December 31, 2022 Compliance Requirement: Reporting ? PIH Information Center (PIC) Reporting Type of Finding: ? Significant Deficiency in Internal Control over Compliance ? Other Matters Condition: The Authority did not satisfy PIC reporting requirements in accordance with 24 CFR Part 908. Exceptions were noted in 4 out of 40 recertifications. In each of the four instances, the HUD-50058 was unable to be located within the PIC system. Cause: The Authority did not identify recertifications that failed to upload to the PIC system. Auditor?s Recommendations: Recommend that the Authority implement controls to ensure HUD-50058 recertifications are uploaded to PIC. Response to Finding 2022-002 The Authority generally concurs with the auditor?s findings and recommendations. The 2022 Audit included the review of 40 Recertifications and identified four instances where the HUD- 50058 was not located within the PIC system. Action Taken: A Corrective Action Plan has been developed to ensure HUD-50058 recertifications are uploaded to PIC. Implementation began on August 1, 2023. To provide consistency, the plan is to upload the HUD-50058 sixty days in advance of the recertification date. HAKC will upload the HUD-50058 every week to ensure recertifications are registered in PIC. In addition, we will increase quality control file reviews and conduct such reviews on a more frequent basis to identify errors sooner and address the cause of errors quickly to prevent systemic errors. Errors will be identified by error type and the person who made the error. Patterns of errors will be monitored, and additional training provided for similar error types that are frequently repeated and persons who are identified as frequently making errors. Name of the contact person responsible for corrective action: Edwin Lowndes Executive Director. Planned completion date for corrective action plan: March 1, 2024.

Other Matters Condition: Exceptions noted in 1 out of 40 files tested for eligibility requirements. The Authority was unable to provide documentation for releases of information or third-party verification of reported family annual income, the value of assets, or expenses related to deductions from annual income. Cause: The Authority did not maintain supporting documentation within the tenant file. Auditor?s Recommendations: Recommend that the Authority implements controls to ensure the tenant files include all required documentation at the time of recertification. Response to Finding 2022-001 The Authority generally concurs with the auditor?s findings and recommendations. The 2022 Audit included the review of 40 HCV files and deficiencies were noted in only one file. The Authority was unable to provide documentation for releases of information or third-party verification of reported family annual income, the value of assets, or expenses related to deductions from annual income. Action Taken: The implementation of a Corrective Action Plan to address the errors to ensure that the tenant files include all required documentation at the time of recertification began on August 1, 2023. To provide consistency, increase staff knowledge and reduce errors, training began immediately and will continue on an annual and as needed basis. In addition, HAKC will increase quality control file reviews and conduct such reviews on a more frequent basis to identify errors sooner and address the cause of errors quickly to prevent systemic errors. Errors will be identified by error type and the person who made the error. Patterns of errors will be monitored, and additional training provided for similar error types that are frequently repeated and persons who are identified as frequently making errors. Quality reviews will be conducted for all files to ensure that all required documents are in the files. It is anticipated it will take one year to complete the initial file review. After the initial review files will be selected randomly and reviewed according to an established quality control schedule. Each team member will be responsible to collect missing documents identified when completing an annual recertification, interim recertification or change of unit. The Director and Supervisor will assist the Deputy Executive Director and Executive Director in overseeing these corrective actions during the next fiscal year.

Finding 2022-001 ?Internal Control Over Allowable Activities/Costs and Period of Performance Status: Plan is being formulated. Planned Corrective Action: The Foundation followed the express instructions of the State of Alabama, Department of Finance (the ?Grantor?) to The Alabama Nursing Home Association Education Foundation (the ?Foundation?), which permitted the Foundation to rely upon the certifications of nursing home applicants that the applicant had or will have sufficient unmet needs related to qualifying purposes due to the COVID-19 pandemic to support the receipt of the various allocations of the herein described COVID-19 Funds. Under the terms of the certification, each applying nursing home further certified that for ten (10) years it would maintain auditable records supporting the unmet need and use of the COVID-19 Funds. This manner of requiring only a certification for the distribution to health care providers is consistent with the requirements the federal government used when distributing an array of emergency funding (e.g., provider relief funds, rural funds, and infection control funds) to health care providers to meet the unmet needs caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The term ?COVID-19 Funds? means those funds the Foundation received from the Grantor with respect to (i) The CARES Act Corona Virus Relief Funds for the period from January 31, 2020 through December 31, 2021, and (ii) America Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds for unmet needs for qualifying purposes incurred or to be incurred during the period March 11, 2021 through December 31, 2024. To provide further assurance that the COVID-19 Funds were properly applied by the nursing home beneficiaries receiving COVID-19 Funds through the Foundation, the Foundation is working with its outside accountants and legal counsel to develop a look-back review plan. The framework of the look-back review plan will be for each nursing home beneficiary that received COVID-19 Funds to submit during the first month of the third quarter of the calendar year 2024, a worksheet similar to the period reporting worksheets that are required by the federal Health Resources & Services Administration (HRSA) to justify the COVID-19 provider relief funds, rural funds, and infection control funds received by health care providers. In addition to these HRSA type worksheets, a more in-depth examination of a sample of nursing homes will be made by randomly selecting 10 nursing homes from a pool of the 30 nursing homes that received the most COVID-19 Funds through the Foundation, plus another 15 nursing homes from the remainder of the pool of beneficiary nursing homes. These randomly selected nursing homes will be required to supply actual documentation supporting the COVID Funds received. This documentation will include invoices, payroll records, revenue journals, and cost reports. Among the provisions of the certifications submitted by each applying nursing home, is an acknowledgement that (i) the nursing home is subject to audit by the applicable State and federal agencies, and the Foundation, (ii) any COVID-19 Funds received through the Foundation and not properly applied must be refunded, and the nursing home will comply with the requirement that it must maintain for ten (10) years auditable records supporting its use of the COVID-19 Funds it received through the Foundation. In the event that it is determined that one or more nursing homes were unable to properly apply the COVID-19 Funds to an unmet need for a qualifying purpose, those COVID-19 Funds will be recouped and either redistributed to any nursing homes that are able show an unmet need continues to exist using a distribution formula consistent with past distributions of refunded COVID-19 Funds, or returned to the Grantor. This redistribution or return to the Grantor will occur no later than December 31, 2024.

March 6, 2023 CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN Latino Network respectfully submits the following corrective action plan for the year ended June 30, 2022. Name and address of independent public accounting firm: Kern Thompson 1800 SW First Avenue, Suite 410 Portland, Oregon 97201 Audit Period: 07/01/2021 ? 06/30/2022 The findings from the schedule of findings and questioned costs are discussed below. The findings are numbered consistently with the numbers assigned in the schedule. Finding ? 2022-001 Criteria/Requirement: In accordance with 2.CFR?200.331, a pass-through entity must monitor the activities of subrecipients to ensure that federal awards are used for authorized purposes in compliance with laws, regulations, and the provisions of contracts and grants agreements. Condition/Context: Latino Network passed through $85,311 in funding to subrecipients. During our audit, we noted that the Latino Network did not have documented written controls or procedures to ensure compliance with the U.S. Office of Management and Budget?s Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance) subrecipient monitoring requirements. Cause: Procedures are not in place to ensure that Latino Network is maintaining adequate monitoring for each federal subrecipient. Effect: Failure to maintain sufficient subrecipient monitoring may result in the wrongful use of federal funds and non-compliance with the provisions of applicable requirements. Questioned Costs: $85,311 Recommendation: The Organization should establish written policies and procedures regarding the monitoring of subrecipients, as well as establish monitoring procedures to ensure that such policies and procedures are being followed. Management?s Response: We agree with the auditors' comments, and the following action will be taken to improve the situation. We will create and document the policies and procedures for effective monitoring of federally granted subrecipients by the end of the fiscal year. We will then perform monitoring of all federally granted subrecipients prior to our FY23 financial audit. Revisions to the users' manual will be made as needed to ensure the manual is current at all times. Grants & Contracts Accountants and Accounting Manager will be trained to perform federally granted subrecipient monitoring.

Reporting Views of Responsible Officials: Management agrees with the finding and will begin an independent review of each tenant file to include examination of EIV reports to determine if there are any discrepancies and take corrective measures. Leasing office staff will undergo additional HUD 202 training regarding the initial and recertification process. Additionally, management will utilize an external consultant to review tenant files for compliance with HUD procedures (i.e.. use of authorized consent and verification forms, EIV reports, etc.) and ensure supporting documentation is maintained in each tenant?s file.

There will be an internal review process which will require the employee, principals and director to sign off on the appropriate certification date warranted by the need.

2022-003 U.S. Department of Justice Federal Financial Assistance Listing/Federal CFDA #16.575 Victims of Crime Act (VOCA) Cash Management Significant Deficiency in Internal Control over Compliance Finding Summary: The Organization's internal control policy relating to the review over the preparation of cash draws of federal funds prior to submission was not consistently applied throughout the year.

We recommend that a member of the Organization's staff who does not prepare the cash draw review the cash draw prior to submission and document that review on a more consistent basis. Status: The Finance Director reviews and approves the prepared cash draw materials prior to submission electronically via email on a consistent basis. Responsibility of: Andrea Lang, Director of Organization Advancement & Jennifer Babcock, Finance Director Estimated Completion Date: Completed. The Finance Director is now reviewing and approving prepared cash draw materials prior to submission.
