Finding 2022-002: Allowability (COVID-19 ? Provider Relief Fund) Name of Contact Person: David Thomas, Group Vice President & Controller Corrective Action Plan: Atrium Health management believes that, while the Provider Relief Funds reporting was completed on a periodic basis throughout the pandemic, the intent from HRSA was to document the use of those funds for COVID-19 expenses and for lost revenues over the course of the entire pandemic. Because the PRF portal did not allow for previous periods to be restated in response to new information or corrections identified from previous reported periods, the only recourse available for health systems to restate COVID-19 expenses or lost revenues is through future PRF reporting or through the HRSA audit process. Management agrees that the control process in place during the initial reporting process for Wilkes Regional Medical Center did not yield the ultimate cost categorization that was corrected in the PRF reporting noted above; however, management?s interaction with HRSA throughout 2022 and the resulting clarification of COVID-19 expenses, is now incorporated into the overall PRF reporting control process. With respect to the identified questioned costs, management agrees that these costs should not have been included as COVID-19 related expenses for that period. However, management also recognizes that Wilkes Regional Medical Center has unused lost revenues more than this amount and as such, the questioned costs would not be subject to a return of the PRF proceeds. This position is supported by a similar finding in the 2021 Atrium Health Enterprise audit that was resolved with this conclusion and is documented in the Management Decision Letter issued by HRSA dated June 26, 2023. There are no additional PRF reporting periods required to be completed for Wilkes Regional Medical Center and Atrium Health management, when contacted, will provide HRSA auditors similar documentation to support the conclusion reached for these COVID-19 related expenses. Proposed Completion Date: Management will complete the corrective action plan upon request by HRSA.

Negative confirmation documentation is inserted into the patient record. Management is aware of the importance of this process and has continued education efforts with applicable teammates to ensure this process is followed and documented with each patient.

2022-003: Enrollment Reporting Management?s view and corrective action plan Management concurs with the findings regarding the delay and insufficient graduation reporting to NSLDS. The University Registrar is aware of the 6-day delinquency in reporting for summer term due to the timing of the degree awards for the May graduates on the East Falls campus. Degree audits will be checked to ensure are awarded in a timely manner. We also will work with NSC to ensure all enrollment reporting schedules are updated in accordance with the academic calendar of the appropriate branch, limiting any issue with the 60-day certification date during our Summer term, as all other terms have been reported correctly. This will happen every semester on a 4?6 week basis, in tandem with enrollment report submissions. This will resolve the 60-day certification issue. Academic Services makes every effort to report clean enrollments accurately and on time. However, we continue to find inconsistencies with the NSC transmissions to NSLDS and are aware of the need for additional oversight of the NSC process as well as the development of a process to audit NSC transmissions to NSLDS. This will also aid in the elimination of reporting errors between NSC and NSLDS, as in the case of the three graduation records. The Office of Academic Services is working to identify resources to address the above action plans.

June 9, 2023 Maher Duessel 50.3 Martindale Street-Suite 600 Pittsburgh, PA 15212 To Whom It May Concern: Please see our corrective action plan for the findings reported in the June 30, 2022 Schedule of Findings and Questioned Costs. Finding 2022-001- General Ledger Maintenance and Reconciliation Criteria: Timely reconciliation of financial data is necessary to ensure accurate financial information is reported in order to make appropriate business decisions by management and those charged with governance. Condition: The West Mifflin Area School District {School District) did not consistently perform internal control procedures designed to maintain and reconcile the general ledger throughout the year. As a result, the trial balances originally presented for the audit were not properly reconciled and balanced. Cause: The School District did not consistently follow its procedures to ensure that all balance sheet accounts were reconciled to the general ledger and accurately reported in a timely manner. Effect: The financial data was not fully reconciled and completed throughout the year. The audit was delayed to provide time for the trial balances to be updated and ready. Various adjustments were necessary to update the records for the audit and to prepare the financial statements. Recommendation: We recommend that the School District reconcile all of its accounts in a timely manner. Reconciliations should be completed on a monthly basis to support and ensure that the accounts are properly stated. The review should ensure that the reconciliations are completed accurately and that reconciled amounts agree to the general ledger. The review and approval should be documented. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Action: The School District agrees with the recommendation. The process undertaken to update the financial records has been updated to include a more formal procedure to reconcile the general ledger. This review is being performed on a more regular basis and the accounts will be updated and reconciled timely and in advance of the fiscal year 2023 audit. Finding 2022-002- Questioned Costs Related to Procurement Federal Agency: Department of Education Federal Communications Commission Program: COVID-19 Education Stabilization Fund (ESF): 84.425 COVID-19 Telehealth Program: 32.006 Criteria: In accordance with Uniform Guidance procurement requirements found in 2 CFR Part 200.318 through 200.237, the School District is required to ensure that procurement methods used for purchases are appropriate based on the dollar amount of the purchase. Recipients of federal awards should have internal controls in place to ensure procurement practices are consistent and appropriate. Policies should dictate the method of procurement that should be used, who is authorized to approve purchases, and what procurement documentation and information should be maintained. The policy should also explain which items are eligible for non-competitive procurement (i.e., available only from a single source, public emergency, expressly authorized by awarding or pass-through agency, or if competitive procurement results are deemed inadequate). Condition: The School District did not adequately document its analysis that its technology purchases for the ESF and the Telehealth Program qualified for non-competitive procurement for being available through a single source. As a result, the School District did not have documentation to provide evidence of compliance which resulted in questioned costs. Cause: The School District did not have a formal procedure in place to adequately document the procurement procedures that were used. Effect: The School District was not in compliance with the procurement requirements of the Uniform Guidance. Questioned Costs: $1,001,167 based on the technology equipment invoice applied to the ESF and $499,768 based on the technology equipment invoice applied to the Telehealth Program. Recommendation: We recommend that the School District ensures that their purchasing policy formally reflects the procurement requirements in the Uniform Guidance. We recommend that the School District establish procedures to ensure that their purchasing policy is followed, including the use of competitive bids or proposals, when appropriate. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Action: The School District agrees with the recommendation. However, in the beginning of the ESF program, the School District had to act fast to ensure that they could provide the necessary technology to its students. Supply of such equipment was low and the School District had to purchase items that were available in the necessary timeframes for the school year. The School District's management id informally review, justify, and approve all purchases made with ESF and Telehealth funds. Going forward, the School District has recognized its need to enhance its purchasing procedures and will be reviewing its purchasing policy to ensure that it is in compliance with the requirements. Furthermore, the Business Office will ensure that the purchasing policy is followed for all purchases, especially those made through federal programs. These improvements will be in place in advance for the start of fiscal year 2024.

Financial Statements Management?s Response and Planned Corrective Action: The February 2022 and April 2022 distributions were the only distributions impacted by the data input error and both related to the Spring 2022 semester. Due to the error, 871 students (868 of the 2,894 students in the February 2022 distribution and 3 of the 56 students in the April 2022 distribution) received a higher distribution than was originally planned. Of the 871 students, 129 received $70 more than originally planned and 742 received $170 more than originally planned. In no event did any one student receive less than the originally planned distribution amount, and furthermore no student who received the additional funding was ineligible under the program. However, as the $135,436 that was distributed above the planned amount was not properly supported by the College?s plan for distribution due to an error, the College agrees that these monies should not be federally funded. After the error was identified in fiscal year 2023, the College decided to fund the over-awarded amount with the College?s own funds so that the federal distribution is in line with their pre-determined plan that has been publicly posted to the College?s website. After the correction, the College has available $135,436 of HEERF student funding that was already drawn down from the federal government. The College has a plan in place to distribute these monies to students in fiscal year 2023 to remain in compliance with the program. The College will correct the quarterly reporting to reflect the above changes. The College has also put in place review controls around the HEERF distribution process. No other instances of errors have occurred subsequent to the April 2022 distribution and, after the $135,436 is distributed to students in fiscal year 2023, all awarded amounts for student relief funding will have been appropriately expended through distributions to students per the program. Corrective Action Plan Pages Finding Number: 2022-004 Federal Assistance Listing Number: 84.425E Education Stabilization Fund (COVID 19 ? Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund ? Student Relief) Year Ended: August 31, 2022 Responsible Individual: Christine Lasch Comptroller Management?s Response and Corrective Action Plan: The College agrees with the finding and recommendation. For the February and April 2022 distributions to students, there were data input errors in assigning the dollar amount to be distributed to each student based on their EFC category. This caused a change in the amount to be distributed per student from the original pre-determined plan. The February 2022 and April 2022 distributions were the only distributions impacted by the data input error and both related to the Spring 2022 semester. Due to the error, 871 students (868 of the 2,894 students in the February 2022 distribution and 3 of the 56 students in the April 2022 distribution) received a higher distribution than was originally planned. Of the 871 students, 129 received $70 more than originally planned and 742 received $170 more than originally planned. In no event did any one student receive less than the originally planned distribution amount, and furthermore no student who received the additional funding was ineligible under the program. However, as the $135,436 that was distributed above the planned amount was not properly supported by the College?s plan for distribution due to an error, the College agrees that these monies should not be federally funded.

The above procedures have already been implemented.

2022?002?ALLOWABLE COSTS AND ACTIVITIES?PAYROLL AND RELATED ITEMS Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Federal Program Name: Special Programs for the Aging, Title IV, and Title II, Discretionary Projects Grants for New and Expanded Services under the Health Center Program Assistance Listing Number: 93.048 Federal Award Identification Number and Year: Multiple Award Period: Project period 06/01/2018-05/31/2023; Budget period: Multiple Questioned Costs: Approximately $13,000 Statement of Condition During our audit, we noted instances in which timesheets were not approved, and inconsistent allocations were applied to the grants. In some instances, the percentages of allocations calculated in timesheets were incorrect and did not match the allocation in the general ledger. It appears that allocations are based mainly on budget rather than actual direct and indirect time spent on the grant. Recommendation We recommend the organization prevent recurrence of conducting regular reviews, and reconciliations, provide timesheets training and guidance to staff and monitoring compliance. We also recommend a re-design of the timesheets, so grant allocations and calculations for direct and indirect cost are more easily performed and traceable to the grant general ledger. Corrective Action A new timesheet was implemented effective September 1, 2023, for all employees that makes the match between allocations of time worked and allocation of compensation from different sources in the general ledger. The timesheet included specific instructions and was provided to each employee individually. Timeline: The finding was resolved in September 2023. Responsible officials: Bruce Young Candelaria ? President / Ricardo A. Colon Padilla, Vice- President Submitted by: Ricardo A. Colon Padilla, CPA Vice-President
