Districts who did not receive sufficient funding were made whole by adding Special Education Discretionary Funding to the districts? FY2023 Special Education applications in the department?s Grants Management System (GMS). The FY2022 allocation correction amounts were uploaded as ?additional? funding. The same error existed in the FY2023 allocation spreadsheet and was corrected at the same time by adding the Special Education Discretionary Funding to the ?original? FY2023 allocations in GMS.Additional procedures are not considered necessary as this issue was largely caused by the shifting of responsibility for completing the allocation calculation review from the Grants Administration team to the Special Education team.Completion Date (list anticipated completion date): March 21, 2023Agency Contact (name of person responsible for corrective action): Stephanie Allison, Division Operations Manager, Division of Administrative Services

Child Support Enforcement Allowable Costs / Cost PrinciplesFinding Swnmary:Corrective Plan of Action:The County did not establish and maintain effective internal control overthe reimbursement requests for this program, resulting in reimbursementrequests being submitted with incorrect amounts and requiring revisions.This is the result of the grant manager not having sufficient knowledge ofthe allowable grant expenditures, inaccurate collection of financial data,clerical errors in the reimbursements, insufficient communicationsbetween the grant manager and the grantor agency, inconsistent updatingof internal records, and lack of timely updates to the information systemto implement grantor-required changes for future reimbursements, alsopotentially resulting in incorrect matching calculations.The response of the Humboldt County District Attorney's Office to thefinancial statement findings regarding Child Support Enforcement Grant,this office has contacted the State of Nevada (grantor agency) and hasrequested clarification of the expectations they are requiring for monthlyreporting. This Office has also begun the process of cross training theChild Support Coordinator in preparing and submitting the monthlybilling reports.

Management?s View and Corrective Action PlanThe following is Novant Health?s response to the audit of Federal programs in accordance with the Uniform Guidance for year ending December 31, 2022.2022-002: Evidence of vendor suspension and debarment checks for vendors was not retained ? Significant deficiencyCluster: Not applicableFederal Granting Agency: Health Resources and Services Administration (?HRSA?)Award Name: COVID-19 National Bioterrorism Hospital Preparedness Program (?Bioterrorism Program?)Assistance Listing #: 93.889Award Year: Fiscal year 2022Pass-through entity: N/AManagement understands the importance of ensuring that Novant Health does not enter into covered transactions using federal funds with vendors who have been suspended or debarred, in accordance with federal regulations. As part of the process for adding new vendors, Novant Health searches the SAM.gov website to confirm that the new vendor is not included on the Exclusions list. However, evidence of such checks, while completed, was not properly maintained.Corrective Action Plan and Anticipated Completion DateNovant Health management?s corrective action plan includes:? Maintain documentation of the completed SAM.gov checks for all new vendors to verify the appropriate checks have been conducted and any discrepancies appropriately resolved prior to being entered into the accounts payable system.? For purposes of ongoing suspension and debarment compliance for all vendors (existing and new), ensure a list of vendors paid in the previous month is sent to the Compliance department on a monthly basis to be re-screened on SAM.govNovant Health will implement the above processes beginning October 1, 2023, and will continue these processes on at least a monthly basis. This process will provide two separate confirmations ? that new vendors added do not exist on the Exclusions list of the website, and that existing vendors have not been added to that list since the initial vendor check.For follow-up questions and information, please contact Scott Whitaker, Novant Health Director of Disbursements at eswhitaker@novanthealth.org.Sincerely,E.
