The Department concurs with paragraph A that some of the cash draws were not performed in a timely manner. The finding was due to a shortage of trained personnel. The Department is in the process of hiring and training additional personnel and reviewing its policy and procedures on cash draws. The Department concurs with paragraph B. The Department can show that the subrecipients disburse payments for program advances within a few weeks from original receipt starting with the first check runs to fuel vendors shortly after receiving the advance. However, the Department will work on reviewing its policies and procedures to ensure the Department monitors the subrecipients’ written procedures to minimize the time elapsing between the transfer of funds and disbursement by the subrecipient. The Department is also creating a tracking method to show the time elapsed when an advance is originally paid to the subrecipient and when it is fully disbursed.

In order to meet the segregation of duties, the Department will explore the need to create a position to ensure requisite segregation of duties requirements. With regard to the segregation of duties, the SF-270 is required form that DMAVS submits to the National Guard Appendix Program Manager for reimbursement with all back up documentation. The National Guard Appendix Program Manager, National Guard Grants Officer Representative, and National Guard United States Property Fiscal Officer (USPFO)/controller located in Concord, NH review, sign and submit the form to the Department of Defense on behalf of DMAVS to request the cash draw. Prior to the submission of reimbursement of any funds, each billing and invoice is reviewed, entered into a ledger and reconciled by three members of the accounting team. Once reconciled, the SF-270 is prepared and signed by the Financial Administrator. The SF-270 is then submitted to the appendix program manager for concurrence and then to the federal fiscal agent (USPFO) for approval. No funds are drawn down until approved by the USPFO. If this is not a satisfactory level of review, the department will request a new position to ensure that there the business function has the proper level of staffing to meet the requirements for segregation of duties.

For clarity the Department will create a redundant manual ledger that duplicates the functions of the current ledger and Detailed Transaction Register (DTR). DMAVS has existing policies and procedures in place to track all federal funds, state funds and mixed funds, and uses spreadsheets for all transactions that reconciles every month to NH First Detail Transaction Register (DTR), Federal Fund tracking sheet, and Federal reimbursement tracking sheet with backup documents. The tracking sheet for the federal register is not intended to account for the state share of billing. The state share is accurately accounted for in the DTR, the cumulative accounting in the SF-270 and associated back up documentation. Supporting documentation to substantiate the accuracy of lines a, c, e, and f is in the DTR, the cumulative accounting of each SF-270, the supporting documentation sent with the billing to the Federal Government, and Year-end Agency Report for Federal Awards. This includes reconciliation and analysis of SADB expenditures and revenues to the Statement of Appropriations by each Program Accounting Unit. The SF-270 form is continuous cumulative data that starts Oct 1st and runs through the end of that Federal Fiscal Year. The SF-270 is the required federal form DMAVS submits to the Federal National Guard Appendix Program Manager for reimbursement. Back up documentation is submitted with the SF-270. The National Guard Appendix Program Manager, National Guard Grants Officer Representative, and National Guard United States Property Fiscal Officer (USPFO)/controller located in Concord, NH review, sign and submit the form to the Department of Defense to affect the cash draw. DMAVS does not unilaterally make cash draws to the federal government. The USPFO, who is substantially involved provides an independent review and reconciles any discrepancies prior to approving any requests for reimbursement. One possible explanation for the finding is that the selected test works were not continuous.

Condition: Guthrie County Hospital (the Hospital) reported expenses in the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) special report for Period 4 that were not reduced by reimbursement from other sources or that other sources were obligated to reimburse. Additionally, the Hospital did not report its excess expenses as unreimbursed expenses attributable to Coronavirus in the HHS special report, did not report total interest earned on the ARP Rural Payments and Period 4 General Distribution Payments, and reported gross revenues/net charges from patient care by quarter for 2021 when net revenues should have been reported. In addition, there was no evidence retained that the HHS special report was reviewed by an individual separate from the preparer prior to submission. Planned Corrective Action: Management will implement an internal control policy for federal awards compliance to more diligently review the reporting of expenses and revenues to ensure all reporting requirements are met. However, had the errors in reporting of expenses and lost revenues been identified and corrected prior to reporting, the Hospital would have demonstrated that they had incurred eligible expenses and lost revenue in excess of the Period 4 funds received, including interest on such funds.

As mentioned previously, there was a staffing change with a grant billed which helped make YSS aware of an internal control breakdown in the billing process. Along with the issue where revenue was posted but invoices were not sent, it was also found that many workpapers that should have been in place to support the invoices were disorganized, lacked an audit trail, or in some cases did exist aside from a handful of brief notes, especially in cases where grants were drawn in 1/12th increments. While many worksheets were created or greatly enhanced already, the grant billers are currently engaging in a new process to begin cost tracking for the grants which have allowed 1/12th without consistently asking for such supporting workpapers.

Finding number: 2023-002 Federal agency: U.S. Department of Education Programs: Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund Assistance Listing #: 84.425F, 84.425L Award year: 2023 Corrective Action Plan: We agree with this audit finding. As stated in our response to the prior year audit’s finding, we did not realize that under the HEERF III Issued Guidelines/(FAQs) that as a grantee we were under an obligation to minimize the time between drawing down funds from G5 and paying obligations incurred by the college/grantee. We had thought that the related guidelines were similar to CARES/HEERF I and we wanted to ensure that we had drawn down the funds timely once they were awarded to the college. We have since coordinated with the Office of Postsecondary Education, United States Department of Education to reimburse them for interest income earned on unspent funds and returned the remaining/unused funds for the HEERF III Institutional Aid portion and the Minority Serving Institutional Funds portion. The College spent $41,007 of the remaining HEERF III Institutional Aid funds during the 90-day HEERF liquidation period after discussion with the United States Department of Education and returned the remaining amount of $70,031 in February 2024. The College returned the HEERF III Minority Serving Institutional Funds remaining amount of $144,014 in February 2024. The interest the College earned and returned to the United States Department of Education on the unspent funds amounted to $125,324, which was paid in two installments in July 2023 and February 2024. Timeline for Implementation of Corrective Action Plan: The corrective action plan has been implemented as of January 8, 2024.
