Based on FY2022 findings, Higher Horizons implemented internal control policies and procedures, effective May 1, 2023. The procedures address all the segregation of duties from journal entries to posting, reconciliation to reporting, and access to the accounting software. The implementation of the internal control policies and procedures were initiated in May and June of 2023 (the last two months of FY 2023). During FY2024, these procedures were enforced to mitigate risks due to lack of sound internal control. To further strengthen the internal control system, Higher Horizons changed the requisition and accounts payable paper-based to paperless (electronic) process effective July 1, 2023. The electronic requisition system (Microix) is integrated with the accounting software (Abila), which has noticeably enhanced the internal control system.The Microix electronic requisition system eliminates the need to monitor the flow of paper documents, eliminates the risk of losing documents, and disallows purchases without approval. Microix features also require allowability of requisitions to be determined, all changes & communications to be captured, eliminates re-keying the information into Abila, minimizes manual interventions in entering & posting transactions, and much more. Higher Horizons will continue assessing & monitoring the effectiveness of our internal control, review the outcomes, and as needed, will further strengthen the process. Higher Horizons will monitor individual access to general ledger, subsidiary ledger, assets of the organization, accounting software, and Paycom. Access control procedures will be developed and implemented before the end of May 2024. As indicated in FY2023 audit findings, one of the causes for inadequate segregation of duties is the small number of staff in the Finance Department. Higher Horizons will contract with a finance consultant to review the current finance department staffing structure. The consultant will provide feedback and recommendation for adequately staffing the finance department to ensure segregation of duties. The finance management staff will conduct a comprehensive study of accounting and financial tasks, policies and procedures, and standard operating procedures by contracting the financial consultant before the end of June 2024. The study will be presented to the Board for approval, and OFC and OHS for funding.

Finding 2023-004 Reporting Identification of the federal program: Federal Grantor: United States Department of Homeland Security Pass-Through Grantor: State of Missouri, State Emergency Management Agency Assistance Listing No.: 97.036, COVID-19 Disaster Grants – Public Assistance (Presidentially Declared Disasters) (“FEMA”) Pass-Through Award Numbers: Project# 699963 P/W# 624; Project# 185883 P/W# 529; and Project# 150136 P/W# 171 Condition: Timeliness and submission of the quarterly reports required by the State of Missouri could not be verified. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions: The state of Missouri requires all quarterly reports be mailed. While we did send in our quarterly reports to the state of Missouri as required, we do not have proof of submissions as we did not send by certified mail. All future quarterly reporting will be documented with an email to our State SEMA representative when we send out quarterly reports so there is documentation for our records. Responsible Party: Emily Bruening, Director – Finance Date of Completion: This will be implemented for our next round of quarterly reporting, due in April 2024.

Finding 2023-002 Reporting Information on the federal program: Federal Grantor: United States Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) Assistance Listing No.: 93.498, COVID-19 Provider Relief Fund and American Rescue Plan (ARP) Rural Distribution (“PRF”) Payment Received Period: 01/01/2020–12/31/2022 (Period 4) and 01/01/2020–06/30/2023 (Period 5) Condition: For one of the sampled PRF reports (Mercy Hospital South Period 5 PRF Report), the amount reported for net patient service revenue (NPSR) for calendar year 2023 quarter 2 (CY2023 Q2) was incorrect for one reporting tax identification number (TIN). Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions: One cost report adjustment for the current year was inaccurately labeled as a prior year adjustment. This was an isolated oversight by our revenue analysis team. We will perform additional review of cost report adjustments used for PRF funding to ensure the amounts reported are accurate and in compliance with the terms of the agreement.

Finding 2023-001 Activities Allowed or Unallowed Information on the federal program: Federal Grantor: United States Department of Health and Human Services, Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) Assistance Listing No.: 93.498, COVID-19 Provider Relief Fund and American Rescue Plan (ARP) Rural Distribution (“PRF”) Award Period of Performance: 01/01/2020–12/31/2022 (Period 4) and 01/01/2020–06/30/2023 (Period 5) Condition: Management performed a duplication of benefits analysis to ensure expenses to be used to substantiate PRF funding received were not reimbursed or obligated to be reimbursed by another source. The methodology included the development of estimated cost reimbursement rates by location that was applied to the PRF expenditures. During our allowable costs testing of expenditures, we noted errors in the duplication of benefits analysis and/or misapplication of the estimated cost reimbursement rates which resulted in a net overstatement of expenses totaling $2,078,408. In addition, we noted instances where employees’ hours reported on the timecards for substantiation of funding for the federal program were not consistently evidenced as reviewed and approved. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions: While we overstated the expenses submitted totaling $2.1 million, this was an oversight during our review process. There are additional expenditures available in excess of funding received; therefore, we believe we have incurred either lost revenues or expenditures in excess of funding received. We will perform additional review of expenditures including the duplication of benefits analysis and application of the cost reimbursement rates to ensure appropriate amounts are used for PRF funding and ensure compliance with the terms of the agreement. Mercy Health’s Finance team will continue to stress the importance of timecard approval to leadership. Responsible Party: Jill McCart, VP Accounting and Reporting Date of Completion: By 6/30/24
