January 31, 2025 To Whom it May Concern: The City of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania respectfully submits the following summarized corrective action plan for the Fiscal year ending December 31, 2022. The Audit Report was prepared by Boyer & Ritter LLC, Certified Public Accountants and Consultants, 211 House Avenue Camp Hill, PA 17011. Related findings are described in detail as contained within the City’s Single Audit Report, schedule of findings and questioned costs, and such are numbered in the corrective action plan in accordance with that assigned in the schedule. Any questions regarding this plan can be directed to Bryan McCutcheon, Accounting Manager at bmccutcheon@harrisburgpa.gov. Bryan McCutcheon, Accounting Manager City of Harrisburg Financial Management Bryan McCutcheon, Accounting Manager By or before 12/31/20025 The planned audit timeline was repeatedly interrupted and impacted by ongoing functional issues of a new City-wide financial management system, expanded financial managerial supporting work asked of the Accounting Manager, and recent occurring vacancies in key financial managerial positions. With resulting recent expansion of financial management staff, the Accounting Manager will continue to work and look forward to improved efficiency in the performance of ongoing audit preparation work during the current year.

Fraud was identified by board members of the Dover Interfaith Mission for Housing (DIMH) in November 2023 with respect to the Emergency Housing and Health programs, and an internal investigation ensued. Prior to this finding, a committee of the board reviewed the Executive Director’s (ED) financial reporting and were confident in her documentation, which was also approved by the City of Dover manager of the Emergency Housing and Health programs. Briefly, the ED had invented invoices from motels and landlords along with applications from individuals and families who did not exist. In both programs, DIMH provided funds to cover motel stays and landlord payments and was reimbursed by the City of Dover. In practice, the ED simply took DIMH funds, deposited them into a personal account, and provided invented documents to the City that resulted in reimbursement to DIMH. This clever ruse had eluded both board and city personnel monitoring the expenditures and reimbursements. Once there was suspicion of fraud, board members not involved in prior program oversight actively reviewed files with the City’s program manager to ascertain its extent. A meeting was held between the board chair and the city’s program manager to review all files in order to determine the approximate extent of the fraud, which was clearly limited to these two grant programs. In early January 2023, DIMH board members arranged to meet with the Dover Police Department to provide an overview of the fraud. This led to police contact with local FBI and HUD inspector general offices along with the US attorney for Delaware, with the same board members providing all files and in-person descriptions of the scam. These agencies continued to work on uncovering the details of the case and are expected to meet with the former ED on February 28, 2025. In early 2024, the DIMH board engaged a new external accounting firm and created a new control environment with significant internal controls and separation of duties developed in collaboration with the contracted CPA firm.

Auditee Response: The auditee agrees with the finding. This was a perfect storm of events that created this scenario including COVID requiring the discontinuation of our Point of Sale (POS) System, tally sheets by classroom being used in place of that system, a change in head cooks during the year, and a failure to communicate properly between the Director of Food Service and the new Head Cook. Action Taken: The district has and will reinstitute the use of its POS system so that a child purchasing lunch types in their number and it is credited to that child's account. This system can then be used to track meal purchases throughout the day, week, or month. Since the HeadStart classroom are not MWSD students, they do not have numbers within the system. The Director of Food Services will use this system to report meal purchases and reimbursement rather than rely on head cooks and their tally sheets. Despite this, training should be conducted annually with all head cooks as to the qualifications of a reimbursable meal within the school district, so as to provide a fail safe in the event the POS system goes down for a period of time. Timelines/Contract: Most of this has taken place already in that we have returned to using a POS system. This system has the ability to track data and run reports, so it makes it error free when available. However, people ultimately must have the knowledge too so that they understand the parameters of a reimbursable meal should the system go down. Therefore, annual trainings will be instituted regarding such operations effective immediately. The Director of Food Service will be directed to use one in-service day annually for the purpose of teaching all staff members about reimbursable meals and how the HeadStart Programs fit into that. This should be completed no later than fall of 2025. The contact person would be Joe Stroup, Superintendent.

Audit Finding 2022-004: Material Weakness in Internal Control over Major Programs. It is understood that UPI’s submission of the audited financial statements is late. Due to delays in the completion of the fiscal year 2021 audit, UPI decided to find a new auditor and consultant to provide the auditor with a general ledger and support in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting principles. There were delays in finding the new team, however they are now in place. The accounting information for the fiscal year ended September 2023 is ready for the audit. The preparation of the accounting records for the September 2024 audit is in progress and will be ready for the auditors’ review shortly.

Audit Finding 2022-003: Material Weakness in Internal Control over Major Programs. It is understood that there was no support for various expenditures submitted for reimbursement. Expenditures submitted for reimbursement were missing support due to duplication within the 2022 CSBG grant in the amount of $86,955. The 2022 CSBG was extended to July 29, 2023 and expenditures were submitted to support the $86,955 prior to that date. There was also missing support for the COVID 19 CARES Act grant in the amount of $40,000. UPI is working with the DCA to remediate the issue. As noted in finding 2022- 001, the bookkeeper does not have the technical ability to track the application of expenditures to grants and reconcile the FSR’s to the general ledger. To improve controls and avoid recurrence, the organization has hired an outside consultant to serve as controller. In addition, UPI has updated their record retention policy. Beginning in October 2024, the consultant will adjust and reconcile the accrual basis general ledger monthly and review the application of expenditures among grants.

Management does not dispute these findings, however the reason for this goes well beyond the cause noted by the auditors. In March of 2019, it was discovered that the business manager (now former business manager) had not initiated single audits for FY 2016, 2017, 2018, or 2019. The Board terminated that employee. Current administration and management have been feverishly trying to not only catch up on multiple years’ worth of outstanding audits, but to also rectify myriad problems with existing policy, procedures, record keeping, and accounting mechanisms in cooperation with the Indian Board of Education. The School was without a business manager at all for several months, had one individual who resigned after only a year, and are currently utilizing the expertise of consultants to maintain operations. Nearly everything that is business office-related has been completely overhauled at the School since 2019, as we continue to attempt to become current with outstanding A-133 audits. The School is determined to find solid ground and to meet compliance requirements.

Finding - Federal Award 2022-003 Summary of Finding 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 non_x0002_compliance and a material weakness in internal control over compliance with the reporting requirement. Statement of Concurrence or Nonconcurrence MNADV concurs with the finding and recommendation labeled 2022-003. Corrective Action Due to the limited capacity of agency staff and contractors, MNADV has been late in grant reporting. As a result of ongoing lateness of reports, MNADV has elected to move financial reporting to a quarterly basis as opposed to monthly to reduce the number of required reports. Also, the executive director has elected to train additional staff on programmatic grant reporting in an effort to increase capacity. These two measures will effectively address the problem of late reporting. These measures were put into place starting with FY25 which began on October 1, 2024. Jennifer Pollitt Hill, Executive Director
