A large part of the delay was that we had a major transition in personnel at the end of the fiscal year in question and the office manager/bookkeeper who left did not adequately train the new person, Amanda Westcott. At the same time, the previous accounting system was overly complicated with too many categories, making the transition more difficult. Accordingly, we implemented a new accounting system, which went live in July 2023 for the FY2024 audit. We anticipate this will assist with timeliness and transparency of documents as the current office manager becomes increasingly familiar with the new system. We will move to implement monthly reconciliations as soon as the 2023 audit is finalized. We plan to have HRAF's Treasurer and an accountant review these and if needed we will take additional corrective action.

It is numbered consistently with the number assigned in the schedule. Federal Award Finding and Questioned Costs Name of Contact Person: Jennifer Cathy, Executive Director Anticipated Completion Date: December 31, 2024 2023-001 – Significant Deficiency Corrective Action Plan: Condition: The rents charged to beneficiaries, who receive rent assistance through the program, must be reasonable in relation to rents being charged for comparable units. The Organization is required to establish the reasonableness of the rents charged by the property owner for comparable unassisted units. Out of 40 program beneficiaries selected for testing, The Organization had a documented rent reasonableness assessment for only 13 of the selections. Recommendation: Management should implement a system and internal control process to ensure the proper reasonableness assessment is being made for each program beneficiary. Current Status: Policies and procedures have been established to properly meet the recommendation. During 2023, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development had performed their own audit of the program and identified this same matter to management. After management was informed of this deficiency, they took direct action during 2023 to implement procedures to prevent this issue in the future. If the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development has questions regarding this plan, please call Ms. Jennifer Cathy at (585) 355-7842.

Response: NEFHS transitioned to a different third -party payroll provider as of January 2023. Many of the findings identified stemmed from a sample period that occurred two months into the transition period of payroll providers. The updates and adjustment made by NEFHS had very little time to materialize, however, we have incorporated hard stops within the process to prompt for required approvals of timecards by supervisors before payroll can be processed in full.

Cornerstones acknowledges that our files were incomplete. It is our position that the COVID-19 pandemic created immense need to which Cornerstones responded by expanding rapidly and mobilizing funding and program requests that did not receive the benefit of comprehensive planning; the focus was on health prevention, isolation and quarantine activities, and temporary shelter for homeless and other low-income, vulnerable seniors and disabled persons. We served those in need and our intake processes and recordkeeping processes did not keep pace. Additionally, given the time that has passed since the services in question, it is possible that records that did exist were misplaced. Staff turnover, resulting from the pandemic burden, made it challenging to go back to the work that had been done. Due to the timing of receiving this finding we were not able to make necessary adjustments to FY23 practices, but Cornerstones has since further emphasized the compliance and documentation needs of the case management process, and we have filled turned-over positions with experienced staff that also understand intake and documentation requirements. We have also hired a Senior Director, Finance with over 20 years of federal contracts experience that is an integral part of increased program compliance and operational oversight responsibilities within the Finance/Operations function. This Senior Director and Cornerstones’ Chief Financial & Operating Officer, Executive Vice President of Housing and Community Programs, and other program leaders and staff, will all work together to ensure that the file construction process is complete and timely for all participants. Due to timing of receiving this finding, remediation processes began in fiscal year 2024 and will be applied fully to the fiscal year 2025, beginning 7/1/2024, files.

CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN 2023-001 Item 2023-001 Significant Deficiency in Internal Control over Compliance Program Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Fund, Assistance Listing 21.027 Compliance Requirement Reporting Criteria The U.S. Department of Treasury SLFRF Compliance and Reporting Guidance requires the County prepare quarterly submissions of the Project and Expenditure Report. The 2023 Compliance Supplement identifies multiple Key Line Items in the report, including cumulative expenditures and current period expenditures. Internal control should be established and maintained to provide reasonable assurance that these requirements are complied with by submitting the reports accurately. Condition For the fiscal year under audit, the Project and Expenditure Report reported cumulative expenditures as program income, and the total obligation was reported as cumulative expenditures before the amounts had actually been spent. This was noted on the first two quarterly reports, but the last two quarterly reports were corrected. Cause The County followed a process for reviewing the reports and understanding program requirements; however, the new and emerging nature of the program and related guidance limited the internal knowledge necessary to identify the errors. Effect Required reports submitted to the Federal Agency contained inaccuracies to identified key elements. Recommendation We recommend that the County expand its review process for key reports to consider if new or emerging funding merits additional staff training or the engagement of outside assistance. PERSON RESPONSIBLE FOR CORRECTION ACTION: Becky Haynes, County Auditor CORRECTIVE ACTION PLANNED: We agree with the finding and have initiated discussions to provide training and implement procedures to ensure compliance. We have made these changes during the fiscal year, where the last two quarterly reports were properly stated . ANTICIPATED COMPLETION DATE: September 30, 2023. See prior year finding 2022-001.
