Views of Responsible Officials: Due to the nature of our operations, we have a multinational payroll carried out in our subsidiaries. The timekeeping records are produced by the employees and reviewed by managers, are received by the finance team once the month is closed and the salaries being paid. To distribute the payroll data to grants as per the allocations in the timekeeping data there is an unavoidable manual aspect which is open to human error. Additional internal controls will be put in place to eliminate human error as far as possible in future.

Management and Corrective Action: The organization has had meetings with both Alameda and Santa Clara Counties, and it has been resolved that all awards are to specify either the federal amount or percentage of federal money. We expect to do all filings within Uniform Guidance which states that federal single audit must be completed and the data collection form and the reporting package (as defined in the Uniform Grant Guidance), be submitted within 30 days after receipt of the auditors' report or nine months after year end, whichever comes earlier. The organization is in the process of updating her policies and procedures to ensure that the federal single audit reporting package is submitted timely.

Finding Number: 2023-001 Allowable Costs/Cost Principles - Compliance and Internal Control Summary of Finding: The Code of Federal Regulations 2 CFR 200.303, Internal Control, requires the nonfederal entity to establish and maintain effective internal control over Federal awards that provides reasonable assurance that the non-federal entity is managing Federal awards in compliance with Federal statutes, regulations, and other terms and conditions. During the audit, we noted an instance for which an employee was reinstated and received retro-active payment for the months of September through November 2022 for which we were not able to substantiate the allowability of the payroll charges. Response to finding: This was an unusual and isolated incident. Management is working to ensure the appropriate procedures are in place to address this type of transaction in the future to comply with all internal controls. Corrective Action: Management will review current procedures and update to ensure compliance with our internal controls.

Auditor Description of Criteria, Condition and Effect. The Uniform Guidance requires the Organization to establish internal controls over disbursements and journal entries related to the compliance requirements applicable to allowable costs/cost provisions. The Organization's policies require an independent review of expenditures and journal entries. Evidence of an independent review was not documented for 1 out of 40 disbursements and all 7 journal entries selected for testing. As a result of this condition, the Organization is exposed to increased risk that program funds could be used for unallowable purposes. Auditor Recommendation. We recommend the Organization follow its internal control policies and procedures that require independent review of all disbursement transactions and journal entries. Corrective Action. As of January 1, 2024, Goodwill of Northern Michigan switched accounting software to NetSuite, in which a reviewer is required to review and approve before any journal entry can be posted. A user cannot pass their own journal entry, a reviewer is required to post to the general ledger. Grant related expenses are approved prior to being assembled in the grant packages. All expenses are approved in SAP Concur by the department manager. Some of these expenses are pre-approved before the expense occurs. Additionally, the grant manager reviews the grant packages to be submitted and the corresponding amount to be invoiced. Approval of the grant package is communicated via email. This email will be included in the grant folder. Responsible Person. Annie Kerr, Controller. Anticipated Completion Date. January 1, 2024.

Finding ref number: 2023-001 Finding caption: The District did not have adequate internal controls for ensuring compliance with federal allowable activities and allowable costs requirements. Name, address, and telephone of District contact person: Cindy Feng, Controller 5150 220th Avenue S.E. Issaquah, WA 98029 (425)837-7139 Corrective action the auditee plans to take in response to the finding: The District used SCA funds to pay a vendor for locally produced dairy products for our schools that complied with the funding requirements. Invoices from the vendor show the total amount for each delivery but did not include item level details. With each delivery, a packing slip was provided to the Food Services Department staff members to confirm the receipt of approved items and reconcile for invoice approval. Once invoices were reconciled and properly approved with a signature indicating review, the District used the official invoice statement for payment processing and the delivery packing slip was no longer retained. To assist with the audit, the District provided auditors with the dairy vendor contract, vendor invoice statements, and an attestation letter from vendor stating the items purchased Issaquah School District 5150 220ᵗʰ Ave SE, Issaquah, WA 98029 phone: (425) 837-7000 https://www.isd411.org Page 64 Office of the Washington State Auditor sao.wa.gov conformed to the SCA item list. Unfortunately, these documents were deemed insufficient to allow SAO re-performing our internal controls to test its effectiveness. After SAO communicated the necessity for delivery packing slips in their testing, the District enhanced our current practice and began retaining all packing slips to support SAO’s internal control effectiveness review. We welcome any feedback to further strengthen our overall financial management practices moving forward. Anticipated date to complete the corrective action: June 2024

Finding 2023-001 – Allowable Activities and Costs of Provider Relief Fund Significant Deficiency in Internal Control over Compliance Program: COVID-19 Provider Relief Fund (PRF) and American Rescue Plan (ARP) Rural Distribution Federal Assistance Listing Number: 93.498 Federal Grantor: U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Pass-Through Entity: None Criteria: Per 2 CFR 200.430(i), personnel costs charged to federal grants are required to be supported by documentation including time records. Per 2 CFR 200.303, a non-federal entity must establish and maintain effective internal control over Federal awards that provides reasonable assurance that the non-Federal entity is managing the Federal award in compliance with Federal statutes, regulations, and terms and conditions of the Federal award. Condition: Our audit procedures over the calculation of COVID patient days used to allocate the payroll cost to the PRF/ARP federal program disclosed the amounts were not properly calculated. Cause: The Medical Center has controls in place to review the calculation; however, the control did not operate to identify an error in the calculation of COVID patient days. Effect: The error in the calculation resulted in underreporting payroll costs allowed to be charged to PRF/ARP in the amount of $566,272. Questioned Costs: None Perspective: The error in the calculation resulted in underreporting payroll costs allowed to be charged to PRF/ARP in the amount of $566,272. Repeat Finding: This is not a repeat finding. Recommendation: We recommend the Medical Center implement additional internal controls over compliance in order to properly identify any errors in calculation. Management’s Action Plan: The Medical Center will implement additional internal controls over compliance. Such controls will include verification of all calculations used by two parties, the Director of Finance and CFO as well as signoff on calculations.
