View of Responsible Official and Corrective Action Plan Heading Home management is in agreement with this finding. Management has reviewed the existing policies and procedures found in Section II Policy #201 of Heading Homes fiscal policies and procedures with appropriate staff and will enforce the policies and procedures to ensure all invoices and funds requests are properly reviewed and approved prior to processing. All invoices and requests for funds for fiscal year 2024 will be reviewed to ensure the payment request is reasonable and necessary. The invoice or funds request will be signed and dated by the preparer, as well as by the reviewer as evidence of approval for processing the payment. All invoices and funds requests will be maintained in the cloud server in a manner that allows them to be easily retrieved when needed. The disbursements in question were reviewed and found to be to vendors regularly used by Heading Home and Heading Home firmly believes that documentation of approval existed at one point in time. However, with the complete turnover in executive personnel during 2023, and the fact that the prior administration utilized an online system for document storage that the current administration has very little access to, we were unable to locate the approvals for these payments. Management anticipates the above corrective action plan to be fully implemented by June 30, 2024. Personnel responsible for ensuring implementation include Connie Chavez, Chief Executive Officer, Debbie Brickman, Chief Financial Officer, and Armando Sanchez, contract accountants team lead.

View of Responsible Official and Corrective Action Plan Heading Home management is in agreement with this finding. After years of turnover in key management positions steps have been taken to address staffing challenges and these positions have been successfully staffed with high-quality individuals who bring extensive knowledge and expertise to their roles. These positions include a new Chief Executive Officer, Director of Operations, Chief Financial Officer, and Director of Human Services. To address challenges in accounting and finance Heading Home has contracted with a local CPA firm specializing in nonprofit accounting and financial reporting to assist the CFO with daily accounting tasks, the monthly close, financial reporting to management and the board of directors, and to facilitate and ensure audits are completed timely each year. The new management group is committed to maintaining a skilled and competent team in key financial roles. Heading Home’s accounting team is now in the process of preparing for the 2024 audit and anticipates the audit to be completed by December 31, 2025. While this will once again result in a late filing, the new management team has made significant strides in a short amount of time and anticipates that the 2025 and all future audits will be submitted on or before the March 31st due date. Management anticipates the above corrective action plan to be fully implemented by March 30, 2026. Personnel responsible for ensuring implementation include Connie Chavez, Executive Director, Debbie Brickman, Chief Financial Officer, and Armando Sanchez, contract accountant team lead.
