2023-013 – EDUCATION STABILIZATION FUND - LACK OF SUPPORT OVER ESSER FUNDS – ALN 84.425 - MATERIAL WEAKNESS & MATERIAL NONCOMPLIANCE Condition: Williston Basin Public School District No. 7 was unable to provide supporting documentation for journal entries that were done to reallocate payroll.

The district has implemented new documentation retention requirements. Anticipated Completion Date: FY 2025

Finding 2023-004 Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Federal Program Titles: Housing Voucher Cluster, Public and Indian Housing Program, Public Housing Capital Fund Program, and Coronavirus Relief Fund Assistance Listing Numbers: 14.871, 14.879, 14.850, 14.872, and 21.019 Material Noncompliance Non Compliance Material to the Financial Statements: Yes Material Weakness in Internal Control over Compliance Criteria: The Authority must maintain complete and accurate accounts and other records for the program in accordance with HUD compliance requirements. Condition: The Authority did not maintain complete and accurate accounts and other records in accordance with HUD compliance requirements regarding Activities Allowed or Unallowed, Allowable Costs/Cost Principles, Eligibility, Reporting, and Special Tests and Provisions. Context: The Authority was unable to provide requested documentation at the time of audit to properly test the HUD compliance requirements. Known Questioned Costs: Unknown Cause: There is a material weakness in internal controls over compliance related to the maintenance of tenant files, wait lists, inspection reports and other records. The Authority has not properly considered, designed, implemented, maintained and monitored a system of internal controls that reasonably assures the program is in compliance. Effect: The Housing Voucher Cluster is in material non- compliance with the compliance requirements of the program. Recommendation: We recommend that the Authority implement a process whereby Authority documents are stored and safeguarded to ensure compliance with the Uniform Guidance and the compliance supplement. View of Responsible Officials and Corrective Actions: The Authority experienced significant turnover in employees during the year and as a result certain source documents were misplaced or destroyed. Management agrees with the Auditors' finding and has hired a new Executive Director who will implement the required safeguards and ensure that the Authority follows its internal control over compliance processes and procedures related to the Housing Voucher Cluster, Public and Indian Housing Program and Public Housing Capital fund Program to remedy the aforementioned deficiencies. Byran McClellan, CFO, will be responsible to implement this corrective action by December 31, 2023.
FINDING 2023-003 - Sliding Fee Discount Program MATERIAL WEAKNESS; NONCOMPLIANCE Identification of the Federal Program: U.S. Department of Health and Human Services; direct awards ALN: 93.224/93 .527, Health Center Program Cluster Compliance Requirement: Special Tests & Provisions Criteria: Section ...
FINDING 2023-003 - Sliding Fee Discount Program MATERIAL WEAKNESS; NONCOMPLIANCE Identification of the Federal Program: U.S. Department of Health and Human Services; direct awards ALN: 93.224/93 .527, Health Center Program Cluster Compliance Requirement: Special Tests & Provisions Criteria: Section 330 of the Public Health Service Act and the HRSA Health Center Program Compliance Manual require health centers to maintain and operate a board-approved Sliding Fee Discount Program that adjusts patient charges based on income and family size using the current Federal Pove1ty Guidelines, applies uniformly to all patients and all in-scope services, and is supported by adequate documentation of eligibility determinations. In addition, Uniform Guidance requires nonfederal entities to establish and maintain effective internal controls over federal programs to provide reasonable assurance of compliance with federal statutes, regulations, and award terms. Condition: During testing of the Sliding Fee Discount Program within the Health Center Cluster, the Center could not provide documentation of the appropriate sliding fee discounts for certain patients in accordance with federal requirements. Context: The condition was identified through testing of the Health Center Cluster as pa1i of the single audit, which included testing patient fee assessments and sliding fee discount application as a special test required under the program. Controls were determined to be ineffective in 2 of 40 test items. Noncompliance was noted in 2 of 25 test items. Statistical sampling was not utilized. Cause: The condition was caused by inadequate internal controls over the implementation and monitoring of the Sliding Fee Discount Program, including limited supervisory review to ensure all sliding fee applications are maintained, reviewed, and properly applied. Effect or Potential Effect: The Center's failure to maintain documentation surrounding sliding fee discounts in accordance with federal requirements increases the risk of noncompliance with Health Center Program requirements and may result in patients being charged amounts not aligned with their ability to pay. The condition also increases the risk of adverse findings during HRSA oversight or other federal monitoring activities. Questioned Costs: No questioned costs were identified as a result of this finding. Repeat Finding: This is not a repeat finding. Recommendation: The Center should enhance internal controls over the Sliding Fee Discount Program by ensuring consistent documentation of income and family size, timely reassessment of eligibility in accordance with policy, consistent application of the board-approved sliding fee discount schedule to all applicable in-scope services, and periodic monitoring and supervisory review to ensure ongoingcompliance. Views of Responsible Officials: Neighborhood Medical Center has implemented quarterly SFDP internal audits and training for the intake staff to improve compliance oversight and documentation accuracy. A standardized audit tracking log documenting charts are reviewed, findings identified and corrective actions completed. An annual refresher for the staff has been implemented. A quick-reference eligibility checklist has also been developed for staff use. Person Responsible for Corrective Action: Ronica Mathis and Shenika Mathews Anticipated Completion Date for Corrective Action: This practice has already been implemented.
