To Whom It May Concern: This letter includes the corrective action plan in response to the audit finding from the Single Audit for the 2020-2021 Award Year. Audit Finding: 2022-001: Under the Provider Relief Fund and American Rescue Plan (ARP) Rural Distribution Program, providers are required to submit reporting to the Health Resources Services Administration (HRSA).

We agree with the audit finding and action will be taken to improve this gap going forward by updating procedures for these kinds of requirements. Controls will be implemented whereby there will be a secondary reviewer along with the appropriate sign-off validating the data has been accurately reported to ensure we are in compliance. The contact person responsible for the corrective action plan is James Salerno. The corrective action plan has been implemented as of January 1, 2023. Please let me know if you have any additional questions.

2022-001 Grant Revenue Condition: Catholic Charities West Virginia erroneously applied conditional contribution guidance to certain grants which did not meet the criteria for conditional contributions.

Recommendation: We recommend that management review its policies and procedures surrounding grant revenue accounting to ensure recorded amounts are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: We have reviewed grant revenue guidance with staff and implemented procedures to ensure that contributions and grants are properly recognized as conditional or unconditional.

Finding 2022-004: Allowable Costs - Significant Deficiency in Internal Control over Allowable Costs/Cost principles Official's Response and Corrective Action Plan: Prior accounting staff was gone by December 2021. New financial staff was hired and in place in the 4th quarter of April 2022. We made changes in the accounting department during the past year to improve the overall functionality. Since we tripled our amount of grants, it was necessary to increase the accounting staff to maintain them, as well as increase overall efficiencies. We now have a staff of 4 accountants, as well as a new CFO with nonprofit/grant experience. The late filling of vacant positions delayed some of our internal processes during their training. We added monthly meetings with internal staff to make sure we have a good communication flow and appropriate documentation for new and existing grants which are monitored monthly Anticipated Completion Date: June 30, 2023
