Finding 2021-003- Material Weakness and Material Noncompliance over Allowable Cost and Reporting Contact Person: Andrew Wenning Managements Response: During a review of expenses related to the COVID pandemic, the audit identified payroll and non-payroll expenses that management first thought eligible but on further review, (and subsequent to the submission to the portal) determined were unallowable per the Provider Relief Fund grant and Coronavirus Relief Fund grant terms and conditions. Management has put into place a policy for an individual in the accounting department to review all COVID expenses on a monthly basis going forward. In addition, management will further investigate the total likely questioned cost in order to determine the complete known questioned cost in the period 1 payroll and non-payroll expenditure population by June 30, 2024. For payroll expenses, the policy includes that a review and approval of the expenditures will be performed by an individual in accounting to ensure that the hours and wages calculated meet the terms and conditions of the PRF. If any non-eligible payroll expenses are identified during the review process, they will be removed. For all other expenses, we will obtain and retain approved copies of all invoices or other documentation to support expenses and review for eligibility. If any non-eligible expenses are identified during the review process, they will be removed. Completion Date: April 5, 2024

Finding 2021-002- Material Weakness and Material Noncompliance over Reporting Contact Person: Andrew Wenning Managements Response: We have determined that certain expenses reported through the Department of Health and Human Services PRF reporting portal for period 1 did not reconcile to the underlying expense details by nature and/or function, and therefore did not comply with PRF reporting requirements. We have implemented a monitoring control over PRF reporting to ensure that expenses submitted through the PRF portal are properly classified by nature and/or function, and that such amounts reconcile to the underlying details and accounting records.

Allowable costs related to the program are expenses or losses that were not reimbursed from other sources or that other sources were not obligated to reimburse. The Hospital did not reduce COVID-19 related costs claimed under the PRF program for cost-based reimbursements received from the Medicare program for the COVID-19 related expense. The Hospital will ensure the costs included in all subsequent Provider Relief Fund reporting is reduced for amounts reimbursed by other sources.

2021–005 Period of Performance Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Federal Program Name: Health Center Program Cluster Assistance Listing Numbers: 93.224 and 93.527 Federal Award Identification Number and Year: H8ECS37958 Award Period: May 1, 2020 through May 31, 2021 Type of Finding: • Material Weakness in Internal Control over Compliance • Other Matters (Modified Opinion) Criteria or specific requirement: According to § 75.302 Financial management and standards for financial management systems of 45 CFR Part 75, the non-federal entity’s financial management systems, including records documenting compliance with federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of the federal award, must be sufficient to permit the preparation of reports required by general and program-specific terms and conditions. Further, the financial management system of each non-federal entity must provide accurate, current, and complete disclosure of the financial results of each federal award or program in accordance with the reporting requirements. According to § 75.303 Internal controls of 45 CFR Part 75, the non-federal entity must establish and maintain effective internal control over the federal award that provides reasonable assurance that the non-federal entity is managing the federal award in compliance with federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of the federal award. Condition: CLA was unable to verify if the Family Practice is in compliance with period of performance. Questioned costs: Unknown Context: During our review expenditures for period of performance we noted expenditures were not supported by adequate records and documentation to facilitate testing. Recommendation: We recommend the Family Practice design controls and procedures to ensure the documentation and records required to identify expenses and the date incurred are properly maintained in the files of the Family Practice. Cause: Management oversight. The Family Practice lacked established internal controls and procedures over financial grant management to ensure supporting records and documentation are properly maintained in the files of the Family Practice. Effect: Inability to support compliance with the grant and a potential loss of federal funding. Recommendation: We recommend the Family Practice design controls and procedures to ensure documentation is properly maintained in the files of Family Practice. Views of responsible officials: There is no disagreement with the audit finding.

2021-003 Material Weakness - Allowable and Unallowable Activities and Allowable Costs Recommendation: We recommend the Family Practice design controls and procedures to ensure submitted reports and the documentation used to prepare the reports are properly maintained in the files of the Family Practice. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: The Family Practice designed controls and procedures to ensure submitted reports and the documentation used to prepare the reports are properly maintained in the files of the Family Practice. The CEO and CFO roles have been separated into two distinct positions. Separating the roles has significantly strengthened internal controls. Furthermore, a controller has been hired to prepare the reports and maintain appropriate and complete supporting documentation, which will then be reviewed by the CFO and CEO before submission.

We agree with the auditors' comments, and the following action will be taken to improve the situation. We have adjusted the Organization’s Accounting Policies & Procedure Manual to include a detailed review of the General Ledger detail supporting each draw request. Accounting personnel will ensure the Organization’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. 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.

We agree with the auditors' comments, and the following action will be taken to improve the situation. As of the date of this report, we are adjusting the Organization’s Accounting Policies & Procedure Manual to include a detailed review of the General Ledger detail supporting each draw request. The purpose of this change is to request drawdowns that agree with actual expenses incurred during the draw period requested. Due to late completion of the 2020 audit, recommendations cited in the audit report were not implemented in 2021. During 2022, the practice of tracking grant utilization on a monthly basis was instituted for all grant awards. Documentation of allocation methodologies for shared expenses (i.e., office rent, general office supplies, telephone/internet costs, copiers, payroll processing) had begun. After the 2020 audit report date, all grant draws were supported by the expense detail reflected in the general ledger as prepared by a Sr. Accountant and reviewed and approved by the Chief Financial Officer. Further, monthly reconciliations of grant draw requests and posted revenues, receivables, and expenses will be performed for each grant. The services of an external consultant were utilized to assess the finance department’s staffing levels. This resulted in the onboarding of three (3) new Sr. Accountants and a Chief Financial Officer by early 2022. This provides adequate staffing to perform a review of the federal grant expenditures on a timely basis.

Finding Number: 2021-005 Condition: - The System received targeted distributions for Bucyrus Community Hospital. A period one portal submission was completed, but no allowable expenses or lost revenues were reported within the Bucyrus Community Hospital report. All allowable expenses and lost revenues were reported on the first period portal submission for Galion Community Hospital, another hospital of the Avita Health System. Planned Corrective Action: The portal submission could not be modified by the time we identified the reporting issue. As such, no corrective report was completed, however management will implement procedures to ensure reporting requirements are adequately reviewed for all federal funding.

2021-002 Summary of Finding (optional) Late submission of required financial, programmatic, and performance reports: All of the grants under these programs require that financial, programmatic, and performance reports be submitted on a monthly, quarterly basis and/or annual basis. Monthly and quarterly financial and performance reports are due within thirty calendar days from the end of each quarter. Annual financial and performance reports are due within 90 calendar days from the end of each grant year. During our testing, we noted nine reports that were submitted after the deadline. We consider this to be an instance of noncompliance and a material weakness in internal control over compliance for the reporting requirement. Statement of Concurrence or Nonconcurrence The Maryland Network Against Domestic Violence concurs with this finding. Corrective Action MNADV continued to experience significant transitions during FY21. FY21 was the first full fiscal year for the new Executive Director and a new finance manager was hired at the beginning of FY21. These senior leadership transitions were marked by a learning curve for both the Executive Director and Finance Manager who had to learn the reporting processes and online systems for each of the different grants which included federal, state and private reporting systems. Also of note was a lack of completed audits for FY19 and FY20, which meant that substantial work had to be completed to ensure that what was reported for each grant was indeed accurate. All of these factors contributed to reports being late and none of these factors are still at play. The current Executive Director and Finance Manager are now familiar with all reporting systems. All login and secondary authentication methods have been properly set up and are functioning as desired. Internal processes for collecting grant data and reporting out this data have been established.
