PROGRAM INCOME - MATERIAL WEAKNESS Federal Program Community Development Block Grant/Entitlement Grant ALN 14.218; passed through the County of Berks HOME Investment Partnership Program ALN 14.239; passed through the County of Berks Condition/Cause The Authority did not properly report program income in IDIS during the year, and therefore could not support that program income was applied prior to drawing down entitlement funding. In some instances, program income received was not reported in IDIS, and one receipt was entered into IDIS twice. When received, program income is reported in a separate general ledger account in the financial reporting software. The Fiscal Officer then enters the program income into IDIS on a regular basis. No control exists to ensure completeness or accuracy of information entered into IDIS related to program income. Recommendation We recommend the Authority develop a procedure/internal control to ensure program income is entered accurately and completely within IDIS. This will allow for documentation to support that program income is being utilized prior to drawing down entitlement funding. This will also ensure compliance with reporting requirements for reports generated within IDIS on an annual basis. Management Response The Authority implemented a new policy to track and document program income: a. Upon receipt of program income, it shall be entered individually into IDIS and assigned to an activity or activities within fifteen (15) calendar days of receipt. b. At the next request for funds for an activity which includes funding from program income, program income shall be used prior to requesting federal funds for the activity. c. The request for federal funds shall be prepared by the Fiscal Officer and reviewed by one of the Assistant Fiscal Officers to determine if program income is being used prior to the request of federal funds. d. If it has been determined and documented that program income is being used prior to the request for federal funds, the request shall be forwarded to the Executive Director for approval.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. There were several factors that contributed to the difficulties we encountered submitting the required quarterly reports and have since remedied those issues. The Human Services Department has worked with Treasury on the challenges we encountered uploading the required reporting templates and we now has multiple people with access to the reporting portal and in the event of staff turnover we can continue to submit required reports. The Human Services Manager and the Budget and Finance Analyst have created reminders on their calendars to ensure reporting is completed on time and with accurate data.

2022-101 Lack of Internal Controls over the Application of the Sliding Fee Scale Condition: The Organization lacks consistently applied processes and procedures related to the application of the sliding fee scale. The Organization also lacks a clear review process related to the sliding fee scale to identify errors quickly to allow for corrections to be made in a timely manner. Corrective Action Planned: The Organization has hired a new Chief Financial Officer as well as additional supporting staff within the finance department. The Organization’s policies for the sliding fee scale were recently updated during fiscal year 2022, by management, based on findings during the monitoring by HRSA performed in 2022, but management will consider discussing potential improvements to their policy with the grantor to potentially update it to allow for certain exceptions. The Billing and Collections Policy will be updated to waive co-pays for students in the School-Based Program. The Billing Department will audit and implement periodic feedback & training sessions for the Operations Department for training and compliance for the Sliding Fee Discount Program. The Organization expects to have the corrective action implemented by May 1, 2025.
