Recommendation: Marshall Jones recommends that the Organization receive additional assistance in improving their financial reporting processes from individuals who are familiar with GAAP. Marshall Jones also recommends that management establish policies and procedures to ensure that management level reviews of monthly and annual financial information are performed on a timely basis. Views of Responsible Officials: Management of BGCCG acknowledges the finding and concurs with the recommendation. Response of Responsible Officials: To continuously improve BGCCG’s Accounting and Financial Reporting, workflow, and internal controls, BGCCG has begun the process to transition the back-office accounting providers from part-time status to full-time status to sufficiently accommodate the needs of the Organization. BGCCG will employ a full-time Chief Finance & Administrative Officer (CFAO), preferably with CPA/CGMA certification, and strong analytical and financial modeling and forecasting skills as well as deep knowledge of GAAP for nonprofits. This pivotal role will provide strategic direction to ensure the financial health of the Organization while driving innovative financial solutions. The CFAO will oversee all financial and accounting operations of the Organization, including the creation and execution of sound financial policies, procedures and internal controls, budgeting, accounting, cash and debt management, audits, investments, tax compliance, and weekly Accounting and Finance reporting to the CEO and Board Finance Chair. The CFAO will report directly to the CEO. This position will be employed on or before December 31, 2024. BGCCG will also employ a full-time Finance Manager (FM) with commensurate experience that demonstrates exemplary strategic and financial acumen. The FM will be responsible for intermediate-level finance and accounting functions such as general ledger/account maintenance, timely account reconciliation, accounts payable, accounts receivables, data processing, payroll processing, and reporting to the CFAO. The FM will report directly to the CFAO. This position will be employed on or before December 31, 2024. Upon the hiring and on-boarding of the CFAO and FM, BGCCG will immediately begin the process of updating its Financial Management & Accounting Control Policies & Procedures to further strengthen BGCCG’s internal controls. Corrective Action Plan: Upon the hiring and on-boarding of the new full-time CFAO and FM, management of BGCCG will ensure the back-office finance and accounting providers seek and attend professional development trainings as often as possible, in addition to receiving additional assistance from the Board Finance Chair and Treasurer, and CEO to continue improving the financial reporting processes as recommended. Management of the Organization will begin to work closely with the CFAO and FM to conduct weekly, monthly, and semi-annual financial reviews to ensure operational compliance, accuracy, and timely reporting of financial matters. Acknowledged, Phillip Bryant President & CEO

In March 2023, the Organization contracted a third-party accounting firm that implemented new accounting and financial reporting procedures.

The Organization has increased the use of shared, company-controlled electronic data storage to ensure the retention of all source documentation.

Assistance Listing 14.267 Continuum of Care Program Views of the Responsible Officials and Corrective Action Plan: OHS agrees with the issues outlined, which stem from the delayed processing of invoices and untimely payments. These challenges are largely the result of longstanding issues with over-allocations and the need to catch up on processing a backlog of documents. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention, as it provides an opportunity to refine our procedures and put in place measures to prevent these issues from recurring in the future. This feedback will be valuable as we work to improve our processes and enhance our ability to manage workloads more effectively. Contact Person: Jerome R. Hill, Director of Compliance, Office of Homeless Services, 215-686-0371, 215-520-3556

Acknowledgment of Findings We acknowledge the inadequacies in our internal controls over financial reporting that necessitated the material audit adjustments. It is our understanding that these challenges primarily resulted from staffing turnover and a lack of sufficient GAAP knowledge among our former team members. Actions Taken and Planned 1. Staffing Assessment and Recruitment We have experienced significant growth within our team over the past year. It is important to note that the issues raised by the audit are reflective of previous personnel rather than our current team members, who have taken on these responsibilities for the fiscal year ending 2024. Furthermore, we have recognized the necessity for a dedicated revenue cycle role and have recently appointed a Revenue Cycle Manager to this newly defined position. This individual will be tasked with restructuring operational components throughout the organization and redefining all related roles within the Finance department to enhance our internal controls. 2. Enhancement of Staff Development The finance department remains committed to the continuous education and training of our dedicated team members to enhance their capabilities. This initiative includes collaboration with both internal and external subject matter experts. 3. Ongoing Monitoring and Support In September 2024, we initiated the implementation of an automated accounting workflow software, FloQast (FQ). This system enables our team to streamline recurring tasks, maintain checklists, and centralize documentation, thereby improving the accuracy of our financial close data. For instance, FQ provides a consolidated view of the reconciliation status of each account, including balance comparisons to the general ledger, preparers, reviewers, and sign-off dates. Additionally, FQ automatically notifies team members when reconciliations are due or when items are ready for review and alerts them to any unexpected discrepancies. 4. Alvis Staff Responsible: Makesha West, Behavioral Health Divisional Director; Abena Oppong, Developmental Disability Divisional Director; and Jacqueline Neal, VP of Finance.
