Over the past three years the hospital has been working hard to overcome a very hard financial turnaround. As a result, days cash on hand has been extremely low and there has been no way for the facility to make payroll, vendor payments, and debt payments, while maintaining a debt reserve. However, over the past 12 months we have started to reap the reward of the hard work through operationally increasing revenue, reducing costs, and being more strategic on service lines. This will allow for us to hit the reserve amounts in 2025, while maintaining the cash flow needed for operations.

This was rectified mid-way through the 2023 year, when all covenants were reviewed with the USDA and Colliers Mortgage team. As a result, these reports have now been sent timely to USDA starting at the end of 2023 and have continued since then. The annual debt reserve calculation has not been provided as that was not brought to the hospital’s direct attention during our bi-weekly USDA meetings. However, going forward these will be added.

View of Responsible Official: We agree with the auditors' comments, and the following action has been taken to improve the situation. We have adjusted the agency’s Accounting Policies & Procedure Manual to include a detailed review of the General Ledger detail supporting each draw request. Accounting personnel will ensure the agency’s General Ledger specifically details the month of rent and utility allowance being provided so eligible costs are clearly delineated. Someone other than the preparer will perform a review of each drawdown request to ensure that costs are not being drawn down prior to the operating start date of each individual grant. This issue was discussed with HUD in March 2024 at which time procedural changes were implemented. Additionally, as noted above, our agency was able to repay and redraw the funds drawn outside of the aforementioned period of performance without further penalty. Corrective Action: Effective March 2024 the preparer is required to include the month of rent and utility allowance being provided in the General Ledger detail. A review of the General Ledger detail supporting each draw request will be performed by someone other than the preparer to ensure that costs are not being drawn down prior to the operating start date of each individual grant.
