During the testing of compliance for Federal Assistance Listing No. 93.498, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Direct Program: COVID-19 Provider Relief Fund and the American Rescue Plan (ARP) Rural Distribution, it was determined the Organization had incorrectly re-reported $778,860 in Per...
During the testing of compliance for Federal Assistance Listing No. 93.498, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Direct Program: COVID-19 Provider Relief Fund and the American Rescue Plan (ARP) Rural Distribution, it was determined the Organization had incorrectly re-reported $778,860 in Period 1 expenses in the Period 3 submission, which resulted in overstating expenses claimed against PRF funds of $778,860. In addition, the Organization incorrectly double counted $81,350 in Contract Labor in the Period 3 submission. This resulted in a total $860,210 of COVID-19 expenses that were charged and reported which were duplicative and/or unsupported. Corrective Action Plan: Management continues to improve our understanding of the nuances within the guidance as it relates to charging and reporting direct expenses. Additionally, the Organization continues to implement additional controls over future reporting periods to help ensure guidance is followed, which is being achieved through educational sessions and additional layers of review over future reporting periods to help ensure guidance is properly followed. It should be noted that while the expenses were erroneously double counted, the Organization had sufficient unused Lost Revenues to cover the use of these funds. Personnel Responsible for Corrective Action: Mike Marshall, Chief Financial Officer. Anticipated Completion Date: Change is in process and full adoption is anticipated by September 30, 2023.

Finding No. 2022-001 Criteria: 2 CFR 200.303(a) establishes that the auditee must establish and maintain effective internal control over the federal award that provides assurance that the entity is managing the federal award in compliance with federal statutes, regulations, and conditions of the federal award. Condition: The Agency selected option I to calculate lost revenue, which consists of a comparison of actual results during the period of availability to the base calendar year of 2019. For all periods reported in the Agency?s Period 2 submission, the reported patient service revenue amounts were not reduced by bad debts, as required by the terms and conditions of the federal award. Planned Corrective Action: Management will continue to refine processes to more diligently review the lost revenue calculation to ensure such amounts are in accordance with the terms and conditions of the federal award. However, the Agency incurred and reported eligible expenses and lost revenue that had the errors in the lost revenue calculation been identified and corrected prior to reporting, the Agency would have satisfactorily incurred eligible expenses and lost revenue in excess of the PRF funds received, including interest earned on such funds.

U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT SIGNIFICANT DEFICIENCY 2022-003: Continuum of Care Program CFDA 14.267 Grant period: Year Ended June 30, 2022 Condition and Context: The Organization does not have a written procurement policy to properly implement all the requirements of 2 CFR Section 200.318 through 200.326 of Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance). Criteria: In accordance with 2 CFR Section 200.319(c), non-federal entities must have written procedures for procurement transactions. Such policy should incorporate all requirements within 2 CFR 200.318 through 200.326 of the Uniform Guidance.

Without clear written policies and procedures, there is a higher risk of noncompliance with program compliance requirements. Recommendation: Management should continue to develop comprehensive written policies and procedures to administer all federal programs. Current written policies should be evaluated for inclusion of and compliance with the Uniform Guidance requirements. Grantee Response: Management agrees with the finding and will adopt written policies to comply with Uniform Guidance requirements.
