Heading Home management is in agreement with this finding. After years of turnover in key management positions steps have been taken to address staffing challenges and these positions have been successfully staffed with high-quality individuals who bring extensive knowledge and expertise to their roles. These positions include a new Chief Executive Officer, Director of Operations, Chief Financial Officer, and Director of Human Services. To address challenges in accounting and finance Heading Home had contracted with a local CPA firm specializing in nonprofit accounting and financial reporting to assist the CFO with daily accounting tasks, the monthly close, financial reporting to management and the board of directors, and to facilitate and ensure audits are completed timely each year. The new management group is committed to maintaining a skilled and competent team in key financial roles. Due to the backlog of billings at the opening of FY23, the billing submissions and quarterly reports for the first quarter were submitted late. With the new staff and assistance, these billings and quarterly reports were brought current as quickly as possible. They are now current and being submitted in a timely manner. Management’s corrective action plan was fully implemented by June 30, 2025, and anticipate that there will be no further issues. Personnel responsible for ensuring implementation include Connie Chavez, Executive Director, and Debbie Brickman, Chief Financial Officer.

Recommendation: We recommend that the Borough strengthen its internal controls over the authorization of ARPA-funded expenditures by ensuring that all individual disbursements are reviewed and approved by the Borough Council or other designated officials prior to payment. Alternatively, if the Borough intends to continue approving projects on an overall basis, it should establish and document clear procedures specifying when and how individual payments within approved projects are deemed authorized. Management's Response: Management agrees that additional clarification and documentation of the approval process for ARPA-funded disbursements will strengthen internal controls and ensure transparency in the use of Federal funds. The Borough will review its current approval procedures and implement guidance specifying how individual disbursements under previously approved ARP A projects are to be authorized and documented. Where appropriate, individual payments will be presented to the Borough Council for approval prior to processing.

2024-6 Segregation of Duties Recommendation: Ideally, the Borough would hire the number of staff necessary to segregate all duties. However, we realize segregation of duties is not practical, if not impossible. Because of this internal control situation, the responsibility of the Business Manager is greatly increased because the Board must rely on his knowledge of the everyday operations to discover any material changes in the Borough's financial position.Management's Response: The Borough recognizes that the limited number of staff adds to the risk associated with the daily operations. To mitigate this risk, the Assistant Borough Manager has to take an active role in the day-to-day operations of the Business Unit. She actively reviews all reconciliations and receipts to ensure they are posted to the accounting system properly. In addition, Borough Council approves all disbursements.
