The Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and other COVID related supplies were not used within the period of performance outlined within the project worksheet.

The period of performance as specified within the project 10 application is July 2, 2022 to April 30, 2023 and $1,077,759 of costs were not used by April 30, 2023. The overstatement represents approximately 16% of the amounts reported in the project 10 application and 14% of the total FEMA obligations in FY 2024. The total federal expenditures for FEMA for FY 2024 were $7,795,530. Corrective Action Plan:
Management agrees that a thorough review of the claim was not completed prior to
submitting the Request for Reimbursement to the State of Michigan, thus causing a
control deficiency. In the future management will perform, document, and sign off on a thorough claim review to validate that all final adjustments have been submitted prior to submitting the Request for Reimbursement to the State. Individuals responsible for corrective action:
Brittany Kruse, Vice President Finance and Assistant Controller Cindy Brink, Director, System Accounting and Reporting. Timing of corrective action: September 1, 2025 and going forward.
