The Organization secured Attain Partners, a professional services firm, to assist with grants management and reporting. Attain Partners reviewed the SEFA report, as well as the grantbudget, general ledger information, documentation, and drawdowns for the grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (CFDA 93.958) internally known as theSAMHSA R&R grant. They discovered that the budgets were submitted incorrectly, without requesting any indirect costs (IDC), which led to the grant being awarded without IDC. The FY23 draws totaled $2,094,362.95, while the FY23 expenditures recorded in the general ledger amounted to $1,754,696.48, excluding IDC, resulting in $339,667 in questioned costs. As the grant closed on 9/30/2023, the organization is unable to request reimbursement for the IDC. The Grants Management team will undertake a comprehensive revision of the existing policies and procedures and will develop new ones as needed. These policies and procedures will encompass the following processes to ensure proper levels of review and compliance with authorized drawdowns: • The Grants Management team will ensure grant budgets are submitted with the correct IDC and the award includes the IDC in the total amount. • The Grants Management team will ensure the IDC is calculated correctly and included in the drawdown amount. • The Grants Administrator and the Sr. Grants and Budget Analyst will reconcile the grant expenditures monthly to ensure the expenditures allocated to grants are documented, allowable and the drawdowns are equal to actual expenditures.

Planned Corrective Action: The Foundation followed the express instructions of the State of Alabama, Department of Finance (the “Grantor”) to The Alabama Nursing Home Association Education Foundation (the “Foundation”), which permitted the Foundation to rely upon the certifications of nursing home applicants that the applicant had or will have sufficient unmet needs related to qualifying purposes due to the COVID‐19 pandemic to support the receipt of the various allocations of the herein described COVID‐19 Funds. Under the terms of the certification, each applying nursing home further certified that for ten (10) years it would maintain auditable records supporting the unmet need and use of the COVID‐19 Funds. This manner of requiring only a certification for the distribution to health care providers is consistent with the requirements the federal government used when distributing an array of emergency funding (e.g., provider relief funds, rural funds, and infection control funds) to health care providers to meet the unmet needs caused by the COVID‐19 pandemic. The term “COVID‐19 Funds” means those funds the Foundation received from the Grantor with respect to (i) The CARES Act Corona Virus Relief Funds for the period from January 31, 2020, through December 31, 2021, and (ii) America Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds for unmet needs for qualifying purposes incurred or to be incurred during the period March 11, 2021, through December 31, 2024. To provide further assurance that the COVID‐19 Funds were properly applied by the nursing home beneficiaries receiving COVID‐19 Funds through the Foundation, the Foundation is working with its outside accountants and legal counsel to develop a look‐back review plan. The framework of the lookback review plan will be for each nursing home beneficiary that received COVID‐19 Funds to submit during the calendar year 2024, a worksheet similar to the period reporting worksheets that are required by the federal Health Resources & Services Administration (HRSA) to justify the COVID‐19 provider relief funds, rural funds, and infection control funds received by health care providers. In addition to these HRSA type worksheets, a more in‐depth examination of a sample of nursing homes will be made by randomly selecting 10 nursing homes from a pool of the 30 nursing homes that received the most COVID‐19 Funds through the Foundation, plus another 10 nursing homes from the remainder of the pool of beneficiary nursing homes. These randomly selected nursing homes will be required to supply actual documentation supporting the COVID‐19 Funds received. This documentation will include invoices, payroll records, revenue journals, and cost reports. Among the provisions of the certifications submitted by each applying nursing home, is an acknowledgement that (i) the nursing home is subject to audit by the applicable State and federal agencies, and the Foundation, (ii) any COVID‐19 Funds received through the Foundation and not properly applied must be refunded, and the nursing home will comply with the requirement that it must maintain for ten (10) years auditable records supporting its use of the COVID‐19 Funds it received through the Foundation. In the event that it is determined that one or more nursing homes were unable to properly apply the COVID‐19 Funds to an unmet need for a qualifying purpose, those COVID‐19 Funds will be recouped and either redistributed to any nursing homes that are able show an unmet need continues to exist using a distribution formula consistent with past distributions of refunded COVID‐19 Funds, or returned to the Grantor. This redistribution or return to the Grantor will occur no later than December 31, 2024. Person(s) Responsible: John Matson, Executive Director
