Finding 2023-001 – Material Weakness – Accounting Recordkeeping All Programs Other Condition During the year ended June 30, 2023, management was unable to provide timely year end trial balances in accordance with U.S. GAAP without significant adjusting journal entries required to accurately reflect the underlying accounting transactions. Recommendation We recommend that individuals overseeing the accounting and finance department continue to review the Organization's current accounting policies and update existing policies or implement new policies, as needed, to ensure that the trial balances are accurately maintained throughout the year, reconciliations are completed and reviewed monthly or quarterly, as appropriate, and the trial balances and related supporting schedules are prepared and reviewed timely after year-end. Management’s Corrective Action Plan Management has implemented a structured monthly closing process to ensure timely and accurate recording of transactions. All balance sheet accounts will be reconciled by the 15th day of the following month. We will develop and implement a month-end and year-end closing checklist based on U.S. GAAP and, as necessary, any city, state, or federal reporting requirements. We are also evaluating current staffing levels to determine if there is a need to hire additional personnel or retain external accounting support during the year-end closing process. We will conduct a pre-closing review in the 4th quarter to identify and resolve discrepancies prior to year-end. We will also prepare a preliminary trial balance and draft financial statements by July 31 to allow sufficient time for audit fieldwork. The Finance Committee of the HopePHL Board of Directors will receive quarterly updates on the status of the monthly financial closing process.

While PCRI does have systems in place to adequately track federal expenditures, the preparation of the schedule of federal expenditures was delayed in large part due to the deficiencies outlined in Finding 2023-001, which led to delays in accurately compiling the information required for the schedule of federal expenditures, and that the transition of relevant accounting processes to the outsourced accounting firm will resolve this deficiency going forward. The timeline for full transition of relevant accounting processes to the outsourced accounting firm which started in January of 2025 is approximately seven months due to the complexities of PCRI’s operations. PCRI anticipates this transition being complete in July of 2025.

The delay in submission of the December 31, 2023 Single Audit reporting package to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse by the due date is a direct result of the delays in completion of the December 31, 2023 audit which were caused by the deficiencies outlined in Finding 2023-001. Management believes that the outsourcing of critical accounting functions will help ensure that PCRI’s records are reconciled in a timely manner which will allow for the Single Audit to be submitted by the due date going forward. The timeline for full transition of relevant accounting processes to the outsourced accounting firm which started in January of 2025 is approximately seven months due to the complexities of PCRI’s operations.

Name of Contact Person: Terri Brown, Director of Finance Corrective Action: Due to the extreme turnover within the Finance Director position in FY 22-23, there were more than normal accounting errors that were corrected by journal entries in the FY22 audit. The Executive Director addressed the turnover by hiring a Finance Director with extensive non-profit finance and operation experience. In addition, training was provided on the accounting software. The Finance Director role has been occupied by one individual for multiple years. A Bookkeeping position was also created and filled which now allows for more separation of duties. A system of checks and balances have been established between the Bookkeeper, Administrative Assistant, Finance Director and Executive Director. This system includes the enhancement of protocols such as cash receipts, disbursements process and journal vouchers, monthly one on one in depth review of financials with Program Directors and Finance Director, and monthly Finance Director and Executive Director meetings. In addition, the Executive Director, Finance Director and Bookkeeper are now using the secured server to file digital copies of most financial documents. The Finance Director has monthly finance meetings with each Program Director to review their monthly actuals against budget. In addition, the accounting system is now remote which allows for access based on role for the Bookkeeper and Executive Director. The organization has created a third position, Accounts Receivable Coordinator to process all AR related duties. Proposed Completion Date: Immediately.
