U.S Department of Health and Human Services FALN: 93.926 Federal Award Identification Number: 5 H49MC00119-21-00 / 6 H49MC00119-20-01 2022-008: Procurement – Material Weakness Recommendation: We recommend the Organization strengthen its policies and procedures to ensure procurement is adequately documented so that goods and services are purchased in accordance with Uniform Guidance and other federal guidelines. Grantee Response and Corrective Action Plan 2022-008: We acknowledge the gap identified between our policy framework and its execution, particularly in the area of maintaining supporting documentation. The Center for Black Women’s Wellness has approved policies that are designed to meet the requirements of the Uniform Guidance; however, we recognize that in practice, implementation has been inconsistent. Notably, of the sixty transactions reviewed, eight were found lacking in supporting documentation. To address this issue, we have already taken corrective measures by reinforcing our procedures and ensuring that appropriate staff are aware of these requirements. In 2024, we strengthened our oversight by engaging a Contractual CFO who will be instrumental in implementing these enhanced controls. This effort is part of our ongoing commitment to ensure full compliance and transparency in our procurement processes, thereby aligning our practices more closely with our established policies. Responsible Parties: Jemea Dorsey, CEO Date Corrected: April 30, 2024

Grantee Response and Corrective Action Plan 2022-007: We concur with this finding and have implemented measures to mitigate the repetition or additional occurrences. Previously draw down documentation was uploaded to a shared folder, in which the CEO and Fiscal Manager had access. In 2023, we implemented additional procedures to document review of drawdowns and supporting documentation. Additionally, documentation includes attaining the CEO signature on draw down documentation before the draw down is made. Responsible Parties: Jemea Dorsey, CEO Date Corrected: April 30, 2024

Grantee Response and Corrective Action Plan 2022-006: The Center for Black Women's Wellness has proactively updated our credit card policy in 2022.

These initiatives are part of our commitment to maintaining rigorous financial integrity and ensuring that all transactions are transparent and compliant with regulatory requirements. Additionally, we have resolved past documentation issues, such as those arising from the abrupt departure of an employee, by implementing robust procedures to avoid similar incidents in the future.

Significant Deficiency in Internal Control over Compliance and Compliance Recommendation: CLA recommends that The Organization move away from using a cumulative profit and loss report and instead run monthly general ledger details by program as support for their monthly reimbursement requests. This will enhance clarity of costs attributable to each monthly period and reduces the chance that costs will be missed when requesting for reimbursement. Any reconciling transactions can be clearly tracked an Excel file of the general ledger detail by program. In addition, CLA recommends that The Organization emphasize to program management staff the importance of filing reimbursement requests each month and in a timely manner to reduce administrative and financial burden. There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: The organization has modified our approach to making monthly reimbursement requests by including monthly general ledger details by program to ensure we have appropriate support and to increase clarity of costs attributable by month. Since fall/winter 2023, we have increased training to financial and program management staff around the importance of filing reimbursement request in a timely manner and we intend to increase the size of the financial support staff to further help minimize timely delays in reimbursement requests.

Significant Deficiency in Internal Control over Compliance and Compliance Recommendation: CLA recommends that additional emphasis of documentary evidence of approvals be made, and such evidence should be obtained and retained by The Organization as proof of oversight of expenditure of federal funds. CLA would recommend the use of an AP voucher, or similar, for each type of disbursement that leaves the Organization (check, EFT, credit card, etc.) to improve documentary evidence that costs are being reviewed and approved for appropriateness. There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: Since Fall/Winter 2023, we have increased the emphasis and training for all staff on documenting evidence of approvals, including obtaining and retaining necessary documentation and proof of expenditure oversight for federal funds to ensure there is adequate evidence that costs are being reviewed and approved for appropriateness.
