Condition: During our testing of special tests and provisions, we noted multiple payments to subrecipients that were not made within 30 days. Recommendation: A system needs to be put into place to track when payment requests are made to ensure payments to subrecipients can be made timely. Current Status: After completion of the prior year audit, Management developed a procedure and tracking system for the submission of payment requests from our subrecipients and reimbursement payments to the subrecipients to ensure payments are made within 30 days of the receipt of the request. This finding has been repeated as 2022-002. Due to the timing of the completion of the prior year audit, the findings identified in the current audit occurred before implementation of the prior year?s corrective action plans.

FINDING NO. 2022-002: Program Federal Assistance Listing Number and Title: 93.323 COVID-19 Epidemiology and Laboratory Capacity for Infectious Diseases (ELC) Award Number: 47746-2 Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Pass-Through Agency: Wisconsin Department of Human Services Criteria: The Uniform Guidance and State Single Audit Guidelines require that local entities receiving federal and state awards establish and maintain internal control designed to reasonably ensure compliance with laws, regulations, and program compliance requirements. The Uniform Guidance and State Single Audit Guidelines further require auditors to obtain an understanding of the local entity's internal control over federal and state programs. To minimize the risk of errors, internal controls should be in place for all program compliance requirements, including the preparation and submission of monthly reports, which should be reviewed and approved by a responsible party other than the original preparer. Condition: All three of the CARS reports tested were not reviewed by an independent person before submission for reimbursement. Both of the special quarterly reports tested were also not reviewed by an independent person as required by the state. The sample was not statistically valid sample Cause: The City did not have internal control procedures in place requiring an independent person to review the reports before submission and ensure the reports were accurately and timely submitted. Effect: Reports were not submitted and those that were submitted could contain errors. Questioned Costs: None noted. Recommendation: The City should review its internal control procedures to ensure there are proper review and approval processes over completeness and accuracy of reports are in place before submissions to state agencies are completed. Management's Response: An individual other than the preparer will review the grant reports prior to submittal. Person responsible for report ? Karen Skowronski, Treasurer/Comptroller, 414.768.8048

Subject: Hennepin County?s 2022 Corrective Action Plan Finding# 2022-004?Eligibility Program: Medical Assistance Program (ALN 93.778) Type of Finding: Material Weakness in Internal Control over Compliance; Other Matter Compliance Finding Condition: During our testing, we noted the following instances of noncompliance in the sample of 120 case files tested: ? One MAXIS case file had assets greater than their applicable household size asset limit. While beneficiaries may reduce their assets to continue to qualify, there was no documentation in the case notes showing the applicant reduced their assets subsequent to renewal in order to continue to qualify for benefits. ? One MAXIS case file had different bases of eligibility in MAXIS and MMIS where MAXIS indicated the beneficiary was ?EX? (age 65 or older) while MMIS indicated the beneficiary was ?DX? (disabled). ? One METS case file included documentation of verification of income that did not match the information entered into METS. ? One METS case file did not have a SSN entered at either the initial application date nor any of the subsequent renewal dates. No exemptions to the requirement to submit a SSN was noted in the case within METS. In addition, the County does not have effective internal controls over eligibility of the Medicaid program: ? The County does not have a formalized supervisory case file review process in place to ensure accuracy and completeness of inputs into the MAXIS and METS systems. ? We were not able to review and test the automated application controls and the related ITGCs within the MAXIS, METS and MMIS systems, all of which are state systems that are administered by the state and required to be used by the County, to determine whether the system controls are adequately designed and implemented and operating effectively for the determination of eligibility. Hennepin County?s Corrective Action Planned in Response to Finding: Program staff will design internal controls to ensure eligibility inputs are correctly entered, and information required by contract is retained. Hennepin County Employee Responsible for the CAP: Jackie Poidinger Planned Completion Date for CAP: December 31, 2023 Hennepin County will encourage the State to provide an independent audit of the design and implementation of MAXIS, METS, and MMIS system controls for the benefit of all counties.

Finding No. 2022-001: Special Tests and Provisions Federal Agency: Department of Housing and Urban Development Condition Per 2 CFR sections 578.51(g), where grants are used to pay rent for individual housing units, the recipient or subrecipient must determine whether the rent charges are reasonable in relation to rents being charged for comparable assisted units, taking into account the location, size, type, quality, amenities, facilities, and management and maintenance of each unit.

COVID-19 Provider Relief Fund ? AL No. 93.498 Recommendation: Our auditors recommended the Organization evaluate its financial reporting processes and controls to determine whether additional controls over the preparation of any Provider Relief Fund reports are needed to ensure the reports are prepared in line with the Provider Relief Fund guidelines. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Management?s response: The Organization missed reducing the costs claimed against PRF by the amounts reimbursed through the Medicare cost report. The Organization did have additional lost revenues though that would offset these costs claimed and wouldn?t result in a repayment of the funds. We would look to HRSA for guidance on how you would like us to update our Phase 1 PRF report or how you would like to see this corrected. Also, the CFO will listen to webinars to receive education for Phase IV funds that were received by the Organization to ensure compliance with the reporting requirements.

Finding 2022-002, Significant Deficiency over Activities Allowed and Unallowed and Allowable Costs/Cost Principles; Temporary Assistance for Needy Families Cluster (TANF), Assistance Listing Number 93.558, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, passed through the N.C Department of Health and Human Services (NCDHHS), Division of Social Services. John H. Chafee Foster Care Program for Successful Transition to Adulthood (Chafee Foster Care), Assistance Listing Number 93.674, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, passed through the N.C Department of Health and Human Services (NCDHHS), Division of Social Service. Recommendation: The County implements a review control over weekly timesheets to ensure the timesheets include all program time coded on the day sheets. Corrective Action Plan: Every effort is made to ensure that Daysheet entries match with time claimed, the different deadline submissions for each, sometimes mean that one must be approved before the other is entered in its entirety. In these instances, we may not have been able to compare the timesheet with the full scope of Daysheet entries prior to the timesheet submission being due. Employees track time by service code in 5-minute increments. The department section will review Daysheet entry timeline expectations with social workers and ensure entries are reviewed against timesheet entries before submitting for final approval; follow up with social workers regarding any discrepancies noted and closely monitor all future transactions. Proposed Completion Date: The Corrective Action will be immediately implemented in response to the auditors? recommendations. Contact Person: Patricia Pritchett, Department Budget Manager

Reporting 2022-002 Significant Deficiency in Internal Control over Compliance Condition/context: During the audit of the School's, we noted that the School is maintaining excess reserve levels without an appropriately approved spending plan in place Auditors? Recommendation: Management should perform quarterly reviews of their reserve levels and modify their expenditure patterns to ensure reserves are maintained within approved limits. The required approvals should be obtained from the funder to expend excess funds. Management?s Response: The Organization had earmarked the reserve funds for the purchase of additional kitchen equipment associated with its new high school. Due to permit delays the opening of the high school was delayed by a year. Management anticipates that the excess funds will be spent during fiscal year 2023 and the Organization will be within the 90-day reserve level.

Reporting 2022-001 Significant Deficiency in Internal Control over Compliance Condition/context: During our audit of the School's major programs, we detected certain deficiencies in internal control over compliance. The School submitted vouchers for September 2021 and October 2021 late. The submission exceeded the required 60 days following the last day of the month covered by the claim. The September 2021 voucher could not be accessed and verified by auditors. Auditors? Recommendation: Management should maintain a checklist of all specific due dates associated with Uniform Guidance (?UG?) compliance, including credential renewals, voucher submissions, UG report due date, and other reporting requirements. Management?s Response: Management is aware of the reporting deadlines associated with voucher claims. Unfortunately, a staff member left the Organization and failed to file the annual renewal report, which resulted in the Organization being locked out of the vouchering system. The Organization immediately filed to renew but due to the time it took for the renewal process the September and October vouchers were filed beyond the reporting deadline. This has been rectified and procedures have been implemented whereby the Organization CFO reviews the renewal application to ensure timely filing.

Federal Award Programs Audit Finding Material Weakness (2022-001) 93.498 COVID-19 Provider Relief Fund In December 2022, the System submitted all recorded expenses related to prevention, preparation, and response to COVID-19 for reimbursement to FEMA. These expenditures were recorded in our financial periods from March 2020 through June 2022. However, in April 2023, we withdrew our original application to FEMA upon the discovery that part of these expenditures were already submitted to HHS for PRF. Since the FEMA and PRF projects were led by two separate teams, we lacked both cross examinations and combined reviews which created a weak point in our internal control process. To correct this discrepancy, we have implemented controls to ensure expenditures are only applied once for all future projects. Effective in April, finance leadership will review and approve all project scoped and data selection processes before submission to eliminate duplication or errors.
