FINDING 2023-002 Finding Subject: Covid-19 -Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds – Reporting Summary of Finding: The County submitted the program invoices as required; however, there were no internal controls in place that would likely be e􀆯ective in preventing, or detecting and correcting, noncompliance related to the reporting requirements. The program invoices were prepared and submitted by one employee without oversight, review or approval. Contact person responsible for Corrective Action: Scott Wagner Contact phone number and email address: 260-248-3121 ext. 5, swagner@whitleygov.com View of responsible O􀆯icials: We concur with the findings. Description of corrective action plan: The Whitley County Health Department will develop and implement a policy that will establish and maintain e􀆯ective internal control for invoices for State and Federal Grants, received by the Department. The Director of the department will review all compiled data and sign the invoice along with the employee who compiled the invoice data.

For Assistance Listing 93.011, the auditors were unable to obtain sufficient documentation supporting the compliance of the Corporation regarding eligibility. Participants are eligible to participate in the program and receive a gift card if they received a COVID-19 vaccine. The Corporation screened applicants for eligibility, however, they did not retain supporting documentation to support that the participants in the program had a COVID-19 vaccine. Compliance with the eligibility requirements is the responsibility of Kimberly Green Reeves, Executive Director of Community Impact and the grant coordinator. As grants G32HS42634C6 and U3SHS45317C6 ended May 31, 2023, and July 31, 2023, respectively, no further correction action will be taken. However effective August 15th, 2023, the Corporation has implemented the following changes, which we believe would address future internal control considerations. The below procedures were added to the grant checklist which is required on all grants applied for by the Corporation entities. Responsible parties are required to document all procedures and sign off on these procedures. The requirements formalize reporting and data management procedures, which include proper management approval and retention of these records. The grant checklist is additionally approved by the grant applicant and Vice President or Executive Director overseeing the grant. Determine if there are any eligibility requirements. If so, please list the requirements and how these requirements will be documented. • All eligibility requirements should be documented and signed off on at the time the eligibility is confirmed. • All documentation of these procedures should be retained and readily available upon request.

A scope limitation qualified opinion was issued for Assistance Listing 10.557 as the auditors were unable to obtain sufficient documentation supporting the compliance of the Corporation regarding eligibility. The Corporation uses a paperless system as supported by the State of Indiana and the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Third-party documentation is reviewed by the Corporation at the time the initial eligibility determination of a WIC participant is made. However, due to the paperless system implemented in 2007, these records are not retained. The Corporation’s process for eligibility determination is as follows: 1. A (potential) participant comes into the WIC clinic 2. A clerk verifies information (by looking and checking the appropriate boxes on the screen) a. Proof of identification (driver’s license, birth certificate, hospital birth record, etc.) b. Proof of residence (bill, lease, driver’s license, etc.) c. Proof of income i. Working – 30 days of pay stubs ii. Medicaid – card needed 3. All of the above information is entered into the State of Indiana’s system a. System automatically determines eligibility i. If yes – they continue with appointment ii. If no – they get a letter explaining reason why (over income, etc.) Compliance with State of Indiana participant eligibility requirements is the responsibility of Leslie Miller, WIC Coordinator. As the Corporation follows the State of Indiana’s paperless system as described above, no further corrective action will be taken.
