Finding: The Department of Social and Health Services, Developmental Disabilities Administration, did not have adequate internal controls over and did not comply with requirements to ensure Medicaid payments to supported living providers were allowable and adequately supported. Questioned Costs: Assistance Listing # 93.775 93.777 93.777 COVID-19 93.778 93.778 COVID-19 Amount $237,404,150 Status: Corrective action not taken Corrective Action: The Department does not concur with the finding. The Department performed payment reconciliations, cost report reviews, and settlement assessments for all 140 cost reports received during the first half of fiscal year 2022 (July 1, 2021, through December 31, 2021). Of the cost reports received, 66 providers (47 percent) were subject to the Developmental Disabilities Administration (DDA) payroll verification review. The State Auditor?s Office (SAO) did not question any of the costs that were associated with the 66 providers. However, SAO is questioning all payments made to the 74 providers who did not receive a payroll verification review in the first half of the fiscal year. For the second half of the fiscal year (January 1, 2022, through June 30, 2022), even though the Department had the same internal controls in place, SAO asserted that every payment during this time frame was a questioned cost because the cost reports for calendar year 2022 had not yet been submitted for department review. The Department strongly disagrees that all these costs should be questioned. The Department reconciles payments on a calendar year basis, while SAO audits on a fiscal year basis and does not consider activities that fall outside of the audit period. The Developmental Disabilities Administration has numerous internal controls in place which provide sufficient assurance that the services paid for were provided. These include: ? Medicaid service verifications, ? Allowable costs payment reconciliations, ? Payroll verification processes, ? Review of rate payments and increases, ? Quality assurance reviews, ? Duplicate payment reports, ? Residential Care Services certification processes, ? Contract monitoring, ? Reconciliation processes for rates, cost reports, and settlements, ? Segregation of duties and other verification and approval processes. The Department strongly believes that its current oversight and monitoring procedures adequately confirm that services received by clients meet the certification standards for supported living providers. The Department continues its efforts to bring quality services to clients who receive habilitative residential support while following all program requirements, including reconciling the settlement amounts that were issued to providers in the cost report settlement process. Based on the information provided above, the Department maintains that the questioned costs for this audit finding are not substantiated. Unfortunately, SAO did not choose a more collaborative approach aimed at supporting the Department in its continuing quality improvement efforts. The Department continues to adjust its processes openly and appropriately as needed and remains open to partnering with SAO to resolve disagreements in this audit area and find common ground. The Department intends to send a request to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, through the audit resolution process, requesting the questioned costs reported by the SAO be rescinded. The conditions noted in this finding were previously reported in findings 2021-049, 2020-051, 2019-054, 2018-058, 2017-044, 2016-041, 2016-045, 2015-049, 2015-052, 2014-041, 2014-042, 2013-036, 2013-038 and 2012-039. The auditors determined findings 2016-041, 2015-052, 2014-041 and 2013-038 were resolved in fiscal year 2018.

Finding: The Department of Social and Health Services did not have adequate internal controls over and did not comply with requirements to ensure potential child care fraud was correctly identified and reported for the Child Care and Development Fund Cluster. Questioned Costs: Assistance Listing # 93.575 93.575 COVID-19 93.596 Status: Corrective action in progress Corrective Action: The Department concurs with the finding. As of January 2023: ?

Finding: The Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction did not have adequate controls over and did not comply with requirements to ensure it met the earmarking requirements for the Special Education program. Questioned Costs: Assistance Listing # 84.027 84.027 COVID-19 84.173 Amount $188,873 Status: Corrective action complete Corrective Action: When the Special Education program underwent a fiscal leadership transition in 2021, the incoming director identified necessary changes in agency procedures for closing out the fiscal year for the program. Since that time, the Office has fully implemented internal controls to ensure spending plans do not exceed the maximum allowable amounts earmarked for administration and other state-level activities. The updated procedures require the director of Operations and the budget analyst to perform the following: ? Review criteria for spending plans at the beginning of the fiscal year. ? Review the Grant Award Notice and Grants to States Summary Table and Preschool Grants to States Summary Table. ? Review spending plans and update the maximum allowable amounts earmarked for administration and other state-level activities in the spending plan throughout the fiscal year. ? Meet weekly to review spending plans and update plans as requests are received. ? Review monthly expenditure reports during weekly meetings. These updated procedures have contributed to increased communication and partnership between the director of Operations and the budget analyst. These internal controls provide assurance that maximum allowable amounts earmarked for administration and other state-level activities will be in compliance with federal rules. The Office will consult with the federal grantor to discuss whether the questioned costs identified in the audit should be repaid.

October 21, 2022 CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN FINDING 2022-002 EXCESS FUND BALANCE IN FOOD SERVICE FUND (repeat comment) ? Material weakness in internal control/material noncompliance ? special tests and provisions. Over the 2022-2023 school year, the District will utilize the excess fund balance to improve the quality of the food service program. Despite following the spend down plan submitted to the Department of Education last year, the District still has a food service balance that exceeds the allowable balance by $129,204. The food service department will use the excess balance to continue to offer more new food choices, and continue to improve the quality of the food served (including more fresh produce and better quality ingredients). These improvements will continue to be in conjunction with the Michigan Department of Education's Office of School Support Services which will again approve the spending plan. We will begin to implement this immediately

2022-003 Special Tests and Provisions ? Housing Quality Standards Section 8 Housing Voucher Cluster (Section 8): 14.871 Section 8 ? Housing Choice Vouchers 14.879 Mainstream Vouchers Significant Deficiency in Internal Control and Other Matter to be Reported Under the Uniform Guidance Condition: Out of a total population of 166 failed inspections, 17 failed inspections were selected for testing in a statistically valid sample. Exceptions were noted as follows: ? 1 error where unit never passed inspection and the Authority continued to make HAP payments when the contract should have been abated. Recommendation: The Authority should more closely monitor failed inspections to make sure that any units that have not passed re-inspection are not issued HAP payments until all repairs are made, and the HAP contract is terminated for any unit for which the owner has not made repairs within the allowed timeframe. Ongoing staff training and timely management reviews should be utilized to ensure staff is aware of acceptable procedures. In addition, the Authority should review staffing levels, skill sets and case load. Action Taken: The Authority concurs with this finding and will establish more review, oversight and training for the staff responsible for these procedures and assure that HAP payments are properly abated when repairs are not made within the required timeframes.

This caused HAP rent to decrease by $11. ? 1 error where the utility allowance was calculated incorrectly. This caused the HAP rent to decrease by $61. ? 1 error where the prior year utility allowance schedule was used instead of the current year. This had no effect on HAP rent. ? 1 error where adoption subsidy benefits were calculated incorrectly as well as the amount excluded from income. This decreased HAP rent by $9. ? 1 error where $1,753 in unreimbursed medical expenses was carried forward from the prior year 50058 and file had no support for any medical expenses in current year. This decreased HAP rent by $22 ? 1 error where there was no EIV report in file In addition to the above, we noted the following during our new admissions testing (21 new admissions tested): ? 1 error where there was no signed 214 affidavit in the file for one member of the household Recommendation: The Authority should correct the deficiencies noted in the tested files and utilize an ongoing quality control review process on the entire tenant population to ensure proper compliance with the requirements related to tenant eligibility. Ongoing staff training and timely management reviews should be utilized to ensure staff is aware of acceptable procedures. In addition, the Authority should review staffing levels, skill sets and case load. Action Taken: The Authority concurs with this finding and has implemented a robust file review process, enhanced quality control procedures, and provided training on errors noted along with annual program training for all staff.

All federal Project and Expenditure reports were filed timely and all actual expenditures were also reported correctly according to the report overview page. This finding deals with the body of the report which incorrectly listed the Justice Center Project twice, with the obligation amount of $880,00 listed for the project. This duplicated project has been removed from future reports. The finding noted for $175,741, once again has all the correct totals in project overview report, which should be the summation of the report. We have been rehiring staff with American Rescue Plan funds since 2021, and this has been an ongoing project. Once again, the report overview page lists the correct expenditures, however the body of the report has the project listed twice. This duplicated project has been removed from future reports. The reporting software gives a total of expenditures before you hit submit on each report, this total has always displayed the correct cumulative expenditure total. If projects were entered twice, the total expenditures should of been over by these dollar amounts, and they were not.

Finding 2022-001 Sea Mar will retrain medical, dental and behavioral health department staff at all sites who conduct and/or oversee the patient registration and income verification process. This includes Health Center Administrators, Front Desk Supervisors, Dental Supervisors, Financial Specialists and Receptionists. This training will be conducted via Relias (web-based training and testing). This training will be required for all staff including new hires to ensure compliance and consistency. A competency test will be administered after the training, which requires a score of I 00% to pass. If an employee does not pass the competency test, they will be retrained and will retake the test. We will track and run reports for all staff that are required to complete these tasks to ensure compliance. This log will demonstrate that staff at the sites were trained and have passed the competency test. Sea Mar will conduct an audit to determine the accuracy of income verifications. The audit will select a random sample of patients to test and verify accuracy and completeness. Sea Mar has set a goal to achieve accuracy percentage of 95%-100% and will conduct monthly audits to monitor accuracy and improvement. Sea Mar will also implement a process that will require supervisors to review and sign off on employee's income verifications to ensure they are accurate. Supervisors will be expected to ensure this process is being conducted accurately at their sites and to retrain staff who are not accurately verifying income. This review and sign off process will be verified during the quarterly audit. The quarterly audit will also identify sites and staff who need additional training. The contact person for the corrective action plan is Sea Mar's Chief Compliance Officer, Kristina Hoeschen, Kristina Hoeschen@seamarchc.org ,and the anticipated completion date of November 30, 2022.

Criteria: The Hospital must establish and maintain effective internal control over federal awards that provides reasonable assurance that the Hospital is managing the federal awards in compliance with federal statutes, regulations and terms and conditions of the federal award. 2 CFR 200.327 and 2 CFR 200.328 require the auditee to collect financial information and monitor its activities under federal awards to assure compliance with applicable federal requirements and performance expectations are being achieved and report these items in accordance with program requirements. Terms and conditions of the federal award require the Hospital to maintain a reserve fund at specified balance levels. Condition: During 2022, the accounts that represented the reserve fund had a balance below that required by the loan resolution agreements and required deposits were not being made to restore the balances to required levels.

2022-005 Federal Procedure Manual Condition: Internal controls over federal grants should be in place to provide reasonable assurance that misstatement in the schedule of expenditures of federal awards would be prevented or detected. Criteria: Non-federal entities who receive federal or state grants or have grant programs should have documented policies and procedures in place over grants and grant expenditures. Cause: The District does not have documented policies and procedures in place over grants and grant expenditures. Effect: Without documented policies and procedures, the internal control over federal grants is low, and the risk of misstatement in the schedule of expenditures of federal and state awards is high. Auditor's Recommendation: We recommend that the District works on written policies and procedures over grants and grant expenditures. Management Response: The District will work with their auditor to develop and adopt written grant procedures that are in accordance with the Uniform Guidance.

2022-004 Drafting Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards and Related Notes Condition: Like other entities of similar size, the District requires the assistance of the auditor to prepare the schedule of expenditures of federal awards in accordance with the Uniform Guidance. Criteria: Internal controls over preparation of the schedule of expenditures of federal awards should be in place to provide reasonable assurance that a misstatement in the schedule of expenditures of federal awards would be prevented or detected. Cause: Management relies on the auditor to assist with the preparation of the schedule of expenditures of federal awards. Effect: The District's system of internal control may not prevent, detect, or correct misstatements in the schedule of expenditures of federal awards. Auditor's Recommendation: The auditor will continue to work with the District, providing information and training when necessary, to make the District?s personnel more knowledgeable about its responsibility for the schedule of expenditures of federal awards. Management Response: The control deficiency has been discussed with the District?s Board and they acknowledge their responsibility for the schedule of expenditures of federal awards. The District accepts responsibility for the schedule of expenditures of federal awards. Due to the technical nature of preparing the schedule of expenditures of federal awards, and due to limited resources, the District does not anticipate the need for this assistance to change in the foreseeable future.
