Condition Upon review of the indirect cost calculations throughout the fiscal year, it was noted that there was no documentation of review and approval of three of the seven calculations tested. The auditors were able to review the drawdown reconciliations performed by the Caminar Latino and determine the reports were materially accurate; however, no evidence of a formal supervisory review and approval of the reconciliation was maintained on-file in these three instances. Correction action As of Q4 2022, the Atlanta-based Co-CEO and the Chief of Programs and Administration have instituted a process of review and approval of drawdown reconciliations prior to drawdown to review for accuracy of calculations and to ensure that previous drawdown amounts are accurately recorded. A Finance Manager was hired in April 2023, and the responsibility of ongoing drawdown reconciliation and calculation of invoice amounts has shifted to the Finance Manager position. Monthly invoices and drawdowns are being reviewed and approved by the Co-CEO and Chief of Programs and Administration prior to drawdown. Responsible Person Co-CEO and Chief of Programs and Administration Anticipated completion date Completed - This process is currently in place.

Finding 2022-002: Cash Management / Matching / Interest Earned Contact Person: Michael R. Baker, Director of Fiscal Affairs Recommendation: The County should establish a separate fund to account for the activity of the Children and Youth program. Response: The County agrees with the finding and has created a new fund – Fund 07 – in the County’s accounting software and has begun creating corresponding revenue and expense accounts to match the existing structure within the new fund. The County also opened a separate checking account at The Juniata Valley Bank for the Children and Youth Fund for all revenue and expenses beginning January 1, 2024. The County continues to engage an external third-party contractor provider familiar with Children and Youth Agency financial matters to assist in the transition, as well as with recent turnover in the financial positions within the Children and Youth Department. The County also made the affirmative decision to capitalize that fund with the prior year’s County-match at the start of the calendar year and continue to fund, as needed, throughout the year to insure the necessary County match is attained. The Children and Youth Agency will continue to insure compatibility and proper recording in MUNIS, the County accounting system, of all financial transactions to match with the internal accounting system maintained by the Children and Youth Agency. Action Planned: Post-audit submission, the County Director of Fiscal Affairs will meet and discuss with the engaged external service provider and the Children and Youth Finance Director and overall Child and Youth Agency Director to formulate the proper procedure for establishment of a separate fund balance as of January 1, 2024, and monitor proper posting of financial transactions in the appropriate fund to match all transactions posted in the internal accounting system maintained by the Children and Youth Agency. Date for Completion: January 1, 2024

Following the Period 1 submission, the Organization identified that the patient revenue figures used in the lost revenue calculation did not reconcile to the audited financial statements. The lost revenue model was subsequently re performed using audited patient revenue data, and the corrected calculation was incorporated into the Period 4 PRF submission. To prevent recurrence, the Organization has strengthened its internal review protocols for reporting, including mandatory reconciliation of all revenue inputs to audited financial statements and secondary review by the Regional Controller prior to submission. These enhanced controls ensure that future lost revenue calculations are accurate, supportable, and compliant with HRSA reporting requirements.

Capital expenditures charged to the PRF program were allowable; however, at June 30, 2021, HHS had not yet issued clear technical guidance indicating that capital costs must be fully completed or received within the Period of Availability, therefore causing the expenditures to be out of period. Definitive guidance clarifying this requirement was not released until August 2021, after the close of the reporting period. As a result, the Organization applied the best available interpretation at the time of close. To prevent similar issues, the Organization will incorporate ongoing monitoring of updated directives, strengthen pre submission technical reviews, and consult with external advisors to validate compliance with period of availability rules prior to future filings.

Corrective Action Plan for Finding 2021-003 We are in receipt of the finding required to be reported by Uniform Guidance, regarding other instance of noncompliance with respect to Reporting and Activities Allowed or Unallowed and Allowable Costs/Cost Principles Reporting. Management agrees with the finding. Policies and procedures over federal grant reporting will be modified to ensure reports are prepared using complete and accurate information. We will increase compensating controls for introducing additional oversight and review for future federal funding reporting. Lewis Robbins, CFO, will be responsible to ensure this is accomplished. The District had enough lost revenues related to Period 1, as reported in the Period 4 reporting submission, that the error determined in Finding 2021-003 will not result in a conflict with funding received. The Corrective Action Plan will be implemented by September 30, 2025.
