Providence Corrective Action Plan Year ended December 31, 2022 Contact: Nate Johnson, Senior Manager Finance nathaniel.johnson@providence.org Finding 2022-001 Statement of Condition: During testwork over allowability, a sample of 60 payments was selected for testing. Within the sample, 1 selection was identified where the charges submitted for reimbursement to HRSA were unallowable. Further, as the charges submitted were not properly reviewed this is an instance of the Health System?s internal control not operating as designed. Corrective Action Plan: Management will prioritize strengthening our processes and controls before proceeding. Management will add a layer of review for all potential new claims. All accounts will be audited by management prior to submission to ensure compliance. Management will do a post submission audit to confirm billing compliance on paid claims. This will be implemented by December 31, 2023.

FINDINGS - FINANCIAL STATEMENT AUDIT FINDINGS SIGNIFICANT DEFICIENCY 20X2-001 Recommendation: AFFOA should develop and implement policies and controls for monitoring year end transactions as well as funding from the Federal and state governments to identify, document and track accurate expenditures for each year. Action Taken: We concur with the recommendation, particularly as it pertains to credit card transactions. During the current fiscal year, we have increased training and provide weekly reminders to all AFFOA employees that expense reports, including those related to credit card purchases, are to be submitted to Accounting in a timely manner (within 30 days of travel). In addition, we are reconciling the ?Clearing? account monthly. This account bridges the credit card payments and the employees? expense reports. With a monthly reconciliation of this account, we are better able to follow up with employees with overdue expense reports, and we will have a precise basis for any necessary accruals related to credit card purchases at year-end. If the Board has questions regarding this plan, please call Don Nadreau, CFO, at 603-702-3639. Sincerely yours, Don Nadreau, Chief Financial Officer

Finding No. 2022-002; Federal Assistance Listing Number 99.999 Statement of Condition: During the year ended December 31, 2022, the project paid expenses in the amount of $447 on behalf of an affiliate. The amount due to the project as of December 31, 2022 is $447 and is recorded as a receivable from affiliate at year ended December 31, 2022.

Finding 2022-003 ? Allowable Costs (Significant Deficiency and Non-compliance) Corrective Action: The ARPA?s stated purpose is for housing provision, stabilization services, and eviction prevention. The rental assistance funds may be used for arrearage, forward payments, deposits, late fees, and utilities. The grant provides separate application forms for rental assistance and utilities assistance. The grant does not require maximizing the amount paid on behalf of applicants. Every disbursement involves obtaining documents from the applicant and the landlord. The landlord signs an agreement stating they will allow the client to remain housed by accepting the payment. It is common to negotiate the agreed upon amount because some landlords include fees in their amounts that are not allowable under the grant or ask for more months of assistance that is allowed. The disbursements tested included agreements that were all signed and accepted by the landlords. LSA documented the costs which were reimbursed by the funder. One of the payments included a document that had not been updated. The payment included an additional month?s rent due to the time lag between the start of the application and the completed documents and the revised total amount was included on the signed landlord agreement. In this case, the agreement did not include an additional late fee that would have been expected per the terms of the lease. The landlord accepted the payment less the late fee. LSA staff will document negotiated amounts that are different from the support and provide explanation and the amount included or excluded. A second payment did not include a beginning ledger balance. The landlord charges an insurance fee that is not covered by the grant. Rather than attempting to determine if the balance forward was due to eligible charges or ineligible charges, the amount was excluded from the total. The documentation attached did not specifically mention that the amount was excluded, but a handwritten total of the included charges was included. LSA staff will document negotiated amounts that are different from the support and provide explanation and the amount included or excluded. The third payment was deemed an exception because the reimbursement did not include the client?s utilities charges. Although the charges are eligible under the grant, the applicant and landlord did not request assistance with utilities. LSA staff will document negotiated amounts that are different from the support and provide explanation and the amount included or excluded. Regarding employee time for the program, LSA staff will look for solutions to help prevent time entry errors, and the Finance Department will conduct a review of every grant report. LSA will review if changes can be made in the timekeeping system to restrict certain fund sources from being applied to programs, to enhance controls over time attributed to particular funding. The grant report review will also include a review of program reports when new staff join the program to ensure the time activity is correct and can be allocated as reported. LSA will complete a review of the timekeeping system and procedures by the end of the second quarter 2023 and implement changes by the third quarter of 2023. The grant report review will commence as of the date of this audit report. Contact Person: David Roberson, Director of Finance; (334) 223-0251; droberson@alsp.org

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. Anticipated Completion Date: September 28, 2023

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.

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. Anticipated completion of the corrective action will be December 31, 2023.

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.
