Internal Control over Financial Reporting, Health Resources and Services Administration, Native Hawaiian Health Care 93.932  Internal control over payroll and disbursements As of January 18, 2023, corrective action has been taken as follows. When pay rates are changed, the Operations Manager/HR Coordinator will submit a personnel action form to indicate changes made to the employee’s rate of pay, status, or position change. The Executive Director will review and approve any changes. The form will be uploaded to the employee file and ProService will make the necessary changes to the employee’s record. Employees and managers have been informed to approve their timesheets in a timely manner as of May 2024. Previously, staff was unaware of internal control procedures for payroll processing. Corrective action on all disbursements has been taken as of August 1, 2023. All disbursements require a purchase requisition or payment request to be approved by the Executive Director. Either of the forms are completed by the program manager, and submitted for approval before the purchase or reimbursement is made. Internal control over accounts payable, accounts receivable, and cash Due to the lack of financial oversight, staff were unaware of how to reconcile the subledgers. Corrective action has been taken as of January 2023 to review all balance sheet accounts and verify balances on each subledger. All bank reconciliations have been completed as of May 31, 2024.

Explanation and Corrective Action Taken: The audit for the Year Ended June 30, 2021 was completed in June 2023 which has caused a rippling effect for subsequent audits to be late. The Fiscal Officer that was responsible for the June 30, 2021 audit did not prepare or provide the necessary financial information to the Auditors. That Fiscal Officer resigned in March 2022 and the position remained vacant until August 1st, 2022. In August 2022, the preceding Fiscal Officer was rehired. During their prior employment from February 2013 until March 2021 there were no audit findings. In addition to the Fiscal Officer position being vacant for five months, there was a new fiscal coordinator position created and the fiscal assistant position had gone through 3 staff members in less than three years. There are no staff at Human Response Network with accounting experience except for the Fiscal Officer and fiscal department of three. The rehired Fiscal Officer determined that many balance sheet accounts were not reconciled monthly. It was discovered that closing entries had not been done and the financial statements provided to the auditors were inaccurate. The accounts not reconciled included the following accounts: • Cash • Contracts Receivable to the General Ledger • Prepaid Expenses to Accrue Expenses • Depreciation / Property & Equipment Schedule • Accounts Payable Aging to the General Ledger • Deferred Revenue to the General Ledger The Fiscal Officer performed a thorough review of the allocation methodology, journal entries, and other accounting transactions to ensure that the transactions were recorded properly and pooled expenses were correctly allocated. There were a number of transactions that were not coded correctly. Pooled expenses were allocated correctly. The trial balance discrepancies from Fiscal Year 2021/22 were researched and reconciled and all the balance sheet accounts were reconciled. Transactions were re-coded to their correct account. The Fiscal Officer continues training staff on the proper procedures and use of the financial software. An audit engagement letter for 2021/22 was executed on September 15, 2023. The majority of information was provided to the Auditors between November 2023 and early February 2024. Scheduling conflicts prevented continued work on the audit until late-May 2024. Human Response Network agrees that monthly reconciliations of all general ledger and balance sheet accounts should be performed timely and accurately. As of August 2022, Human Response Network staff began reconciling accounts and projects on a regular basis as a part of the monthly closing process. Staff continue to receive ongoing training and mentoring by the experienced staff members.

In 2022 two grant awards from private foundations were incorrectly classified as “without donor restrictions” in the accounting system. Our Financial Policies and Procedures specify in Part I, Section 6 that MIWSAC will recognize contributions based on any donor imposed purpose or time restrictions identified in the award notice or grant document. Further, our Financial Policies and Procedures specify in Part IV, Section 1 the following procedures be applied for all gifts, contributions and grants: 1. Finance Manager and AIOA Controller will review award documents, grant documents or other correspondence received from donor/funder to determine the type of donor restriction(s). 2. Finance Manager and Executive Director will establish any required tracking of donor restricted revenues and how/when restrictions will be satisfied and released. 3. The AIOA Controller will add new donor restricted revenues to the Net Assets workpaper and subtract donor restricted funds that have been released from restriction. 4. The Finance Manager or AIOA Controller will prepare a journal entry as part of the month-end procedures to reclass any new donor restricted revenue from Unrestricted Net Assets to Net Assets with Donor Restriction and to record satisfaction of restrictions by reclassing from Net Assets with Donor Restriction to Unrestricted Net Assets. In the case of the two grants identified by the auditors as mis-classified, the policies were followed but the conclusions reached were incorrect. In one case the error was a clear oversight of the AIOA Controller. In the second case, the language the donor used in the grant document for a general operations award was ambiguous and open to more than one interpretation. Our AIOA Controller determined the award to have no restrictions but in a discussion with auditors we have agreed the “2 year” language in the grant document, though not clearly defined, would necessitate placing a time restriction on 50% of the award. The corrections were made as part of the audit engagement by the AIOA Controller posting a reclassing entry to revenue and net assets with donor restrictions. This audit adjustment was reviewed and agreed upon by management. Further corrective action will be for the AIOA Controller to consult with and collaborate with the AIOA CFO on the determination of the revenue treatment of grants and contributions received from private foundations to ascertain the existence of conditions and/or donor imposed restrictions. This corrective action has been implemented as of 8/25/2023.

The two expenditures initiated by the Executive Director that did not have the required approval of the Keeper of Finances was an oversight and not in line with the Financial Policies and Procedures. We have determined an update is necessary to the procedures in the Financial Policies and Procedures manual to address the use of MIWSAC credit/debit cards for expenditures. Further, we will request the Circle Keepers to adopt these changes to the Financial Policies and Procedures at their next scheduled meeting. And, we will advise staff of the expense approval oversights revealed by the audit along with the updated procedures added to the Financial Policies and Procedures manual. This communication will be provided in writing as a memo to all staff.

Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions:We agree with the auditor?s recommendation. It should be noted Italian Home for Children (IHC) has the recommended internal controls in place and are functioning well. However, with the impact of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) as well as turnover in the IHC?s Finance team, official sign off was not always being done. IHC?s Accounts Payable team will obtain approvals of individual invoices either physically or electronically from the appropriate individuals. Approved invoices will be forwarded to a different individual on the Finance team to review and authorize payment. The check/ACH remitted for payment will be signed by someone other than the individual who authorized payment of the invoices. In addition, IHC will ensure there is either electronic or paper audit trail of reviews and approvals. This will ensure all expenditures are appropriately reviewed and approved prior to payment. Finally, all items referred to in the finding were for allowable costs and no items of noncompliance were identified.

Finding Reference Number: 2020-01 ? Material Weakness in Internal Control Over Financial ReportingDescription of Finding:The Town should have internal controls over financial reporting that provides reasonable assurance that the accounting records can be relied upon and used to prepare the basic financial statements and related notes in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Having effective internal controls and procedures over financial reporting will ensure that the financial information is being accurately presented and allow the governing body to make sound financial decisions on a timely basis.There were multiple rounds of revisions to the trial balances before a final trial balance was able to be provided. Significant effort was expended identifying required information and corresponding adjustments and reconciliations. The audit process was delayed while Town personnel and audit staff worked towards a complete set of financial statements. Material journal entries were required to ensure the financial statements were properly stated in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.Some of the deficiencies in the Town?s internal control over financial reporting processes are described below:o The interfund balances between the General Fund and the other funds were not reconciled on a timely basis.o The Town and the Board of Education do not currently have formalized accounting policies and procedures manuals detailing the daily, monthly, quarterly, and year-end closing procedures.Statement of Concurrence or Nonconcurrence:The Town and Board of Education agrees with this finding.Corrective Action:The Town agrees with the finding regarding internal control over financial reporting. The Town has a new Finance Director and Treasurer and has engaged additional accounting assistance to develop policies and procedures and ensure that controls are in place to ensure that the financial records are reported accurately and timely.Name of Contact Person:Cynthia Varricchio, MBA, Director of Finance and School Business Operations, (860) 889-6098, varricchioc@prestonschools.orgProjected Completion Date: June 30, 2023
