View of Responsible Officials: A former Board member with finance and operations experience has been tasked with reviewing financial policies and procedures to ensure compliance in all areas. Policies and procedures will be updated with new processes. To date there have been two changes implemented. Finance staff must now attach electronic copies of invoices within the accounting system to corresponding transactions in order to process payment. In addition, a report of credit card charges missing required documentation is circulated to management monthly, with follow-up to the individual purchasers. Training for all members of the department will occur on an ongoing and regular basis to ensure best practices are being upheld. Policies and procedures and/or the Financial Procedures Handbook will also be updated to reflect the changes.

As of 2023 we will be adding the following policy to the fiscal manual and to the operations manual to read as follows: All monthly program reports shall be completed by the coordinator and sent to the Deputy Director for approval, once approved they will be sent to the Fiscal Coordinator. The Fiscal Coordinator will then complete the billing amount and fiscal narrative then the report will be reviewed by the Deputy Director. Once approved the report will be presented to the Executive Director for final review, approval and signature and date placed on each report before it is sent to the funder. All program coordinators will complete a JFT outcomes report that is placed in an electronic reporting system and these reports will be reviewed quarterly by the Deputy Director. The Deputy Director does data analysis and these reports are placed in narrative form by the Deputy Director quarterly and the year-end report. These are shared with the funders according to the reporting requirements in the grant. All reports must be to funders by the 15th of the following month, unless otherwise stated in funder contract. The following policy will also be added to the fiscal manual: All budget modifications will be written up on the budget modification form and sent to the funder electronically once approved the form will be notated and include the funders signature, written on the form verbal communication from the funder, or a copy of the email with funder approval.

In 2022 and 2023 we have developed a system that better separated and tracked expenditures by grant. We have made the following adjustments already: 1. We have purchased software and a device to read and store receipts into the computer system. We have purchased and are using QuickBooks. All expenditures and incoming funds will be placed into the QuickBooks system. Any expenditure is then filed by grant, by month with a copy of the invoice, bill, etc. documentation as well as the receipt that corresponds. All files will be kept in a locked cabinet in the fiscal office. At the end of each year all past year records will be stored and kept for 7 years. 2. We have hired a person to do data entry and bookkeeping part time. 3. We have devoted our Administrative Coordinator to take responsibility for HR and fiscal matters to serve as a check and balance system as well as to take the larger load from the Fiscal Coordinator since we have grown. 4. The final thing JFT has done is to hire an accounting firm called Gift CPAs to come in as a final check and balance. Gift CPAs has been able to give our agency training on fiscal matters that were not clear, they have been able to expand our knowledge and use of the QuickBooks System and helped us set up proper checks and balances to better ensure that everything that is charged to each grant is well documented.

JFT does have all the board minutes on file. However, because we were a small agency, salary rates were not often changed. Additionally, all salary rates and changes were always driven by the ability to obtain the funding needed. Since we were small and there was not always a lot to discuss with the board our board only met twice a year. Therefore, all salary was discussed with the board president, then taken to the board. Unfortunately, there is no formal documentation at this time. As of 2023 our board now meets quarterly. Therefore, the following policy will be included in the fiscal manual: the JFT board of directors will hold a public meeting quarterly. All matters of pay rates and salaries will be approved at the start of each grant cycle. State and county grants will be discussed prior to the July 1 start dates, all federal grants will be discussed prior to October 1. Any changes in salary must be approved by the board and documented in official board minutes. All board minutes will be placed in a locked file in the Fiscal Coordinator’s office.
Starting in 2023 all employees of the Organization will complete formal time sheets. These sheets will be signed by the Administrative Coordinator and by the Fiscal Coordinator and then entered into the system each pay period to rectify this finding.

We are in receipt of the findings required to be reported by the single audit for COVID19 Claims Reimbursement for the Uninsured Program and the COVID19 Coverage Assistance Fund specifically, regarding discrepancies in funding received under a different employer identifier number. Management does not dispute the finding. The District is in it’s second year after going through an asset purchase transaction, whereby the physical assets were retained by the District, but the operations of the hospital were sold. As the District moves forward, we will work to develop policies and procedures over financial reporting to ensure they only request reimbursement for federal grants for programs with the correct employer identification number. Lynn Lindsey, Chief Financial Officer, will be responsible to ensure that this is accomplished and will begin to implement new procedures. The corrective action plan will be implemented by September 30, 2024.

Corrective Action Plan: The District has had turnover of personnel in the Business Office this past fiscal year. As the new Director of Business and Finance there will be procedures implemented to ensure that sufficient documentation for transactions for costs charged to federal programs is supported by documentation as required by the Uniform Guidance regulations. Additionally, there will be a review of current purchasing policies, to add or amend, which will further help support meeting the federal guidelines. Lastly, it should be noted that the Town/School financial system will be converting/upgrading to MUNIS ERP Solution for the Public Sector. This upgrade will be very instrumental in maintaining the necessary information to meet audit requirements.

Public Health agrees that Form CMS-1539 should be signed. We are exploring reasons why so many forms were not signed, and we will work with our District office management to ensure that they are all signed going forward. Further, we will address this issue at our next meeting of District Managers, District Administrators, and Health Facilities Evaluator Supervisors, and will work to update our training materials as necessary. Finally, we will also explore periodically pulling a sample of completed CMS-1539 forms to verify that signatures are present.

Public Health’s Office of Aids (OA) agrees with the finding and recommendation. OA developed and implemented additional internal quality assurance (QA) processes in April of 2022 to ensure that secondary reviews of AIDS Drug Assistance Program (ADAP) applications are consistently enforcing the existing guidelines, including acceptable supporting documentation and accurate eligibility requirements. Prior to this audit period, and through December 2021, ADAP had issued multiple policy memos to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic, which enabled staff and enrollment workers to defer documentation collection, when necessary, to remain flexible and ensure clients impacted by the pandemic, and associated site closures, did not lose eligibility and access to life-saving medications and comprehensive healthcare. These flexibilities in our guidelines were implemented based on guidance received from our federal funder, the Health Resources and Services Administration, which encouraged ADAP to reassess its organization's eligibility and recertification policies and procedures, and remove any barriers that may impede social distancing, or other public health strategies, necessary to minimize COVID-19 transmission. This documentation deferral was terminated on December 31, 2021, and since January 1, 2022, full documentation and eligibility requirements have been enforced. This, combined with ongoing QA efforts, will help mitigate future findings in ADAP applications. Estimated Implementation Date: Implemented as of April 2022 Contact: Joseph Lagrama, Branch Chief AIDS Drug Assistance Program Branch California Department of Public Health

The Behavioral Health Administrative support team will endeavor to ensure that timesheets are collected and submitted appropriately. As the payroll system (SCO) and leave accounting (HRIS) are two completely separate programs that do not interact, the Behavioral Health (BH) Administrative Support Team will maintain a master file detailing the funding information for each position. For example, if a position is funded by two different grants, the file would reflect the percentage of work associated with each. It must be noted that as employee leave is tracked and maintained in a separate system, the Absence and Additional Time Worked Reports (STD 634) only reflect hours worked and leave used and does not reflect how a position is funded. Additionally, staff who are in Work Week Group E and are exempt from coverage under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) are not required to document hours worked for payroll purposes. Therefore, this form would only reflect leave credits used in whole-day increments. This means that on their timesheets, you will only find time used to cover full-day leave usage. These are generally our Supervisors and Managers. Estimated Implementation Date: July 2024 Contact: Raberta Gannon, Chief Behavioral Health Administrative Support Services Section Deputy Diretor’s Office, Behavioral Health California Department of Health Care Services
