Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions: We agree with this finding and have implemented the following internal control policies and procedures concerning the timeliness of financial activities: Rainbow Health Minnesota is reimplementing monthly board meetings that will include a financial review of income and expense reports and balance sheets. The lateness for the 2022 audit was partially due to staff turnover of the CFO and the subsequent review by the new Finance Director. Responsibility for administering this process resides with the Finance Director

2022-003 Compliance Over Reporting Name of Contact Person: Chief Financial Officer: Amber Curley Corrective Action: The Center agrees with this finding which is directly related to the transitions in financial leadership and the need for a more robust finance team. The Center’s full-time permanent CFO was hired in January 2022 who then immediately increased the team by two new members (1.0 FTE Controller hired in July 2022 and 1.0 FTE Staff Accountant hired in January 2023) and overhauled the Center’s financial policies and procedures manual. With the five-member finance team currently in place, we are on track to complete our FY2022-23 audit process by December 31, 2023. It is also relevant to note that San Francisco community health clinics migrated en masse to OCHIN Epic in 2022 with the overarching goal of our safety net hospitals and all community clinics being on the same EHR system to strengthen patient health outcomes for our city. The Center’s go-live date for this was June 2022 and required extensive time from all executive management, with our newly hired CFO being a key leader in this migration. This one-time, significant event had a direct impact on our ability to complete our audit in a timely manner. Proposed Completion Date: June 30, 2023

U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY KANSAS ADJUANT GENERAL 2022-001: Disaster Grants – Public Assistance CFDA No. 97.036 Grant period: Year Ended December 31, 2022 Condition and Context: The County does not have a complete set of written cash management policies and procedures as required by the Uniform Guidance. The lack of written procedures did not result in any material noncompliance, fraud or abuse with respect to the major program. Criteria: The Uniform Guidance requires Non-Federal entities other than States, including those operating Federal programs as subrecipients of States, to follow the cash management standards set out at 2 CFR section 200.305. The County must have a complete set of written cash management policies, which conform to applicable Federal statutes and the cash management requirements identified in 2 CFR part 200. Cause: The County was unaware of the written cash management policy requirements required by the Uniform Guidance. Effect: An important component of internal controls is the existence of operating policies and procedures and that they are clearly understood and communicated. Without clear written policies and procedures, there is a higher risk of noncompliance with program requirements. Recommendation: Management should determine the scope of written policies needed for compliance with all federal programs and develop policies and procedures to comply with the Uniform Guidance. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions: Management agrees with the finding and recommendation. The County’s existing policies are currently under review by management and staff to determine what updates/changes are necessary in order to meet the Uniform Guidance requirements. Once any updates/changes are drafted, the policy will be presented to the Governing Body for review and approval.

This Repeat Finding has been acknowledged and corrective action is already in the process of being implemented. In November 2022, Union signed a Master Service Agreement with the National Student Clearinghouse (NSC) to perform enrollment and educational financial industry reporting, as well as education verification and authentication services. National Clearinghouse is the leading provider of educational reporting and data exchange, reporting on 97% of post-secondary student enrollments in the US. Union will be using a secure FTP process to send our enrollment data to NSC for timely and consistent reporting to the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS). This Spring, Union completed the initial portion of the implementation by uploading a base set of enrollment data to NSC using Spring 2023 enrollment information. This was followed by one round of data clean-up. A second set of enrollment data was transmitted in December 2023. The Registrar and Financial Aid Director have been provided direct access to both NSC and NSLDS. As a backup, the Associate Dean of Academic Administration and Vice President of Admissions and Financial Aid have been granted NSC login credentials in order to ensure continuity of reporting in case of employee absence. The Registrar’s Office plans to begin regular monthly uploads of enrollment data to NSC beginning January 2024.

During the period of performance in question, the TPFA issued check no. 2012949 to a vendor in February 2022, within the liquidation period. However, the TPFA indicated that the vendor lost the check and the TPFA re-issued payment to the vendor on January 29, 2023. The untimely reissuance of the check resulted in the transaction occurring one day after the liquidation period expired. Plan of action and completion date: As of April 2023, the TPFA has not been issuing checks to vendors, as the responsibility was returned to the GDOE to process all fiscal transactions within the GDOE Munis. The Business Office will closely monitor grant liquidation dates and payments to vendors. SOPs will be reviewed to update the procedures for monitoring grant period of performance. Plan to monitor and responsible officials: The Deputy of Finance and Administrative Services, Joann Camacho, as well as the GDOE Comptroller (vacant), will assign an accountant to monitor the expenditures of federal grants and the corresponding periods of performance and liquidation periods.

Assistance Listing 21.023 Emergency Rental Assistance Program (ERAP) Views of the Responsible Officials and Corrective Action Plan: We disagree with the finding regarding spending reported to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Prior to April 2022, reporting to the state was generated from a reporting dashboard within the Quickbase database. Internal controls checking these reports against raw data revealed an issue with the programming of the dashboard, and beginning in April 2022, reports were generated using raw data downloaded from the portal. Once this issue was detected and resolved, PHDC and the City sent updated and corrected reporting to the Commonwealth, along with a statement detailing our shift in methodology. This shift, and the corrected reports, were accepted by the Commonwealth, as shown in the email chains that were provided to the Controller’s Office. The data underlying the original ERA1 and ERA2 January 2022 reports cited in the finding cannot be recreated since the errors have now been permanently corrected. Auditor’s Comments on Agency’s Response: Regarding the corrected reports provided via email chains with the Commonwealth to our office, we have the following comment: Only one email chain provided had an attached “updated historical check” for ERAP1, submitted to the Commonwealth in July 2022. The historical check included a line item for the month in question, January 2022, but was still reporting the amounts of $173,807 and $22,042 for the Administrative Paid categories (See Table 6). These amounts remain unsubstantiated per our audit testing. Additionally, no corrected reports or updated historical checks were provided via these email chains to address the discrepancies noted for ERAP2 (See Table 7).

In addition, to combat the growth of our organization and additional regulations we have implemented or are in the process of implementing the following activities at Mary's Center:  Employed an experienced Grant director to oversee the grant department and optimize productivity and quality;  Actively enlisting the services of an experienced Finance Consultant to perform an assessment of the entire Finance department including current process and staffing needs;  Invested in technologies such as Sage Intacct ERP (industry leader) to replace manual processes;  Budgeted for additional Finance staffing in our upcoming annual budget to combat current capacity issues.

Views of Responsible Officials: Mary's Center now has a robust process where the agreed upon provisional indirect rate or (if applicable) the specific rate included in the final Grant agreement is the governing default rate used for each Grant. In any scenarios where a change in rate is being requested, the Program Manager alerts the Senior Grant Accountant assigned to the grant and provides supporting documentation from the Grant funder of an addendum to the existing Grant agreement. If for any reason the Finance team is using an upward or downward adjustment to the provisional indirect rate or what was agreed upon in the Grant agreement the EVP Finance and Director of Grants must approve this change and notify the EVPs of Health and Programs and Development prior to implementing this change. All changes are documented. In addition, to ensure the rate in the agreement is the same rate being used when invoicing Grant funders, the Finance team conducts a thorough reconciliation process during the year.
