Corrective Action Plan: Anticipated Completion Date January 15, 2025 Prior to Mono County Office of Education (MCOE) taking over this program in 2022-23, another agency was responsible for the original eligibility determinations and special tests and provisions. MCOE investigated further, and it was noted that the staff at the time were not following the procedures and forms that were in place. Items were either not completed or filled out correctly in many instances. When the audit finding was identified in the 2022-23 audit, MCOE took action to immediately implement new procedures to address the items noted. Although a few items were noted during the 2023-24 audit, MCOE has made significant efforts in putting procedures in place, and will continue efforts to ensure all required documentation is complete. MCOE has developed a corrective action plan as follows to adhere to strong internal control in meeting the program’s requirements: • MCOE will ensure that existing and new staff are trained to adhere to the policies and procedures for the program. • MCOE will be conducting annual reviews of all service providers and children served to ensure MCOE is maintaining the required documents on file. • MCOE has developed a double-check procedure to ensure that staff is keeping the required documentation on file for both providers and children served moving forward.

Finding: 2024-001 Name of contact person: Corrective Action: Proposed Completion Date: Finding: 2024-002 Name of contact person: Corrective Action: Proposed Completion Date: Tracy Clayton, Interim Chief Financial Officer The prior period adjustment (PPA) errors were primarily due to oversight and misclassification in the application of accounting standards. Specifically, the following factors contributed to these adjustments: Unrecorded Liabilities: The omission of salaries payable in the General Fund and Person Industries was due to a reconciliation error of accrued expenses at year-end, which led to unrecorded liabilities as of June 30, 2023. Misclassification of Capital Project Expenses: In the Stormwater Fund and Governmental Activities, some project-related expenses were misclassified as expenses instead of being capitalized as Construction in Process. This misclassification occurred due to an unclear review of project expenditures and the criteria for capitalization, which led to discrepancies in how capital assets were presented. Lessor Agreement Adjustments: The failure to initially record certain lease receivables and deferred inflows under GASB 87 in prior years was due to a misunderstanding in implementing new accounting standards. To prevent future occurrences, we will strengthen internal controls, revise reporting procedures, and enhance staff training. Imminently. Corrective Action Plan For the Year Ended June 30, 2024 Section II - Financial Statement Findings Brittany Majors (Medicaid Manager) and Diane Oakley (Medicaid Supervisor) We have been conducting regular income training since March 2023. We have had a great deal of turn over within our staff. Therefore we have conducted regular income trainings ever since. We now have a Staff Development team in place for one on one trainings, and group trainings as well. We also on 09/01/2024 implemented new documentation outlines, coversheets, and checklist to assist our staff with ensuring they verify and address all things needed to properly evaluate a case. We have increased the number of second party case reviews that we do each month to try and catch error trends so that they maybe addressed quickly. Staff development positions began for F & C Unit in May 2024, and for Adult Medicaid in June 2024 SSI case reassignments were restructured May 2024. Staff trainings for Second Party errors are now completed on a monthly basis. If one person seems to be struggling one on one trainings are scheduled as well. All new forms and outlines began 09/01/2024.
