The College recognizes the importance of improving internal control policies and the importance to strengthen controls and procedures to ensure compliance with federal regulations. The College will continue to provide training on the monitoring, reporting and compliance of grant funded awards.

Specifically, the program director position had multiple turnovers from 2019 to August 2023, when the current director assumed this role. Since August 2023, the new program director has initiated the integration of training sessions, instructional guides, and additional resources, alongside policy enhancements, to ensure that every WIC participant requiring a nutritional education care plan has it meticulously documented. Presently, we conduct daily audits of charts/files to mitigate instances of incomplete nutritional education care plans on a daily basis. We are presently investigating alternative opportunities to enhance our existing documentation of nutrition care plans, with a focus on improved identification based on appointment types to make up for some shortcomings in the system software used for WIC.

Recommendation: We recommend the Authority implement a formalized closing process at least on an annual basis for all financial statement areas. The close process should include an in-depth analysis of all significant accounts, including recording all prior-year audit entries. All significant accounts should have supporting schedules that are prepared and reviewed by separate individuals within the Authority to ensure proper segregation of duties. Furthermore, supporting schedules should agree to the corresponding general ledger accounts. Implementation of these recommendations will improve financial reporting processes and internal controls of the Authority and result in a financial close with minimal proposed adjusting entries.

Management acknowledges the findings and has implemented a corrective action plan to develop Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for current Grant management activities in order to assure that only expenditures incurred in each approved Project Worksheet (PW) that are not subsequently disallowed by the Federal Agency are included in the SEFA. In addition, the SEFA was amended to reflect PW expenditure in the accrual basis of accounting. Effective June 1, 2021, the Authority transitioned the management and operation of its transmission and distribution network as well as certain back- office functions, including billing, collections and accounting, to a third party. The third-party operator is reviewing operating procedures and controls within its responsibilities to make the necessary improvements. Management will work to address these findings with the assistance of the third-party operators, where applicable. Also, effective July 1, 2023, the Authority transitioned the management and operation of its generation assets as well as certain back- office functions to a third party. The thirdparty operator is reviewing operating procedures and controls within its responsibilities to make the necessary improvements. In addition, the Authority will also be implementing and monitoring corrective actions taken by the new generation segment operator.
