The District reviews this audit finding internally on an annual basis, identifying control procedures and processes that would leverage movement toward the maximum internal control possible with available staffing. The District does recognize this is difficult with a limited number of employees. We will continue to review our procedures to best meet the needs of the District as well as have internal control in place. We will work on dividing out duties and responsibilities so no one person is handling all cash, receipts, and financial transactions without checks & balance in place. A Business Office employee will collect cash and count, and another person will create the deposit slip, with a 3rd person (front office secretary) taking the actual deposit to the bank.

Explanation and Corrective Action Taken: The audit for the Year Ended June 30, 2021 was completed in June 2023 which has caused a rippling effect for subsequent audits to be late. The Fiscal Officer that was responsible for the June 30, 2021 audit did not prepare or provide the necessary financial information to the Auditors. That Fiscal Officer resigned in March 2022 and the position remained vacant until August 1st, 2022. In August 2022, the preceding Fiscal Officer was rehired. During their prior employment from February 2013 until March 2021 there were no audit findings. In addition to the Fiscal Officer position being vacant for five months, there was a new fiscal coordinator position created and the fiscal assistant position had gone through 3 staff members in less than three years. There are no staff at Human Response Network (HRN) with accounting experience except for the Fiscal Officer and fiscal department of three. The Fiscal Officer who was re-hired in August 2022 completed the 6/30/2021 audit and the 6/30/2022 audit. The 6/30/2023 audit is currently in progress and nearly finished. Preparation and planning for the 6/30/2024 audit has already begun. All efforts to submit it to the Federal Clearinghouse by 3/31/2025 will be made. Human Response Network agrees that monthly reconciliations of all general ledger and balance sheet accounts should be performed timely and accurately. As of August 2022, Human Response Network staff began reconciling accounts and projects on a regular basis as a part of the monthly closing process. Staff continue to receive internal and external training and mentoring from experienced staff members.

Submission of Single Audit Reports (Material Weakness) (Repeat Finding 2022-001) Criteria – Section 200.512 of the Uniform Guidance states that the single audit shall be completed and the data collection form and reporting package shall be submitted within the earlier of 30 calendar days after receipt of the auditor’s report, of nine months after the end of the audit period. Condition and Context – The organization did not complete its single audit and submit its data collection form and reporting package for the year ended December 31, 2023 by the required deadline. Cause and Effect – Due to a delay in the finalization of the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards and the compiling of records and supporting documentation relation to the financial statement audit and compliance audit, the Organization was late in completing its single audit and submitting its data collection form and reporting package to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse. Questioned Costs – None noted. Recommendation – We recommend that the organization improve its financial reporting close process in order to complete its annual single audit and submit the data collection form and reporting package to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse by the required deadline. Corrective Action Plan – FDHC provided all items requested by auditors on or before the required deadline (typically within 24 hours of request). Due to circumstances out of FDHC’s control, FDHC received a default judgement close to the time of audit issuance. This default judgement was based upon an ongoing court case that began in 2019. Once the auditors were notified of default judgement, the auditors made the decision not to issue until they could thoroughly review all relevant court documents related to the default judgement. The late issuance of the audit was not due to the readiness of FDHC accounting team. We do not feel that this will be an issue going forward. FDHC CEO, Shelby Garcia, and FDHC legal counsel will continue to keep auditors updated on any future court proceedings.
