Corrective Action Plan Finding 2022-001 ? Reporting Federal Grantor: United States Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) Assistance Listing No.: Assistance Listing 93.498, Provider Relief Fund and American Rescue Plan (ARP) Rural Distribution (PRF) Federal Award Numbers: N/A Federal Award Period of Performance: July 1, 2020 ? December 31, 2020 A material weakness was issued related to reporting for the Provider Relief Funds (PRF) that represented the major program subject to the Uniform Guidance (UG) audit. This included a compliance finding with no questioned costs. Community Foundation of Northwest Indiana, Inc. and Subsidiaries (CFNI) did not maintain written documentation of the detailed review and approval process of the underlying lost revenue calculations or the approval and sign-off process for the portal submission. CFNI Finance has developed a policy and checklist to maintain written documentation of the review and approval process required under current audit standards to improve internal controls going forward. Due to the timing of the prior year UG audit, the implementation of the new policy could not impact the current UG audit, resulting in the same finding. This has been corrected for future audits with the policy being effective October 2022. In the compliance finding, management failed to catch a change in formula to a large excel file returned from an external resource. This resulted in underreporting lost revenues for one entity. The finding affirms the need for an official policy identified in the reporting deficiency, which CFNI has fully corrected, and management will improve the review process and communication over changes to files sent and received from both internal and external resources. CFNI will correct the reporting error in the next reporting submission for period 4. Responsible Official: Pamela Pokropinski, Director Accounting & Financial Systems Status of finding: Fully corrected.
