FINDING # 2022-009No finding in prior yearThe Department of Community Affairs (DCA) has internal controls and procedures in place to ensure that required subawards are reported timely to FSRS in accordance with FFATA reporting requirements. The Homeowner Assistance Fund award received by DCA was unique in that it was planned and fully reallocated via Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) agreement to a DCA affiliate organization to administer on the State?s behalf. As a result, the DCA did not initially believe this single reallocation transaction was subject to FFATA reporting requirements. The Accountability Officer at the affiliate organization will be involved should another program and contractual arrangement of this type occur and will ensure that the FSRS reporting is done timely. No further subaward transactions are expected to be processed by DCA as the full allocation was disbursed to our affiliate organization upon receipt of the award and execution of the MOU.COMPLETION DATE/CONTACT PERSON Fiscal Years 2023-2024John Alexy(609) 913.4385John.Alexy@dca.nj.gov

2022-027. Working Capital Reserves in Excess of Federal GuidelinesState Agency: Department of Government OperationsFederal Program: VariousDivision of Purchasing and General ServicesCooperative Contract Management ? Public entities in Utah rely on the Division of Purchasing and General Services (State Purchasing) to maintain the cooperative contract program to help with public procurement in Utah. The usage of state cooperative contracts by public entities increased dramatically this past year resulting in a corresponding increase in the collection of administrative fees. State Purchasing still continues to decrease the administrative fees on state cooperative contracts as each contract expires and is rebid. This is a slow process since State Purchasing has nearly 1,200 cooperative contracts that expire only every five years. Although State Purchasing is allowed under law to collect up to a 1.0% administrative fee on each cooperative contract, currently the average administrative fee is 0.38%. State Purchasing has also requested the Utah Legislature to appropriate out a portion of the excess reserves in this fund in fiscal year 2023. The calculation for the refund of the federal portion of this transfer out will be submitted to Cost Allocation Services for review and approval when this transfer is complete.Federal and State Surplus Property - Due to the completion of the new Utah State Prison, Surplus Property anticipates relocating by the end of calendar year 2023. At that time, Federal and State Surplus will need to use their working capital reserve funds for the costs of moving to and furnishing their new location. These additional expenses should eliminate these excess reserves by December 2023.Contact Person: Windy Aphayrath (waphayrath@utah.gov), Division Director, Division of Purchasing & General ServicesAnticipated Correction Date: December 30, 2023Purchasing Cards ? The Division of Finance (State Finance) is in the process of implementing a new travel and expense reporting system for all State agencies to simplify travel approvals, travel reimbursements, and reduce the administrative burden for the purchasing card (p-card) expense reports on State agency personnel. To cover system implementation costs, State Finance elected not to distribute the rebates received from U.S. Bank related to State agency p-card spending for calendar years 2021 and 2022. Rebates were still passed through to participating entities external to the primary government. The anticipated completion date for the system is the end of calendar year 2023. State Finance will review annually the costs of the system, develop a cost allocation strategy between the Travel and P-Card programs, adjust travel rates to cover the travel program?s ongoing costs, and distribute any remaining p-card rebates to State agencies respective to their spend. This effort will reduce and/or eliminate excess federal reserves by the end of fiscal year 2024.Contact Person: Allyson Branch (abranch@utah.gov), Manager of Accounting Operations, State Division of FinanceAnticipated Correction Date: June 30, 2024Division of Risk ManagementWorkers? Compensation Fund & Property? We requested approval in the current legislative session to transfer $2,000,000 out of the Workers Compensation Fund and into the Property Fund. We will submit the calculation for the refund of the federal portion of this transfer to Cost Allocation Services for their review and approval when this transfer is completed. Additionally, in FY 2023, the premiums charged for workers compensation have been reduced 26% from $0.61 per $100 to $0.45 per $100. The property commercial insurance market and the Property Fund are experiencing enormous year-over-year premium increases. We have seen a doubling of premiums in the last five years, from $14,000,000 to $28,000,000. Additionally, the budget process requires that we project funding 1-2 years in advance before we can enact rate increases to pay the excess insurance premiums that are due each fiscal year. As such, we deem it important to maintain a retained earnings balance in the Property Fund to be able to sustain the Fund's ability to pay for increasing premiums.Contact Person: Rachel Terry (rachelgterry@utah.gov), Division Director, Division of Risk ManagementAnticipated Correction Date: June 30, 2023Division of Technology ServicesPrint Services ? DTS currently projects Print Services retained earnings will decrease by $181 thousand in fiscal year 2023. The Print Services rate was set lower than the cost to provide this service in fiscal year 2024. DTS plans to annually review and adjust rates and issue mid-year rebates, if necessary, to bring DTS Print Services into compliance with federal excess reserve guidelines by the end of fiscal year 2024.Communication Services - The fiscal year 2024 rate was set to under recover the cost of providing this service by an additional $425 thousand. Because the reductions to retained earnings were smaller than expected in fiscal year 2022 and are projected to be smaller than expected in fiscal year 2023, DTS will need an additional year to address this excess. DTS plans to annually review and adjust rates and issue mid-year rebates, if necessary, to bring DTS Communication Services into compliance with federal excess reserve guidelines by the end of fiscal year 2025.Network Services - DTS anticipates significant expenses to this product in fiscal year 2023 as DTS upgrades the aging network infrastructure and as the demand for network services continues to increase (e.g. Agencies are asking for increased bandwidth). Upgrades to the infrastructure have been more complex than originally estimated, which has delayed the majority of this expense to fiscal year 2023. DTS projects the Network Services retained earnings will decrease by nearly $1 million in fiscal year 2023. DTS plans to annually review and adjust rates and issue mid-year rebates, if necessary, to bring DTS Network Services into compliance with federal excess reserve guidelines by the end of fiscal year 2023.Mainframe Services - This product will be coming to an end by fiscal year 2024. As the product ends, DTS will issue a rebate to reduce retained earnings to the agencies using the system. DTS plans to issue a credit in fiscal year 2023 which will bring Mainframe Services into compliance.Contact Person: Dan Frei (dfrei@utah.gov), Finance Director, Division of Technology ServicesAnticipated Correction Date: June 30, 2025Division of Human Resource ManagementHuman Resources Core Services - The Division of Human Resource Management (DHRM) projects DHRM Core Services expenses to increase in fiscal year 2023 and future years. The DHRM Core Services excess reserves was the result of an error correction. In an effort to decrease these excess reserves, DHRM has not requested a rate increase for DHRM Core Services, though we do anticipate costs to increase. We will continue to annually review and adjust the DHRM Core Services rate and, if necessary, issue refunds or rebates to ensure DHRM Core Services is in compliance with federal excess reserve guidelines by the end of fiscal year 2024.Contact Person: Jake Hennessy (jakehennessy@utah.gov), Finance Director, Department of Government OperationsAnticipated Correction Date: June 30, 2024

Personnel Responsible for Correction Action: Martin J. Nevshemal, Vice President, CFO, and TreasurerAnticipated Completion Date: N/ACorrective Action Plan: Due to the classified nature of these contracts, no corrective action can take place because of the restrictions enforced by the sponsor?s security requirements. While examination of financial mechanics related to these contracts could be performed, there is no ability, due to the classified nature of the work, for the auditors to examine the terms of the contract, specification of deliverables, required reports and equipment, explicitly unallowable costs, or other special contract limits.In the Report on Compliance for the Major Federal Program and Report on Internal Control Over Compliance, the Independent Auditor?s Report notes that MRIGlobal complied, in all material respects, with the types of compliance requirements described in the OMB Compliance Supplement that could have a direct and material effect on its major federal program for the year ended September 30, 2022, for the non-classified contracts that were subject to audit. MRIGlobal applies the same level of internal controls and discipline over compliance for its classified contracts as it does for all other contracts and is confident that the compliance noted in the audit of the non-classified contracts extends to the classified contracts. It should also be noted that the classified contracts are subject to audit by the sponsor.

Dear Mr. Waguespack,The Louisiana Department of Health (LDH) acknowledges receipt of correspondence from the Louisiana Legislative Auditor dated January 10, 2023, regarding a reportable audit finding related to Inadequate Controls over Drug Rebate Collections. LDH appreciates the opportunity to provide this response to your office's findings.Finding: Inadequate Controls over Drug Rebate Collections.Recommendation: LDH should ensure that agency personnel are adequately monitoring contract provisions for the drug rebate program and follow-up procedures are performed for all drug rebate invoices that have not been fully collected or disputed in a timely manner.LDH Response: LDH does not concur with this finding and recommendation.LLA issued a finding April 14, 2022 regarding partially paid invoices. LDH responded to the finding on April 22, 2022 regarding 2021 procedures. LLA immediately audited SFY 2022 after the SFY 2021 finding. As a result, there was not enough time to build out the CAP before the end of the SFY22, June 30, 2022.Based on the finding and response in late April, it was determined Magellan Medicaid Administration would email labelers at the 45-day late letter mark. The 45-day mark for the May 2022 invoicing cycle was on July 11, 2022. The 45-day mark before that would have been April 11, 2022, before the finding.In the brief interim before the end of SFY 2022, measures were taken by LDH and Magellan (end of April, May & June) to begin setting up the mechanisms to address collections on partial payment accounts. First quarter partial payment accounts were addressed with the 45-day Dunning Notices, July 11, 2022 and are currently being monitored. Magellan has been manually sending Dunning Notices to all manufacturers that made partial payments. This procedural change is to help increase collection rates.Corrective Action Plan and progress addressing the findings are listed below:1) Magellan regularly provides LDH with an Aged Receivables and Disputes Dashboard. This visual spreadsheet shows open balance data for federal and supplemental rebate programs, along with original invoice information, collection rates, and open disputes over the past 4 quarters (starting the week of April 24, 2022). LDH holds weekly meetings with Magellan to review the data and recommend changes. The dashboard is updated quarterly.2) Magellan has built a team to work on rebate related manufacturer operations focused on accounts receivables and disputes.? Magellan has built a manufacturer-focused team.? Magellan has addressed partial payments by sending Dunning Notices to manufacturers.3) Magellan will begin emailing all labelers with outstanding balances. An email template is being created and will be provided to LDH during the week of April 24, 2022 for approval.? LDH approved an-email template. However, after additional consideration it was determined this was not needed.? Upon further review and discussion by LDH and Magellan it was determined that Magellan would not email all Labelers with outstanding balances over 150 days. The "late" letters Magellan sends to manufacturers at 45-day, 75-day, and 90-day marks were sufficient. The letters serve as a 60-day letter, per ODR statute. The 45-day and the 75- day letters can suffice as the reminder letter to be sent to the debtor to pay the debt within 60 days before transfer to ODR.4) Magellan will change its automated Dunning Notices process to include labelers that made partial payments. This procedural change will continue to help increase the collection rate.? Magellan began emailing all labelers with partial payments. Magellan sent the first email on 7/11/22 to all labelers that made partial payments to the 1Q22 invoices? The automated Dunning Notices process will be changed to include labelers that made partial payments as part of the RxLink implementation, which is planned to go live in February 2023.? In the interim, the updated process for late letters that includes partial payments has been:1. Dunning #IA sent through an automated process to labelers that made no payments- 45 days after original postmark2. Dunning #1B manually emailed to labelers that made partial payments and for which the total outstanding balance is greater than $25 - 45 days after original postmark.3. Dunning #2A sent through an automated process to labelers that made no payments - 75 days after original postmark4. Dunning #2B manually emailed to labelers that made partial payments and for which the total outstanding balance is greater than $25 - 75 days after original postmark5. Next Quarterly Invoice plus Prior Period Statement- includes total balance due for prior periods6. Dunning #3A sent through an automated process to labelers that made no payments - 90 days after original postmark7. Dunning #3B manually emailed to labelers that made partial payments and for which the total outstanding balance is greater than $25 - 90 days after original postmark8. Dunning #4 sent through an automated process to labelers that made no payments - 210 days after original postmarkEffective 02/2023, all dunning letters will be sent through an automated process to labelers that made no payments and to labelers that made partial payments. This will be part of RxLink Implementation.In regards to additional procedures for collection of partial payments, Magellan previously invoiced quarterly and included invoices for past quarters not fully paid in the subsequent quarter. In addition, after 210 days of not receiving payment in full, Magellan's Rebate team reviewed outstanding balances and reached out to manufacturers.You may contact Tara A.
