Finding 2022-004 Federal Agency Name: Department of Health and Human Services Program Name: COVID-19 Provider Relief Fund and American Rescue Plan Applicable Federal Award Number and Year ? Period 2 TIN #420953968 Federal Financial Assistance Listing #93.498 Compliance Requirement: Reporting Finding Summary: The Organization selected option ii to calculate lost revenue, which consists of a comparison of actual results during the period of availability to the approved budget. The Organization did not have a budget for the entire reporting period that was approved prior to March 27, 2020. For the periods that the Organization did not have an approved budget, the Organization calculated lost revenues using a budget approved by their board after March 27, 2020. The Organization also did not adjust patient revenue for certain adjusting entries identified as part of the financial statement audit, which should have been included to calculate net patient revenue. In addition, the Organization, did not back out lost revenues that had been claimed by other funds. When the Organization tried to reopen their report during the single audit, the Organization was informed that amendments were not allowed. Finally, the Organization?s lost revenue claimed under the program as an allowable cost was not fully reviewed and approved by a separate individual outside of the preparer. Responsible Individuals: Mario Van Dijk, CFO Corrective Action Plan: Our budget for FY 2020 was approved prior to the March 2020 deadline identified. We therefore used Method 2 since the budget had been approved. However, we should?ve used Method 3 which would?ve allowed FY 2021 and later to compare actual to budget. We contacted HRSA during our single audit to try and have our reporting reopened so that we could amend the reporting, however that request was denied. If we had been able to reopen our report, we also would have adjusted lost revenue for adjusting entries identified as part of the financial statement audit and other sources that used lost revenue. However, the total lost revenue used to claim PRF would not have changed as we had significant excess lost revenue, so net effect in changes would be none.

Finding #2022-001 ? Material Weakness Condition and context: In June of 2022, the Partnership was awarded a grant from the City of Houston to provide construction funding for an affordable housing project. The City of Houston participated in the closing for the affordable housing project on December 22, 2022, which included approving the grant payment for acquisition costs of $2,250,000. At the time of the commencement of the contract period, procedures were not in place to identify allowable acquisition costs. While allowable costs were subsequently identified for the contract period that met the definition of allowable acquisition costs under the Uniform Guidance, the Partnership nor its co-developer, who is responsible for the accounting for the development of the affordable housing, had put in place internal controls related to the submission and approval of the costs being reimbursed under the grant. Recommendation: The Partnership in coordination with the project co-developer should develop procedures for approving and identifying allowable costs. Planned corrective action: Management has adopted policies and procedures for the approval and review of all draws on the grant and the supporting documentation for allowable expenditures. Responsible officer: Michele Marvin, Vice President of Finance and Administration Estimated completion date: September 1, 2023

2022-008 ? Cash Management (Significant Deficiency) Governor?s Office care of State Department of Budget and Finance AL Number: 21.026 Program Title: Homeowner Assistance Fund Direct Award from: U.S. Department of Treasury Condition Per 31 CFR Part 205, the State must minimize the time between the drawdown of Federal funds from the Federal government and subsequent disbursement for Federal program purposes. The auditing firm haphazardly tested 3 expenditures of the 7 transactions that occurred in fiscal year 2022 and found that the time between drawdown and disbursement of Federal funds by the State was not minimized. Current Status of Corrective Action Plan Concur. The U.S. Treasury wired Homeowner Assistance Funds (HAF) as a lump sum payment thus B&F did not have to submit a drawdown request to obtain the funds. Since B&F did not have control over the timing of the receipt of the funds, it is unclear how B&F could have complied with the requirement of 31 CFR Part 205 to minimize the timing of the disbursement of the funds. B&F had consulted with the U.S. Treasury on how to best comply with this requirement but has not received a response thus far. Person Responsible Mark K.

Please allow this correspondence to serve as Cook County Health (CCH) and Cook County Department of Public Health (CCDPH) response to the audit findings. During the FY2022 Single Audit, six audit findings were identified by Washington, Pittman & McKeever, LLC. CCH and CCDPH will address the recommendations of the auditors by taking the following Corrective Action Plans (CAP) outlined below: Finding 2022-004: regarding not maintaining adequate controls over allowable costs as required by Federal regulations. Cause: The cause of this finding resulted from Program Leads and the Accounts Payable unit not following the established requirements for properly supporting invoices for services provided. The invoices that were attached in EBS Oracle were insufficient as required by the established County Policy. Correction Action: The CCH Director of Grants Accounting will be responsible for training the Program Leads and Account Payable (AP) unit to ensure proper supporting documents are attached to each invoice as required by the established County Policy. In the event the AP unit determines more supporting documentation is needed, then the Program Director/Lead will assist in obtaining proper supporting documents from partnered subrecipients and/or vendors. Supporting documents may include additional timesheets, payroll registers, T&E justification, etc. Issues will be flagged (based on assessed risk) by applying requirements identified in the CCH Subrecipient Monitoring Policy.

Finding #2022-005: regarding CCDPH not adequately complying with federal regulations over allowable costs. Cause: The cause of this finding resulted from not following the established controls that ensure proper support documentation is included with the journal entry chargeback entries prepared by Finance staff to justify the charges incurred to the Grant. Additionally, the Program Lead (key personnel) assigned to the program left the organization prior to the Grant ending which affected the periodic review for allowable costs/charges. Corrective Action: The CCH Director of Grant Accounting will reinforce current internal controls so that the reviewer/approver (staff who prepares the chargeback) includes proper supporting documents and attaches to the entries in the EBS Oracle System. Additionally, the CCH Director of Grant Accounting will continue to reinforce current CCH procedures and ensure Grant expenditures are periodically reviewed and checked for allowability and reasonableness (based on activities) by both the Finance and Programmatic areas. Anticipated completion of the corrective action will be December 31, 2023.

Findings 2022 ? 002 Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) Program, Federal Assistance Listing #14.231 Corrective Action Plan: Last year, the ESG program was monitored by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) local Office. This year, the ESG-Coronavirus (CV) program will be monitored by HUD. The local HUD office is currently working with DPD staff in various technical assistance workshop to prep for an upcoming session. These meetings have occurred since April 2023. At HUD?s request, DPD rewrote various policies and procedures. We are still awaiting HUD?s final approval on the recommended policies and procedures revisions. DPD will be using the revised policies and procedures to monitoring concerns going forward. ESG has a complicated billing structure which includes five (5) different spending areas from which a subrecipient can choose for payment. Unfortunately, the ESG and ESG-CV program includes one (1) dedicated staff person and support from the Deputy. This complicated billing structure forces DPD, to provide an extensive amount of technical assistance to various subrecipients due to incorrect invoice submissions. Many of the subrecipients are understaffed and lack the capacity to bill properly. On various occasions, DPD staff has spent a considerable amount of time assisting subrecipients with preparing request for reimbursements. The amount of technical assistance dedicated towards these efforts will be reduced as a result of ESG ending in December 2023 and a new grant cycle beginning in January 2024. ESG-CV will close permanently in September 2023. Recommendation/corrective action planning will be taken on future grant awards that may have similar compliance requirements. DPD plans to hire new staff to expedite the payment process as well as to provide technical assistance to our subrecipients. With ESG-CV ending in September 2023 and new staff on board, this should reduce the amount of time for processing payment to DPD subrecipients.

Criteria: Two expenses charged to the program were not properly supported in accordance with regulations. According to section 2 CFR 200.403, charges to Federal awards must be adequately documented.

Context and Cause: The Organization was unable to locate two receipts of 25 expenditures tested under AL #21.027.
