elongating the reimbursement process. During our compliance testing, we noted three of twenty-five expenditures charged to the federal grant and selected for detailed testing that were determined to be unallowable costs. These unallowable costs were also identified by the DOH during their invoice review.Total federal expenditures between 2021 and 2023 were $2,549,344. Of this amount, expenditures totaling $1,049,850 have been reviewed in totality and ultimately approved by the DOH as allowable costs, after corrections were made by the Foundation. Remaining federal expenditures incurred in 2023 of $1,499,494 are pending DOH approval. Based on previously identified unallowable costs, we acknowledge there could be additional unallowable costs as the DOH reviews and approves invoices relating to the remaining 2023 federal expenditures. The amount of potential unallowable costs cannot be quantified. As was understood by the Foundation to be the case from grant inception, the DOH intends to review each monthly invoice to ensure 100% of costs are allowable, and will not move forward to the next month until the month under review is corrected by the Foundation and approved by DOH for reimbursement. Criteria: The Foundation administered the federal 93.268 grant passed through from the Pennsylvania Department of Health and therefore committed to following the internal control and compliance regulations set forth in Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance).Cause: The Foundation does not have internal controls in place to ensure adequate review of allowable costs for the DOH grant. Effect: The Foundation was not in compliance with allowable costs. As described above, significant effort was required on the part of the Foundation to invoice and make corrections and re-submit and significant effort was required on the part of DOH to monitor the grant submissions. This resulted in significant delays in the receipt of additional grant reimbursements by the Foundation and negatively impacted the Foundation's cash flows. Questioned costs: Unknown.Context: 100% testing by DOH to date has indicated systemic issues. Our sampling resulted in similar findings. DOH intends to do a 100% test of all transactions.Repeat Finding from Prior Year: No. Recommendation: We recommend that management establish procedures to ensure that all costs charged to the grant are appropriately reviewed and determined allowable per the grant agreement, ideally before even being incurred but certainly before being invoiced to the DOH. POISE Foundation Response: Management acknowledges several costs included in the initial invoice were deemed to be unallowable costs. It was communicated to management that it could not submit the initial invoice until all expenses had occurred for the initial payment. The initial invoice included a span of 19 months and many of the unallowable costs were reoccurring costs that were deemed unallowable. Management has hired a new Managing Director who has oversight of the invoicing process. The Managing Director has reviewed all unsubmitted invoices to ensure past costs that were deemed unallowable will not be charged in subsequent invoices and will review any new costs to ensure they comply with allowable costs. This is currently being done as of the date of this letter. Finding 2023-002: Internal Control over Financial Reporting and Account Adjustments Condition: During the audit process, several adjustments involving contribution revenue and related contributions receivable were proposed by the auditors in order for the financial statements to be prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). Then, using the information provided by management, the auditors prepared the GAAP financial statements, which were subsequently reviewed by management. These adjustments were necessary to properly reflect current year operations and account balances as of year-end. Criteria: Auditing standards continue to place emphasis on determining an entity's ability to fully prepare their own external financial statements, including the posting of all adjustments necessary to present financial statements in accordance with GAAP and evaluating the need for all necessary financial statement disclosures.Cause: Internal controls were not in place to ensure that the Foundation follow appropriate contribution revenue recognition standards for conditional and unconditional grant awards and the Foundation did not post necessary adjustments for contribution revenue to be recorded in accordance with GAAP. Effect: Adjustments were required to be recorded in order for the financial statements to be prepared in accordance with GAAP. Recommendation: We recommend that management evaluate the internal controls over the financial reporting process to ensure that an individual is assigned to review contributions received for proper revenue recognition and to ensure the financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP. POISE Foundation Response: POISE Foundation has put in place a process whereby revenue will be classified as conditional or unconditional and booked accordingly based on a review of funding agreements and contracts by the development, program and finance department staff to ensure there is agreement on the nature of the revenue to ensure proper accounting in a timely manner.This is currently being done as of the date of this letter.

When a salaried employee has uncompensated overtime, the Garden must charge the documented hourly rate, adjusting hours for the uncompensated time against non-contract funding. This results in the actual paid dollars being billed to the federal award, as appropriate for cost reimbursement. The outcome being total hours on the timecard may be more than the paid hours reflected in the register. This is in accordance with the Uniform Guidance. The calculation of this adjustment was performed but not documented. Corrective Action Plan: Documentation of the salary allocation process has been completed. Anticipated Completion Date: Completed. Contact person(s) responsible for the corrective action: Jaime Kuczkowski, CPA Jaime@balancefm.com, Diane Wondolowski, Director of Finance, dwondolowski@sbbotanicgarden.org.
