Finding: An excess cash balance tolerance is allowed if that balance is less than 1% of the institution's prior-year drawdowns and is eliminated witin the next seven calendar days (34 CFR 668.166(a) and (b)).

Finding: An excess cash balance tolerance is allowed if that balance is less than 1% of the institution's prior-year drawdowns and is eliminated witin the next seven calendar days (34 CFR 668.166(a) and (b)). The institution must return immediatley in its account within the seven-day tolerence period. There was one drawdown from the G5 during the year for federal direct loans in which the College was in an excess cash position starting on June 29, 2022, through September 20, 2022 and controls in place did not identify the excess cash. The maximum daily excess balance during this time period was $51,701. Corrective Action Taken. The return of excess cash took place on 9/30/2022. Because the excess cash was identified and returned in this award year and pertained to the previous award year it is identified as a repeat finding. Internal control to regularly monitor and reconcile to drawdowns to ensure applicable requirements are met have been implemented and managed by Associate Controller Megan Donovan.

Views of Responding Officials: The Department agrees with the finding and will implement corrective action. Corrective Action Taken or Planned: The Department’s Fiscal Management Office will update and change their procedure by using the entire prior year payroll allotment first, instead of reclassing expenditures to the current year. This will eliminate the excess cash that was sitting in the account. Expected Completion Date: June 2025 Responding Officials: Daisy L. Hartsfield, Social Services Division, Administrator; Carolina B. Anagaran, Social Services Division, Support Services Office, Administrator; Kisha C. Raby, Social Services Division, Child Welfare Services Program Development Office, Administrator; Rachel Thorburn, Child Welfare Services Program Development Office, Assistant Administrator; and Joey Wong, Fiscal Management Office Accountant

Ref. No. Compliance and Internal Control over Compliance Findings 2023-006 Allowable Costs – Significant Deficiency Recommendation We recommend the County follow their internal control process to ensure that adequate documentation supports the accumulation of costs charged to the Program as required by 2 CFR §200 Subpart E. View of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Action Management agrees with this finding. The Department of the Prosecuting Attorney’s office has reviewed and agreed a detailed line item report and Payment Request/Approval form did not accompany the respective RFF. The Department has already corrected these deficiencies to ensure each expense has an Expense Approval form with justification and that each RFF is accompanied with a detailed line item report and backup documentation for each expense being requested for reimbursement. Each payroll and non-payroll monthly invoices submitted clearly shows the breakdown. With each invoice submitted, it will state, as an example, “VOCA-SNAP 21-V2-01 Report & Attachments MM/YY”. A sample of this was submitted on March 25, 2024 with response. In short, the necessary back-up requested going forward is and will be available to submit for future audits or reviews.

Identifying Number: 2023-001 – Activities Allowed or Unallowed; Allowable Costs/Costs Principles Finding: The Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Section 200.403(g) states that for costs to be allowable under federal awards, they must be adequately documented and there must be sufficient documentation. Additionally, CFR Section 200.430 states that charges to federal awards for salaries and wages must be based on records that accurately reflect the work performed and are supported by a system of internal control which provides reasonable assurance that the charges are accurate and allowable. The Florida’s Division of Accounting and Auditing Reference Guide for State Expenditures states that supporting documentation shall be maintained in support of expenditure payment requests for cost reimbursement contracts including that approved timesheets support the hours worked on the project or activity must be kept. During our testing of payroll disbursements, we noted that seven of the 120 payroll expenditures selected for testing did not have a properly approved timecard for the pay period selected. Corrective Actions Taken or Planned: All of the timecards noted in the finding above have been reviewed for accuracy and retroactively approved by the Chief Talent Officer. The following corrective actions are in the process of being implemented: • CHS’s Payroll and Talent teams will conduct a review of timecards completed after July 1, 2023. The accuracy of any unapproved timecards identified will be verified and retroactively approved by the designated supervisor, or the Chief Talent Officer if the designated supervisor is no longer available. • After each payroll period, a list of unapproved timecards will be provided to the Talent Team so the respective Talent Business Partner may follow up with corrective action with those supervisors who have two or more repeat occurrences. Such corrective action will include: o A thorough review with the supervisor of the CHS policies and practices relative to supervisory duties regarding the management and approval of employee timecards. o Mandatory refresher education and training on the supervisory timecard review and approval process in the CHS HRIS, Paylocity. In addition, CHS is formally implementing a new HRIS, UKG PRO, in July 2024. This system has advanced notification and tracking features that will assist supervisors in proper management and approval of timecards. Person(s) Responsible for Corrective Actions: Barbara McDonald, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Administrative Officer and Heather Vogel, Chief Talent Officer Anticipated Completion Date for Corrective Actions: Implementation of the Corrective Actions outlined above will begin immediately to be completed by June 30, 2024.

Finding 2023-001 Activities Allowed or Unallowed Information on the federal program: Federal Grantor: United States Department of Health and Human Services, Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) Assistance Listing No.: 93.498, COVID-19 Provider Relief Fund and American Rescue Plan (ARP) Rural Distribution (“PRF”) Award Period of Performance: 01/01/2020–12/31/2022 (Period 4) and 01/01/2020–06/30/2023 (Period 5) Condition: Management performed a duplication of benefits analysis to ensure expenses to be used to substantiate PRF funding received were not reimbursed or obligated to be reimbursed by another source. The methodology included the development of estimated cost reimbursement rates by location that was applied to the PRF expenditures. During our allowable costs testing of expenditures, we noted errors in the duplication of benefits analysis and/or misapplication of the estimated cost reimbursement rates which resulted in a net overstatement of expenses totaling $2,078,408. In addition, we noted instances where employees’ hours reported on the timecards for substantiation of funding for the federal program were not consistently evidenced as reviewed and approved. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions: While we overstated the expenses submitted totaling $2.1 million, this was an oversight during our review process. There are additional expenditures available in excess of funding received; therefore, we believe we have incurred either lost revenues or expenditures in excess of funding received. We will perform additional review of expenditures including the duplication of benefits analysis and application of the cost reimbursement rates to ensure appropriate amounts are used for PRF funding and ensure compliance with the terms of the agreement. Mercy Health’s Finance team will continue to stress the importance of timecard approval to leadership. Responsible Party: Jill McCart, VP Accounting and Reporting Date of Completion: By 6/30/24
